The catchy slogans are fooling no one but fools.

I think a subscription to Democracy Docket would make a lovely gift, with nearly instant delivery!
Everyone needs to know this material!

As per Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, Trump is DISQUALIFIED from holding office. The language is crystal clear! We CANNOT allow Congress to just ignore the Constitution. He is just as disqualified as someone under 35 yrs old or someone from another country. We need to RAISE OUR VOICES!!!

Well, then, should we just give up and start investing in zyklon-b?

canuckd.bsky.social•126 days ago

It feels disingenuous and futile is all. If Americans didn't see this coming from miles away, they weren't paying attention. This is the result of apathy, delusion and surrender. Canadians watching are screaming "DON'T LET TRUMP TAKE OFFICE". This is a pivotal moment. Stand up, FIGHT and end this.

Please amplify why Elon tanked the CR…it was about China and his business interests. House Democrats Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut say Republicans caved to his demands, sinking a bipartisan government funding bill that would have regulated U.S. investments in China.

tailwaggingdog.bsky.social•126 days ago

People who have also arguably & badly let down Dem supporters:

Garland, Biden, Pelosi, Manchin, Sinema, Wray….Also: legacy MSM owners and b'naires who spt Agent Orange. DNC get special mention for not having a dig. strategy (aka Reach)

No media or justice & all-round corruption means no democracy

You should write about this. Way more to the story. 46 Senators, 122 Reps, 100s of orgs, unions, etc demanded Biden publish the Equal Rights Amendment so we have a chance of fighting back & surviving.

Dems definitely need to do something different to connect with the electorate. If you look at the policies, Americans by and large support “liberal” positions far more so than the “conservative” counterpart but Dems just continue to fail at messaging and, ultimately, in winning elections.

pcoop1960.bsky.social•125 days ago

Everyone needs to contact their congressman to enforce 14th Amendment sect 3. Trump was the leader and instigator of Jan 6

Congress needs to enforce the 14th Amendment sect 3. Trump is disqualified from holding any office because he was the leader and instigator of the Jan 6 insurrection—the rule of law needs to stand strong—uphold the constitution ‼️

This was a fraudulent election, and we all know it! When Trump committed all those crimes, he disqualified himself for running for any government office again! We’ve got to resist this. We are all stronger together, and we need to start raising our voice to Washington DC.! disqualify Trump now!!!

It’s not OUR government anymore it’s been bought and paid for by Musk and all the other billionaires. It’s not a democracy but an oligarchy now.

The media in Germany fell early to the Nazis too. We are seeing the same here in Canada. All of our Media is now owned by US MAGAts or are Canadian owned Far-Right Harper bros(Canada hating MAGAt wannabes). The CBC is the only one that isn't and they are to scared to do their job.

I think Biden should declare martial law stop playing with Trump. Stop Trump and don't let him in.

We also need people to understand that being pro-democracy doesn't mean pro-democrat. The democrats have kow-towed and basically stood by while the country has become what it is now, even complicit. We must take down ANYONE Republican or Democrat that refuses to stand for the American people.

It’s also unfortunate that we’re seeing senators & house members softening their positions to please Trump. Along with media corporations who are just folding to avoid a legal battle. Folks are bending knee quickly.

Every single person can do something. I'm in the UK fighting off Farage who is emulating Trump. Funded by all the same people. We won our version of a 2020 result in our election this summer. You can be damn sure I will do everything in my power to avoid our version of your 2024 when we next vote.

We’re accountable. We let this happen. As long as we keep complaining we’ll continue to lose. Actions not only speak louder than words, but they actually affect change.

Marc, it is a nice narrative, but the truth is that the legacy media was v proactive in promoting Trump during the entire campaign: sane-washing his abysmal performance on the trail, never looking at the "assassination attempts" nor the likely vote hacking. The Legacy media has long been fascistic.
