I agree! They should have all filed out! Shout out at the lies!

courtneybrown.bsky.social•32 days ago

I AGREE!

gentlewomanfarmer.bsky.social•31 days ago

The ones who are there need to go. Including my own.

roadsister.bsky.social•31 days ago

We love Al Green

millerji625.bsky.social•32 days ago

I agree. That would have been a good chance for them to walk out on principle.

pjeanne97.bsky.social•32 days ago

Would’ve been perfect

need way more of this energy https://youtu.be/25AUCNZKEnY

They should have stood up with Al Green in solidarity and yelled on their way out with him.

uneasywriter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Well they didn’t.

drwhofan1.bsky.social•31 days ago

Sadly, no.

@democrats.org and error are synonymous

They all should’ve left with him or done the same thing one by one

owlofthenorth.bsky.social•32 days ago

One should get ejected every minute. It's the only thing people would remember and would melt Trump's 3 brain cells.

steveeboy.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yep

lvkopple.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exactly. Decorum is gone! Stand up and walk out

agatakobe.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s baffling that they can’t use any of the obvious opportunities here. Trump is leaving the goal wide open and they’re just watching, gormless.

jcmedia65.bsky.social•32 days ago

To just sit there...yes.
They need to start embarrassing him and walking out 1x1.
Call him a felon...a sex offender...puttin's puppet..something.

Now he appears stronger, and the dems look beaten down.

Dems are the rightwing neoliberal establishment. Obviously they don't have a clue of how to stand up against fascists. We need either a hostile takeover or a completely new opposition party. This lot sucks.

jovg-1955.bsky.social•31 days ago

And they should have all exited in mass!

anniecurtains.bsky.social•31 days ago

True.

kenbrooke.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’ve seen better ideas and coordination at a last minute company bbq. I can see how they blew the $2B

zalester.bsky.social•32 days ago

Is it wrong to think any one of them could've brought a gun and ended this madness today? The literal only downside I can think of is it would make it harder to kill Vance when he takes office.

leegottesman.bsky.social•31 days ago

They should all have gotten up and walked out.

ricyrick87.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes...but the shit storm is going to keep rolling, their responses to bigger things will matter more to me than this, yes it's a nice gesture to have seen them all walk out, but ppl will forget it. We got 4 years. Buckle up and conserve that rage for better moments of constructive criticism (imo)

geramisepehr.bsky.social•32 days ago

What they should have done is walk out in solidarity

nojustdan.bsky.social•31 days ago

Correct. The media is oblivious to the obvious symbolism of bouncing a 78 year old black congressman after bragging about reinstating free speech.

mattbdev.bsky.social•32 days ago

I don't know why they aren't just walking out in protest. It would frustrate Trump even more than them not clapping.

infinitelyloopy.bsky.social•32 days ago

That is the best summation of how I felt so thank you.

Should never have gone and they had a window to walk out en masse w/Green but missed it for…ping pong paddles?!?!

onemoney.bsky.social•32 days ago

It is an expression of pure weakness, docility, and submission. We have to do better. Almost everyone who attended deserves a primary opponent, at minimum. Those who left made a mistake by going at all. But at least they left. No one should stand by and be bullied.
