We need these same voices now! They need to take a clue from Walz and hit the streets of our country like they are campaigning again! Because it’s now a campaign to save our Democracy! We need these voices upfront to stoke resistance!

When people get together for a mass protest, their energetic impact is amplified exponentially. So 10 people with a common intention have the energetic impact of 100 people; 100 people are the same as 10,000, etc. We can outnumber the politicians every time. Schumer needs to be removed from power.

YadaYada if that were true, why are we here?
I like her, a lot, but her clichés while we face the end of our lives as we know them are almost....mmmm.... insulting.

The unelected Black FLOTUS pleaded, presciently articulated, forewarned about the stakes. Deep in mourning having just lost her mother, she still more than did her duty. She was attacked, blamed (still is), disrespected, told to go away. She is not your indentured slave

We are here to vote, and to support our candidates.

A deeply impactful senate race in Wisconsin is April 1:

Support Judge Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court. Her opponent is soft-on-crime, anti-abortion, and Elon Musk-funded.

VOLUNTEER to get the vote out:

Explain Michelle, please. What is this power, because our vote was hijacked and nobody questioned the election! Why? That is my little power … to ask WHY?

We are each other’s force multiplier. When one of us claps, it barely gets noticed, but when all of us clap together, it sounds like thunder.

If only that were true, Michelle. Dem leaders fail us. They fall in for trump. Dems are not even united against a dictator. I know that was her speaking at the DNC. Back when we had hope.

do-no-harm1.bsky.social•20 hours ago

But it would certainly strengthen the movement to have the “big leaders” ACTUALLY LEADING the opposition!

Where ARE the Obamas? Where’s Kamala?

karmadolesout.bsky.social•11 hours ago

The Obamas are now retired private citizens. They’ve more than done their duty. Pleaded, presciently forewarned about this. They were attacked, disrespected, blamed, told to go away. The Obamas are not indentured slaves. Time to get your elected pols & those running for the WH gig, to do their part.

marcbastien.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I hope that leaders are organising something behind the curtain. What I really want to see right now is influencers on social media with big following asking them to join them to go out and manifest on the street.

The Democratic Party is done and irrelevant now. The 1776 American system is history. One needs to start fresh with powerful collaborations that include @aoc.bsky.social and @adamkinzinger.bsky.social.

Seen from Europe the US has passed the point of no return. There is no «normal» way to regain your democracy. Dictators and their enablers do not leave on free will, they have to be carried out of office by the people!

karmadolesout.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yup. The more days pass, the more comfortably settled in brazenly breaking every law & norm & the more he & musk get away with as everyone preemptively caves to them, the harder it’ll be to ever get them out. A real nightmare.

But it’s not like voters weren’t forewarned.

It's called LEADERSHIP - about which Americans, who have elected this corrupt vulgarian to be your POTUS TWICE, clearly have no idea.
No principles, no values, no moral standards have any part in your voting calculus. Astounding!

karmadolesout.bsky.social•10 hours ago

The unelected Black FLOTUS, a private citizen -10yrs post WH, has more than generously done her LEADERSHIP part in the face of unprecedented death threats, attacks & disrespect even from Dems. Time to make demands of elected politicos & Dems still angling for the WH gig

She also said that when they go low we go high. I hope everyone realizes now that that approach does not work with bullies like Trump.

karmadolesout.bsky.social•13 hours ago

She didn’t say play dead or mandate passivity. Mantra was re: parenting her traumatized minor daughters through unprecedented death threats as historic 1st Family. That you keep trying to blame the unelected Black FLOTUS for DECADES of Dem impotence presided over by your fave career pols, is asinine

erictheblue.bsky.social•12 hours ago

And what am I blaming her for? I merely said that this doesn't work with Trump.
Stop trying to make me out to be a racist. I voted for Obama twice and Kamala Harris.

karmadolesout.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Vile how you lot continue to dredge up a solitary positive parenting mantra from speech given by the unelected Black FLOTUS 10yrs ago, as reason for Dem failures - including failures by your fave career politicians who’ve been in charge for DECADES, but are absolved/excused as you blame Black FLOTUS

erictheblue.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I never so much as implied that she is the reason for the problems with the Democrat party.
Again, not blaming her for anything. But you've made up your mind so no reason for me to continue with this.

Everyone doing something, without any organization, is useless. There needs to be someone who organizes the masses into a powerful force. She doesn’t get it, it would seem. Thank you, next!

We must be totally united against Trump, the Republicans in Congress and Project 2025. They are reprehensible, anti-democratic and a disgrace to our country. We must speak out loud! We must be steadfast! Every Republican in Congress must be voted out! And Trump must be totally repudiated!

leelanders.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Yes. However, we do need more than 5-10 leaders to lead so we can more quickly build from the ground up. We cannot wait. Bernie Sanders has the right idea.

I'd love to hear more from her and her husband about how the Felon-in-Chief is wrecking the Constitution.

karmadolesout.bsky.social•11 hours ago

They pleaded, presciently forewarned; said all that needed to be said, when it needed to be said & when it would’ve made a difference. She was ignored, attacked, blamed, disrespected, told to go away. Nothing left to be said now. The know-it-alls can take it from here.
