This is why we yell at Dems. They have few levers of power at this point and they don’t even use all of them.

The Senate just voted 67-32 to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, which means a lot of Dems voted for her. During a fucking constitutional crisis.

Because everyone is concerned with their self interest we also will not be able to clean house and get real representation elected. We need to primary them, get people who will vote for term limits and the good of the country, not just their district.

Labor seems to think that she’s as good as they’re going to get, and it would be worse from there, so that explains a lot of this. Teamsters, in particular, would have leaned on Dems.

jnineful.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I’m beyond disappointed in most of the #Democrats. We need representatives who will strategize and fight like Republicans. McConnell hates/d Trump and put him in office 2x. #fightforus

ccourse223.bsky.social•1 day ago

Start identifying candidates in their district to primary them, start now. There’s nothing that says we have to stick with this representation.

In 2024 I sure as hell didn't want the democrats or Republicans to win the presidency. The American NSDAP. In the ballot box the people chose their favorite white supremacist. Then screamed at communists socialists. For not voting for the nazi or the fascist. Libs.

sablue52.bsky.social•1 day ago

What's her job? Kill every last vestige of unionism in this country? You know that under Trump her job won't be to help any workers.

muddypup.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly!! We find Dems supporting this authoritarian even when there is absolutely no understandable public interest for them to do so 🤯 clearly they don’t seem to mind lending a hand towards a fascist state.

kilocharlie237.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Democrats NEED a "Mitch McConnell".
Instead, they bought a SCHUMER and a JEFFRIES. Two models with no engine power.

I think there's another possibility, albeit heinous, to consider. Perhaps some of the Dems may have been physically threatened by the admin as part of their exerting power and control.

If I ever get to vote again, it sure as heck won’t be for any of the Dems currently in office. I’m watching my country fall apart before my eyes (oh but they still want my tax dollars so they can give handouts to billionaires!) and the Dems are complying happily.

big-not-good.bsky.social•1 day ago

The Dems are just as bad as The Repugnance! They're just as bought and paid for as the R's except they can't admit it!

Think, why do they ALWAYS fumble? B/c that's what they're paid to do!

This is why a two party system doesn't work. If the Dem candidate is a dud, the Rep gets the seat. You need a third party to send a message.

Democrats need to stop being enablers to a dictatorship. Grow a spine and a brain and stop this. Hold up everything for the next four years. Delay everything for the next four years.

The problem is all the boomers in power in the Democrats. Their age is a problem. They need to be replaced.

popeofchilitown.bsky.social•1 day ago

In theory? Primaries. But the Democrats show far more tenacity and cunning when defending a conservative incumbent against a progressive primary challenger than they’ve ever shown against the Republicans.

heartgold.xyz•1 day ago

popeofchilitown.bsky.social•1 day ago

They saw what the Tea Party did to the Republicans (forced them to become more responsive to what their base wants, it just happens that what they want is evil) and made it their top priority to make sure nothing like that ever happened to them.

the GOP knows how to stick together on just about anything, consequential or not. Democrats think that bipartisan is a cool thing, when no one who voted for the current orange POTUS cares one bit about the other side. It's time to be like Canada, drop the gloves and fight.
