THANK YOU for actually putting up what these things are!

assfarter.bsky.social•17 days ago

Impotent virtue signaling from the party that brought us the Gaza holocaust. "we introduced amendments we knew would fail, give us money now"

You are responsible for Trump

Who is the leader, the inspiration, the charismatic fighter of the Democratic Party?

The 74 y.o. Schumer, who is softer than my underwear or Hakeem Jeffries, who is softer than Schumer and my underwear?

No countries accepted the fascists taking over except America. America is a fake democracy.

Yes. That's what Republicans do. It's totally expected. The question is why are most Democratic leaders sitting in their offices while Trump destroys things that may never be rebuilt? Musk is firing people and destroying what took generations to build. Democrats? Just doing messaging.

—Protect the Affordable Care Act from Republican attempts to weaken and repeal it
—Stopped Republicans from rolling back legislation to lower prescription drug prices for American families

—Ensure kids, seniors, Americans with disabilities, and those in need can continue receiving care and food assistance
—Kept Elon Musk from accessing your private data

Republicans rejected every single one.

You’re actively alienating and poking fun at large part of your base while they lose rights and get death threats.

Get your shit together.

cranberryhorn.bsky.social•17 days ago

Exactly where are they going to stop with negligent homicide?

skylarcat.bsky.social•17 days ago

is this surprising? have you just learned that Republicans exist?

Not gay enough. Show us the filibussy

ah well, you tried, time for a nap

everydog.bsky.social•16 days ago

can't wait for 90% of you to vote to pass it anyway

nikkinewtt.bsky.social•17 days ago

Who even runs this account?

imcaitlintho.bsky.social•17 days ago

Please for the love of whatever you believe in, do not settle to look united. WE ARE NOT UNITED. They want to see us all die.

cryptix23.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hey did you do anything other than wring your hands and say "Hey you can't do that it's illegal?" Trying to make it MORE illegal doesn't count.

scoundrel2.bsky.social•17 days ago

then the answer is a hard no.

optimisticdoomer.bsky.social•17 days ago

They already do not care that Trump is violating the legally passed budget, so what on earth do you think this accomplished?

mongolianbbq.bsky.social•17 days ago

So you’re going to refuse to collaborate further with them, right? RIGHT??

kingoftheegayz.bsky.social•17 days ago

Which means we are going to vote it all down, right?

davetheblitz.bsky.social•17 days ago

Do you expect us to be surprised?

Do you expect us to be happy that the Dems proposed legislation that no one doubted the GOP would reject?

Do you expect us to be satisfied with this half-hearted attempts to fight Trump’s policies?

azonie.bsky.social•17 days ago

So the Dems accomplished nothing?

jeanniepep.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well you officially lost the gay/trans/ally vote with your 7th grade "ha ha gay" meme, so it definitely won't just be Republicans voting against you for the foreseeable future. Put a fucking adult in charge of your social media.

kingdomfantasy6.bsky.social•17 days ago

And?

Talking abuot what was done is good, but it can't stop at "and then it was rejected by the fascists." Of course the fascists rejected the measures to stop them. They're fascists.

What are next steps? What are y'all going to do about that?

kingdomfantasy6.bsky.social•17 days ago

People are dying. More people will die. People are AFRAID of where their income will come from, of if they'll be attacked, of what excuses cops will make up in order to arrest them.

We are in a fascist nation. The time for "we go high when they go low" was past decades ago.

stacydaless.bsky.social•17 days ago

This is going to get ugly.

democracyyea.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yes it is and they better vote as a solid democratic block. I’d wager to bet the gop representatives need democratic votes to pass this in the House.

dearzeus.gay•17 days ago

And then instead of blocking RFK you let the vote happen because you wanted a 4 day weekend.

chrish2122.bsky.social•17 days ago

I think you should do another weird meme to show them what’s up.

jpmcjefferson.bsky.social•16 days ago

Democrats need a national spokesperson responding daily with a regularly scheduled press briefing to counter the stream of lies, misinformation, and craziness being spread everywhere by Trump/Musk. I would suggest Mitch Landrieu, a great speaker with a great resume and actually, POTUS possible.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social
The resistance needs a voice. Stand where democracy is under attack and speak in front of the cameras, to the people, every day.
Hold a Grocery Aisle Chat. A Border Town Chat. A Social Security Office Chat. A Construction-Site Chat.

The first to do it right wins in 2028.

gamsilroy.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yo. Have you all tried to enter a building you all have legal right to enter and just staying there?

Or is homophobia and amendments you new would be rejected the best you can do?

chadfarrenburg.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well yeah no shit.

nygrl1.bsky.social•11 days ago

Great, what did you expect? Can we do something that will actually protect citizens? How about playing dirty like them? We have allies, we can stage a coup - then Musk and Trump can go to prison for treason

nettienoel.bsky.social•17 days ago

How many objections to unanimous consent?

Oh that’s right. Zero.

ALL COMMUNICATION MATTERS — esp. in CRISIS.

POOR comms falls apart when you NEED them MOST.

Republicans are evil-brilliant communicators + consistent messaging across ALL platforms. The @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social account is CRINGE.
