at least the average democratic voter will understand why we NEED to protest against and yell at elected democrats, i hope that this shows them FINALLY the democratic party is complicit and useless

I'm still holding on to the hope that stronger backlash will somehow mitigate the chances of them just rolling over and dying the way they did for Bush.
The thought of the rest of my life just being endless dubya rehashes is my personal "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" scenario.
I mean, it's not, and you'd have a lot more luck with the rest of us if you kept your critique limited to those who are actually fucking up. House democrats held the line, save one, Jared Golden.
10 Senate Dems fucked us all, including the rest of the Dems! "Dems" as a group, aren't the problem.
can’t wait for libs to come online like a final fantasy boss fight to proclaim proudly how they’ve forgiven the democrats for throwing away the government
I've never been more convinced that this party is just going to die soon. People think that political parties going extinct is just something out of the history books and it couldn't happen today but I think we're seeing it happen in real time.
I'm disappointed at how @justicedemocrats.com have dropped the ball here so far
They really have a chance to step up and start immediately taking leadership positions with people like @aoc.bsky.social and @pressley.house.gov and @ilhanmn.bsky.social as members
oh yeah no biggie, it's only an entire fifth of all the sitting democratic senators that sold out their constituents in the hopes that republicans will some day ever reward their sportsmanship
Exactly. Yes their power right now is limited, but if they're using even just that limited power to help the Nazis instead of opposing them, then I think "they're preferable to the Nazis" has become simply an article of faith, not an observation of reality.
The party may be useless as a whole, but there are specific elected officials, who happen to currently have a "D" by their name, who *are* willing to fight even when they have to push against complicit GOP-worshiping Dems to do so.
when you read up on what milei's done to argentina it 100% perfectly mirrors what trump and elon are doing to america. mass layoffs, gutting gov departments, crypto shills, corruption, oligarchy, privatization, pouring billions into national intelligence. i could go on
they should be. they've literally said its what theyre doing. the only reason it isnt technically a dictatorship is because elections still happen. the candidates are all just unequivocally corrupt
oh they'll understand for like a day and then some progressive will say something a bit "too far" and it'll be back to the norm for them in like a week
In two days an internet commenter will respond to a transphobic tweet by a liberal with "this is transphobic" and a wave of "purity tests" and "this is the problem with leftists" commentary will flood their feeds.
i'm seeing the "they go low we go high" "joe biden was the best president of my lifetime" girl bosses finally lose their shit which feels noteworthy. hoping they keep hold of that rage and channel it into something useful.
The same D voters who had no problem with: the Patriot Act, the "War on Terror", bombing Lybia, criminalizing HIV+ people, thought Occupy Wall St was going too far, thought gays should be grateful for scraps under GWB, Obama keeping illegal minors in private prisons, drone strikes, I could go on...

Forgot voting for a Democrat, they belong in a fucking wood chipper.

This could be their tea party moment
Those guys hold back the party
