They’re busy trying to appeal to MAGA instead of figuring out why 2020 Biden voters stayed home. They’ve learned NOTHING. @governor.ca.gov had the bigot Charlie Kirk as his Pod’s first guest to ask him FKN TIPS! 🤦♀️ They should be joining @sanders.senate.gov THAT is what they all should be doing.
Absolutely, the “leadership” need to hand the reigns over to them, the Dems who have the balls to say what’s actually happening. This is a COUP. They need to wake the F UP!!! There aren’t going to be legitimate midterms. There might be elections, but they won’t be legit. Trump needs to be impeached.
The only thing I care about right now is what they’re NOT doing. They’d better NOT cast one vote for this Republican continuing resolution bill. Not. One. Vote.
Do not look for hope among controlled opposition. Organize. Find a group, or get your friends and family to stop being brain-fucked internet addicts (not a personal insult, all of our friends and family are brain fucked internet-addicts) and get out into the street.
Stop pandering to the Repugnicans. Stand up like AL Green. Don't freaking praise Reagan in your country speech. Go to the red states and start talking to people... feckless cowards! Do your job or get out of the way. And stop attacking the dems that are actually doing something.
Current Dem leadership needs to RESIGN. Jeffries/Pelosi should step aside: they have offered little inspiration to voters beyond licking their own wounds. It appears better leadership is necessary for our future. Rolling over & ignoring things has never worked.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Yes because there can be only one asshole in this situation.
The reason the fringe wing of the Republican party was able to grow to such power is because we're in a two party system and the Democratic party has run on "Not that guy" since the tea party.
Do want them to post or work? Cause they are doing lawsuits, drafts bills, going to committee meetings and asking hard questions…but you rather they post or stand outside and yell? great 👍🏾
Work! But posting links to their hard work would be inspiring & motivating … especially with guidance on where our voices would be most helpful. Even reposting other accounts (Buttigieg? Rankin? Murphy?) wd be smart & efficient
Maybe they’re scheduling some meetings to discuss the possibility of establishing a few committees to deliver recommendations for consideration to begin planning to implement in small increments on a bipartisan basis.
Bernie is spending his weekend in rural áreas, on his own dime, this wkend in WI. He has crowds of over 4000 pipl. And overflow crowds outside.
St scotus election in April.
When we voted paper ballots in 2016 caucus, the people voted for Bernie by a landslide in MN.
Today's Democrats are all wearing a daring fuchsia lipstick to protest the invasion of Canada. In exciting future developments the Democrats will attend a conference on the importance of being nice.
Major 3-day protests THIS week in DC. Can you help get the word out, pls? Friday March 14th National Mall #VeteransAgainstFascism (btwn 4th & 6th); March 15th outside #FOXNews in DC; March 16th @ The Heritage Foundation. WE NEED MAJOR PARTICIPATION! #DescendonDC All info: https://www.donaldlovesvladimir.com
Friday's #VeteransAgainstFascism march on the National Mall starts @ Noon; Saturday's FOX News DC studios protests start @ Noon; Sunday's protests at The Heritage Foundation start at Noon. Due to character limits I hoped ppl would go to the website for more deets but all protests start @ Noon. :)
I’m talking about on here friend, sorry for the confusion. It’s on this app. You could search here or you’re more than welcome to search my posts, I normally repost each one weekly. Hope that helps.
I sent a bunch of letters to my Republican congressman, and the responses I got back made me feel like they didn’t really give a shit what I thought or that the direction of the country is going in the wrong way.
They don't care. I think they're hoping there will be no more elections because they certainly are not responding to their constituents. They keep supporting and pushing the lies of their cult leader.
I believe we are receiving the same template: “It is a blessing to be tread upon by the Orange Jesus; Be silent unholy free-thinkers whom can math, & embrace the anointment of the blessed tariffs of the patriots. Only the lily white and membered have value.” [recte]
With the exception of a small handful (Green, Crockett, AOC, Frost, Sanders), they're sitting back hoping to be overlooked.
Politics isn't gonna save us this time.
We have a few upstanding governors (Walz, Mills, etc). Otherwise, folks, it's on us.
Some are holding town halls and more need to, even in Republican districts. Hakeem Jeffries needs to stop trying to rub shoulders with the billionaires and put Democrats who can give clear messaging out in the forefront. We need to see the new DNC fellow out and about; he is faceless and voiceless.
MN here. I can tell you abt him. Thks to him, we have emmer, stauber,fishbach,finsted,craig, klobuchar, all maga. After 12 years as state chair he can't figure out that you have to live in the district you run in. Does all he can for maga. Turned our P Wellstone state to red maga emmer state.
Taking money from the same corrupt billionaires that are funding the Reich wingers. That's exactly what they're doing. My comment section is full of stuff like this
How about we ask why all the republicans are going along with this. Talk about victim blaming… sure you got raped “but what were you wearing ??“ like the dems we’re just asking for it. FFS they didn’t get the votes , what are they supposed to do about it now?
I just reported them as a fake account! They have posted nothing the whole time on this platform ! Not once no replies ! Fake bot accounts actually post more then they do‼️😡
I think we will have to find our hope elsewhere. Some dems really do actively care about saving democracy, who care about becoming a caring country. But there aren’t enough of them to shift the tide on the hill. My hope is that new non politician leaders will emerge.
STAND FOR THE OPPRESSED IN CREATING GOOD JOHN LEWIS AL GREEN TROUBLE WHEN A SOCIOPATH & PARTY LIES A MILE A MINUTE & HOING AFTER SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE & MEDICAID @housedemocrats.bsky.social
They need to do what Bernie is doing. He is asking people their biggest concerns. He lets them know they were heard, by repeating what they said.
He can't do this by himself. He is older than Krasnov FFS
I was at a rally at the Texas State Capital yesterday where Rep Lloyd Doggett, Rep Greg Cesar and Sen Elizabeth Warren spoke. There were over 3000 people there.
Sarcasm right?
While Jeffries was out on his book tour.
AOC heard doge was going to go to DOL. She drafted a letter. Took it to the DOL outlining the steps to stop doge. She gave to officials & stopped doge long enuf to get a Court injuntion. She is not bgt by Wall ST. https://youtube.com/shorts/DY7yWw_QNG4?si=_LbFG9kGVgLb2UD2
They could:
- Have a weekly all media broadcast by leadership
- Hold alternate town halls in red districts.
- Attend the rallies the people are organizing.
No. It has to be in the majority of them.
Across the US.
It has to be a whole party coordinated effort.
We know there are a few.
We need an opposition party that will organize the work and not leave it to a few individuals.
What should they be doing? Do you know how Congress works and what a majority is? There is nothing they can do that they aren't doing. We the people let this pos get elected. And we the people are the ones that need to step up and fix it. Especially those who voted third party or didn't vote
Civics. Not only does it take a majority vote to impeach, the speaker of the house has to allow the vote to come to the floor. I don't see the majority party, Republicans and maga Mike doing that. Unless enough of us make enough of them afraid of losing reelection 1/2
with phone calls emails protests, and at least one huge general strike nothing changes. If we the people can't apply the pressure needed than we have fcked ourselves. #civics 1/2
Listen, I know my rep & senators will vote no. I know that @repherbconaway.bsky.social & @andykimnj.bsky.social are holding monthly town halls - I've been to them.
My biggest issue is the lack of strong messaging everywhere, esp from @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
I quit the dead bird, only on FB/IG when I need to be. Posts from @schumer.senate.gov don't seem to show up in my feed. I follow @inquirer.com & @theguardian.com & canceled NYT & WaPo subscriptions after they refused to endorse Biden or Harris. Pray tell, what sources am I missing? Thanks 😊
THEY'RE MAKING IT PLAIN THAT IT'S UP TO US CITIZENS, a fact that most? Many? Some? non-magas will not and cannot stomach. The empire did its best to sicken everyone w) covid, but only when it $$$ crushes everyone not them will this 'gilded age' (they call the 'golden age') rouse everyone.
I think they need to come out of their shelters and read Bluesky; they might
Learn what is actually happening @senatedem.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social 🤬
They have very little to say because they're waiting on Nancy to decide for them and she's 84 and busy with her new hip and insider trading. They only need you when there's an election. Hit the streets and do it yourself.
Not enough. They continue to catty a bucket of water to a forest fire. They think rules matter. They don't not to trump and the GOP. They are now complicit in our demise.
I see what Bernie Sanders is doing. God bless that man. I see what AOC is doing. I see what Chris Murphy’s doing I see what Corey Booker is doing. I see Senator White House.
Here's hope

Sen Sanders has crowds of over 4000 and overflow crowds in Wisc this weekend . He was in repub rural áreas, speaking truth 2 people abt the state scotus elec coming in April. Millions spent by Elon to get the trump guy in. While corp bgt dems go to safe Austín tx to look like their doing something.
They are doing their jobs. Why the fuck should they do more? It’s us who handed the GOP all three branches of government. Instead of nagging them, YOU need to help Dems take back the House!
I agree The People voted for MAGA & put them in power. But Dems have been incapable of developing a responsive, progressive platform. Their agenda for the past 7 years has been, "Don't vote MAGA". Clearly, it a losing strategy.
The Democrats not doing shit, except a handful. The Democrats of voting with Republicans. The Democrat censured one of their own and allowed him to be dragged out. The democrats are moving to the right. The Democrat party is dead. Grassroots are the future.
Devil is in the details. A simple chart with bill names does not provide sufficient information to contextualize choices. This chart is useless and likely carefully framed information.
What do you want them to do? They tried calling Musk to testify but the Republicans blocked it. Maybe if the Tens of Thousands+ people who were able to vote got off their asses and voted we wouldn't be in the mess. The Democrats have no majority so they can't do much. Now we can take back the House
They have power beyond that of their votes. They should be fighting fascism tooth and nail but most of them are too busy doing shit like voting to censure Al Green instead of standing up with him and calling trump on his bullshit.
They are just because you don't see it on corporate media doesn't mean they aren't. Also, other than suing which they are doing what power do they have?
I don't agree that a few Democrats voted to censure Al Green but that doesn't mean the Democrats aren't fighting for us. The more we bash the Democrats the more we lose. That is why lose so much.
You know what, continue to bash the Democrats, it's not going to help us win. I don't like some of the stuff they do and wish they did more, but if you want to get Democrats to take over the House and the Senate, then we as Democrats need to stop bashing the things that they do or won't do.
Maybe if Harris spent more time on issues that affect the working class left and less time vowing to support Israel and going on about the stock market and Liz Cheney people would have felt like she was worth voting for.
That ship has sailed. What we ALL need do is look to improving chances in upcoming elections & demand new leadership that might be thinking of VOTERS, & not those intent on licking their wounds from the LAST contest.
I think it's important to criticize things that deserve it. Like voting to censure Al Green. That deserves criticism. Voting for Trump appointees and in favor of Repub legislation. Why not just throw the fascists a welcome party while they're at it?
The down-payment assistance would only help people who are able to buy a house. It did nothing to address skyrocketing rent prices. The price gouging plan only addressed retailer price gouging during emergencies.
Okay well, you're not going to believe anything I have to say or you will argue about it with me. So it's pretty much useless to keep responding to you.
Obviously Harris would be a better president than trump, I doubt anyone's disputing that. I'm not critical of her ability to lead, I'm critical of the fact that she didn't campaign to win, despite having good data that told her to do things much differently than she did.
Do you think Democrats will vote for Liz Chaney? Who is against abortion rights, and has Republican views? At the time when Harris was Vice President, the market was at all-time high and she announced her plan for the middle class over and over again.
You're right they surely did but dems are literally voting against their own when they should be sticking together. While only holding up tiny signs when they should've all been doing what Al Green did. Most of them have been dead silent while Trump destroys us all.
I'm all for being mad about the election, but can we stop demanding Democrats save the day? Focus on who caused this catastrophe. People rejected Biden/Harris, even when they gave stark warnings of the consequences. Democrats are in court/winning cases. Let's see what happens if DJT/EM defy judges.
This is focking attack but we are in chaos we don't have leadership stepping up I want to see our 2028 candidate now. Three damn years to get to know them not 30 days shat . Fight this is war nothing is fair in war
All the majority of Dems are doing is staying quiet so they go unnoticed
It has become abundantly clear that, while we pay them a ton of money to stand up for US, they are only standing by for themselves
Many voted for trumps picks & MANY will make money off a recession

"what the fuck are you guys doing?"
The only thing they know how to do. Sit in their seats until the music starts and don't help the one who is left standing when the music stops.

But, Bernie went round and met a bunch of lower-income working people.
Hakeem Jeffries met a 100+ or so tech millionaires.
They are not the same.

What a joke. They should have stormed trump in the state of the union.
Pathetic.
They have brought a pool noodle to a gun fight, they are so out of touch.
Which is a good metaphor for how they are 'fighting' vs how people want them to fight.

We have a few upstanding governors (Walz, Mills, etc). Otherwise, folks, it's on us.
But anyway — Why are we not allowed to criticize the democrats?
We already know why the republicans go along with all of this !!
