If Democrats don’t wake the fuck up, there’s a really good chance of a Dem version of the tea party movement taking out a few incumbents in primaries next year.
The base is *pissed* and wants fighters. A lot of Dem electeds are just sitting on their hands and doing nothing.

The alternative is accelerationism, and I'm not ready to embrace that beyond the occasional frustrated outburst.
We're both pissed, we both know GOP are a threat, ergo we have no choice but to ally if we want to neutralize that threat. Whomever is more organized gets the baton, and that's the liberals.
That means you have to be ideological by definition.
Thinking we can somehow beat these monsters back into the hole they crawled out of while not clearly standing for something other than "we're not them" is a recipe for disaster.
Disgusted that many won't vote for liberals, more like.
this is what happens when you still have people who have been there since clinton in influential positions. they still think it's the 90s gop they're dealing with.
If we didn't suck at that, we wouldn't be here.

Dems? Dems?
Do you mean Democrats
Slogan suggestion: Democratic Country over Democratic Party
The Hill's Dems choose to die on are insane - with rare exception the party has been a shambles in a platform, strategy and how to make the non MAGA voters who aren't voting for Dem's COME BACK
Chuck "Crying Eyes" Schumer has got to go. He's ONLY interested in "getting along".
It's time to start challenging Republicans in Pennsylvania and Maine.
So true.
That's what it's going to take.
Ask no quarter.
And give none.
We passed pissed and we are marching full steam toward rage.
Well, I am glad you're giving him a hard time. Kudos.
Just a few of a small group there now actually advocating for the non parasite classes.
The only loud liberal voices I've seen speaking up since this shitshow started are those 3 and a few other, so they're the ones I know.
I'm not up as to date on all state local races to offer up other names.
It’s not the rapist felon, king?
It’s not the russian assets like gabbard, rfk, patel and stein?
It’s not the uneducated maga trash who voted for this fascist shit?!?
It’s not the sanewashing corporate press and corporate print media who enabled this shit?
I see…
Not a single Democrat voted for gabbard but these clowns will somehow blame Democrats for her confirmation.
But we can’t block them, just yet.
We have to pushback against all these Bernie bros in disguise trying to divide us.
Libertarians, like the Bernie bros, are vicious little pricks.
They really are the worst kind of people.
That's a lot of incredibly stupid individuals.
We can't just overcome the GOP voters - we need to figure out how to reach wanton stupidity APART from them.
And I just don't know how we do that. 🤔
Unless it affects them personally, the magas simply don’t care.
I have a mental punch-out list of at least 100 people and counting.
Could we possibly NOT let things get much worse and still convince the stupids to wake up...?
🤪
Not enough of the people who look like you voted.
The whites that voted are the ones who gave us this evil monster. Let’s get our own in order and stop bashing Democrats.
Republicans embraced their tea party. Democrats will suppress theirs.
Stop making threats. We're not afraid of you.
So yes, the Democrats will never be like them.
And hell, if the base gets pissed enough at Democrats, they'll welcome a "pause"!
Flipping blue states red? 😂
1/3 of Biden cabinet appointees facing "the Master" Mitch...swam through with 80+ votes.
These are things Dems are largely doing with expectations of effectiveness that border delusion
If they aren't moved into action by the threat of fascism,...
Let the primaries begin!!!
Yes, we're tired of elderly white milquetoast do-nothing congressmen.
yes I am
ngl, at times it feels more like "churning white-hot dwarf star fast approaching the exploding super-nova level of gaseous, seething rage"
but *pissed* is also fine
To the Dems stand up, fight back, don’t wait. You can be sure that Musk will be plotting to cancel any future elections, and then it’ll be too late.
And magats will settle for nothing less.
Anyway, didn't we take a bite out of your already existing leftist tea party this year? I'm just saying.
yes please, threaten me with a good time
👍
"We the people" are not the judiciary branch, the media, the executive branch or congress.
Each person must act.

Because the base of the Democratic Party is BLACK WOMEN—it’s not college kids, not Arab Muslims, not privileged white leftists—it’s BLACK WOMEN! And I haven’t seen them posting “DO SOMETHING!”
The last thing we need is flamethrowers blasting all Dems w the misinformation that none of them are doing anything, and they all deserve our wrath.
Dems have in fact been doing things. If you don’t know that, spend more time learning than talking.
No incumbents should be safe if all they're doing is hemming and hawing, waiting for Trump/GOP to immolate.
We need to organize in our communities.
WE NEED to do WORK not rely on people who are afraid of what they can lose.
If Dems want to get on board later great, but do not wait.
Create groups to help local politicians.
The DNC won't save us we need to.
Expand the court
Eliminate Citizens United
Women’s health
…that’s just the start, give us something to vote for.

Because some think accurately quoting AIPAC claims is 'antisemitic.'
What is the problem with the left? Please can someone tell me?
We ran the moderate version of Dems with the establishment and we lost.
Name them.
Also name the "base" of Voters of Tomorrow please.
Most young people did not vote.
Unfortunately, Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman were.... Not good.
If we do, they’ll be like the Russian or N. Korean or Chinese ones.

If our reps can’t assume we want the constitution protected, that’s a problem!!!
Yes you have to communicate w your electeds. They can’t read your mind. And having responses from constituents gives them ammunition with which to fight.
And people wonder how we got here.

Fetterman gained a lot of recognition during the 2020 election when Trump was filing all those lawsuits. Fetterman was on television all the time making fun of the whole “stolen election” claim.
who vote with Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge! Not the real Progressives who backed our most Progressive President in history and actually pass legislation and flip seats blue! NOT!
Hint:
It ain't young "progressives"
