"... many of us will be ready for a disrupter of our own—a persuasive, impassioned disrupter for the common good."

It needs to be established within the Democratic Party and the Left as a whole what that "common good" actually is

Did he deliver, though?

kdrsisu.bsky.social•114 days ago

‘Biden promised and delivered a return to norms’.
Please! Give me a freaking break. What is this supposed to mean? Biden failed in Ukraine, the border, Afghanistan, going after Trump… Biden tricked me in believing he was fit and up to the job for another run.
Then the debate.
Disastrous Betrayal

Drugs didn’t scramble my brain, tRump/Musk/Project2025 did. My hope is their conceit. No longer conniving in the darkness, they brag openly about lying and manipulating platforms…

julityme.bsky.social•114 days ago

Billionaires telling us it will hurt, sure, trust us? Those who plugged their nose/ears to vote this in will regret it. Meanwhile, we need to put our heads together to stop this. Bluesky is a good start.

Trump promises a return to Kleptocracy….and he will most certainly deliver.

The bulwark is full of those rich people, they don't even click with any of us. They talk strange.

Biden won’t do shit. He’s a failure.

Instead bend over rover politics

grumpyoldprop.bsky.social•114 days ago

They’re great at them. They use them against the left constantly.

As we strategize, we should be clear,-eyed about what happened and where we actually are, despite the "evenly divided" and "mandate" falsehoods.

daviddotcalm.bsky.social•114 days ago

I agree with the sentiment but by 2028 the game will already be so rigged it won’t matter who runs. Nothing changes in this country unless the very rich allow it. Our only hope is to find ways to pinch their assets to the point they force regime change.

sweetooth1.bsky.social•114 days ago

Thank you President Biden & France for negotiation & civility. For all you do & try to do, there's always those who only see problems to detract from your successes! Trump et al ARE THE problems NOW for America & the world -not negotiators, but bullies drunk w/power. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cnvjl42g9m1t

thinkingitover.bsky.social•114 days ago

Republicans have shown Democrats how to get what they want. Now they need to implement those lessons and forget about being the party of nice.

whiskeyecho.bsky.social•114 days ago

Most platforms won't let me say what I want to say. We need much stronger actions. For one every last MAGA should be arrested and detained and deported like they want to do to others.

aarwood46.bsky.social•114 days ago

Merrick Garland was the worst mistake any president has ever made.

asclepiasoh.bsky.social•114 days ago

Perhaps your take is a bit hyperbolic. I am very disappointed with him too. He seemed to be frightened of right-wing accusations of partisanship. His temperament is that of a judge, not "the nation's top cop." He should have been confirmed when nominated to SCOTUS. Fuck Mitch McConnell.

I reached out to my congressman. I told him he's not speaking out loud enough. He's too nice of a guy to be a wartime representative.

This wouldn't be necessary if the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the DOJ had simply done their jobs with integrity.

I look at the electorate who just voted for a convicted felon, serial sex abuser, con artist and hate monger and I’m reading posts and articles from people that somehow think we can pull out of this. I’m not seeing it.

gabrielrpaavola1.bsky.social•114 days ago

Respectfully, if she believes we need more Dems like Biden then she has missed the point of why Kamala lost. At this point the only difference in policy between Dems and GOP is abortion. Dems have no credibility when it comes to genocide or climate change. So no, getting mad won't change anything.

Blue states and Dem party do shadow cabinet idea. Plans to move on as the grown ups in the room. The 5 Intolerable Acts of our time are long complete. Declaration of Independence trumps the Constitution, and also, already heading for crisis as an insurrectionist is ineligible as President.

athenanike71.bsky.social•114 days ago

This lies squarely at McConnell’s and the abominable SCOTUS’ feet.

Now it’s time to go back to chaos, hate and division. Every day filled with anxiety and exhaustion. That’s what Trump is all about, only this time will be worse.
Thanks to the main stream media we are now facing authoritarian rule.

Putin and his KGB gang sowed discord and hatred between parties and throughout the United States and now they are trying to sow discord within the Democratic Party.

BIDEN PROMISED AND DELIVERED?! What a steaming pile of horse manure. Omg. Poverty is higher than when he took office, including child poverty rising 137% after he bragged about halving it.

railchampion.bsky.social•114 days ago

Mehdi, I can’t thank you enough for recognizing the important journalism being written now with Politico, Bulwark and others. It appears that the “fiery communicator” is the person I have been pointing to and that is Gavin Newsom. First we must develop a winning message for the midterms in 2026!

jpmuir.bsky.social•114 days ago

Maybe swing voters will be ripe for a return swing left in 2028.
The right candidate will bridge coalitions on the left, show proven skills at leading reform, weed criminals from government at all levels. We need a liberal Alpha human who can capture the nation's psyche; fill it with sanity & hope

missrevo.bsky.social•113 days ago

Given how much Republicans have enjoyed passing laws to restrict voting, I have a proposition. Let’s make voting based on taking a civics test, which you have to pass to earn your voting card. That will do the trick.

You have to pass a test to get a drivers license. Just sayin’ Training

sweetjimmy72.bsky.social•114 days ago

Part of the problem, as I see it, is the US has all these "norms" and nobody was prepared for an asshole who ignores those norms. There are no actual hard and fast rules just norms that get you a presidents son in law fellating a Saudi prince.

therealjoeo.bsky.social•114 days ago

And understand that being mean and getting our hands dirty might be required.

Unethical, lying ruthless people don’t deserve nice words. They deserve the truth - regardless of how brutal it might be.

Make sure each and every house and senate member that had a hand in January 6 is soundly defeated. And develop a true network of progressive news that smashes the right wing echo chamber

The Democrats need to start playing hardball. Why the apathy, where is the leadership?

And we're going to get little help from the media with messaging about Trump's danger to democracy and our lives. They also seem strangely apathetic (or inexcusably fearful.)

bibliobomb.bsky.social•113 days ago

The leadership is all geriatric and too comfortable.
