The Democrats were never going to save us. For my entire life they howled "IF YOU DON'T ELECT US, THEY'LL OVERTURN ROE!" We elected them countless times. They never did anything to codify it. Countless other things too. I prefer them to Republicans, but fuck them too.
It was a hearing on resolutions on Tuesday… You should look it up. It was powerful. Cspan on YouTube should have it. Just skip ahead to Jamie Raskin‘s speech.
Did she draw up a bill or resolution to block the certification? Did she object to the certification in any official way? She is 1 of my favorite gentleladies, but I'm losing my faith in them as the people who will stand up because they aren't taking action;they didn't stand up.They clapped politely
Yep. I highly respect many of these people but there is no ignoring that when the time came to fight against fascism taking over the WH, NONE of them did anything. I heard so much hollow virtue signaling of our 'moral victory' not repeating an insurrection. We've been thrown to the wolves.
It feels like that, but I just keep hoping that they have something planned. I expected it at or before the certification. It's weird that they aren't saying anything. I've been waiting since March for congress to address the 14thA. They haven't even mentioned it though.
14th amendment! Dems could have and would have been heroes for rescuing the US from certain disaster. Disaster that is already starting before he even takes office. Get some balls. Get some new goals and fight fire with fire. Dems looked week as hell and let down their party. Stuck with crazy now.
It pains me to say it, but Kamala hasn't shown any of the 'When we fight, we win' spirit. I've heard hollow, moral victory stuff about the peaceful Jan 6 certification etc, and vague calls to 'resist', but it's all in reference to *after* the Dems hand over the Oval to Trump/Putin/Musk. Weak.
I’m surprised @raskin.house.gov hasn’t met this moment. He understands better than almost anyone what another Trump presidency will mean to the country and the world.
Let’s me make this as crystal fucking clear to those of you who regurgitate Trumps wrongdoings all day. It celebrates his CRUELTY. They love this! Stop serving them. You’re better off fighting for TRUTH and fighting the platforms that spread misinformation and hate. We need people OFF PLATFORMS.
THIS IS YOUR BIGGEST FIGHT! Regurgitated TRUMP bs is celebrating his cruelty. Let’s stop this nonsense and get out of our own fucking way. Period. The end. This is Americas first problem. Shut the fuck up and fight CORRECTLY!
People listing off Crockett and Swalwell apparently didn’t notice they couldn’t even show up to vote on releasing the Gaetz report. So no. Not Gallego or Porter, either.
Well for the sake of narrowing the options down in the quickest way possible, we can immediately cross every Republican off the list including Sinema and Manchin because those DINOS were basically Republicans all along anyway.
Rep Jaimie Raskin. Rep James McGovern Capitol Police Captn CAROLINE EDWARDS. Many more rebutted & impassioned speeches publicly stating GOP house report IS FALSE & BS of Jan 62021.
Even quoted repub house victims testimonies of 1/6/21 but lies in ofc today! https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/06/politics/donald-trump-election-certification/index.html
The trouble is the only guardrail left is Trump himself. All others have either been smashed or have removed themselves. So what does he want? It’s all about that, now. What does he feed on? Violence & vengeance may not be the most efficient paths to what he wants.
Stacy Plaskin, Rep from the Virgin Islands, pointing out the unconstitutional territorial colonialism that allows their taxation without representation.
There are a few, which others have named. Unfortunately, they've largely been marginalized by the party's designated leaders. I can't think of one example of courage, boldness or exemplary behavior in a leadership position at the national level. And frankly, it's fucking infuriating!
If a dem showed that kind of boldness, would legacy media pick it up? How do we compete for clicks with a guy who’s threatening war with Denmark ffs. In their limited sphere I’d nominate Reps. Crockett, AOC and Jeffries. At least they’re trying.
Hardly. One Instagram story asking why some of her constituents voted for both Trump and her? Then a few posts about Puerto Rico while she was there for the holidays?
I no longer defend any of them. This goes for all the ones people champion. IMO they too are disqualified under the Fourteenth Amendment section three. They gave it aid and comfort which is also a disqualifying factor. No one with authority will address this😡. My question is why are they on here?
Absolutely agree.
She is representing and duly serving Texas proudly in DC amidst and in spite of the swamp creatures.
She boldly stands her ground for us! She uses her power/influence for good, not evil; for better, not worse.
She is a solid “up-and-comer” for the Democratic Party.
There are a few people speaking out, but no one that needs to listen to them could give a shit. Someone at the very top with the gravitas to shock the system needs to step up, even though it would likely jeopardize their position, freedom and probably their life in the next few years.
Liz has. That’s about it. President Biden needs to take advantage of his newfound immunity. Release the full report. I have absolutely zero confidence at the report will change anything, but at least it won’t be destroyed.
Oh totally. Like all of them. Work three weeks a year, have a great salary, amazing benefits and all that delicious insider trading. If they ever knew, they cannot possibly know or imagine what the lives of ordinary Americans are like now.
She asked for more money and then gave a big speech about handing over power to a fascist. That’s not fearlessness, that’s cowardice. If she and Biden were fearless they would’ve done something about Trump.
Looks like another country will have to step in and show those things. Every branch of the US government and media cowered and bowed down when challenged.
Ridiculous
Too many Dems are as transactional as Trump. Biden worked hard to put us on the right course, stepped aside when asked & now it's "his mess" to clean up?
He did good with the economy, but absolute fuck all to save us from Trump. He was the president for the last 4 years, zero messaging, so yes, he is responsible.
Dms are not responsible for Trump's viability. If Jan 6, 34 guilties, stolen classified materials & refusal to return, etc., weren't changing his supporter's vote, there was no magic communication from a Dem that would do so
Trueish, people are shite, but any messaging from Biden would have been quite helpful. He’s also the President. Time to play by the same rules as GOP. They have been relentless, us, not so much. Given the opponent, it should have been easy.
It doesn’t take just one person to counter the Project 2025 masterplan. They spent decades and millions and many Human Resources and planning with other fascists to set up their takeover. Democrats just can’t keep
up no matter how hard they try. What is it they say about the meek?
Not one dem has made it their mission to go to every media outlet daily to call out the evil acts Trump will commit. There’s only the low bs discussions like how his nominees are losers. We need to talk about the big things!
Biden should release Jack Smith’s report and give daily briefings (warnings) on the dangers of Trump. He should throw up as many guardrails as he can now. He has immunity from official acts.
Every dem s/b warning people about project 2025!
We need leaders with bravery, guts, courage!
That was 1st thing that entered my mind ... Joe... Order Merrick Garland to release it publiclly!! Do it as an "Official Act" as we, the people, were the victims (in J6 case)!! He was even charged with Criminal violation of our Civil Rights 18 USC 242!! Nevermind we paid the bill for investigation!!
Some have made gestures and comments but did nothing meaningful to stop this. There were avenues to pursue but they didn’t. I really feel they don’t want to lose their lifestyle.
It should have been KH on election night not conceding, calling for a recount considering all the inconsistencies, bomb threats, burned ballots, etc.
Add the fact tfg was calling PA numbers as fraud during the morning voting hours, prepping for losing.
Exactly this! From the Bible to today it was always the women who acted first, even in the face of great opposition & their own fear. God, the creator of all life, made women closer to her image by giving us the ability to create life as well. WE are the ones with power & the men should fear us! 💪
Of course it is. They are threatened by the power of women that they will do anything to destroy us. Last laugh on them. Women have owned their great power
At no point did I suggest we end the Law - nor even bend it. If our Justices do not Stand for the Law then how the hell are we going to do a damned thing about it?
We vote. We inspire the 100M assholes that stayed home.
And we protest with our bodies. We work strike. We stand as a nation of democrats and refuse to work until the atrocities end.
Before we can inspire them we need to listen and try to understand them. They did not vote for Trump and they are not assholes. To win we need less hubris and more inspiration.
I would love to get more people to vote, but, the Democrats have done NOTHING to inspire such. If anything, this disgrace will inspire even MORE people to not vote. What is the point? I have never been more disgusted with them. We have been abandoned. They do not work for us.
Oh there’s a few voices here and there. Not very loud and not being covered adequately by our compromised, corporate press.
But the cavalry isn’t arriving to save us.
We are on our own.
AOC and Jasmine Crockett are doing better than the rest, but no one has really stepped up and provided bold leadership that meets the moment. Also, not an elected official, but I'd like to see Jessica Denson run for something. She showed boldness with her 14th Now movement.
Hardly at least for AOC. She made one Instagram story asking why her constituents voted for Trump and her, and a few posts about Puerto Rico while she was there over the holidays. Her last post here (with everything going on around us) was about how babies are now the Beta generation.
What election? We’re living under a tyrant as of 1/20, and by certifying the electoral college votes and ignoring Amendment 14, section 3, the government has all but wiped their ass with the constitution. We will never have another president under the historic election structure
I’m not stopping either. That said, we are not in congress nor are we in control of deciding that there will be another election. It’s best to face those facts and stand up in ways that can make a difference because writing letters certainly hasn’t done a damn thing 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, fewer than we would hope - @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social I would love to see the three of them band together with the @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Of course you are, because who you described doesn’t exist.
Why this suggestion that no one serving presently has these virtues?
Raskins
AOC
Jeffries
It can’t be anyone that certified the insurrectionist. Or that was in watch and allowed this to happen.
My favorite is Pete Buttigieg. I’m hoping he comes here after his duties as Secretary are over.
