to think that victory is a product of showing voters how responsible they are
And I’m not talking about his supporters, just people who voted for him.
They are not ignorant because they “missed the news”. If it doesn’t touch them today, it’s irrelevant.
Unfortunately, yelling at people that this will be a disaster, while necessary, won’t move the needle. They have to experience it first hand.
I just hope they (and we) will survive it.
second of all, i don’t want them to “come and save us”. i want them to do their fucking jobs. constantly blast the consequences of these decisions on TV. tell voters how they will make basic goods more expensive .
Reminding people how the Constitution works and this isn't it would be responsible.

This is me learning not to wake up and post hot takes.
Back to my lane. 🚗
to think that victory is a product of showing voters how responsible they are” is the perfect description of the response of the leadership of our Democrat party.
It's time to end the Democratic Party and start a new one - unless we can QUICKLY dump these Do-Nothings.
Primary the Do-Nothings and those who vote with Republicans. Get RID of them!
It's time to actually DO something!
As you’ve said, if you’re the opposition party, act like it.

All people heard was "wolf" after a while.
- Not an action agenda.
- Not a plan for “equal and opposite”.
- No chart showing the destructive EOs and Democrat alternatives.
A fundraiser.
It’s disgusting really.
*cough* AOC *cough*
"The last time we won we talked about economic issues!". That was the last time you lost too!
Why do they even have jobs?
It's all a uniparty on behalf of donors, the political messaging is just to sell theatrical "values".
Not one executive order was made to protect our bill of rights and liberties of women ,the LGBTQ community , or to improve our immigration policies.Yet they worked hard to increase Wall Street profits.
So, again, what are YOU talking about?
YEP!
I honestly get the sense Hakeem is standing in the way of an actual resistance.
So now 2/3 of America that doesn’t like what Trump is doing have no party to turn to.
Did America vote for oligarchy? Project 2025? No, so fucking shout that.
The republicans consider us to be the enemy and we should act accordingly.
If it was, like eggs ok?
Or ask Pelosi for stock tips....
Democrats better start listening to the noise before it’s to late! Sticking your head in the sand will not save democracy!
That’s going to hinder the economic issues thing a bit, I think. 🤔

Tune out the noise and concentrate on the CONSTITUTIONAL issues.
Democratic Congressperson: I wonder how that will impact the price of eggs”?
They may not have the power to change anything right now but they need to tell the American people what is going on in plain, understandable language.
The party is so lame and weak right now. SMH.
The American people cannot strip the Democrats of all power and then scream at the Democrats to save them... again.
The American people voted for fascism. Now they are getting a fascist dictatorship.
Stop blaming the Dems. The American people did this.
We can be annoyed at the press releases and mouth noises they make while having no power, but it's perverse for the American people to blame the Democrats for the dissolution of the USA.
This is the attitude of a child. And, apparently, the American people.
Also critical: the “American people” who put him there is a very small plurality. That matters.
When messaging is your only tool, you have to use it well. And they aren't.
And via that system, the American people gave total power to Trump, who did not hide his fascism.
It's not obvious that messaging matters.
I'm not saying it is a good system. But it's the only one we have for conferring legitimacy.
No.
I will blame them and criticize them because I want them to do better.
Cuz if they don't I will find a different party to support. Someone that will fight.
The Dems don't have any power because the American people didn't give it to them. You want to Lamppost Fallacy your way to screaming at people who explicitly don't have power, that's on you.
And you care support 3rd parties if you don't know Duverger's Law.
Ask for more. Demand more, be specific, especially if you gave money to the Dems.
The Dems do have power, this is how they wield it.
GOP sure didn't let the whole "not being in power" stop them from derailing the Dems.
If you want to have a substantive conversation, you could tell me why those don't matter and thus people should continue to spend their energy attacking Democrats.
But you don't have to.
The Safe Choice candidates!
Thanks.
I didn't like any of em.
I still stan'd! After being told by people like u "this is the most important election! Fascism will happen!"when I brought my concerns about unlikable they are.
This conversation has caused me to reflect on the 20 years of defending the dems just like you are now.
They don't just GET my vote anymore.
I can guarantee Harris would not have called for ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Cool
I'm not.
I'm gonna encourage like minded people to ask for more from their reps.
That does not explain why the Dems did nothing to limit the power of the executive branch just in case they lost.
That doesn't explain the TOTAL LACK OF PLAN for right now.
Let’s see them go to the mat in the next weeks and months and I might revise my outlook on their lack of belly fire 🔥
Nope! Btw 2016-21, I asked media to cover fed. agencies. Nothing!
In 2025 we know better.
Follow it up with actions like no longer taking pac or corporate money & banning all members from trading stocks
Most importantly, imo, understand that the majority tuned out. Find new ways to reach them
@schumer.senate.gov
Are you kidding with that. Get out of the way and let AOC and the squad do this if you can’t see that we need more
The arrogance they showed ignoring inflation to worry about Gaza and other bullshit is what got them in trouble
Focus on things people can understand
Sounds reasonable to me
and that’s why it’s now a good strategy to ignore that trump is burning the country down, right. because people understand only the price of eggs.
Once a fascist always a fascist.
Have they learned nothing? MAGA has risen to power because they fight. Sure, they lie, but nobody would pay any attention to them if they didn't fight on everything, all of the time.
Wake the fuck up, Dem leaders. We need you to fight, fight, fight, on every issue, every day, all day.
Dem Leaders: Let's just ignore what actually works, and do some half-assed shit instead.
out the olds
no oaths after 70
there a lower limit
we can cut them off at twice that
Out the olds
people get old and slow and creaky and eventually need to get the fuck out of the way
thats fucking life
not making them GTFO is how we got here
They are okay with it all. Reality today is that it's not Red vs Blue, it's privilege/rich vs struggling/poor.
I'm not hearing ANY push back or inspiration from Dems.
In a company employees with this level of performance would be fired, or put somewhere they can do less damage. And that’s just for missing the quarterly sales target.
don't understand where we are at all.
losers.
This is actually embarrassing and risks the local support we have all over the country
Then again, Dems won the House in 2018 and the presidency in 2020, so maybe it wasn't ineffective?
“They are hurting your ability to beat Cancer AND wonky policy language to help economy (that Trump will take credit for.)”
Do they understand, and just think they’re right and we’re wrong?
I never liked Jeffries. Looks tough. Acts tough. Fake ass act.
