Wow, it looks like the responses are full of whiners and crybabies demanding 'Do something!'. I'm wondering how many of those same folks stayed home on election day or even protest-voted for Trump or Jill Stein; because they helped make this Trump disaster a reality.
The sad truth of the matter is that liberals do have it right, and we’re gonna end up right back here in the same place in 5, 10, 50 years. You can’t stop progress. This is like a reactionary lurch that will fail
Agree with all these folks below that these dailies are weak and milquetoast. This is routine business introducing legislation that will never pass due to your numbers. Performance legislating?
When will you name a Shadow Secretary of Health? State? Education? Defense? Treasury?
That’s what we need - an alternative voice. Not just a bunch of state level actions and “inside baseball.” We’re in national free fall because you won’t provide a national alternative.
Protests. Filibusters. Articles of impeachment. Investigations of abuses. Shadow Cabinet. Foregrounding victims. Concerted pushback against thugs. Every day. All day. Nights and weekends.
Mobilize your fighters. Force your capitulators to fight or resign. NOW NOW NOW.
This is a good start towards a better comms strategy!
But the president called himself a king the other day so the actions listed need to be bolder, Congressional Democrats introducing amendments they knew were going to be blocked is not anywhere near enough to meet this moment.
Have any of them cleared the elephant in the room? We have a government, top to bottom, in ALL branches who are traitors? They are committing treason repeatedly before our eyes and only we common folk are screaming it! Our democrat leaders just dismiss it! Guess you're mostly traitors, too.
Great, so what are your plans? You should primary every cowardly rep and senator, prepare to bring back the fairness doctrine, impeach every person responsible for attempting to overthrow democracy from House and Senate members up to SCOTUS.
Put Thiel, Yarvin, Musk, Murdoch and rest on trial for treason, argue for taxing the 1% and quit with the moderate bs that has been harming this country since Clinton.
Democrats? Kammykins and the DNC courted millions of 'Soft' Republicans and left many working class independents and casual Dems feeling forgotten and ignored.
Where were those 'Soft' Republicans on election day?
not to mention lgbt voters. not a single thing in regards to trans rights. except "follow the law" which would mean in half the country, my wife doesnt get medical care.
my suggestion? maybe not certify the results of a dubious election of a convicted felon? maybe dont even let said convicted felon on the ballot in democrat controlled states? work to enshrine things so they cant be EOed away in a week? hell, maybe even run a real candidate and not a legacy hire.
Should they have called militias to storm the capitol, arrest the supreme court, garland and the head ob the FBI and then declare Kamala Harris President?
It's time to let AOC replace Jeffries. We need someone who is a populist to fight a populist. Someone who will not back down and is unafraid of Trump. Someone with a proven record when it comes to Trump supporters in her district. Someone who matches our energy and will do what it takes.
STOP IGNORING THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR YOU. STOP BOWING TO YOUR DONORS. SHOW US YOU ARE WILLING TO CHANGE. or lose again and lose our democracy in the process.
If you want to win in 2028 it starts NOW. Also instead of the performative bullshit maybe try and figure out what you are going to do to win when 1/7 mail in ballots were thrown out, half of provisional ballots tossed etc. GROW A SPINE
We need someone with a loud strong voice, who can energize voters the way that Trump does, and who has a message that Trump supporters relate to as they realize Trump screwed them over.
You spineless fucks need to be on roof tops shouting to the heavens. When’s the next fucking rally? In every city. On every fucking Radio. There not much time left before these motherfuckers have full control of every part of govt. including the 4th branch. Get off your fucking asses before u can’t
I picketed for the UFW as a child w/my parents. As a teen I knocked on doors & leafleted for Dem candidates. As an adult I've volunteered at Dem HQ in a red state; made phone calls, did text & postcards. Call my state & US reps regularly, &now I'm doing my own sign protests in my little town.
We need all Democrats, Independents and Republicans who won't follow Trump to stand up for Americans! Why has everyone been so silent? Y'all are ALLOWING him to ruin this Country and y'all are sitting back watching it while us Citizens are trying to find every possible way to tell you,DO SOMETHING
so zero pushback on massive tax cuts for the rich that will fuck the bond market and make us go bankrupt? i'd think you're also bought by the rich.... oh right. you are
And yet you have hardly put up any kind of fight against the real Trump agenda. This list of “accomplishments” would be an embarrassment to a local PTA. I not a lot of local actions and not a lot of national.
The democrats were more active and in crisis mode during the pro-palestine protests on campuses than they are about a fascist taking control of government. They had giant rallies in DC, etc.
This is great, but the majority of Americans aren’t on social media
We need a Democratic Press Secretary to get the truth out there every single day & she should be @jessicatarlov.bsky.social please, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social
For those that don't know: During WWII, the name of Norway's Minister of Defense, Vidkun Quisling, was used as a label for anyone who capitulated with the Nazis.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? What are you doing to support that Governor? Imagine any democrat president uttering to any Republican governor “We are the federal law.” STEP UP AND FIGHT.

Next time just post the tl;dr and save us the memes.
Fired Chuck Schumer
The House of Representatives Democrats are our heroes

Wake up!

BUDGET AMENDMENTS?
you wusses couldn't stand up to a rent-a-cop and now THIS?
fucking PATHETIC
When 6 million Democrats don't show up on election day, Trump is what happens.
Where were those 'Soft' Republicans on election day?

I think you're deluding yourself, because they're obviously not doing it now.
