Democratic leaders:
I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.
Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

All kidding aside, the GOP should be embarrassed at how they let the orange turd and Musk run amok. And fuck Vance. And the Dems need to grow a pair and steamroll these assholes. Not easy, I get it.

Take charge
Why this isn't the usual process in the USA eludes me, we always have that here in the UK.

Every time the other side shoves some new bullshit down our throats (which is literally every single day,) The Dem leadership needs to be countering it just as hard & tenaciously on social media.
Or complaining they aren't doing enough?
No one will listen if they address everything reactively. Focusing is better.
There are some who are outspoken by nature and they are speaking out.
I am supporting them. And doing what I can, too.
And I don't see why dems shouldnt be scrutinized. Don't they also take funds from donors and companies
Damn straight they better be doing stuff
Regardless the dnc overall is a huge sack of shit that badly needs a shakeup. Its just not OK to lose so goddamned always
Meanwhile we have Crockett, AOC, Schatz, Raskin, others spitting fire.

They have more power than just the vote. Did we elect them to office to figure out their strategies for them?
Not trying to be rude, genuinely don't know what you're referring to and very curious.
Actions speak louder than words! We need a solution not continue talking about the problem!
ONE DAKOTA!
One state, one people, just three electoral votes.
Fix the tragic schism of 1889!
Our mistake is we're not audacious and unreasonable enough, even as a negotiation strategy.
May I also suggest: Wydaho.
This is the pattern that we keep falling into.
The R's break everything, then the D's clean things up while the R's throw things at them and complain about how long it's taking.
I agree
I also think it would make sense to create a “shadow government” with clear leadership, press conferences, focused legislative priorities, and smart messaging that *leads* instead of responding.
We need to DRIVE the national conversation.
But we are begging them to fight.
It’s easy to say “something, anything”. But it’s more difficult to determine the right thing to do
Republicans: *fucks everything up*
Democrats: hey stop that!
Media: why are Democrats such hypocrites?
The approach they've taken for WAYYYY too long. Assume the other guys have morals. Ethics. Principles.
NO. They have none. You can't appeal to their better senses, because they have none. They only recognize force. So start with force!!
Soon you guys will strap on suicide vests, because you're in a death cult.
*Looks through History book*
Good News! All real Liberations were considered Insurrections by the losers so if you don't loose it's Liberating 🤣
As a Canadian all I can say is we will help you get back up after
Go ahead and help the Republicans and see what happens to your fundraising
It's going to crash
Don't think so?
Check with CEO of Target and see how things are going there.
Money talks, and sometimes, it screams as it leaves
Show us a fight. Treat the Republicans as they deserve to be treated: as a clear and present danger.
Meanwhile, the orgs actually suing and organizing are getting my donations.
I want @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov to show that they're going to be an opposition party, and fight for Americans, and not roll over for the Republicans
Until they do, I'm not donating a dime

THIS IS WAR. START ACTING LIKE IT.
Drop the gloves
Why did they bother running for office?
It's a get over job.
Both sides use political propaganda, they just change the subjects.
1. We supply the new commodity, data.
2. We have full access to the mass communication source for the first time in history.
3. Everyone hates Elon
4. Trump approval ratings have tanked.
Go over there and get #maga back. Bring back our citizens.
We need fresh ethical blood in the party... actually, we also need a genuine multi-party political system, vs. this nonsensical 3rd-World-like büllßh*t duopoly (the Republicrats). 🤔😐
Another possible scenario, admittedly a Red's wet dream, no deal is ever reached and the provisional government becomes the de-facto government. It's why I mentioned a time limit.
That's why democrats remain silent and accomplice...!
😡
The myth of Democratic passivity is the 2025 version of "genocide Joe." Bullshit designed to help Trump.
Public opinion has to move vs Trump. I’m not convinced that D rhetoric, perceived as partisan, makes that happen faster than evolving facts on the ground.
Check out Sen Young’s speech on DOGE follies. This is not sustainable. Major interests are impacted by mindless cuts. Planes are crashing! https://youtu.be/g2ptQFOi9Pg?si=oQizTceZefO8-r7R
Turning to today , we are now looking at major cuts to Medicaid and Medicare and it doesn’t matter how much the Dems decry this, the Repubz will simply vote for these cuts and then it will pass due to house majority, right?!
This was NOT an ordinary election by any means.
The oligarch/fasist writing was clearly on the wall (& in Project2025) during the DECIDING PROCESS before the election but so many either sat it out or got hung up on lies, misinformation or just plain ignorance.
Sadly, the only path I see is that we are all going to be punching something very soon.
Just not your brand of it.

Do the job that #Arizona hired you to do!!!!!
You're both #veterans. Fight for Us!!!!!
Fight for All of #America
DO something! TALK IS CHEAP! Remember this phrase? #WhenWeFightWeWin?
WHEN are you going to actually #FIGHT?
Wasn't the fact that the thing which is AGAIN defiling our #OvalOffice declared itself #king enough?
Do your job!

I honestly don't know what it will take to get them to prioritize "getting shit done" over "appearing senatorial in the eyes of the mainstream media".

co-conspirators in this horror show.
Everyone snaps, eventually.
Heads roll.
Without rhyme nor reason. Without any desire to see reason.
If there is ever another election, Dems are gonna lose unless they step it up 😥
