Wait, excuse me, a book tour?

Reposted from Indivisible Chicago Alliance

❌️ Elon Musk has got to go! Musk & Trump are the enemies of our democracy, bent on destroying every program keeping us safe, secure, informed & well. Outside a Hakeem Jeffries book tour event in Chicago, we call on the House Democratic leader to use *all his power* in DC to obstruct the MAGA agenda.

Yes you read that right… corrupt NY Dem Jeffries. Same as Adams, Cuomo, Hochul, et al.

Jeffries has the charisma of a shoe, so we should be grateful he is not stepping into the spotlight. That said, it is reasonable to expect that he should be spending his time working on legislative counter-tactics.

Democrats are having town halls, protesting.

What kind of leadership is this? Hakeem Jeffries is basically all the things we didn't like about Nancy Pelosi without any of her fire in a low energy, zero calorie, caffeine free form

nastywoman65.bsky.social•23 hours ago

We need people in DC!

If we could organize people in US to go to DC and protest by first letter of last name A-Z we could do this for weeks.

Say Aa-Ad March 1st, Ae-Ag March 2nd, Ah-Ak March 3rd, Al-Ao March 4th, Ap-As March 5th, At-Aw March 6th, Au-Az March 7th, Ba-Bd March 8th, Etc Etc.

nastywoman65.bsky.social•23 hours ago

This could be broken down into smaller increments too.
This would allow one person one day of protest in DC. They wouldnt have to take off more than one or two days of work. I think with this system we could get so many people in DC on a daily
basis this might really work.

leeleeyinzer.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Who does he think is going to buy this book? Republicans? The rest of us are too busy doing what he's too afraid to do, resisting. We don't have the time to read for pleasure.

johnmaun.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Wealthy donors buy most of them as a way to get around campaign finance laws. That's why "they" write them for the most part, or hire someone to ghost write them.

sailbarque.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Here's what real protesting looks like.

sailbarque.bsky.social•1 day ago

Indivisible knows they can protest Republican officeholders too, right?

carolking.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Why not both

sailbarque.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Because there's one party that's turning us into Nazi Germany: Part Two. Hint. It ain't the Democratic Party.

carolking.bsky.social•23 hours ago

The optics are that the non-Nazi party leaders are standing back and letting the takeover happen. People are expressing their anger and demanding action. There are protests happening all over the country—Tesla dealerships, local town halls, state capitals, and in DC. We can do multiple things.

sailbarque.bsky.social•23 hours ago

It's also transparently divisive for a group that's supposedly about indivisibility.

jessbheart.bsky.social•17 hours ago

sailbarque.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Bullshit. It's virtue signaling by cowards. None of these people are doing any of the hard lifting.

carolking.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Sounds personal. You really don’t see why the House minority leader hosting a book tour event for personal profit at this specific moment in time is problematic?

sailbarque.bsky.social•1 day ago

Maybe these Indivisible mooks should better be standing outside of a Tesla dealership - or here's a fucking idea - find a Republican's office - Senator, Congressman, work your way down to state Representative if you have to - and do this.

charlottecd.bsky.social•10 hours ago

The problem is that things are so gerrymandered that a lot of people who are looking to fight back have only Democrats representing them. Only someone's own representatives care about their opinions. This means we work with what we have and try to wake up the rest of the country.

sailbarque.bsky.social•9 hours ago

The rot in the Republican Party is top down. I agree with you about gerrymandering, but most people have a Republican at some level - event the local level - like a township board - that they can get to.

Every level of Republican officeholder needs to have their offices protested.

charlottecd.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I personally don't have a single Republican representing me on any level but I see what you mean. That said, I don't know that it's mutually exclusive.

strenuousflooze.bsky.social•11 hours ago

They are doing all those things too. It's okay to demand accountability for our own leaders. You know that, right? This dumbass book tour is precisely NOT what we need right now.

sailbarque.bsky.social•9 hours ago

No. I don't believe they are doing any of those things. I think Indivisible is a shill organization that likes to cause ruckuses inside of the Democratic tent because it's easy - but ultimately pointless.

johnmaun.bsky.social•13 hours ago

If you wonder why we are losing, this is a good example.

So VERY, VERY, VERY disappointed in @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social .

We need @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social leading the Democrats.

You know, people with courage.

Keep padding your bug out stash, coward, we'll stay and fight.

- Watching a Fascist Coup from the sidelines
- If Only I Could Lead
- My Democracy Illiteracy

Books and book tours are opportunities for messaging. Seems to be happening. How about criticizing Republicans for hiding and going along with fascism.
