The DNC’s entire strategy is to beg “good” billionaires for money to fight bad billionaires. Meanwhile, all billionaires are harming the working class.

Well, of course they did…. keep people traumatized and convince them you’ll pull them out of the abyss, all while convincing the cult that caring for people and showing empathy is “woke”.

justade411.bsky.social•45 days ago

I do not understand this. Republicans say it is not a gun problem, it's a mental health problem, and then cut the mental health funding?

24read-sew.bsky.social•45 days ago

If you don’t identify it as being a problem, you don’t need to do anything about it?

justade411.bsky.social•45 days ago

Like measles and bird flu I guess....

If Congress designated the funding, how can he cut it off??

fascistscansuckit.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why post and NOT answer questions??

marcuselton.bsky.social•45 days ago

Because Democrats have weak leaders and are just going to let them get away with it

fascistscansuckit.bsky.social•45 days ago

Who controls congress?

marcuselton.bsky.social•45 days ago

We do, but once they’re in, they’re in.

fascistscansuckit.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's the Republicans. They are the ones shirking their oaths.

marcuselton.bsky.social•45 days ago

If we had stronger leaders who didn’t think sending angrily worded letters counted as resistance, we might actually be able to stop some of the immiseration.

Where is the mass campaign highlighting the radical right agenda of the FY26 President’s Budget?!
Radical right, radical right, radical right… #RadicalRight

So, what are you going to do about it?

More strongly worded letters are worthless.

More passivity is acquiescence.

Because what's intergenerational trauma if it's not traumatizing, I guess?

pharmacystan.bsky.social•45 days ago

So what’s the plan? Keep acquiescing and confirming insane appointees?

or will you get someone to physically enforce the laws they have broken?

It’s not a funding cut. It’s an illegal impoundment of Congressionally authorized funds. Call it what it is. Come on!

I realize tweeting about xbox prices is imperative, but republicans have been planning project 2025 for 5 years. WHAT ARE DEMS PLANNING TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO MORE TRUMPS IN AMERICA'S FUTURE?!?!?!?!?!

tonyinmarin.bsky.social•45 days ago

It’s time for another “Pick one (or two or three)”:

The funding was cut:

A) Because of course it was
B) Because they don’t care
C) Because they can
D) Because they are cowards
E) All of the above

The funding was cut because the capital class doesn't want that to be funded. They use the Republicans for that but it's not like Democrats really do anything about it. They negotiate before they get to the table then just get skull fucked under the desk while Conservatives do whatever they want.

24read-sew.bsky.social•45 days ago

E) All of the above

gayemily.bsky.social•45 days ago

ILLEGALLY

luposapien.bsky.social•45 days ago

Maybe some congressional body should support articles of impeachment

asteroidnova.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yeah, how's sprinting to the right for thirty years treating you?

Oh, right. You're all rich and don't give a shit about the base.

chronoscope.bsky.social•45 days ago

Clearly it wasn't working. US is still crazy enough to vote for Donald Trump.

24read-sew.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why am I not surprised?

mrrapp.bsky.social•45 days ago

"hey look we are going to keep complaining about all the horrible shit trump is doing and then whine and stand on steps of the capitol"

The time for decorum and friendship with the GOP is far gone. Stop playing nice and get some more feral gen z's on the case, for fucks sake

WHEN are you going to set the agenda for 2028? While your routine "Orange Man Bad" is important, this does not set us up in ANY position to win the mid-terms or 2028!

DEMOCRATS NEED TO UNITE BEHIND #FIGHTTHEOLIGARCHY.

If you have to DEFEAT #Trump, you NEED AN AGENDA and you need it NOW!!!!

jrxna.com•45 days ago

Stop whining about Trump and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

If the US economy collapses, and poverty spikes, and young children starve, and people lose their homes and jobs, the @democrats.org are just as responsible for this mess as the moronic idiot #Trump.

Unite behind #FightTheOligarchy NOW!!!

"Change doesn't come from Washington. It comes TO Washington."

You have a right to call any senator not just your own.

There are 53 Republican Senators. We only need 4 to flip to stop this.

Call 10 of them every day.
