The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
Comments
Also reach out to the @justicedemocrats.com Democrats, the @workingfamilies.org, and @moveon.org for the same information.
What do you know of these organizations? Have you ever worked with them? They are very effective and they're always the underdogs. The Working Families Party, esp, does well in electing Progressives & Democrats w/Progressive platforms.

Indivisible is a citizen action group.
If it wasn't able to do so, it's b/c it didn't have the numbers & local funding to affect the vote via grassroots work, etc.
That's not the org's failure. It's what happens when there aren't enough people to make a go of it.
Have you talked to them? Just as we have to goose our reps, we also have to goose local chapters. People can be pretty comfortable and decide not to "rock the boat," even now. SMH
Of course, the boat is rocking. What are they willing to do?
It's bad enough that Republican Senators won't protect their own constituents.
But it's unfathomable that so many Dems won't fight for us. It's sickening.
Also: Love @govpritzker.illinois.gov—because he's absolutely shown himself to be one of the fighters. Best IL governor of my lifetime.
Getting a little nervous up here.
Thanks.
We need FIGHTERS in the ring!
UNITED IN OPPOSITION!
Gloves off!
EVERY fight!
As long as it takes!

It is the old school, conflict adverse, everyone play nice, and things just work out mentality that the Dems need to move on from. It will not happen with current leadership.
So in this case it’s finally about fight or surrender
How do you mean this?
Was there no „win“ for the resistance in Germany against Hitler (but „unintended consequences“) in your opinion?
#Calexit
The same goes for the Republicans who are being scammed by 15% of extreme nut jobs and very violent libertarians who want corporate autocracy
The entire 2-party system seems undemocratic and open to abuse
They don't have any sense of loyalty to the people or real opposition to the ruling power. They are bribed self-servers.

Any Senate Democrat who refuses to condemn Schumer's surrender and who supports his continued role as leader is essentially saying that they are not on Team Fight.
(Pritzger is doing a great job! Please tell him we appreciate his leadership.)
It was super effective!
It seems like self preservation to me. Do they really want what is in our best interest? I have abandonment issues at this point.
Built a castle in the sand
Got upset no one wanted to play
Cuz he sold his soul to Trump today
Poor, Pathetic Fetterman!
Has no guts but acts like a man
Thinks he's smarter than the people
He's supposed to serve, what a sheeple
And so do my fellow Democrats
We see him for what he is
A spineless, weak, pathetic shit
Fetterman you're a big disgrace
Running 'round lying all o'er the place
Can't figure out what to do?
Read the Constitution, it'll give you a clue
Or else there'll be hell to pay;
Better bet you'll get primaried
For someone who with freedom's married
You'll go down in history as a traitor
Because you support the Orange Traitor
Change course Fetterman without delay
And maybe I'll have kinder things to say!
We're already in a situation of pain with no gain.
The best plan @schumer.senate.gov has is to continue this until September to give the Republicans another chance to do the right thing. Really?
Too many old people stand where bold people should be standing.
But when you have one landfill for 650k people, little to no internet access, very few healthcare facilities, a drug abs givens issue, and 17th century roads and bridges,
You get tired of the 40 year old soap box show that does nothing to get more federal funding.

They just say well Democrats wouldn't waive the filibuster so we couldn't pass the budget so the government shut down. ..
Why would they?
Maybe I'm being too pessimistic.

For my own part, I’m with the fighters!!!
FIGHT!!!
& When people begin starving & can't get medications red states will spiral. Corp execs need theft increases, looting, vandalism, rioting, property damage, injury lawsuits vividly described bc they have shark attorneys.
Urge all other countries to boycott & make it hurt. When they lose money & fear damaging upheaval, the wealthy execs will resist with their own real weight. We need that. 💙✊
Wouldn't it be better to focus on the tanking markets instead of shifting the blame for any dysfunction onto Dems?
The goal is to stop Trump from shredding the constitution and consolidating executive power. Fail that, there might not BE a midterm.
Look, I was the first one to be all over Shumer, but I do believe he has a point.
But I can understand Shumer's fear. 35% of the country likes what Musk is doing.
3. Donate to individual Democrats who did not cave to MAGA.
Do you see why you are playing directly in Trump’s hand?
‘the smartest guy in the room!!’ … just ask him!
Start with a 1-person community: you.
Build out from there.
They have the guns, but we have the numbers.
(Also, we have some guns.)
WHAT IF…❓
“Hiding out while the world burns is an untenable look for Democrats. But they may find themselves quickly back in business if they can simply swallow their pride and follow Bernie’s lead in breaking out of the paralyzing bubble of Capitol Hill and
This seems like speaking to hear yourself talk.
@fetterman.senate.gov
@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social
I will no longer register as Dem and they won't see a dime from me.
Clearly, they don't care.
Money trumps integrity.
Your oppression is their profession.
Do they not comprehend this?
It was centred on the right anyway through the PaCs funding
(But also fuck moderate and left - they are Republicans through and through)

Football people... you can't relate anything to anything else can you?
Kansas City at least tried to win that game. That’s the difference.
Also, that's just BS btw.
Sorry but they lost my here
The party is acting like everything will work out in the end so I'm not playing with them anymore.
How the F are we supposed to have the #Resistance if he won't let anyone resist at this crucial moment?
☎️ 202-224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on the budget resolution and demand they vote no on cloture (speeding up the CR bill vote) and NO on the resolution itself. Cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits must not happen!
Call the Senate Switchboard and leave a message for your Senators NOW
The idea of Dem’s giving away their power is a real pisser! 🤬
NOTHING about that possibility would even slow me down.
I'm ready.
I'd rather die fighting 4 rights of those being targeted than live as a coward because I won the genetic lottery.
#Trump #resist
Team fight has the numbers. A few times over.
Flood the Zone with shit will turn to flood the Zone with blood.
They say it quite openly.
Panama might surrender peacefully. Canada and Europe not.
It's a class war. It's the rich vs the rest of us. And those that don't want to fight don't want to antagonize their corporate donors. That's why they'd rather play dead and introduce legislation that won't go anywhere as an excuse.
Maybe if we publicly specify who is associated with whom and why we get more traction with them
the r wont meet with their constituents & has capitulated to ‘leadership’ to give the bazillionaires everything.
so, a nazi bought the government, a dunderhead dick tater is running the country amok, & gop is complicit in the coup, going against the will of their voters!!
Eddie Burke, with his great quotes, had this nailed down after he watched the French heads roll. Government run by the owners of capital, no votes for the labor, and the lowlifes need elites to save them from themselves. Ergo democracy is bad.
It's the same plank, repainted, over and over.
Vote no, no, no, FUCKING-WELL NO on the lying, slimy, RepubliCROOK 'CR' bill!

We are pissed Senators and will never rest until you’re gone.
