Reposted from Sen. Adam Schiff

The path back to power for the Democratic Party is to be the party that gets shit done.

This framing always feels persuasive to them, somehow, but it's just the bullshit about both sides wanting basically the same thing and only disagreeing about the means that has haunted American politics my entire life.

Useless, useless people.

That’s definitely an #OkSchumer if I ever heard one

Schiff is the worst. Katie Porter was right there.

Oh but Nancy Pelosi made sure it was Schiff… she has hastened the death of this party as she raked in millions…

Remember when she showed us, the humble masses, that she was all stocked up with Talenti gelato in a second freezer in her house to get through the covid times.

mariposa17.bsky.social•2 days ago

Our family still jokes about her luxury ice cream in her 25k set of freezers… so fkg breathtakingly out of touch…

Surely the little people would want to know their aged princess would be well-stocked with desserts!

You also can’t really get back in power by doing things since you need power to do things

I genuinely think they believe this is a battle of "messaging" and not policy

And as many of my fellow Californians will attest we'd like Schiff's office to not go to voice mail

But they haven't gotten anything done in decades.........

Schiff needs to leave his bubble and get out in America where many are prepping for a war and not knowing what form it will take.

Yeah this seems like an incredibly counter productive message at this specific moment. You're never gonna outdo a lawless dictator on changing things indiscriminately.

Dem: “We’re gonna do things!”
Ordinary person: “Okay, like what?”
Dem: *runs away*
