This is a good idea

Here's an idea... Find 5 veterans who have been fired by DOGE. Then say... Hi I'm Senator Elissa Slotkin. These 5 people who fought for our country were fired by billionaire dipshit Elon Musk. This is who Democrats are fighting for. So I'm going to hand it over to them to tell their stories. /1

Human reality is built on stories. The best storyteller wins. It really is that simple (if you want to make it). So Democrats have to show the American people the consequences of Donald's actions & tell the stories of the people acutely impacted by this detour to the apocalypse. https://youtu.be/i9If_4f_604

So true!

Also let them explain what they were doing for the Federal government that helps us viewers at home.

Blue sky has a plethora of options for Democrats to do.

Are they really even here? The ones with accounts i mean

Why isn’t our congressional leadership being smarter about all of this? They can hire people who are good at this.

Run them as candidates.

I pitched this idea to my representatives. Along with a program to puts roof over every homeless Veterans head for $900
Million, which was shot down by Rubio. Also. Recommended GMC Denalis over Teslas. But Rubio chose $400 million worth of Teslas Cyber Trucks. I' m trying to do my part. Frustrating

2/ In nonprofit fundraising, you focus on one child, one puppy, rather than the whole. “Can you help save little Bobby’s life?” will yield more than “Fight Children’s Cancer.” Same principal applies here. “Hi! Here’s your neighbor Joe and a rental truck, because he got fired…” yada. Messaging 101

dogsandkindness.bsky.social•10 hours ago

1/ We have to focus on real stories about real people. EVERY SINGLE DEM in Congress find constituents who have been affected and publicizing these stories.

the-chieftan.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Fired by Musk on orders from Trump. The 2 must always be tied together.

Veterans number roughly 6% of the US population. About 16 million people

rajesh23.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I am not sure if it will work. Recent polling indicates that 63% of vets support Trump, and 52% say what he is doing is the right thing. 26% say they are willing to sacrifice their jobs if it helps Trump's policies. It's calcified. No much will change. I respect Vets, but..

deepbluesea2016.bsky.social•10 hours ago

They are going to lose their VA healthcare too.

h8thelies.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Can I point out that polling was taken before the firings started. Before they found out, tfg was targeting them the whole time.

ny-scde04.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Great idea. Saw one yesterday who drove vets to appts. Shame.

Can someone please tell me why no elected Democrats nor their staff members have done anything remotely this smart?

greybirdmuse.com•10 hours ago

Huh. How about have current congress members and senators, plus state reps, hold town meetings with this message every week? Add D candidates running as well. Strange idea, right? 🤷‍♂️

tdb011235.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It's so good, no Dem leader will never do it.
May someone prove me wrong.

Alissa Slotkin got my vote and my money, but never again will she have my support. I will support any candidate or idea that opposes hers. She is the Fetterman of Michigan.

yourinnermonologue.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Exactly and explain this is why Trump and Elon are so out of touch is they've never had to work or serve their country etc....everything handed to them their whole lives, they don't see the consequences of doing these things

Dems will all wear pink on the same day instead.

davidgilbertvoiceover.com•4 hours ago

The current reality in the USA truly feels like while Trump and the GOP are actively lighting gasoline canisters in the house to burn it down, Democrats are stopping the firefighters from dousing the flames with water & just standing there watching the house burn!!!

Do you feel the same???

She is my Senator along with Gary Peters. I worked for her campaign in 18 and 2020. I have emailed, called, and left messages for both of them, and neither have responded.

mmk007.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Yes! We need to hear stories from real people! If you have one or know someone, connect them with the press or encourage them to write a letter to the editor !📑

unclechopperrip.bsky.social•8 hours ago

A PLAN FOR DEMS
Dems can "conscript" people like
@mcuban.bsky.social, George Clooney, Taylor Swift & @schwarzenegger.bsky.social to launch & promote it.
Ordinary people, especially those impacted by DOGE should also be involved.
A NAME? @avracadaver.bsky.social suggests
PROJECT ANTIFA 👍I like it.

thomasjheaney.bsky.social•2 hours ago

But nooooo, all the media wants to do is report on what Donald said and what Donald did and who Elon is cutting now and continues to frame it in a context that makes it seem normal to ramble on with this coup

pfinnsd.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Yes it is. JHC! Why can’t Dem leadership find someone with better ideas than little paddles and inappropriate decorum?

This is something elected Democrats or their paid advisors should be thinking up

Not the ordinary person on the street

chloerow.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I caught this live on YouTube today. They had fired veterans tell their stories, in their own words, at a press conference.

Yes, finally, someone gets it! We should be hearing from affected people instead of endless talking heads.

rimas127.bsky.social•10 hours ago

The thing is….those fired vets voted for this and are so deeply biased they likely will make excuses for getting fired.

otherguyfromwham.bsky.social•10 hours ago

I’m not sure something this goddamn obvious to everyone outside of Congress qualifies as an “idea”.

navyvet1972.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Do it do it do it

kgsbca.bsky.social•11 hours ago

it should be a good idea, until you remember that magats only care about themselves. There could be 10 million stories like that, and the only ones maga cares about is their own. They are trump.

but when they start losing their own jobs, health care, & homes, it will be different.

uofagrad97.bsky.social•10 hours ago

If it’s someone like them, it might get their attention.
They hate the other.

stephenbmd.bsky.social•9 hours ago

True about magats. But it was not just magats that voted for #Felon47 and #JVDunce. There are more than a few who can be persuaded to change their vote next time (if there is a next time).

daytonhawk72.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Tell you a secret. I am a Vietnam Vet. I organized a veterans group. Because not many folks understand what we have gone through. Understand 80% of them voted for Trump. It surprised me and to degree made me more depressed, I doubt many vets will stand up to Trump. I will!!!

sprather3.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Why do they vote for Trump?

daytonhawk72.bsky.social•23 minutes ago

You deserve a more responsive answer to your question. Those who voted for trump, didn’t like Biden,immigration policy , inflation, and the government in general . We didn’t talk much about politics because it was one of the boundaries I put in place, after the group went sideways, once ,.

daytonhawk72.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I haven’t a clue. I’m guessing they believe his bullshit

sprather3.bsky.social•8 hours ago

His bullshit is everywhere. We've got to find a way to beat back the gop propaganda machine.

serotta2.bsky.social•10 hours ago

The democrats should have given every one of their seats at the address to people burnt by Trump. Farmers who lost their jobs, fired federal workers, family members whose family have been unlawfully deported, people paying extra for their insulin and medication. Democrats plan, be strategic.

lpp2200.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Slotkin is smart but what we needed was fire

luckydev7.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Dems haven’t listened to a voter since before Clinton ran, if they did. They wouldn’t be this laughable bad at everything.

Slotkin praised Reagan so much that Nancy got jealous

inventreinvent.bsky.social•1 hour ago

I’ve seen some really great ideas here on Bluesky.

I hope some studious person on here with time to do it is coming through and making a list.
