these fuckers aren't getting a dime from me ever again. honestly. all my money is going to mutual aid, abortion funds, etc. This is cowardice.

Craven supplication.

Mr. Green stood up to the fascists. That was the door opening. The fact that NOBODY followed him out fills me with shame and anger.

I’m all out of donation dollars this week, ActBlue. Don’t call me, I’ll call you.

(Except Mr. Green. I’ll stand for him)

Individually Ds can suck, but as an organization they’re decent. We need to up the primary game to get rid of the worst offenders, but cutting D support only helps Trump

Do they think that because performative shit works for MAGAs it will work for us? It does not work. They have only succeeded in making me much angrier.

ericafails.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I mean, performative shit would have worked- if they all stood the fuck up with him that would have ruled. But this? What even is this???

It’s desperate cowardice, seeking assurance they will be eaten last.

scottrod.bsky.social•7 hours ago

We're from the UK and had never heard of Al Green. We have now, found him on Bluesky and followed him. No surprise to us here that the politicians standing up and standing strong are Black.

petpluto.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Jim Hines is in the safest district in CT and he’s one of the 10 Dems who voted to censure Rep. Green.

What’s even the point of electing Dems in seats with a +13 point advantage if they’re not going to use their safe positions to take stands?!

Fuck the Democratic Party. They’re beyond spineless.

He’s the only Democrat who actually DID something. The rest sat there, in performative pink, with their little paddle signs like they were at a Christie’s auction.

Watch them ask for donations soon too! Al is the only one with balls.

You’re in the Progressive Party…not the Democrat Party. Moderate Democrats voted for Trump.

The sooner progressives realize this, the more focused the agenda will be.

grachellest.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Unfortunately, independents are disenfranchised and cannot vote in primaries in some states. Just a consideration before you make the switch.

Good point but we need to do something. Dems are doing NOTHING (except Crockett and Greene).

Unbelievable cowardice from the whole Dem Party. Unbelievable.

I wrote to my representatives in Congress yesterday and told them to forget about any future donations to them or the DNC until they grew a pair.

They view fascism as a fundraising opportunity. Any proper protest might get in the way of their centrist, spineless greed.

I dropped the Dem party years ago and registered as an independent because of things like this.

Neither party deserves loyalty as neither party offers it in return.

Yeah I got to that point a few years ago but I think more of us need to. I give money to Working Families Party and to abortion funds.

Imagine if every single Democrat had walked out. Or made security throw them out.

Bunch of cowards.

danifroom.bsky.social•7 hours ago

For a brief second after Al Green stood up, I thought he was just going to be the first. It'll be the last time I put an ounce of hope in the Democrats.

mariavictoria.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Exactly. I can’t believe any of them stayed once that happened. But this vote!? Just infuriating.

mustelidmaven.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I was hoping that they would follow Rep Green, each taking on a point, thereby stopping it every few minutes. Or all become very vocal at once, therefore difficult for the Sgt to bounce ppl out … but no. 😒

froebull.bsky.social•7 hours ago

That’s exactly what should have went down. Even if not planned, after seeing Green stand up and get removed, wait 30 seconds or a minute, then another Dem stands up to be tossed out; repeat until out of people with spines.

Green deserves praise, not censure. We are in the upside down.

100% agree,really shocked to be honest that one Dem stood up.. ONE and was black. The POC across America will have to be the ones that bring America back… theres a lot if vocal white Americans but just a few Dems raising their heads on social media like Sen Warren but most are POC.Rainbow warrors

Friends have told me I reflect too much on people’s “reasons why” and I gotta just look at what they do, but…

What is the Dem worldview that makes this okay?

I have seen college sophomores - with financial aid packages threatened and justified fears of police and ICE retaliation - do all they can to bend the damn arc toward justice…

Meanwhile these Dems add insult to our friggin Constitutional injury?!

Every week brings another gut punch. Last week, it was Trump and Vance ambushing the President of an ally on live TV, this week it was Democrats attacking a Black man who called out one of Trump's lies. What the Hell were they thinking?

420attychicago.bsky.social•2 hours ago

They can all fuck right off with their performative allyship. We need to be in GOP faces, fucking up literally everything. Voting NO on all republican legislation, actively disrupting every joint session or speech--making those guys drag us all out in plain view. Play ping pong on ur own time.
