This has been my message to every fundraising email from a Democrat. If they can't get a rent a cop or some little Elon stooge out of a doorway to protect federal employees and Americans' personal information, they need to resign.
From my perspective, the two prominent politicians that do this will are AOC and Newsom, but the latter is far from a perfect candidate, and both have been the objects of vilification by the right for years hoping to make them nationally unelectable boogeymen.
I’m convinced a not insignificant portion of the Democratic Party are actually just Republicans, and they’re the ones most pushing the “reach across the aisle” mentality pushing them right and stomping on anything that actually challenges the Republican Party
They’ll also get my $$$. Stopped all my recurring donations to the DNC when it was clear they were being led by people who had zero sense strategically
This is probably one of the main reasons why Tim Walls took off so well. He walked up to that podium and said JD Vance f**** that couch with his whole chest. Whether it was true or not everybody was like yeah go get them.
I don't mind paying ProPublica so journalists can eat whilst doing the hard work and telling the truth. Amplify voices. If I see a politician that isn't just saying all the right things, but can actually lead and get stuff done...I will give up my coffees. For real.
I’m guessing anyone over 60 in Congress has no idea who Kendrick Lamar and Drake are. So for the Schumers and Pelosis , maybe you need to use a different example. (and maybe it’s time for term limits)
This would be the best. We need to feel like we have leaders who stop at nothing but complete obliteration of Trump, Musk and the rest of those low-rent nazis.
This is what I want. But refusing to vote for imperfect mainstream candidates is part of what got us here. We are trying to make a binary decision with 350 million people, about 50% of which are pretty fashy. Anyone who could get a majority vote is not going to much look like my personal ideal.
Exactly. More than 50% of Americans fall into the "it won't affect me so I don't care" or jerrymandered/voter suppression categories. I'd easily wager that the just don't care enough to vote category is 45% of all Americans.
Having TwaTrump at the game was akin to Hitler at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, seething at the sight of his “Superior Race” being pummelled by a Black American.
I’m working with my friend from Wisconsin on a sort of FreeDEM movement within the party. Crafting messaging just like this and targeting incumbents who need to be sent to the retirement home.
I need a hard left democrat that could give two skits what republicans think. Like doesn’t acknowledge one in the room, expects them to step out of the way. I’m pretty ok with this person getting in a fistfight at the capital
What's the hard left doing anyway? Does it really exist?
Left-right political ideology is one thing. Respecting the Constitution and the rule of law, which until recently conservatives (claimed to be) obsessed with, is another.
Look back 100 years in the U.S. What do you expect the hard left to do? Who are they? Jill Stein? Glenn Greenwald? Ralph Nader? Don't hold your breath.
I honestly don’t see the greens as left anymore, or even as a real party. So many third parties in the US have become one person running for president over and over. I want a left party that runs school board candidates, etc. Hyper local politics
But the left seems to think that local politics is just not cool, except in a few urban areas. It's too boring. It prevents the left from building a base.
The Green Party is a force in Europe. In the U.S., where it's something completely different, it's a sad joke.
I get the impression from the progressive left that they don't need to do marketing or politicking, and that everyone should just know, appreciate, and agree with what the left wants. Then they're insulted when it never happens except in a handful of locales. They ought to knock on doors in Alabama.
honestly the ammo they have against republicans based on the frequency of pedophilia and pedophilia-adjacent genital-related policies is all they would need to destroy the party's brand.
I was *entirely* on board until the very last line, because I long for a politician who will ask me for something real, not just cash or a name on a petition. Text me that you’re running for city council
& ask me to volunteer at the library and you’ll have me for life.
yeah, anything from a politician with a bunch of Rah Rah Fight Emergency!! text followed by a donation link gets flagged as a spam immediately, i have no time for that

Why is anybody listening to them?
Why were they not politely ushered out of the room and brought back to the nursing home?

The constant moneybegs, without the politicians involved actually DOING ANYTHING afterward are what angers me.
I don't like being constantly hassled to donate, especially for a fight that never seems to happen.
