But also, we promise to hold republicans to the same standards and pressure them. Cause it’s them, they’re the problem.

notreallyhereshhhh.bsky.social•9 days ago

Agreed! So let's see the Dems standing on that too.

tonionei.bsky.social•9 days ago

What the Dems in office don't understand is, if we even get another free and fair election, anyone who's not taking direct action at this point is in for a hell of a primary. Your base is watching you flounder and we are so profoundly over it. Time to fight like you have everything to lose...

I always point out the S. Korean politicians who scaled walls and grabbed guns to enter their National Assembly to vote for their democracy. Some people love to say this ain't how it works here. It's obvious since the politicians here care more about their careers while thousands lost their jobs.

notreallyhereshhhh.bsky.social•9 days ago

This. Jeffries insists we just need to feel heard but in making such a statement he demonstrates HE IS NOT LISTENING. We don't want any more "here's what they're doing." Don't say you get our pain. We want a decisive and cohesive action plan with ALL existing options and EVERY member.

@kenmartin.bsky.social suuuuuuuucks

kevinao.bsky.social•9 days ago

And this goes double for Governors and state governments, which have way more power for real action than Dems in Congress, but don’t seem to be doing anything except AGs filing lawsuits.

guardwolfy.bsky.social•9 days ago

I applaud the Dems for maintaining their morals for so long, but where has that gotten us? You are not even considered the “party of morals” anyways.
Quit going high. You’re literally a quarter century behind at this point!

what about Not showing up March 4? Having an alternative event for all who are in opposition to current administration

aczub.bsky.social•9 days ago

They also need to be out there, directly addressing the American people through the camera, telling everyone what they can do. Tell them to call their reps. Tell them to protest. Tell them to stand up for the country. We really don’t care they wrote a letter that we know the R’s won’t read.

aczub.bsky.social•9 days ago

There is too much“I don’t want to think about it” sentiment & people need the kick in the pants from their representatives. They need to no, in no uncertain terms, that this is dire. And they need to hear it all day, every day.

I am AltFWS. Nice to meet you.

OK, we have established that you're a bot... good bye!

altfws.bsky.social•9 days ago

I honestly did t know people would think I could be a bot. I don’t know whether to be flattered or offended. 😁

jmortj5.bsky.social•9 days ago

We need you to talk to your repugnant counterparts and get them to open their damned eye. They need to pull their heads out of each others asses and actually fight FOR our damned (At this point we are damned) country, and not for outside forces actually running it.

lorihamilton.bsky.social•9 days ago

At least have Rallies or Town Halls. Wtaf.

domino2017.bsky.social•9 days ago

Lots of them are holding town halls (a lot by phone as they are all still in Washington). Rachel Maddow had a breakdown last night and the numbers of people who are showing up (in the thousands).

turbo-team.bsky.social•9 days ago

I attended one on Tuesday and we had over 10k people on the call.

layeredsky.bsky.social•8 days ago

Democrats be brave enough to use those Korean Resistance Tactics. We watched d politicians from South Korea literally scale walls in order to stop a fascist coup, this was a coup! The high road is accomplishing nothing & it's counter productive w/ felon & his crooks. Gotta play his game against him.

tangle24.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well said

maudegertrude.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes! Explain why it’s illegal and consequences. Be visible and loud. Lead by example. Become the news cycle.
Most dems understand but non-politically active citizens do not. If a dem admin took over the gov and usurped congressional power, the GOP would be messaging 24/7, making the crisis known.

ndmoxie.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes. FIGHT smart. FIGHT hard. FIGHT nonstop. Only then can we hope to catch up & maybe win. FIGHT. @kenmartin.bsky.social

kakashisenseisr.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, @kenmartin.bsky.social, we want actions with outcomes. We don't want performative BS in front of a camera. Organize, strategize, and implement an action plan. There are millions waiting for leadership in a resistance movement.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is apparently annoyed with those of us who want to see the Dems NOT vote for any of his nominees. Annoyed that there's not gonna be any more $$ until we see more than ridiculous tweets. Annoyed that we want them to do the fucking job we elected them to do. 🖕🖕🖕

Hey Democratic leaders: "Actions speak louder than words." Where are yours?

If the Dems don't rise up, We The People will. Just saying

Amen 🙏

sherylcitygirl.bsky.social•9 days ago

Actually think they need to get in front of the cameras constantly and on a regular basis - make a deal with a network. Counter messaging is crucial especially since they are not in the majority. Our best chance is the House and we need to make that happen. Bully pulpit is imperative.

slipperlobster.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think @kenmartin.bsky.social and the DNC _are_ working. They just aren't working for us, the people.

Dems used to be for working-class. Now they are just blue-tinged "donor-class focused"

We need a new party for the working class.
