This is not inspiring at all. It’s a lecture not a call to action.

nothing-new.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is disappointing. How do you pass legislation? Not the fight we’re looking for from you.

sandipaul.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why put our trust in you? Only one person stood up for us - and 10 democrats voted for censure. All 10 should be primaried. Either fight for us or get out of the way

lavandra.bsky.social•5 days ago

Please release your high-paid consultants. We need a quick reaction force, not outdated, glacial analyses and recommendations. Is it passé to say “analysis paralysis?”

saavedra.bsky.social•5 days ago

You can’t fight back until you stop taking donations from blue Elons and other billionaires.

danmcd.bsky.social•5 days ago

Start by walking out of the SOTU mid-delivery.

richardlaya.bsky.social•5 days ago

Been pretty unimpressed and disappointed so far. You need to seize the moment, and quickly.

lzdimperio.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well that’ll be a quick broadcast. Are you going to color coordinate?

claycopper.bsky.social•5 days ago

Motherfuckers squishier than silly putty. Will be about as captivating as two strangers at a bus stop vamping on the weather

booboodru.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fuck both of you

getsob.bsky.social•5 days ago

As leaders of the Democratic Party I expect you and your colleagues to be doing everything in your power to stand against this slide into authoritarianism and as of right now I am seeing very little of that.

getsob.bsky.social•5 days ago

Over the 248 year history of our country, hundreds of thousands of solders have given as Lincoln said “that last full measure of devotion” to preserve our form of democratic government. Yet today, in a few short weeks, all that is being undone.

getsob.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good lord do something!!!!

ginanicolekelly.bsky.social•5 days ago

Can you please tell your people to make some noise tonight instead of color coordinating outfits? This isn’t the 7th grade.

Spineless schills for corporate money. They fight their base harder than they fight the rnc

Does the Call to Action extend to all your Congersmen and Senators, too?
Or is collegiality and observing Valentines Day still more important?

The Dems’ strategy is seriously failing in this moment.

datdemlady.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is just too damn easy, but Ken Martin and the Dems don’t seem to be up to the job.

datdemlady.bsky.social•5 days ago

Where were you Friday when Trump and Vance handed Europe to Putin?How about you do rapid response?
And have you even publicized this crap?!?!
The Republicans are throwing softballs at you and you’re not swinging!Not giving Dems another dine until you fight back! https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3ljl44chd6f2h

alpacaamy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ken, this nat’l update stream is USELESS. We want to see every Democrat fighting back LOUDLY screaming about the injustice of every damn thing Trump and Elon are doing. Dems should have shouted at Trump during this SOTU and gotten escorted out one by one after Rep. Al Green. Show some life, Dems!

thepushfoward.bsky.social•5 days ago

COWARDS VS COURAGE

The DNC has failed us.

emily-hardin.bsky.social•4 days ago

Al Greene was our only ally in that room tonight.

emily-hardin.bsky.social•4 days ago

At this rate of messaging, we won't vote for any democratics in the next election unless it's Al Greene.

codemistress.bsky.social•5 days ago

You know what, Ken, if you and Jeffries were actually doing something, there would be no need to tell us!

You can’t bring a shotgun scatter shot approach or a finger to stop every hole in the dike. You have be laser focused on one or two messages that all in the party can agree on and make that the message every single day.

Better hope your "good billionaires" open their checkbooks because you're not doing anything to convince me to open mine.

img56.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sadly missed this! Post snippets on the various social media. Start a daily media comment on Twitter, bluesky, substack etc.- select 1 rep. or 1 sen per day to bring some idea to thwart the Republicans even if you can’t legislate. Do something concrete, don’t wait.

img56.bsky.social•5 days ago

You guys need to go on the MidasTouch podcast!!!

jenjen1.bsky.social•5 days ago

Start getting a backbone! Every Democrat in the house and Senate should not show up tonight! This isn't normal what Trump is doing! Stand up for the American people for once and stop worrying about you big money doners! You are letting democracy slip away!

bbarretthealth.bsky.social•5 days ago

The time for decorum is over. Don’t care what you have done, what is the vision for what you will do. And it needs to be loud!

dskillzhtown.bsky.social•5 days ago

The reality is many in the country are frustrated, mad and ready to join a resistance. This is such an easy slam dunk for any opposition party.

But you all have been so scared to offend your billionaire donors that you have done nothing.

They need to get the hell out of there, all of them. Instead they wave around stupid ping pong paddles. Get loud, get kicked out. FFS. What is wrong with these weak democrats.

christopherquirk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Lifelong Dem here. It's obvious the Dems would rather keep losing than do what Bernie Sanders has been doing since Day 1.

itisso.bsky.social•4 days ago

Life long Democratic voter here too, and I am ready to jump ship! I would love to see a new BOLD Democratic party that is proposing radical ideas like UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, and a LIVING WAGE! I am tired of the same ol' same ol' from the Democratic party.

erica1933.bsky.social•5 days ago

What is this bullshit about wearing pink at the speech?
Pugilism via pastels.

Not a dime, boys. Not an effing dime.

truthinesssmashing.bsky.social•5 days ago

If all Dems don't walk out when Trump starts to speak tonight, instead if sitting their and listening to his lies and gaslighting, we know you aren't really fighting for us!!!!

tj-in-a-state.bsky.social•5 days ago

Great counter program to the GOP rally at the capital to tonight…by waiting until tomorrow.

Disappointing......not bold, not organized not prescriptive on actions for us the voters

jfj72.bsky.social•4 days ago

27 minutes in and only one lukewarm call to action of 3 votes needed ....actually 4 now.

jfj72.bsky.social•4 days ago

What with comments being turned off for this event?

emilychapelle.bsky.social•4 days ago

Seriously. That’s not it.

capecodpostaah.bsky.social•4 days ago

To be honest, I’m pretty sure we are ALL very disappointed with the Dem inaction up to this point.

truthseeker47musk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you for hosting the National Update Stream for tomorrow. Many people here have suggested what Democrats can do TONIGHT: Instead of attending the tRump Address, all Democrats should host impromptu Town Halls instead. Why waste time to hear the LIES? Connect with their constituents! Thx.

geekygage.bsky.social•5 days ago

Join sir "What leverage do we have?" And me, Mr. "We'll still take money from good billionaires", for our stream - we'll be doubling up on our inaction because we know the pendulum will swing to the left in 2026 and 2028 so we can get into office while doing nothing for the American people

katandhounds.bsky.social•5 days ago

We clearly need some leadership that can actually figure out how to fight this.

hobokenirish.bsky.social•5 days ago

Where is the shadow cabinet??
Where are the town halls with empty chairs of Republicans who won’t show?

robinvetskeptic.bsky.social•5 days ago

By wearing color coded outfits and bringing “special guests” to Trump’s speech?

Lame and ineffectual. There should be a total boycott. A half-empty chamber would send a stronger message and not legitimize Trump.

This “wait for the midterms” strategy isn’t working, the country won’t last that long!

cupcake1312.bsky.social•5 days ago

katgw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Good call for action. I would've added, @kenmartin.bsky.social, to ask ppl in red districts to keep calling their Reps, to join a local demonstration. Would've been nice to plug some of the great nonprofits like @fairfightaction.bsky.social, @indivisible.org and @moveon.org, @swingleft.bsky.social

katgw.bsky.social•4 days ago

I will thank @raskin.house.gov for very thorough facts and his efforts.

katgw.bsky.social•4 days ago

And @kenmartin.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - you NEED to be telling us what you want us to do. Guide us to daily actions you want us to take. Make us feel like we're all working together. - AND stop w/ the 3 Rs that can be turned. They won't turn!

katgw.bsky.social•4 days ago

KEN! @kenmartin.bsky.social JEFFRIES! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. We do NOT need to hear all these pitches. We need to hear new ideas! New perspective! New tactics. Come on!

lindawarner.bsky.social•5 days ago

We're wearing pink, that'll show 'em. Yay, we're a party that can coordinate our clothes. Want to know why we're losing, look no further than this non-message. What does this do to help Americans put food on the table? It's just more performative crap. You are enabling a traitor. Feckless.

wrongdaytostop.bsky.social•5 days ago

Weakness on parade.

Y’all are embarrassing.

kskm3.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ken, If elected Dems do this tonight, expect primary challenges. We are sick of performative crap that gets us nothing.

Hold a town hall & skip the event.

You owe Trump nothing & your base hates you for showing him respect.

Not a single elected Dem in that chamber. Period.

There is no reason for any of them to go. Anything Ken says to support them going is bullshit.

atm14.bsky.social•5 days ago

IDK, maybe because most of them are fucking cowardly POS' who have already been bought off by the same billionaires who are now trying to run the country?
Just a thought.

Yes.

Correct.

kskm3.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes but I want actual answers from the man in charge of electing Dems.

atm14.bsky.social•5 days ago

I hope almost every elected Dem gets a very serious and seriously funded primary. Dumb shits.

kskm3.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m hoping the groups that have money and options but usually fund the incumbents make different choices this year.

rbsnst.bsky.social•5 days ago

Unless this is an organized effort that is very public it is a non-starter…….you need to be having high energy RALLIES across the country…..with a PLAN FOR MESSAGING AND A PLAN FOR AN OFFENSIVE MOVE

peonmusk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Okay people… we know that #Trump is obsessed with crowd size & RATINGS.

The best way to handle tonight’s speech is to NOT WATCH. Please share
#boycottTheSpeech &
#NotWatching

Play with your kids, drink with friends, or read a book.

If we #IgnoreTrump, he will lose what’s left of his mind.

Unless you’re ready to completely remake the DNC, the party has an almost impossible uphill climb back into our good graces

heylolakc.bsky.social•3 days ago

1/7 Definitely more press conferences. I saw Hakeem this morning and felt a tiny bit of relief. MORE VISIBILITY!!

7/7 Don’t let those criminals be the only ones flooding the zones. PLEASE for the love of our country!!

heylolakc.bsky.social•3 days ago

6/7 You have to showcase the rockstars that they are and have them in front of cameras and the media every single day.

heylolakc.bsky.social•3 days ago

5/7 I am in KC and want to see a lot more of Pete and Cory and AOC and Jasmine and Hakeem LEADING like JDPritzker is doing and like Melanie is doing.

heylolakc.bsky.social•3 days ago

4/7 When it starts to feel like overkill you will almost be there. I get emails daily asking for more money. I WANT to make monthly donations but for WHAT? Where is she anyway?

heylolakc.bsky.social•3 days ago

3/7 You MUST improve the Dems image you MUST be SEEN and HEARD DOING things. Get OUT there. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Fighting back against Trump by advocating an abandonment of the Left Wing of the Democratic Party? A concerted effort to appeal to corporate interests and lean toward the Center? Insert expletive here. Neville Chamberlain had bigger balls than Jeffries.

No, No, No! You do not win against an authoritarian regime by defending institutions and the status quo that did not work for people. We want Medicare for All, end Citizen’s United, and raised minimum wage. Tax the billionaires! I have been a good Democrat but will no longer settle for status quo.

tracita62.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hey @kenmartin.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
Here’s a thought: get your asses out into the country or on widely viewed shows and tell the American people what the hell your plan is to STOP the dictator.

tracita62.bsky.social•5 days ago

Or here’s an idea - send the Dems into red districts where the cowardly GOP won’t go & hold TOWN HALLS!!! Get out among the people. Americans are furious & not just blue voters. You ARE NOT doing your jobs. You all look weak, apathetic, unconcerned. Like you don’t give a damn. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.

“Democrat fightback.”

With bingo paddles?

Yep, that’s the type of opposition “resistance” that is making this problem worse.

🤦🏻‍♂️ #Fail

wiseowljedi.bsky.social•13 hours ago

If democrats really wanna kick the Republicans asses in the mid terms they should be holding town halls in the red districts with an empty chair for the Republican who is hiding from their constituents! They don't wanna face us. We are angry and pissed and they know it! Big Dem opportunity!

jacobrdooley.bsky.social•5 days ago

Please recognize that doing nothing, passively allowing the trump administration to break everything, silently shaking your head in disapproval isn't helping anything and is horrible comms.

People want you to see you fight for them & quit banking on a good midterm election because of R implosion

feistybrunette.bsky.social•4 days ago

Get your SHIT together and follow Gov. Pritzker - who is kicking ass daily.

FFS, NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL - strongly worded letters don't do shit.

feistybrunette.bsky.social•4 days ago

God you suck. Yet another white man given a job he can't handle.

What.The.Fuck.Are.You.DOING????

Good news is I will save a lot of money by NEVER - and I mean fucking NEVER - giving a another dime to Democrats. When we needed you to fight, you wrote strongly worded letters. Fuck it, I'm out.

catgang4.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I missed this event. SO GLAD it's posted on YouTube. Caught a preview of your interview with Jen Psaki that will air tomorrow. Thank goodness I'm hearing from you what I said to my feckless rep in Congress, who is a DEM, last week.

kjbrowning.bsky.social•5 days ago

They have one opportunity to face and oppose him publicaly tonight, Ken. Decorum and norms will not do that!

icussucuss.bsky.social•5 days ago

why not do this during tonight's lie and hate fest instead

mi-taurus.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m going to say it again until I am heard, Republicans have their strawman “waste, fraud, and abuse” tag line I think Democrats need one that can be easily understood and spread across all platforms and can be used during every interview and speech. For example, “Taxes, tariffs, and terminations”.

citizen4longterm.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ugh! I'm probably going to watch but I'm not optimistic. The Dems are running the same game plan as the last election. You talk about "extending the hand of bipartisanship" and "working for all the American people" but you're just getting steamrolled by a fanatic maggot party.

bustersbuds.bsky.social•4 days ago

@kenmartin.bsky.social I think you should be asking every Democrat to use their platform to share this. https://www.youtube.com/live/uz_1YiNSoxo?si=oRrO2elN7aosJU0E

bustersbuds.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ken, if democrats receive money from the DNC, the least they could do is share a YouTube link.

matthewjmcateer.bsky.social•5 days ago

We don't need a plan for 2026. By that time there may not be free elections. The goddamn Russians have captured our government. Do you think they are going to sit around and wait to give it back to us? We need massive civil disobedience in the streets. This is an existential constitutional crisis.

arlentsao.bsky.social•5 days ago

Meanwhile @sanders.senate.gov is already doing 10 times more than you are fucking doing. Holding nationwide Fight Oligarchy town halls is far more effective and educational than you selling a damn stupid pack of Trump stickers.

mastigos27.bsky.social•5 days ago

Useless sacks of manure. Cows produce less hot methane than y'all. Would you pull your heads out your rectums and actually fight?

theoldboy62.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ken, you may want to rethink this one.

A day late and a dollar short might be the most appropriate feedback I or anyone can give you.

No one cares what you have to say because for the most part your words have been meaningless.

try this one:
Actions speak louder than words.

see if that works.

asteraceaeg.bsky.social•5 days ago

You know what I’m sick & tired of? All the fundraising communications I’m getting from Dems all over the nation from various orgs.

Tell everyone to stop sending texts asking for money.

I’m not ever donating again, esp with your lack of action to save us from this fascist administration. Ffs. 🙄

nathan-t.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't appreciate Jeffies blaming the "far" left for wanting equality. He isn't responding to democrats so he's not different from a maga republican.

lorimclorface.bsky.social•5 days ago

Jeffries and Schumer are not the right people for this moment, and I highly suspect you're not either. My husband and I donated a lot of money to both the Biden and Harris campaigns, but we won't donate another penny until we see real action to protect our democracy.

What are you doing to fight this war? This is not normal politics! It is a coup, and a dismantling of our government /institutions, and an intentional push to crash our economy. Action is required before it is too late!

readysteadykittens.bsky.social•5 days ago

And one more just because I am so disgusted by tonight and the Democratic response. You're an asshole, are completely out of your and need to resign.

readysteadykittens.bsky.social•5 days ago

You are a liar. If you were actually fighting back, we would know. There would be no need for a zoom to let us all know how hard you're working for us (boo hoo). GFY and get your head out of your ass.

kittykatkaitlyn.bsky.social•5 days ago

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social We don't want "decorum" - we need ACTION from our representatives.

We demand answers and action from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social because this is getting ridiculous.

@aoc.bsky.social or @repjasmine.bsky.social need to lead the way since the men are too chickenshit.

jg262.bsky.social•5 days ago

Jeffries and Schumer are not up to the job. Time to move on from these two. And keep doing garbage like this Martin you’ll soon be in the same group as those two.

mother-of-mastiffs.bsky.social•3 days ago

I will abandon the democrats if there isn't significant change in the way things are being done.
I had hope with Martin's appointment but the paddles and the pink suits.. Childish and INEFFECTIVE.

Screw decorum, taking the high road got us here.

Dems are a joke, and it's not funny.

skunkworx1995.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh boy, this will be absolutely riveting I’m sure.

Jeffries is such a master of communication, and with such boundless charisma to boot!

If you can’t tell this is sarcasm.

I don’t care what your plan is, I want to see ACTION NOW.

I’d rather see Jeffries primaried

silverknitter.bsky.social•5 days ago

The problem is that you are not. We are in a 5 alarm fire. Trump is switching alliances after 80 years! He is abandoning NATO. He is encouraging Musk to smash & destroy the Federal government. Our nation now is at more risk than ever! Do your job! Speak Up! Act out!

cstrider.bsky.social•5 days ago

Harness the opposition and anger. The Dems are too passive. The fight is weak. People don't vote for the adult in the room. They vote with a fighter..a movement. You guys are doing politics as normal. Wake up. Democracy is worth some new juice and energy. Be good trouble.

aerinsoul.bsky.social•5 days ago

Get out to the districts! There should be rallies in every state, every district! Show people that elected dems actually give a crap about us and aren't just phoning it in. THIS IS THE LEADERSHIP MOMENT! Where are you guys?
AP and Reuters have free time, so give them something to cover!

akat831.bsky.social•5 days ago

I cannot believe how cowardly Democrats in Congress are coming across. How in the world was the collective thinking to sit quietly and hold paddles, meeting this moment? It is an ABSOLUTE failing of Democrat constituents and THOROUGHLY missing the mark. #SOTU

emily-hardin.bsky.social•5 days ago

Absolutely. The only one standing up tonight was Al Greene. I ashamed of the others and proud of Al Greene.

Dictator Trump is Putin’s Trojan horse inside the gates. The best nonviolent solution is to have billionaires ,who don’t want to be extorted by Dictator Trump, hire lobbyists to impeach Dictator Trump because that’s how shit gets done in Washington,everyone knows it.

justgimmesometruth.bsky.social•5 days ago

We are literally under attack and Congress are the deer staring at the headlights. It’s all in the open and is Congress incapable of action without being directed by lobbyists?

Piece of advice: you aren’t going to attract the Fox News cult to vote blue, ever. So stop alienating your actual base. The “our voters don’t have any alternative but to vote for us” mindset will backfire. These are unprecedented times.

YES! White House style pressers, twice a week to counter the lies. Someone CONFIDENT without a simpering smile. None of this shit is funny. Stop letting the corporate “journalists” lead the conversation. Take the narrative back.

omajo.bsky.social•3 days ago

@kenmartin.bsky.social

Are you helping organize Town Halls in Republican districts? Organize daily press conferences with someone who can easily and concisely share facts, someone like Pete Buttigieg? Helping write clear, concise, factual Memes for sharing? If not, what the hell are you doing?
