I got death threats in 2014 for a blog about how we shouldn’t slut shame Jennifer Lawrence. Fucking grow up and govern.

Reposted from Regina Schrambling

Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.

Part of the fucking job in the real world. These turnips haven't been near the real world in decades. That's our fault.

So are Democrats just more brave? What about vocal Journalists? Or does he not have blackmail on them?

chefdejour.bsky.social•12 days ago

A patriotic American would tell the public who is threatening and blackmailing US senators and representatives.
All we get is crickets.

jeb-2028.bsky.social•12 days ago

She's talking about GOP senators falling in line after death threats, not Dem senators.

Fetterman is doing it because he's evil.

sjdco-xblows.bsky.social•12 days ago

Fetterman doesn’t have a fully functioning brain after his stroke…personality changes are something that can happen as after effects.

violiav.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah, I’ve been wondering about that. Some people are ok, others not so much.

cokes.bsky.social•12 days ago

No idea why she didn't include this context in the initial post:

Violence works. Time for Dems to become violent.

paintedpigeon.bsky.social•12 days ago

Got death threats for reblogging a horror film rec list to a tumblr sideblog once (op didn't like that community & shared my url publicly, then ignored ppl who pointed out the post was causing me to get death threats). If you're scared of death threats fair enough but then maybe don't be a senator?

arkenor.bsky.social•12 days ago

If you don't feel safe fulfilling your oaths because of threats, that's totally fair, and so you should resign.

Staying in place while knowingly breaking your oath is inexcusable.

modoubtingthomas.bsky.social•12 days ago

These are Republicans afraid of death threats from fellow Republicans.

They'd be replaced by true believers making the death threats ... so it is lose lose for ALL OF US.

arkenor.bsky.social•12 days ago

There'd be fresh elections in some cases, and those are absolutely worth giving a shot.

modoubtingthomas.bsky.social•12 days ago

But they aren't going to resign because they don't want to lose their jobs and all of its benefits.

They don't get the negative death threats if they just go along.

They don't care about you or me and they are on the side of power so they'll be okay laying low.

fabledfoxart.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sounds like they need more women on the team who are used to it 🙄

guybeardman.bsky.social•12 days ago

I got one a month ago, the difference in this case is legitimate unpredictables, who are likely armed and we know willing to do a little insurrection, who's to say they won't kill his enemies for him.

mathealy99.bsky.social•12 days ago

These scared spineless assholes just need to get the fuck out of the way.

ubiquity75.bsky.social•11 days ago

I got one a couple weeks ago.

neroden.bsky.social•12 days ago

To be clear, Gillibrand's referring to Republicans being cowards because of death threats

altiam.bsky.social•12 days ago

Empathy and respect go a long way. Stand strong.

bengrimmsthing.bsky.social•11 days ago

Why was she being shamed, was that after the ICloud leaks? If only we realized she was tight with a Schumer back then,we could have saved her.

scotta-gis.bsky.social•12 days ago

I got death threats when I was 15 because I was testifying in a mob connected trial. 15!! Just a defenceless kid. She's an adult, get over it and get going! She chose her duty! The moment reveals the cowards..

zenmuppet.bsky.social•12 days ago

You should go read what she actually said.

tarahootz.bsky.social•12 days ago

Thanks for this comment. I looked it up, and that post is waaayy out of context.

iamcarolann.bsky.social•4 days ago

I got doxxed by a white wing nutcase bc I posted in favor of an initiative by my governor. If I can handle it, so can she.

starlarbu.bsky.social•12 days ago

we need elected officials that aren't going to be intimidated by online hate and torrents of death threats. I'm starting a political office working group to draft survivors of the superwholock fandom

justhangingout.bsky.social•12 days ago

And all my life I had been told that Americans would stand up to tyranny.

stewardn.bsky.social•12 days ago

really? in what context?

justhangingout.bsky.social•12 days ago

It seemed all a parcel of: we each need guns, exceptionalism, freest country in the world and so on.

mtnstrider.bsky.social•12 days ago

What did they think their oath meant.

porterhaus82.bsky.social•12 days ago

She’s terrible.

benschrager.bsky.social•12 days ago

On top of being utterly spineless, this feels like the dumbest possible way to try to get LESS death threats.
If you say “we are doing what they say because they’re sending us death threats” the message you end up conveying to people is “if you want us to act, send us death threats.”
