How is this even legal?

I'm sure it's not but who's going to bring suit at this point?

How do we get a Dem to hold a town hall in our area when our Congressman refuses to?

Yet you and most Dems are too afraid to stand up against billionaires. There is no such thing as a good billionaire Ken.

idaem.bsky.social•18 days ago

Really wish the GOP that's the trifecta majority would do something about it.

saavedra.bsky.social•18 days ago

I wish the DNC would reject billionaire donors and super pacs. The DNC loves their corporate donors and they hate the working class. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/musk-resistance-democrats-billionaire-donors/

skol-brian.bsky.social•18 days ago

And never get elected again? Until citizens united goes bye bye, there isn't stopping donations like this.

saavedra.bsky.social•18 days ago

Where does that ruling say the DNC must boot lick the rich? Kamala had a billion dollar war chest, how did that work out?

skol-brian.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah you are right. Better stay home again and not vote because principles.

artistrandy.bsky.social•18 days ago

That's why they're doing the things they are. The plan in motion.

What they are doing is repeating a losing strategy by relying on oligarchs.

I find it hard to believe that Trump BOUGHT a Tesla. If he did, though, he probably got the money from the treasury.

macawake.bsky.social•17 days ago

I can’t imagine he even drives. He is driven. He needs a Tesla golf cart.

macawake.bsky.social•17 days ago

What’s your plan?! We know what’s wrong. What are Dems doing to fix it? Your posting in an echo chamber. You have the most motivated base imaginable. Lead! Innovate! Get your message out. Campaign now. Be loud. Get your national ads out now. An ad barrage around an election cycles is fruitless.

1luckylady.bsky.social•17 days ago

Also Congress needs to vote to stop trumps emergency declaration so he stops these tariffs. Republicans threw the ball in the Dems court cause they didn’t want to deal with it. Now if the Dems get off their lazy asses before the congressional session is over, tariffs will stop

Start doing your job and figure out the messaging to fight this. Vote no on cloture!! Shut it down and give time for the courts to do their thing while elon can't do anything. Elon is already shutting down the government. Run ads now!! We are losing the Republic. Fight for us.

techanomaly404.bsky.social•18 days ago

Trump buying a Tesla raises conflict of interest concerns, given Musk’s federal ties. Endorsing a private company while in office blurs ethical lines, fueling doubts about his priorities. Is he leading for the people or boosting billionaire allies?

Instead of helping vets or seniors or people that have lost their job & can't pay the rent or food bill, Trump is doing free adverts for his Billionaire Buddy Elon. Elon by the way wants to destroy our social security and medicare and end NATO. They only care about enriching themselves.

kymgrosso.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah, we get it. And WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY NOW!!! We need the energy of Jasmine Crockett. Seriously - what are Dems planning on doing? Seeing 10 Dems vote to censure one of their own was an epic failure of Dem leadership. Get it together!

NBC News poll:

65% of registered Democrats want congressional Democrats to stick to their positions — even if that risks sacrificing bipartisan progress. Just 32% want Democrats to make legislative compromises with Trump.

laurarosee123.bsky.social•16 days ago

Vote No on Cloture & Repub Spending Bill. Repubs stuck language in the bill that gives Trump permission to continue taking away money already approved for Fed Agencies. The bill gives power of appropriations to potus. This will make half the court cases against this administration moot. Stand Strong

furgiuele.bsky.social•17 days ago

True, but it can be fixed (maybe). No party is or can be perfect, but imo Clinton took a vital FDR-Carter party and turned it into the corporate-friendly DLC. Carter lost because of damage done by Teddy Kennedy in the primary. Clinton misread his loss as the need to tack right. Absolutely wrong.

Yes! It’s a war against the 1%. It’s simple to define. It resonates with all people. The Democrats don’t want to define it as such because they’re beholden to the 1% too. They will continue to lose. Bernie has the right message. There’s nothing radical about it. It’s truth.
