That cliche of 'instead of being part of the problem, be the solution' is at least one thing all Senate Democrats should hear. If they don't then they let Rand Paul- of all the goofy GOP weirdos- be alone in opposing the CR budget bill.
They can't let Rand Paul show them up.

We can also talk about how his own party is terrified by him for no good reason.

15112024.bsky.social•16 days ago

do not want to be an downer, but it says only 48% dislike his foregin policy,even if probably a lot of people did not comment because they did not want to be targeted by his followers

nberlat.bsky.social•16 days ago

it's 48 to 37! that's 11 points underwater. that's dismal. (lots of people have no opinion, as you'd expect; people don't pay that much attention to FP.)

who are the numnuts that support this bs?
is it really true that 37% of americans like fascism in america??

icassassin.bsky.social•16 days ago

Legit think the Dems keep imagining they are having a fight with the mythical Trump figure right-wing media has portrayed, and not the pathetic weak-willed insecure dumbass Trump that exists and acts in actual goddamn reality.

They want to win their next election. Trump has them by their "cojones".

Canada here. Just stand up to him. It works. And don’t ever stop. That clown could announce eleventy-billion% tariffs and we’ll just grind it out. We’re showing you it works. Just do it.

lakers-lover.bsky.social•16 days ago

Democrats: this is a dangerous post what would Dick Cheney think of this

dmslovell.bsky.social•16 days ago

It’s going to be imperfect. That’s okay. Everyone is doing what they think is right. The thread that weaves through it all is dissent. Give some allowance, but help amplify their voice. Help them find it. Yes and, and not yes but. Ever forward.

lakers-lover.bsky.social•16 days ago

I think a lot of our elected officials are doing whatever gets them re-elected and keeps that corporate moolah coming in hand over fist, voters be damned

brandogarcia.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not for nothing, a lot of us Americans are boycotting every American product except the essentials. Time to burn this economy down until the plutocrats take him out.

elmjoe17.bsky.social•16 days ago

Border America here, love you guys! Great neighbor, so sorry for our idiot.

dmslovell.bsky.social•16 days ago

For us there’s no neighbour without “u”. And yes, I will celebrate that cleverness. 🙃

danarchylives.bsky.social•15 days ago

We can't because the only people in this country with enough money to survive any kind of organized opposition strategy are older white liberals, and they aren't even REMOTELY interested and will likely end up siding with Trump via the "Gavin Newsom" wing that he's obviously creating.

danarchylives.bsky.social•15 days ago

There is sadly only one way out of this now. Hope yall are ready to come down and pay us a visit cause we will need your help soon.

adbenedict.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hey, all of the fundraising texts I'm getting are super anti-trump. Because all the dems know how to do is fundraise.

demodisping.bsky.social•16 days ago

Is there such a thing as a national spot vote of confidence in the US President?

misctakes.com•16 days ago

I assume some of them are reading it as "our strategy is working, let him keep self destructing"

Needless to say this is obviously false, and pathetic

mojonz.bsky.social•16 days ago

And Musk, his co-president, is even less popular!

What about the norms, sir!?

splatterthought.bsky.social•16 days ago

Current conditions:
Falling economy from a previous stable, recovery state w/positive trajectory
Complete chaos
GOP on their heels locally
Public attention at its peak
Dissatisfaction growing amongst swing voters
Musk, DOGE, Trump lowest approval

Dems missing their greatest messaging opportunity..

Ritchie torres

nberlat.bsky.social•16 days ago

Torres is in the house, and voted against the CR.

Gillibrand, Schumer, Durbin, probably others in the senate are rushing to cave.

starxpower.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yeah you're right I just hate torres in general

sabrinaalfin.bsky.social•16 days ago

Right?? It’s the least likely thing to spark blowback. They’re getting more blowback with this bi-partisanship charade.

mfilak5.bsky.social•16 days ago

Looking at you Fetterman. Betrayal at its finest for all of us who gave money to your campaign based on your progressive platform. FU

badstatistics.bsky.social•16 days ago

His approval overall is 20%+ higher than congressional Democrats pretty much across the board.

So...let's all try to function in objective reality at least. In no way are US voters calling out for Trump to be stopped. At all.

Democrats have to continue making the case.

popeofchilitown.bsky.social•16 days ago

A huge part of congressional dems’ low approval is that they’re doing poorly among Democratic voters, who are sick of seeing them roll over for Trump.

samjx.bsky.social•16 days ago

37% approve?!?!
Get the F out!

They just don't get it, and never seem to. Only Pelosi did and still it took her time.

Stop feeling for Republicans ! Theyre not helping the country when they support a tyrant. yes to Government shutdown !

johnbrownbread.bsky.social•16 days ago

The Democrats right now are reminiscent of Civil WarUnion General McClellan demanding more troops before he struck at Richmond, while his forces were already 5 times as large. He could have won. He took so long, he was routed by Confederate forces. The war lasted 4 more years.

adamdoesit.bsky.social•16 days ago

Apt comparison. Lincoln called what afflicted McClellan "the slows."

lemurdreamer87.bsky.social•16 days ago

And then McClellan ran for president against Lincoln on a platform of basically surrendering to the South. So yeah, even more appropriate.

gluttonyofkhan.bsky.social•16 days ago

Except that the current "army" is objectively smaller. This would be an appropriate comparison if the FDR and LBJ supermajorities were failing to act.

sharkman1963.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m so tired of people relying on polls. What polls actually tell us is that our electorate is incredibly uninformed //misinformed or just don’t care.

nberlat.bsky.social•16 days ago

currently polls strongly suggest that people are increasingly disillusioned with trump.

catharsis23.bsky.social•16 days ago

It's very disorienting

haywoodfloyd.bsky.social•16 days ago

And his agenda. The Democrats should make sure that they don't have their fingerprints on it in any way shape or form.

(An evil Senate majority leader once said that about Obama's agenda and won a few Senate majorities as a result.)

liberalwhiteguy.bsky.social•16 days ago

YES, a layup with nobody over half court to even make you think!!!!!!!!!!!!

iplayguitarbad.bsky.social•16 days ago

I imagine people who rise to the highest levels in politics tell themselves "I would LOVE to be a world-historic leader, able to make the decisions we read about in the history books." Then they find themselves here and now and they're the biggest losers in the world.

gluttonyofkhan.bsky.social•16 days ago

Powers that be have to accept some responsibility for not replacing the cowards who we already knew were problematic. They forced Biden out just for being old, so we know it can be done.
