Why do I keep seeing Democrat politicians seemingly complaining to us that someone needs to stop Trump and Elon. YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN!!! Who are you waiting for?!

May I introduce you to the multi-party system? I'd love to see DNC and GOP split into two factions each. Let people choose exactly what they want. But who am I kidding, the problem is too many politicians who are in it for themselves, and not enough AOCs, Bernie Sanders' or Jacinda Arderns.
I couldn't agree more. Small point: It's Democratic politicians, not "Democrat." The latter was a term coined by Newt Gingrich and Co. years ago, with great sarcasm and derision. Individuals are Democrats, yes, but it's Democratic politicians + the Democratic party. Please don't use their language.
It’s like the rest of the D party is finally waking up to what us progressive “far leftists” have been saying for years. These fucking geriatric Neanderthals are less useful than a crocheted condom. They have zero teeth and run around wringing their hands and making noise while doing NOTHING.
I honestly believe the only ones who can are the Republicans. We have to find the ones who still have a backbone/spine and internal, working, moral compass. They are out there, I'm sure of it. How do we support them to do the right thing?
EXACTLY! And apparently AOC posted or did a live or something on instagram. A platform that we have been told to boycott over and over. And it was the only platform she went live on. Tell us to boycott and then only go live on the one place we’ve been encouraged to boycott?
And I get it…..being on insta still gives her a larger audience but she also just alienated a lot of people too because that was the only platform she posted on. So she wants is to give meta views and $ I guess.
Clips are not the same as equal access to the information in real time. And 30k? In the grand scheme of what is going on? I mean, I can look at the nearest town to me of 15k, double it and go huh “that’s not many”. How many more could she have reached if she had used more than 1 platform at one time
Which other platform should she have used to live stream? And yes 30k on the live and then around 200k have since liked and seen the recording that she posted and she just posted it. I just feel like there are bigger fish to fry than where she live streamed.
Pretty sure YouTube would have reached as many, if not more, AND not alienate people.
I feel that it is quite important to hold elected officials feet to the fire regarding their incompetence because they are the reason we have bigger fish to fry. Why are so many people letting them off the hook?!
They're fucking SPINELESS. All of them. The people with GOVERNMENT CLEARANCE to the building are standing OUTSIDE of the building. Rallying the...WHOOOOOO, EXACTLY???
I keep seeing this. What do you want them to do? They have no power. If there is a law, they will use it. But a lot of government was an honor system. & by the time they figured it out, they couldn't vote for the law because of the GOP and other obstructers like Manchin and Sinema. What else?
Musk has been given his power by the executive branch. The legislative branch can't sue the executive without the permission of the speaker who is a Republican suck up. so there's only so much they can do.
No. The executive branch does not have the power to create a new org to send people into agencies to lock out those employees from both computers and buildings and literally take over the payment processing systems of the US Treasury. Even with Johnson's limp dick. Your ignorance is appalling.
I think we can't forget that the algorithm is working against us and is not showing us what democrats are doing. But I know they're suing, advocating, building people power, educating. Too many of us (not saying you but sometimes I'm guilty of it) get our news from meta and that will not show us
what's happening. So we have to look for it outside of meta and we have turn inward and build our own collectives as well.Have we participated in phone banks?Have we marched?Have we donated to mutual aides?Let's make sure we are doing something too, outside of the virtual and thanks for what you do!
There is not a lot they can do, but they can try. See below. The one thing none of them should be doing is voting yes on any of the confirmations. They need to do whatever they can to stall and resist. Make their constituents aware of what is happening. A lot of people are not paying attention.
Musk/Trump made weekend moves to maximize chaos. Dems are driving home the illegality now. Law suits are starting. @thespeechprof.bsky.social you have *reach*! We need Red state citizens, esp ones with moderate reps, to CALL THEM & BE ANGRY.
