What happened to congressman John Lewis' good trouble? See that's what happens when democrats coopt radicalism when they're actually not about the business. They had good trouble right in front of them in Al Green. They said, we're good lying down for Trump going by the playbook he tramples on. - ThreadSky

Yup. Al Green stood up and spoke truth to corrupt, coopted power.

The playbook is bullshit. It has been ripped to shreds.

That was fucking disgraceful. This is why we need a new opposition party. Progressive, pro-democracy, fight in them. Enough is enough.

I wanted to see a reverse Preston Brooks-on-Charles Sumner event last night (this time, the good guy would have the cane).

I can only surmise that there is something bigger going on. With all of the examples of the civil rights movement and protests, righteous indignation, etc. Democrats could be leading demonstrations and protests. Yet, there is this inappropriate dignity that they display.

This is what I hope. That there is a plan in the works that requires silence, a plan to remove the fascist regime.

ladyaranea.bsky.social•3 days ago

The only kind of plan like that which would work would be an assassination or a coup.

lilithtpm.bsky.social•3 days ago

The coup already happened.

ladyaranea.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, but taking it back would mean another.

That was an election. Dems lost because their leaders and messaging are shit.

craigforth.bsky.social•3 days ago

they invited conservatives into their party 30 years ago, and now the party is full of people who worship order over justice

Little late, no? Why didn't they walk out with him, is my question.

woid.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hopefully, next time they will.

sffcorgi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hopefully, there won't be a next time (not exactly the same).

The playbook he wipes his ass with....

So true!!

Democratic leadership does not care about the people, just that their seats are safe. They have no intention of doing anything except take the “high road”. Clowns.

Most of them work for their rich donors, not the voters
