We keep having the same fights because the same fights haven't been won. We have more points of view than does MAGA, and everyone believes their favorite cause is the most important one. I submit, however, that the MOST important cause, above everything, is the ability to guide our own path! Resist!
Because it keeps us all from the fight we actually need to make, against the haves. They keep regurgitating the same fights to keep us separated and not focusing on them.
Because the system itself, capitalism, keeps these fights going. The only permanent way to end it is for humanity to transition out of capitalism into socialism.
That’s the way it always has been and always will be. It is a constant struggle between good and evil. Forever and ever. Rest up. Get back in the fight.
I didn’t call half the country evil, that’s your bs strawman version of what I’m saying. I’m saying there will always be people trying to grab more power and oppress people, etc. and the fight against that will always need to be waged.
I can easily stand behind forcing ten year old girls who were raped by their fathers, to give birth to incest rape babies, evil. I can easily stand behind calling people arming and funding a genocide evil.
Not sarcastic one bit. I don’t believe in Evil in a biblical sense, but definitely in a colloquial sense. I can easily stand behind calling Nazis evil. I can easily stand behind calling the demonization of immigrants and trans people, evil.
Maybe you can enlighten me then. What gender is a person who has a vagina, and can give birth, but has XY chromosomes, or a person who has a penis and testicles but has XX chromosomes?
The DEMs are the greater fascism, they just maxed-out the evil meter with a genocide, hon.
They are NOT our friends, they protect the GOP but pretend they're on our side, and AOC is a prime example of phony resistance.
Democrats are in no way greater fascists than the GOP and their allies. Trump and his ilk are full-on fascists. Ask Germany what they think of the felon and his administration.
I believe the last time the line is used is in Endgame, when they arrive to help Cap at the moment of the big battle, when he's struggling against Grimace.
The perfect example of how Dems frame themselves as losers, choosing a sacrificial hero narrative over being a winner. Before the sacrifice we can go on late night shows, joke around, displace anger and feel relieved that at least someone else gets it.
That’s not how that works. The war was against Germany and its allies. There were treaties. It finally ended in 1990 with the reunification of Germany.
You are a truly mentally ill person. Your response is “kill yourself”. I had to look this up because I had never seen it outside of blue sky…. Karma will come for you. 🇮🇱
And then what? Is there a Constitutional section on removal for cheating? And please don’t say Impeachment because we will never have the votes. GOP will never give up their new found power. They have no morals and even less “guts” to take on the regime
We need to drop this. Even if it's proven, what recourse is there? There is no process in the constitution to recall a president, and in the event of the president and VP being removed, appointment of a new one falls to Congress (house deciding the president, senate the VP, as a bloc of states).
Agreed. We do not want fascism! Protests work in large numbers. Maybe we will have to pick a date soon and protest everywhere that fascism has no place in America and they need to charge him as a traitor! He admitted to rigging the election.
Protest no longer work. Since the media won’t cover them, they don’t “exist.” National work strikes do. When the wage slaves stop producing, the oligarchs pay attention.
May 1st is May also known as international worker’s day. We used to “celebrate” it as Labor Day by striking until our government moved it to September and gave us the first Monday off!
I attended a protest in DC against the Gulf War with a million others. The American media didn’t come, only foreign press. War had war anyway. Been there, don’t that. Until it makes the ruling class lose money, they ignore it.
Protests are ineffective. That ship sailed. The media will ignore them and the administration will arrest en masse. I'm sorry but that isn't the way anymore. I don't know what is.
Gotta keep the protests up. They need to be mass protests now and more of them. #50501 did a good start! Extended strikes and boycotts I’m talking months long. Or more. If you can’t do that, be the help and support the people that can.
Protests are the least effective strategy. They only work if they have massive participation and are sustained. The concept is called momentum of dissent. We can organize strike funds for strikes. There’s also a set of strategies I don’t hear/see others discussing. They are called pillar strategies
We need to figure out what other “good trouble” might work here and now to move beyond single day protests. I have been asking people to start by becoming familiar with the 3.5% rule. Then we all need to bounce it around.
Yep!! Mass protests. #50501 was a good start. Extended boycotts and strikes. Civil disobedience!! Malicious compliance (read up on what the military did about being renamed, again, Fort Bragg) we need people on the front lines and people on the back end supporting them!!
There's also other ways he could permanently be removed from office but I don't see that happening. For some reason it's only good people that it happens to. IDK but fear cent be an option. And people will protest if he starts taking More things away.
See I guess I'm not afraid. And I think if literally every Democrat got out there they couldn't arrest everyone. But it would take a lot of people. There are other ways. A nationwide strike. The boycott of Trump endorsed businesses and companies that remove DEI. To get Congress to say no to Trump.
It's true, if every Democrat goes out, they can't arrest everyone, but if all you do is protest, they'll wait until the crowds scatter home and nothing will change.
We are no longer in the time of protest. Unless you want neo-Nazi america, it's time for us to depose the oligarchy by guillotine.
Researchers have tried to figure out what the best strategy is because protests are only effective if they are massive and sustained. I wrote about this earlier. One study found a pillar strategy to be more effective than the historical record&worked better than mass protests with fewer participants
I agree but it'd be hard to get this msg across to everyone. Most people are too afraid of losing their jobs. It would take almost every Democrat to be on board with this. I'm just ready to see some bravery from everyone, not cowardice. I get the fear, but other countries do it when shits not right
In America, people fear their government. In France, the government fears the people. The difference is organized labor and why Republicans killed unions here.
Research is a great place to find information. For example, one research suggests focusing on a positive coalition (pro-democracy) as opposed to just a negative coalition (anti-fascism). Also one day large protest aren’t very effective. There’s something called “momentum of dissent”.
1 thing about me. I will fight Nazis and sexual predators again like I'm back in prison doing another 10 years. Until I'm Six feet deep. Just so my daughter can move around the world freely. I'm with you @aoc.bsky.social
Girl, you don't stand up to Nancy Pelosi, how are you going to go toe to toe with Nazis?
I wish you'd leave that abusive relationship with the DNC and head up a party for the people.
Hey Nancy Pelosi will be out of politics sooner than later. If she could get the younger Gen’s out of the console she will become a power house— full stop. BTW she is right on track. ( my opinion )
In the words of James Baldwin, "It's taken my father's time, my mother's time, my uncle's time, my brothers' and my sisters' time. How much time do you want for your progress?"
Pelosi will be in a wheelchair on the floor of the Senate before she lets go of power.
But then the Dems primary them out of their seats. They have been chipping away at the squad since they banded together for progressive movement. We need age limits instead of term limits. The old guard…and I do mean old…needs to go.
The DNC defunded the Nevada Dems when progressives took over the party in that state. It's shameful, but not surprising for a party whose platform now resembles that of the RNC circa 1996.
AOC will not be welcomed into the communist people’s party for reasons listed above. She will not challenge the status quo and/or do anything else which is been proven over the decade. What is she gonna do go to met gala?
She is proof that the DNC cannot be changed from the inside. The DNC would rather pull funding from states than see progressives in charge (see Nevada). Change is never going to happen electing neoliberals.
When left coalitions fracture right wing parties tend to win. There’s numerous examples of this. Trump has actually shown us how a revolutionary, nativist faction can take over an entire political party.
Yeah. What’s needed now is strategic essentialism. The reason the right are winning all over is that they (broadly) have the good sense to get in line and agree with each other until they’re actually in the big chair.
That's not how it works. People gotta head up their own party. But "the people" truly don't care enough in the imperial core at this point in history to do that.
Hey, some of us are trying. I'm participating in my local DSA chapter. I don't know if it's likely a workers party can rise from the ashes, but at least we're trying something, and it does give me more hope than the geriatric establishment Dems suddenly being anything other than abysmal.
I commend you for doing the work - I really do. It's just so disheartening to see how many ride or die neoliberals there are doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Liberals will open the door to fascists and then blame everyone else for it.
Trump lowering taxes on working class individuals? Don't kid yourself... he's doing the same shit Reagan did, cut taxes on those who don't need it, and let them hoard more money than they know how to spend.
I always want to tell my parents, “what would your WWII vet father who fought in Germany, Austria and Poland say about you not denouncing Mai behavior?” I don’t think they’d be proud. In fact, I know they wouldn’t be. 100% certain.
All day I hear liberal/socialist/alternative Bay Area CA friends condemn Nazis and related behavior, express hatred, warn of danger, remind us of history.
I’ve not heard any of my conservative/republican friends or family say anything at all. They even give excuses.
We need to get out there. If I'm the only one with a sign? Guess I'm getting shot at or arrested. Welp! (That's why we need to pick a date a stick with it. Problem is organizing where to meet in each city...)
Fortunately I live in a town safe for this. You can organize on social media, connect with like-minded people. Maybe a nearby town if necessary. Mine has a huge percentage who will take any opportunity to march, protest or have a walk-out. So proud. Already had a Woman’s March just before MLK Day.
A family member related to 1 grandfather (3 war veteran: WWII, Vietnam, Korea) was initially thought to be on that flagpole. Other grandpa was in the navy during d day but wasn’t a part of the invasion. Nazi fighting heros.
Every day is punch a Nazi in the face day, make Nazis scared again
Exactly! People need to remember how our grandparents fought a horrible frightening war against fkg nazis, sacrificing their lives to keep all of safer by giving their life, and then this country elects a nazi loving president. More than shameful, its a total betrayal.
It also doesn't help that a lot of them aren't there to make any kind of stand on principles.
If you see someone on the left side of the aisle that is "great friends" with people on the right, then anything they say to the public is just performance politics.
No kidding. Didn't you tell everyone your boss was working tirelessly for a ceasefire while voting to send more bombs to the state committing a genocide on a civilian population?
When will you understand that Putin has been working with Iran and Hamas to distort the truth about the war in Gaza, just as he does to distort the truth in US politics and around the world. Facts suck when Jew hatred consumes you. The only genocide in this conflict was the one intended by Hamas. 👇🏼👇🏼
Her “boss” are the people in Queens and the South Bronx who elected her. Biden was the president, whom she pressured to stop sending arms to Israel and who told her he was working toward a ceasefire (and was). Netanyahu is the criminal who triangulated US politics and committed genocide.
Then they're getting a bum deal since none of that came to pass and the guy she threw her effort behind was lying on behalf of that genocidaire while also giving the genocidaire the war materiel he was very obviously using to perpetrate said genocide.
We sold them the arms and lauded him as a head of state when the ICC had convicted him of war crimes. They’re all to blame, and should be held accountable.
Which is why when you pass we will ressurect your mind and put it in a 3.7m tall 12t mecha, to get you back to what you do best, smash the foes of democracy. Duty Eternal AOC! 🫡
If there must be a presidential library for him by law or whatever, make it something more akin to a Holocaust museum. Seems like we're headed that way.
His name is trademarked so "We the people" would have to pay a fee to have his name on his library or a street ect. Just put his shit in the Trump Tower basement
The older Dems are still working under the antiquated idea of bipartisanship. All the older Dems used to have nice lunches with their Rep friends. They had a hard time believing Rep are going to sit back and let the Orange Reich hang them.
Oh its relatively young, and brand new, ones too. My new House rep voted for Laken Riley. One of her top people is part of my extended family. I messaged him to express my disappointment. The answer I got was about being bipartisan. About focus studies about what her republican constituents want.
The newer Dems it's either naivete or being oppprtunists like Fetterman. The older Dems failed to see when McConnell roadblocked Obama that was the death of bipartisanship and it isn't coming back. And now Rep will not save Dems when the Orange Reich comes for them.
I had to remind him that those constituents didnt vote for her in 2024 and wont in 2 years. Her republican constituents want people like her in prison or dead. 13 million blue voters stayed home is 2024 because of bipartisanship. Bipartisanship is the mental illness afflicting Dems.
There is nothing by bipartisan about somebody who wants you dead
Those are not the people who represent me in Congress.
What’s crazy is that? I think my ideas are antiquated and I am nowhere near 90 years old
My sentiment exactly!
Nancy Pelosi should have trained an army of capable youngsters instead of running again. Diane Feinstein died in office in her 90s ffs!
Sorry to say it, but if you break a hip after a fall; you're too damn old to be in office. I hate these people trying to hang onto their office & power. We need new blood that's going to forget the rules of decorum & fight back. The R's don't fight or play by the rules unless it helps their agenda.
Also - if you can't get toliet paper off your shoe... and if you can't form coherent sentences ... and if you can't pronounce the united shersh !!...
just sayin !!
She mentored Hakeem Jeffries. I mean at least she passed the Speaker torch. The House isn’t as bad as the Senate. Schumer is weak, Durbin is weak…they are not fighters.
That will not save it. It is sick from the inside with the disease of capitalism and corruption. The parties are the same, white nationalist, white supremacist machine, only used to quiet one side of the population or the other. There is not one respectable politician in office In America.
You disagree with what? I literally just said they have no clue and are probably going to arrested eventually. Doesn't matter financially who is backing them in a fascist regime.
I think this is all Putins plan. Musk bought the win for Trump and controls him. Trump is a pawn unknowingly sowing division and creating distractions so Putin can attack and Musk can take his place
They are no less fascist. The old ones are likely the worst. What have they done for women, for people of color and for immigrants in the last 50 years? Token offerings to keep the peace, no real move toward equanimity and freedom, just more lies.
Hell yeah, sister! I wish more folks in Congress also felt that way. Unfortunately, the GOP has become the home of the modern Nazis party and many Democrats are too afraid to do the right thing.
You don’t have to break the law to resist! If you see somebody serving Trump, drag your feet, miss the light, take your time they’re behind you in line! Frustrate them at every turn! Do not be kind and courteous! If they order alcohol ask to see ID then question the validity of their ID! Frustrate!
What we NEED is a Democrat to submit a resolution to IMPEACH that son of a bitch and get him removed! Do NOT tell me we don't have the votes! That is no reason to not TRY! Plenty of Republicans have said that pardoning the J6 CLANSMEN was grounds for IMPEACHMENT!!!
A. We tried that twice already and he came back bigger and stronger
B. We have even less chance now than we did then to get that voted through Congress.
Tried and failed. The only thing that we can do now is use the referendum to end citizens united and excise foreign interference/influence in our politics.
We know you will always fight for us AOC, but you and Jasmine can't do it all. Your weak Dem colleagues are as much the problem as above law republicons. Musk rigged election and NO FIGHT Harris doesn't investigate JFC man
This!! How the Dems have silently rolled over when there are so many reasons the election results are suspicious at best, I will never understand. It’s a disgrace.
It's not the lack of evidence. There was no evidence that Obama was not born in the US, but Trump never let up on his nonsense. it's the acceptance of the results with zero pushback. Given the complaints about the 2020 voting and the tight margin, why assume that Trump and Musk played fair?
Be better than your adversary. There's zero evidence of voting fraud. There's overwhelming evidence of a campaign built on lies and a lazy media that normalized a drift into fascism. There's also real crimes happening every minute with this regime.
Yeah, I was raised on the whole 'Batman doesn't stoop to the Joker's level' mindset, and I normally would follow it. But this ain't comic books, these sociopaths and narcissists are not fooling around. This is a 'by any means necessary' time.
Support good Dems in Congress at 202.224.3121 and start preparing for 2026! Find local candidates to back or consider running yourself. Filing is easier than you think—visit https://nass.org/can-I-vote for links to your state election office and get started today!
Silk Road even had assassins for hire and a weapons section. Anything illegal or you couldn’t get in certain places. A lot of immoral things. Not just drugs.
Every election feels like we are going nowhere. The Dems are mostly an unlikable party full of conservative dinosaurs, with the few progressive and truly left-wing people getting pushed to the sidelines. No other country in the world would consider that party to be left-wing. How can we change?
Instead of prioritizing the welfare of our citizens, we're prioritizing the welfare of our corporations. We're probably the only country in the world where our populace is individualistic and selfish enough to not see the collective benefits of taking care of all of us instead of only the rich.
And by our own welfare I mean tax-paid universal healthcare, childcare support for our families, sick leave for our workers, long paid parental leave, long vacations, salary negotiations through strong unions, tax-paid free universities with universal stipends.
To be honest, the only time I've felt hope was in Obama's first election. But, even though he had two terms and a few good things were done, too little of significance was done after all. The status quo remained.
Wonderful things can be done in this country if we stop disparaging our own welfare.
Rise up and start a revolution. People need to wake up the fact that all this terrorizing and fearmongering of minority groups is done on purpose to fragment society against each other, distracting from the real issue of class disparity to make you unlikely to fight back for yourselves.
Can you draw a parallel in history to the kind of revolution that you're thinking about? What are the channels (legal, peaceful) in this country available for profound and effective change?
Peaceful revolution is the preferable option, but it that doesn't work then there's not much choice left except the violent way or giving up. There were a few peaceful revolutions in past century, I don't know whether such examples would work in US, it all depends.
The US is a large consumer market. We can have a big effect by simply not consuming what they offer. I wish there were more unions in this country so we could affect the means of production as well as in more civilized countries. We're the 99%, after all, and the oligarchs are nothing without us.
That's the problem, society is too fragmented to form a united front against the ruling class, because they rigged the system that way and have been doing it for decades. What do you think why has there been a decline in unions and working class quality of live in general?
I think violence is never an option, as it will make any change illegitimate and contested by the losing side. And in case of defeat, it will make repression of any further (even peaceful) attempts justified to the eyes of the government supporters.
Violence contributed to the end of feudalism, same will most likely happen for capitalism, it's the way human nature works. To say that violence never changed anything for the better is historically not true, plenty of such examples. You try peacefully first, of course. Violence is the last resort.
Join the Working Families Party! It’s a third party that works somewhat with democrats to not split tickets but fights for those progressive values. I think now is a real chance for a third party
A constitutional republic would not work with more than two parties. Switching to a parliamentary system is the only method for multi party government.
Ye of little imagination. Instead of immediately shutting down at the idea why not engage some curiosity and see what people are doing? This attitude of throwing up hands in defeat before even engaging a little bit is how we got here
I have a life bro. Anyway the answer is start small, win local elections with this new third party until the influence is large enough to run state then federal.
Me too! My Mom fought Nazis in Holland, has a medal for her bravery. And now I'm fighting Trump. I'm Canadian, but his followers (Evangelical christians) are gaining political momentum here too (PP their leader), we need to stop them big time!
Trump's Fundamentalist & white supremacist GOP believe women only exist for male pleasure & reproduction.They fear gender differences & sexual orientation. They blame immigrants, POC, trans, gays & minorities for national problems. Like the NAZIs, Trump co-opted religion to push their agenda.
THIS. it's terrifying. look at Minsks post making jokes about Nazis. about sick evil ppl.these ppl are NORMALIZING being Nazis. IN AMERICA. they want to redo ww2 except they intend to be the VILLIANS instead of the HEREOS. it's worse than disgusting.
Is Congress ever going to do something? Trump is dismantling the justice department. The Supreme Court has given him immunity for official acts. Anything can be considered official acts. Congress needs to do their job.
Socialism with American Characteristics is the easiest thing ever since it's fundamentally just demanding that we for once live up to the values we claim to uphold and revere. That's it. Socialism itself originated from the exact same Age of Enlightenment primordial stew as America.
Because we're being divided over manufactured culture wars to prevent us from gaining solidarity among the working class. My theory that I've started doing is replacing scary leftist sounding words with direct equivalent Enlightenment language that the scary leftist words originate from anyway.
Actually in the end Nazis couldn't have any chance of winning because their purpose was divisive and destructive. If nobody else had beaten them they would have gone on and on ruining the lives of the people under Nazi rule.
This. I don't remember the exact passage, but in the Star Wars Darth Bane trilogy it is acknowledged that the Dark Side will always consume itself in the end. I read it as a kid, but that idea has only been really sticking with me since Trump.
This realization was the reason for the Rule of Two that Vader and Palpatine are part of. Spread the Dark Side out among many and too many betrayals and backstabs weakens them. We're already seeing this with Trump's administration and it just started.
lol, haven’t you learned that calling half of the United States nazis is one of the reasons the democrats lost. But I guess name calling is all the democrats can do
You can choose to do the American thing any time you decide to. You swore an oath to defend the very Constitution that Trump is actively, right now, trying to change by decree without a Constitutional Convention. That’s a violation of your oath, sir.
I’m not making the connection to how I’m violating my oath but you are the first person not to call me a nazi so for that I thank you. I agree the president is using similar logic as people who want take guns away violating the 2nd. That was written when ARs weren’t around. 14th to protect slaves
My argument is derived from Enlightenment principles—the very intellectual framework that underpins the U.S. Constitution. The Enlightenment emphasized reason, the rule of law, individual rights, and limits on the concentration of power.
Your oath as a veteran was sworn to uphold the Constitution, which embodies these ideals. Now consider Trump’s executive action targeting birthright citizenship. It contradicts the constitutional structure by sidestepping the democratic process necessary for amending or redefining constitutional
Buddy, do you not see the Nazis next to Musk doing 100% the exact same salute? Facts don't care about your feelings, if you support that you're a Nazi supporter whether you like it or not. Full stop. It's a choice you're actively making to be associated with Nazis. You can choose not to. Thats valid
lol it’s hardly half the country. More people chose to not vote at all than to vote for your precious pumpkin Palpatine. 90 million to be exact. We’ve listened to you say FJB for 4 years. Please shut the fuck up and go back to meta or twitter and worship your nazis over there.
I mean, I mainly saw the comparison with Harris and Obama, and also I swear I've seen Musk fans use the same video to push the "everyone raise their arm like that" line.
I can respect that you weren't, but if you hasn't told me I would not have realised.
Maybe democrats should become the third party then. We trail because we waffle on things that matter. Our struggles are between the haves and have nots. The democratic party has moved too far away from this.
Democrats have had enough votes to win amd done nothing of significance with it.
Give a party that doesn't allow its members to be bribed the same opportunity and let's see what can be done when people with actual values have a chance to call the shots.
Idk 3rd party has never held a major seat in any district I've lived in.
You know does?!
Reps and Dems and they are who I will blame.
Biden didn't do shit to protect us. He could have pushed to limit executive power. We both know that is among the only fucking thing that coulda saved us.
No, I must disagree. The Dems have been trying to 'out conservative' the GOP since 2012 and now they sound more like bush era Republicans.
This is a losing strategy and I'm not gonna support it.
Dems need to reinvent themselves, NOW.
Pelosi refusing to fix the inside trading.
We can do better.
I know it's unnecessary and I'm sorry to "well actually" you, but a sling in a capable hand would kill someone with a knife before they had the opportunity to engage.
If the Citizens of S KOREA stood up for Democracy& WON,What the HELL is STOPPING us? Time to RISE UP PEOPLE! WE WILL NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE & WE DAMN SURE WON'T BOW DOWN to a 34 Count Convicted 2X IMPEACHED 5X Indicted Draft Dodging Insurrectionist Leading Lying Adjudicated Rapist Racist FELON!
Would you rather have someone you agree with 40% of the time representing you, or someone you agree with 2% of the time? Manchin and Sinema are that 40%. They may be sellouts and idiots in other respects, but they aren't dehumanizing people just because they're trans or gay.
What is stopping "us" is the fear that you were outnumbered to get into this situation in the first place.
Couple that with the ridiculous infighting about who's "left," "liberal," or whatever. You are all name-calling.
You are all shitposting on the internet in an attempt to look like... something
I was attacked by one at the oregon state capital while the cops watched me knock him on his ass. They refused to arrest him. Jeremy Roberts went on to break into the state capital a few weeks later.
Let your cops know we know they are the nazis.
End impunity Abolish qualified immunity
Hamas is not the wealthiest US Citizen and close friend of the president who has been publicly promised significant access and influence in the U.S. government.
It’s a shame other democrats aren’t doing the same and are approving trumps cabinet picks. What the f is wrong with them ? I don’t buy the spin they dish out about pick your battles neither. None of them should be given democrat approval.
Wtf I didn't know that. I figured he got confirmed strictly along party lines. However I doubt Collins and Murkowski would have voted no if it would have actually made a difference
Even after I'm in the ground, I will continue to fight Nazis as a ghost and/or zombie. I'll donate my body to scientific research aimed at eliminating Nazis. 'Merica.
Good...but what about simply upholding the constitution? You know article 14 section 3. Didn't members of Congress take an oath to uphold the constitution??
exactly right ? why weren’t steps taken before right ?
they had 4 yrs to and access to information we never could have received -
yet when we thought they knew what to do to stop this in the first place from happening — they did ABSOLUTELY nothing.
ex: garland not getting dismissed
your sentiment is appreciated, it would make many of us feel a lot better if other dems could be convinced to stop trying bipartisan junk and focus on stopping what's coming as much as physically possible. thank you. 🫡
no need to be like that. yes I agree that they don't do enough, but all this downer talk helps no one. let's all do our best personally and keep bugging the dems to do their jobs instead of tearing each other down.
I have been doing that before the shit hit the fan.
It was my only raison d’être since 2020!
There is no getting through to them.
I am not optimistic. Unless we replace them with people who understand the moment we are in.
I agree with you. It’s also our responsibility to contact our reps and let them know what we expect from them. For the message to truly get across we have to put in some work.
That because they're trying to be centralist in a fascist regime! Dems are going to be leaking as many votes as the gop are. Perfect time for a 3rd party
I got scolded/questioned over bot status because i said no one represents us. Politicians, unions, nada. With campaign financing "laws" money runs the show. The fastest way would go thru a set 3rd party (like the green party) but make sure voters know your stances? Jill Stein aint gonna win so..
Amen. I think a 3rd party can work. I think the last 8 yrs it could have (even more this last election) and I think it could win this 2028. @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @lizcheney.bsky.social and the other libs that actually voted for a living wage can pool together with small voter groups
and then expand over these next 4 yrs. Work for the native American vote, the Palestine voter. unions, etc and try to find people to run in govenor races, Senate, congress. All of it. Anyone who doesn't play stock in Congress and walks the walk.
A good appeal for solidarity could potentially pull the disaffected trumpers away from the cult... but that's a massive uphill fight. If we were to look at them politely, they know things are fucked up and they want reform, but they got suckered.
But the odds of another fair election aren't good.
Agree. I think even house and senate. True equality. Dems against dems. Gop to gop. Seats triple (with 3rd party included) Except for presidency, governor, mayors. Including having even supreme court seats. Voted on by only the party.
I never thought for a second he was shittalking. If I did, I wouldn't have been railing against him as much as I was. He's an evil, crazy, angry, vindictive Hitler wannabe.
Yes. I know he's a puppet, but he's still a charismatic puppet. He has the clout but not the intelligence nor the wit, and that's why he's a wannabe and not an actual Hitler. Hitler, that evil SOB was not only charismatic but intelligent, and that's what made him so dangerous. Trump is Temu Hitler.
I agree that trump and his thugs are much less intelligent than the Nazis and definitely less organized and efficient (fortunately, for this era). Trump is only charismatic to a minority and apathy played a bigger part in his election as did the tossing of ballots, apparently.
That’s one of the things I like about you…. Fucking up Nazis (figuratively, physically, metaphorically, physically, intellectually, physically, and physically) is ALWAYS a good thing.

Vidal Sassoon along with other Jewish servicemen belonged to an anti-fascist org. called the 43 Group in post war London who would break up far right meetings. Apparently Vidal's M.O. was punching in the face. Not to bad and much respect for celebrated hairdresser.
You can go right ahead and try to use calm, rational logic on the Nazis.
And then, when you're out of the hospital, and they have taken all the wires that were holding your jaw together out, we'll have a baseball bat with nails in for you to pick up and fight with.
I tried to get AI to generate it for me. Epic fail. Then I showed my daughter and asked her if she could do it and she knocked it out of the park. I had it professionally printed and framed and I'm waiting for a slow weekend to hang it in my home office wall.

People you don't agree with, aren't "evil", just as you aren't "good".
This is a logic found on the side of "evil" as you so nicely called more than half of your countrymen.
I find it more evil, to tell women that they are only a mental state, like their body and the last many 1000 years never happened. This i find evil.
But you do you.

They are NOT our friends, they protect the GOP but pretend they're on our side, and AOC is a prime example of phony resistance.
The scale tops-out at "GENOCIDE";
and that's what THE DEMs just did!
Fight until the Nazis are in the ground
I probably bled a lot more than he did.
I'm older now, and injured. But I'm not dead. And I still know how to stomp.
Grandma taught me the Yonkers way.

And yet, people dismiss these claims because "it's assuming too much".
Worst case scenario should be a difference of 1 vote deciding the office, not having nearly 80% voting against you.

We are no longer in the time of protest. Unless you want neo-Nazi america, it's time for us to depose the oligarchy by guillotine.
I wish you'd leave that abusive relationship with the DNC and head up a party for the people.
Pelosi will be in a wheelchair on the floor of the Senate before she lets go of power.
My family has survived Dutch, Spanish, Han, Japanese, and KMT martial law.
A little white supremacy is nothing.
Purity lens is what’s killed anything decent.
Liberals will open the door to fascists and then blame everyone else for it.
That POS Muskow - an American citizen - disrespected my father & the millions of American soldiers who fought & died in that war
Let him go to Mars & take all the MAGA with him. I'll light the rocket myself
I’ve not heard any of my conservative/republican friends or family say anything at all. They even give excuses.
Silence is complicity.
Every day is punch a Nazi in the face day, make Nazis scared again
Trials on n@zis create precedent, no?
👉🏼Technically it’s legal to p@nch a n@zi, right?🤣
Even morally speaking 💬
and jettison him halfway between here and Mars?

If you see someone on the left side of the aisle that is "great friends" with people on the right, then anything they say to the public is just performance politics.
(i brain farted the first time)
(This is a Warhammer 40k joke.)
💙🇺🇸🌊💁🏻🏳️🌈👍🦋💯💙
Those are not the people who represent me in Congress.
What’s crazy is that? I think my ideas are antiquated and I am nowhere near 90 years old
Nancy Pelosi should have trained an army of capable youngsters instead of running again. Diane Feinstein died in office in her 90s ffs!
We. Need. Fresh. Blood!
The future is theirs.
The old coot will be 92 in September. ENOUGH already.
just sayin !!
Cant wait for Paperboy to visit his new factory in Germany and use his gesture from heart. He has 1 billion enemies here now not 'critics' 🦆
Autism my arse
"Is it too early for your replacement in Congress to file articles of impeachment?"
B. We have even less chance now than we did then to get that voted through Congress.
80% of American Arabs voted against Harris. Weirdo wellness people voted against her. Casual independent racists stayed home.
If you're asking me to choose between a sandwich made with fecal matter (Trump) and one made with toenails (Vance), I'm going with toenails.
Impeachment costs a great deal of political capital.
Wonderful things can be done in this country if we stop disparaging our own welfare.
I’m not trained to explain this so feel free to read from the horse’s mouth https://workingfamilies.org/about/

i must've missed that over all the anticommunism
Look it up.
Counting heavily on this
I can respect that you weren't, but if you hasn't told me I would not have realised.

Bringing a slingshot to a knife fight with Goliath works only in fairy tales.
The Democratic Party desperately needs your bold voice and uncompromising leadership, AOC.
Let’s go!!!
Off with the f ing gloves
Give a party that doesn't allow its members to be bribed the same opportunity and let's see what can be done when people with actual values have a chance to call the shots.
You know does?!
Reps and Dems and they are who I will blame.
Biden didn't do shit to protect us. He could have pushed to limit executive power. We both know that is among the only fucking thing that coulda saved us.
Please wake the fuck up.
This is a losing strategy and I'm not gonna support it.
Dems need to reinvent themselves, NOW.
Pelosi refusing to fix the inside trading.
We can do better.
Like it or not we need a strong coalition, even if that means reaching out to the center.
We can flip the senate in 2026 if we are willing to accept slimy stains like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.
We need charismatic populist Dems who know how to navigate this new political landscape.
No more DINOs
I'm also not a fan of the Democrats, but it's time to ally up and get shit done.
The "Us vs Them" is ALL of us working class people, versus Them the wealthy bastards.
Nobody needs 100Million or more.
Healthcare should not be for profit.
There is a not insignificant difference.
Couple that with the ridiculous infighting about who's "left," "liberal," or whatever. You are all name-calling.
You are all shitposting on the internet in an attempt to look like... something
Let your cops know we know they are the nazis.
End impunity Abolish qualified immunity

Either case, do what must be done and block them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Unbelievable turncoat.
And am thankful for you.
they had 4 yrs to and access to information we never could have received -
yet when we thought they knew what to do to stop this in the first place from happening — they did ABSOLUTELY nothing.
ex: garland not getting dismissed
Have you seen Sen Schumer?
It was my only raison d’être since 2020!
There is no getting through to them.
I am not optimistic. Unless we replace them with people who understand the moment we are in.
