If Kamala Harris or any other Dem wants to run for POTUS in 2028, they better be out there fight with us. No more paid speaking gigs, where you speak out, you hold town halls like @governorwalz.mn.gov is doing. You FIGHT. PISSED me off she didn't do one recount.
They did what James Carville told them to do and play Opossum, and Americans don't play that no more. Dems need to throw out the damn play book, GOP did years ago. Fight fire with fire
This was a moment, not a movement. It takes movements to put soul and heart into parties. The modern Democratic Party was built by the great democratic movements of the last century.
But it’s just been long past time.
They won’t Charlotte. I’ve lost all hope in them. The people give me hope but the leadership does not. Schumer is clinging to power just like McConnell was.
Perhaps not Schumer for reasons that perhaps I can understand but mostly can’t get behind. But many in the democratic party are trying. Murphy, booker, ossoff, warnock, duckworth, schatz, warren…
The Dem leadership needs to get in the fight or step aside. It can't be lefy to a small vocal group of Congress members Sanders, Warren, Murphy, Booker, Ocasio-Cortez, Crockett, and Green openly defy this regime.
TO EVERY DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS: We need you more than ever to fight the fight EVERY DAY. BECAUSE TRUMP IS GETTING BOLDER AND BOLDER EVERY DAY!! He has to be stopped or this Country will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!!
"stop Elon and Donald from fucking things up" seems to be broadly popular and an easy thing to mobilize around. if Dems don't do it, someone will harness that energy
Hopefully they’ll up their game drastically, but don’t count on it. Too many are weak (and/or down with corporate greed) AF. It’s going to be up to us in the end,
imo.
But but but, they’re having nice little meetings with all the nice little organizations to discuss needs that they’re not going to actually fight for but they at least have something to post on social media.
If they can’t fight, then step down, get out of our way, let us show you how it’s done. 😡
The Dems need to take the HANDS OFF slogan and run with it. Scream it out every day. End every speech with HANDS OFF. Make that the MAGA war cry every day all day.
There is a lot of material to go on but Democrats have to work on getting their message to the people on how they actually can fix Trump's shit. Don't just point out all the shit. Show how you can fix it. We are sick of empty promises.
The Democrats have been working hard. When Trump released project 2025. Their papers were filed every time he played a card. They had theirs ready. They’ve been busy in the court thank you Democrats.
It would be a good idea for the Musk and side kick Trump Vance regime to step down and let educated and responsible people that KNOW how to run a government put back in charge!
And time to shed the old “go along to get along wing”. We’re fighting for our constitution, our freedom of thought and speech, our rights to the benefits of our taxes for the common good ( not as welfare for the most wealthy), and the health of our planet and its inhabitants. We need fight.
Not being cynical but with no majority what can they do. Obstruct ? But how ? I just feel like anything at this point is really just performative until the midterms.
They stop voting yes on any of the legislation and appointments. They’re not going to prevent anything being approved, but they also won’t be helping MAGA get what they want.
But even if they completely oppose the republicans can pass along party lines. I hear u. I’m still beyond appalled at Fetterman for Bondi and others but even if he voted no. She’d still have gotten through.
I voted for him, but supporting Bondi and some of the other nominations, when they were not qualified and had proven to be nothing more than sycophants, is infuriating.
It doesn’t matter if the person gets through. Like you said, it’s a given right now. But once D’s vote yes, they’re capitulating. It also gives the opposition the ability to say “See, the Democrats agree with us!”
They need to start being Winston Churchill and stop being Neville Chamberlin.
I dunno. That’s good but not enough. I’d prefer to see more support for things like the rallies that Bernie and AOC were doing. But I don’t think that’s enough either. It’s just a really really scary time.
Not opening offices and campaigning in rural areas has definitely cost the Dems. They could make offices into 3rd spaces to bring people in. It would make a world of difference if every seat was campaigned for.
I think they need to learn: Fight doesn’t mean just talking. We need an agenda on economic security, national security, anti-corruption, healthcare and more. We need a project 2028.
Can't say this loud enough. Senator Booker showed us it's okay to fight, and 5 million of us told him we heard it. Now's time to Lead - go stop that orange idiot.
This is why Schumer needs to step down as minority leader. We want action, he wants book deals. The DNC won't see a dime until he steps down. Are you listening Chuck? Cory Booker as minority leader!

Not exactly. In failing to respond to the moment, Dem leaders have made themselves co-conspirators in the undoing of our democracy. At the least this is a call for the rank and file to rise up and oust the current congressional leadership. But many of us are demanding something else... not Democrat.
I have come to the conclusion democratic leadership is functioning exactly the way they want to function.
The existing leadership isn't clueless. They are ok with what is happening.
Literally, the only wrong thing dems could do is be quiet, and that is what the leadership is doing.
I still firmly believe that they even had the peoples' mandate on election day. Trump, Musk, MAGA, and Russia stole the election just like ¾ of them did in 2016. And the Dems let it slide.

But it’s just been long past time.
Democrats had to be dragged to the right side of history.
Time for something new that isnt born of cowards
@schumer.senate.gov get out of the way.
imo.
💯
And the only Dem who can bring back 92% of Black women is Kamala.
Lots of work to do.
If they can’t fight, then step down, get out of our way, let us show you how it’s done. 😡
@chuckschumer.com
Get loud and keep up
Get on it.
There are a fucking boatload of us, as you can see.
WE THE PEOPLE ARE F-ING PISSED!
They need to start being Winston Churchill and stop being Neville Chamberlin.
2027....
prequel though!
Don't be nice - be effective!
