If there’s a better indication that the democrat party needs to be cleaned the fuck out, I’m not waiting for it.

prairiesam.bsky.social•2 days ago

They all just sent the message they're fine with this authoritarian regime. The majority of us are NOT.

pankraru.bsky.social•1 day ago

Someone posted this in a Thread about AOC and Nancy... It really highlights what happens inside the DNC if you rock the boat, even a little bit.

cosmicsunflower.bsky.social•1 day ago

I dont have to imagine because a similar thing happened to me a few years ago. It’s more punishment for the person they dont like than promoting someone they do.

jack6.bsky.social•2 days ago

Haha fuck the democrats.

aboutosleep.bsky.social•2 days ago

The problem is some democrats take money from wealthy Republicans & don't work for us. 🤷‍♂️ Imagine a employee taking bribes helping the competition & then going to work for them afterwards this shouldn't be legal.

bigdicknrg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Lobbying should be illegal also no more funny money or things in politics period

aboutosleep.bsky.social•2 days ago

"Businessman" only hate the government because they see it as competition like another company. 🤷‍♂️ they wanna buy it hollow it out & then sell it to anybody including America's rivals.

With Democrats like these (who voted to censure Rep. Green), who needs enemies?

webrant.bsky.social•2 days ago

Al Green literally stood up against fascism so the AIPAC caucus must punish him for opposing what they are paid to support.

How many Democrats are secretly on the trump payroll? Or am I just paranoid?

Going to need a better class of democrat,

skyybnnue.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean, OBVIOUSLY fuck em, bunch of cowards clinging to ideas of "decorum" that have no place when fascism is rising. But I see nobody in the comments saying it, so I will: Censure doesn't actually DO anything. It's a way for congress to say, "We had a vote and we REALLY don't like what you did!"

aerinea.bsky.social•2 days ago

One of the "present" votes is acceptable, because it makes sense that a person can't vote on their own censure. Rep. Al Green should have been the only "present"

balrogmidgar.bsky.social•2 days ago

A party half enslaved by respectability politics that nobody else in the room is even bothering with anymore.

bigdicknrg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Its greed like the majority dont kid yourself

What do you think the other half I alluded to is enslaved by? lol

cynbelterreus.bsky.social•2 days ago

I agree with this, I mean with only a few(?) not even attending like AOC... not attending was less impactful than actually showing up and doing what Al Green did.

Why you ask? BECAUSE THAT WAS TELEVISED AND SEEN.

sheltie.t4t.dog•2 days ago

The Democratic Party is literally completely useless.

They're wearing shirts and holding up white boards pretending like they're accomplishing something, and that's great for republicans because that means they can just fucking ignore them.

How the fuck did we elect an entire party of idiots??

kigalas.bsky.social•2 days ago

They’re trolling us

nathanplante.bsky.social•2 days ago

Honestly that's insulting to trolls at this point.

kigalas.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fair

cavskermit.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn't have voted to censure him, but it was counterproductive in the sense that it made Trump look like the adult. People shouldn't pretend otherwise.

unclesamson.bsky.social•2 days ago

DINOs gotta go!

techadeptauxbearer.bsky.social•2 days ago

They said "can't swing at every ball." But I guess they can swing at your own team mates

mookstyfawker.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hope those Democrats who voted to punish him enjoy their reward of being fed to the grinder last. At least they'll have time to reflect on what they did to get them there.

carlyraejenkem.bsky.social•2 days ago

Very generous to let them go last when they really deserve to be thrown into the first batch as well.

bannedcarp.bsky.social•2 days ago

Disgusting… party needs to be deleted.

argarock.bsky.social•2 days ago

Look you don't understand, wearing pink suits and holding up a "You're mean D:" sign would've stopped Hitler they just weren't smart enough to try it in 1933

argarock.bsky.social•2 days ago

Seriously though, words cannot express my deep hatred for the Democratic party. You couldn't create a more ineffective worthless party in a lab if you tried. It comes second only to the Republicans, who at the least I expect to be Hitler.

b3anz1e.bsky.social•2 days ago

every single congress member who voted to censure Al Green should be removed from congress.

clefairy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Idk if I can in good faith vote for a Democrat ever again. They are controlled opposition at this point and only serve to stop an actual leftist movement from taking over.

bigdicknrg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly been this way for too long the parties are an illusion for the bottom rungs and a device of the elites

vinchenzojackal.bsky.social•2 days ago

10 Democrats voted to censure Green... and it was Hakeem Jeffries who called the House demanding the censurship of Green... and Hakeem did not even vote of favor of censuring Green.
Hakeem was just doing the bidding of his MAGA-Trump donors, while not wanting to risk appearing loyal to them.

funkylilpunk.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just wish AOC and outspoken dems would start their own party already because the democratic voter base is pissed off at democrats and they’re just shifting more right

gem-art.bsky.social•2 days ago

i really wish they would too 😭 the establishment dems are basically the Pre Reagan Republicans and i’m getting really fucking tired of em :/ (and you know damn well they’d try their hardest to stop that party too)

stochasticooze.bsky.social•2 days ago

The problem is that starting another party in this country os a fool's errand. The nature of our elections means that if any significant portion of one party splits off, the other party wins. This is what happened in 1860, and to a lesser extent in 1992 and '96.

mrmac23.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Democrat Party is, functionally, an extension of the GOP regime that serves as controlled opposition for them to repeatedly score freely-given homeruns on while they continue to plumb new depths of evil. They are useless by design.

balrogmidgar.bsky.social•2 days ago

God I fucking hate this weaponization of decorum. Either you have it or you don't. Picking and choosing which politicians can violate decorum (and what violating decorum even entails) and which have to abide by it is an asinine waste of time.

v3rmeille.inkadia.cc•2 days ago

Interrupted Trump’s address to congress, loudly calling him on his bullshit. He was eventually forcibly removed from the House.

lbigisland.bsky.social•2 days ago

If your rep voted to censure Al Green call now and tell them to quit clearing the way for fascism and that you will make their lives miserable for the rest of their term if they ever side again with MAGA. MAKE THEM MISERABLE.

lbigisland.bsky.social•2 days ago

And if your rep stood with the Democrats call them and tell them to make sure to let the 9 cowards who did not know, they have betrayed their party and their country. And we are watching and will act accordingly.

It’s 10 cowards.

It's actually scary that our government is heading towards censoring people because they disagreed with trump....

Call your Congressperson now!

Use this number: (202) 224-3121

Tell them how you feel! You don't have to be perfect in speech. Overwhelm them! They are starting to listen!

I just called mine and told them I think this Democratic response in the face of tyranny right now is simply not enough.

lzfowler.bsky.social•2 days ago

They literally could’ve not voted or voted no and it wouldn’t have mattered. So the fact they still voted yes is absolutely a betrayal and so disgusting of them. The democrats keep taking L’s and it’s always their own faults.

bigdicknrg.bsky.social•2 days ago

Slap to the face of constituents and a bend over and cough for entry for the republicans and the insanity theyre allowing stateside rn

bigdicknrg.bsky.social•2 days ago

More of the same shit really but theyre truly emboldened now and apparently have no more fucks to give to even try and hide their tyranny and grifting any more

lzfowler.bsky.social•2 days ago

Exactly. Spineless, every single one. The display at his speech was enough and now this? They clearly could careless about us and are in bed with the republicans. I’m sure they’re well paid for their betrayals and us being mad about it is just par for the course

boltingblazie.bsky.social•1 day ago

11 compared to the rest of the democrats is a drop in the fucking mud compared tot he rest of congress so the jeffries type democrats know their side of the party is dying

boltingblazie.bsky.social•1 day ago
