I haven’t liked Schumer for a while now.
Jeffries has disappointed—thought he would be dynamic.
They want to play lazy old-time politics with old-time methods which aren’t ever going to work again against the traitors&thieves party, and more importantly—with US!
We need AOC & Crockett!
We need new leadership. People not afraid to call out the crap the GOP are doing, people who have some fire. I’m tired of the same old crap over & over.
Capitulating, complying while grasping their pearls and writing strongly worded letters.
They are not prepared for this. They think it is business as usual.
That is kind of laughable. There might be a sham sort of election (like in Russia). But, it is absurd that they are behaving with the sort of politesse reserved for high tea. They're pusillanimous politicos ill equipped to really fight back.
Laughable with immediate choking after. Some went out once to peacock in front of cameras (except of course AOC and Buttigieg) only to hurriedly go back to their warm and safe offices. F them all.
I think it's sad when Dems run & then just exit stage left. Kamala has an agent. She'll probably write a book and make speeches. I think HRC did the same.
But Trump already had declared by now he was running for 2024. He had 4 years to campaign.
The way that Rachel Maddow called out Bill Cassidy last night is the way I want to hear Democrats call out their Republican counterparts. Start respectfully but publicly calling out their cowardice on the floor and elsewhere.
I was chided just hours ago for expressing a similar concern.
There's like, five of them tweeting hot takes and leaping in front of anything that even looks like a microphone. As for the rest, I have no idea where they went.
Cowering. The only Democrat leader that I have seen taking actual useful action is AOC by creating a means for immigrants to learn their rights. A few others are doing useless things like filing lawsuits & writing pointless bills, because they still don't understand what is actually happening.
The Baby Boomers are learning slowly to give the reins of power to the next generation of Democrats.
And this next generation is even more progressive than the last. It will break if it doesn’t learn to bend.
And perhaps we aren't looking hard enough. Democracy still has powerful allies in Marc Elias, Andrew Weissmann, Pete Buttigieg, Mark Cuban, Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, etc.
Yeah, I've had same thought recently. I always look to history for answers. Like....where is our Churchill? I'm not oblivious to his imperialistic nature & other faults, but his defense of democracy and his ability to inspire his country and the world is much needed in this hour.
Leaders are fine, but
It is up to each and everyone of us to be leaders too. We must realize that Nobody is coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves. We the people.
Most of them were never leaders. They turned tail and have fled. And our remaining leaders are trying but in far too deep. It’s AOC, Jasmine and Pete against the Nazi establishment that is MAGA. The rest of them, spineless cowards.
He is. And a couple of the governors as well. Unfortunately a lot of them are too strapped down trying to protect their own states to throw down with Trump on a national scale 🥺
Seriously do they have something better to do right now? I’m all for taking breaks but I haven’t seen Kamala or Biden or The Clinton’s or Obama since the election. What gives?
That's what I want to know. I only see AOC, Jasmine, and Elizabeth Warren. Oh, and Jamie Raskin and Pritzker. I'm grateful for them, but it's like David vs. Goliath out there.
Well some of them are on this app. Others here don't know yet that they are the leaders we are asking for. It's not me, I'm to old. I'll help. Everyone has to take to the streets. That crazy show of resistance is powerful. Trump is obsessed with size and we know why.

We are back at start even though she barely lost.

America is in grave danger.
She's pretty much useless

You didn’t think the gop did this alone, right?
Dems serve the exact same oligarch class.
It’s why we have for-profit health care and for-profit education.

And now with Kash Patel as head of the FBI, we'll be lucky if any that step up aren't assassinated. They know that, and we know that.
