I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.
Comments
They should all be connecting directly with the voters right now.
Most of them don't. (Just a passion to keep their seat.)
You’ve had more than sufficient time to thaw out from the initial freeze state - if you haven’t, you’ll not the constituent burn rising from all directions 🗺️
They can’t hit
Edit feature needed.
you helped get us here my dude
you can be anti trump but we are not your friends
They are literally throwing time, money, and influence down the drain because of a “this is how we’ve always done it” mentality.
These consultants pushing their outdated methods cost the Harris campaign dearly.
When you rely on individuals and centralized voices, you create individual and centralized targets for the opposition to halt the momentum.
And had no idea
Democrats have
Never
Been in the minority before
Get out there and hammer home that tariffs are a national sales tax that will raise prices on every average American. The Trump administration is trying to shift the tax burden from income to tariff, and that's a sales tax.
It's harder to pressure Republicons over social issues because they don't care what happens to people.
Gov. Wes Moore actually spoke in Spanish in one of his posts & I’d say putting in that effort makes a difference to Spanish speakers. That’s IF they wanna reach those voters.
An indefinite protest.
Is it sincere or willful incompetence...I don't know and I don't know what is worse...
You should work with Mark Cuban and some journalists, academics, former officials, celebs, etc to build a non-profit media foundation to fund and support journalism and free speech, and fight disinformation.
@christalespain.bsky.social is working hard to contest every seat. 1/
@annieandrewsmd.bsky.social never backed down and fights every day for all children and all people 2/
Drop sales=drop share price. Thats the collateral for elons loans.
Go to https://teslatakedown.com to find or create a protest party near you! 180+ events last week in 7 countries.
Modern Republicans value reps who destroy and ignore. So them doing a podcast is seen as an anti-government positive.
In the Democratic Party… doing a podcast is seen as “why aren’t you in your office working???”
The auditorium was filled to its 300 person capacity. At least that many stood in line and were unable to get a seat.
Bigger venue next time.
Great job Indivisible Wilmington!
Of congress talking thr exact same talking points
What Would Mitch McConnell Do?
....Do that!
If Musk is cheating, it'll be much easier to catch him in a small district election than in a federal one.
Guy: “Do liberals take it?”
Doctor: “Well… yeah.”
Guy: “Then I’d rather die.”
Doctor: “Okay, but it’s free.”
Guy: suddenly revives in anger “FREE?! THAT'S SOCIALISM!!”
It has more to do with will than numbers.
and that man has all the gumption and spine of a bag of sand
Gotta keep Schumer's "we won't do anything to make you feel uncomfortable" grift going.
Neil.
Some of them are so great about connecting in these spaces. I need to be better about sharing the episodes
Making them the minority party had serious consequences. The voters fucked up.
I live in Eastern Washington. I am represented by Micheal Baumgartner.
He recently had several town halls.
To say they went bad is an understatement.
The local paper reported on this.
I intend to campaign against him when reelection happens.
PS- I sent them money to support John Tester, but they didn’t.
PPS- IM A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT. 😡
@schumer.senate.gov
@fetterman.senate.gov
@klobuchar.senate.gov
And that is blue State Secession.
Republican members of Congress need to be made more afraid of their constituents than of Donald Trump. That is the only way we are going to get him out of the White House.
A good town hall requires more effort than a podcast. And that's how older people will grade you.
They’re utterly unfit to lead in this moment.
Waky waky !!
There is NOTHING that dems, peaceful resistance, or opposition that will not be reframed as terrible by right wing media. There’s only wrong answers in that direction.
Every night of the year, 7-8 pm.
In RED areas.
A different Dem personality (Pete, Bernie, AOC, Newsome, Shapiro, Crockett, etc.) appears.
10-minute intro on latest news. 50-minutes of q/a.
Bigger names 2-3 dates/month.
Face voters. Answer questions. Repeat.
11,000 people in Greenly, CO to listen Sen Sanders & AOC last night.
How about more this you fucking desk jockeys?
FFS Lead or get the fuck out of the way, like resign
It's called GREELEY
He had no answer.
He’s a good guy. Been doing this job WAY too long. Trying to play by rules that have been (literally) flushed.
Do they not see what Walz, AOC and Bernie are doing?
The opposition is doing doctrinal information warfare.
The problem isn't messaging.its the press.
The only lie bigger then conservative ideology is the Washington consensus.
American institutions were destroyed by terrorists and the press sold it as entertainment.
Stop looking for logic, consistency or morality in trump's behaviour.
Stop pontificating about how bad he is,how media would've reacted if President (insert name) had done such a crazy/immoral/offensive thing.
The whole world knows it's bad and insane
Start taking practical actions.
Getting Dems into the majority is what we have to do. Overcoming R cheating. Whatever it takes. Bitching is a useless waste of time against the monsters in the majority.
Dems made them pass a CR that kept the Biden budget going.
I held your opinion at first. But after studying the decision, listening to discussions and reading, I changed my mind.
And I refuse to participate in Dem bashing because it plays into Trump/Musk hands.
I was among his worst critics but feel that I'm waking up more & more to the reality of being in the minority. I'll trust his skill for now & work for majority.
"Federal courts could operate for several weeks without congressional funding, relying on fees and other funds, but eventually would have to scale back activity."

Schumer should have shut it down.
And made them OWN their actions.
They did the exact opposite and pushed through a pick.
Democrats got played twice.
Sure, we do:
Big Money Party #1, or
Big Money Party #2.
On top of that they could refuse to show up in congress and deny a quorum for starters.
How about rising en-masse and disrupting any and all proceedings.
And appealing to members from swing districts to think before voting.
Watch and Repost

This administration (actually it is a regime!) has illegally arrested, detained and/or deported so many people without due process, one of these cases will get through. Then they will deport ANYONE THEY WANT.

Is someone to watch. She’s out there talking to rural dems and has been for years.
@bartlettb.bsky.social
Never do nothing.
Ever.
Seems easier going against their own.
They are missing the boat on the energy that is out there right now.
And how about listening to the constituents jamming your phone lines?

Everybody has bad days.
The Democratic Party is rudderless. It’s alleged “leaders” are feckless centrists that couldn’t punch their way out of a wet paper sack.
Progressives need a NEW party with REAL leaders!
https://bsky.app/profile/shareprotestpix.bsky.social/post/3lklloelpmk2h
Anyway, back to the point, we need Dems to be doing their actual jobs, not running podcasts or on book tours.
But you yellow feckless cowards can't do anything so you give up or worse, vote WITH them? Fuck you.
Dem Leadership is an Oxymoron with the emphasis on 'moron'
It might import the chicken as well.
The only thing America is good at is making weapons, from military grade to hand guns.
What are you good at these days?!
They'd better get organised!

They have seriously lost their way, too cozy with the big donors to their reelection campaign and too timid in their policies and strategies.
Time for change.
It’s their job iow!
Time for them to change up the game.
I’ve been after them for 30yrs to recognize the task is NOT to measure public opinion and respond (the polling/strategist class) but to SHAPE public sentiment.
They neither get it, nor could do it if they did.
They still haven’t booted Schumer
