Maybe it’s time for some former Republicans who know how to fight (Liz Cheney?) to take over the party with AOC and Crocker and Green and dump these pandering Dem insiders who only know how to talk platitudes and acquiescence
We got ONE GUY, Dems, willing to stand up for us.
Not hold a sign, wear pink, form a "task force," or make a phone call.
And other Dems voted to censure him (looking at you, Jared Moskowitz).
ONE GUY.
And y'all think we're gonna win in 2026.
Yeah, alright.
I really need a montage of people speaking up with the Dropkick Murphy song in the background. Of all the social media pairings, this seems to stir me the most. BostonTok has been good for my soul.
Called my reps today and said Al Green is the kind of fighter we as dem citizens are looking for. He understands the moment we are in. Said I was very disappointed in Jeffries admonishing dem reps and for dems participating in the censure of Green. I will vote accordingly.
When the only party is the Party of Trump, Al Green will loom large in the eyes of all those who should have could have done the same but did NOTHING.. COWARDS..
Exactly! Bleach-Blonde, Bad-Built, Butch Body didn't get censured for her f*cking outbursts when Biden was speaking to the joint session!
#F*ckMarjorieTrailorTrash
Disgusting the way republicans treated Green. Yet, during Biden's speech when he was president, republicans booed and yelled; Greene and Boebert made a loud spectacle of themselves. But, Biden handled it well, used humor. Trump is a weak leader. No spine.
It also dies in banality, stop lauding small news, ie: SCOTUS ruling, Elon status change etc. as wins. They really aren’t, keep up with calls, protests, participation in polling. Don’t take your foot off the gas.
I wish Dems would stop “playing nice”.
The other side doesn’t. We need to stop bringing butter knives to gun fights.
Bring Flamethrowers: they’re loud, scary and make lasting memories.
Will democrats ever GET this? You can still have principles and still fight when republicans kick dirt in your face. You don't give up principles....you fight for what's right. Instead, they vote for censure.....what incredibly ignorant people who represent no one at all.
To the right of Eisenhower Nixon Reagan bush Sr. Bush Jr. and dick Cheney. Failed to do anything for women 79 93 09 20 had absolute power. Trifectas. Threw the lgbtq under the bus before trump & now. Next up, they'll go to the right of Trump. Collaborators.
Rep. Green is a true American patriot, unlike the scabs who voted to censure him. Fuck you Suozzi and moskowitz. Two huge losers. Let’s Trump have them both.
Instead of every single democrat walk out after the way they ousted Green, some had the nerve to vote to censure him, and we ask ourselves why the fuck we keep losing? Grow a pair mother fuckers
It seems nowadays perfectly fine to silence a representative of the people speaking his mind over presidential lies, but questioning his faculties is perfectly fine and allowed to be echoed by sordid media.
We have a profound lack of leadership and no agreed on strategy. Sadly, half the party thinks we should "moderate" while less than a third want us to become more liberal.
Exactly. I’m a pubic hair away from changing my registration from d to I! They’ve been too passive allowing the GOP to break so many laws placing us at fascism’ door. Then they blame the voters and ask us for money.

Sadly, the party is split. I believe moderates could swing left if a progressive leader offered a unifying vision, but that will be a tough needle to thread
It's showing how tone deaf a certain 10 dems are
They wanna play by these rules of diplomacy that don't fucking exist anymore. And we didn't break them
10 years we been the republican punching bags and I for one am over it
I beeeeen tired of they if they go low we go high method
Fuck start swinging
You’ll never know what it’s like to be a decent person and stand up to a fascist regime, like rep Al Green did. Also, I voted, no matter who didn’t, I deserve to be represented! You can STFU!
We've plunged into a fascist autocracy that will negatively affect millions here and around the world, and those ten Democrats, along with the perpetually cruel and disgraceful Republicans, are worried about decorum? It's clear that they'd rather focus on minutia than work on saving our country.
It’s not easy bein’ Al Green
When it seems there’s no one else who will intervene
And all your colleagues seem determined
To keep “decorum”
Or just hold up very small signs
Then quietly slink away 🎶
Such a shame!The American people voted for a person with no decorum and without a filter…and it didn’t matter to them???!!! Just another example of the double standard!!
Marcy Kapter is the congresswoman in my district. I am an independent not a democrat. Kapter will not receive my future support. The democrats told us that night people are on their own.
Agreed, but walking a fine line. IMHO Trump is just itching for a reason to declare an emergency & institute martial law if things get too rambunctious…Resist, but peaceably.
The Marquess of Queensbury Democrats had better smarten up. This is a bloody street fight. Your hair and nails will be messed. Lead or get the hell out of the way.
Using decorum as a crutch cause they are afraid of this newly developing government. They aren’t trying to stop it, they are trying just to hide from it. Most of the dems have gone into self preservation mode. They should be organizing mass protests, but just no backbone
Agreed. They really don’t know how to protest properly. I’m Canadian 🇨🇦and was embarrassed for them. They need to see Canadian or British parliamentarians verbally duke it out in the House of Commons. Polite my ass
I can only wish. I have seen the British parliament in action, albeit on television. Rude and discourteous give opinions and contributions life. This is the shot in the arm that Dems really need.
It’s not unusual to see parliamentarians ejecting from the house for breaches of parliamentary procedure. Like toddlers in a sandbox some days It can be quite entertaining. They still manage to get things done.
MAGA wins because they vote and speak in lock step even if they know the message is a lie. Democrats are too smart for their own good and analyze every subject. Democrats need a good 5 paragraph essay for the public and teachers who reach out to the pissed off public. Paper flyers. Stickers. Zines.
Anyone who thinks it’s disrespectful to the office to confront the president for his behavior, but somehow not disrespectful to nominate and vote for a convicted felon, rapist, insurrectionist to hold the office really needs to just sit down and be quiet
The world has a big spot light shining on the USA.
I'm hearing a lot of previously Democrat MEN denouncing the party for not 'DOING SOMETHING'! As if it was Dems who elected MAGA. What are podcasting Dem bro's doing?🙄
Rep Green stood up and said " you don't have a mandate to cut Medicare". What's wrong with that? He didn't shout "liar" or any of the rude shouts by MTG and Boebert did to Obama and Biden. Trumps insults Democrats and everyone blames Dems. Gosh, I guess you were wrong to vote for him.
For the 10 DEMs who voted to censure Al Green, GET LOUD - STAY LOUD - SHOW UP! Be angry but take action. If you can’t go to their offices, CALL AND CONFRONT!
Exactly! For the 10 DEMs who voted to censure Al Green, GET LOUD - STAY LOUD - SHOW UP! Be angry but take action. If you can’t go to their offices, CALL AND CONFRONT!
Dems had a chance on Monday evening, and they blew it. They should have all done what Rep. Al Green did - IMHO. On top of that, ten of them voted with republicans to censure him. 🤦♂️
I am sort of tired of the Dems always having to be the good guys. No one in the party are giving me any kind assurance that they are strong enough to do anything, that’s for sure.
Al Green gets escorted out with no Democrats following him. Only to turn around and have 10 Democrats vote with Republicans to censure him. I don't know about the rest of you but I am beyond outraged
These need to go: In the end, 10 Democrats backed the measure: Reps. Ami Bera (Calif.), Ed Case (Hawaii), Jim Costa (Calif.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jim Himes (Conn.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).
Can you find just one person with some authority who is speaking about what needs to happen to remove trump? Abstract, hypothetical, whatever. People need to have some hope that this regime can be ended - that we're not just waiting to die from hunger, disease, natural disaster & war.
I donated to Rep Green to show my support. We need more to step up and stop worrying about taking the high road. Dems need to get down and dirty like the Republicans.
Take a note @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social I've been voting for you for YEARS. I have extolled and defended your Democratic qualities on Soc media and in talk with friends.Get that Dem backbone straight and stand against what is wrong! Some of your constituents are righteously pissed!!
The DNC & Dem candidates got an inordinate amount of 💰from me last year but since the loss in Nov they’ve been MIA. Their response to the insanity of Trump & MAGA has been invisible to the majority of us. Damnit, FIGHT!
To quote the enemy, “If you don’t fight like hell you won’t have a country.”
I could think of better options off the top of my head. Although you probably can't get a box of rats into the building with what I assume is tight security.
I 100% support Senator Al Green. Screw decorum. His message was reasonable and strong, and there is no mandate and I am so very proud of him. Shame on those who did not walk out with him and those who voted to censure him.
The State Of The Union is delivered by a sitting President after the completion of one year in office. The idea being. Tell the country & inform citizens of the STATE OF THE COUNTRY!!!
Why was this madman allowed to deliver this only after 40 days??? Why did Democrats attend?? Why didn’t they walk?
Lately, we see Trump sitting in the Oval with a stack of black binders. Proclamations!! He calls them. People have to come to terms with a fact. This is a man that cannot read or write & is illiterate.He’s suffering from mental disease & basically handed a rattle to play with. He is gone.
Yes but who didn’t see it coming? Why would the limp Democrats give him the chance to insult them rather than just reject it & tell him to shove it. Can’t escape the BS even on U Tube.
I’m not sure exactly what page that was on in Project 2025, but it was absolutely telegraphed. The democrats can’t/won’t respond to any of this nonsense cause they refuse to take off the gloves and fight dirty. They STILL refuse to listen to their constituents and that will be their demise
When they go low, the dems should to get *LOUD*. The lower, the louder.
Instead of those silly signs, it should’ve been air horns and vuvuzelas to out side-show the side-show and demonstrate how nothing about this fiasco is normal or acceptable.

If you want to reach out to them and let them know what your weekend plans are, you can reach them here.
#F*ckMarjorieTrailorTrash
For this, the right thing was for Dems to UNITE in support of Green & f*ck decorum.
The future favors the bold so you have to shatter outdated traditional roles. Stop being scared Dems.
The other side doesn’t. We need to stop bringing butter knives to gun fights.
Bring Flamethrowers: they’re loud, scary and make lasting memories.
We dems need a lot more like him !!
I’ll take one Al Green for 10 Hakeem Jeffries !

FIGHT DAMMIT
I can't qwhite put my finger on it.🤔

Every single Democrat should have walked out with Al Green.

Democracy dies when people are too lazy to vote.
Dems are Diet Nazis.
THAT WOULD HAVE SENT A MESSAGE TO MAGA AND TRUMP CRONIES.

Better yet, put AOC in Schumer‘s seat, and Raskin and Crockett can rule the house !
