God the Cut article causing this website to melt down is absolute garbage, it's just an aggregation of an Axios article which actually runs through a list of about 20 different things Dems may do, which runs from color coordinating to heckling to a walkout

some of it will be good (Wyden townhall/AOC livestream), some will be cringe (wearing pink), some will be painfully inadequate (special guests), some will probably be just bad. but there's no unified response here and it's a very bad look for jeffries and schumer

guys the entire constitutional authority of the legislature is being blatantly denied get your fucking shit together

for the record, I think they should mostly attend and then all walk out and set up on the Capitol steps to talk about Elon and impoundment

Trump will throw a massive tantrum and that will be all the better

merovingians.bsky.social•1 day ago

the Democrats learning how to at least occasionally upstage Trump is going to correlate to their political success at opposing him

Yea yea the Congress is just pretending that Trump can totally ignore impoundment. Whatever. Let's talk about the optics of the minority party showing up or not at Trump's not-SOTU instead. That'll make all the difference.

Is this kind of on AOC for splitting the caucus?

merovingians.bsky.social•1 day ago

hardly, Wyden announced his virtual town hall days ago

christosilvia.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, him too.

I agree with you that it's better to do something fucking stupid in a unified manner, than to split the caucus

merovingians.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't think they ever attempted to impose unity because they are scared of negative press

I am generally on board with more experimenting, but do agree that there needed to be a more forceful unified response than we are getting.

The question I have is whether this was from an *unwillingness* to whip, or an *inability* to whip.

Basically, did they not want a coornated response, or was their sufficient dissent that no coordination was going to happen.

merovingians.bsky.social•1 day ago

unwillingness, it appears

they need some new material.
