I’m sorry everyone but I’ve noticed this too

Maybe it's just the algoritm, but at this moment, the only people I see standing up for democracy are excommunicated Republicans and a few, mostly female, democrates of color. With this guy at the for front.
Maybe it's time for a new party, with actual principles.

I'm a former, life-long Republican--now a grateful Democrat.
Maybe we can avoid bashing each other. I agree, the Republican party is lost, and we need a new party.
Jamie Raskin, Bennie Thompson, AOC, Mark Kelly, Amy Klobuchar, Jeff Merkley, Adam Schiff, Elissa Slotkin, Rafael Warnock, Janelle Bynum, Jasmine Crocket, Pete Aguilar, Tim Waltz, and many others.
We can't just say, "They need to do more!" We must do more, too.
She voted Yes on the racist and fascist Laken Riley Act.
She's met the moment with this sentiment: "Everything is going to be okay." As her constituent, I can assure her that everything WILL NOT BE OKAY. Especially when she joins the House GOP on racist legislation.
Nobody likes getting cut.
Winning is the goal now.
Because second place makes you the first loser.

Democrats can put on a stronger show of opposition, but they would be taken more seriously with some support from more fellow republicans.
And moral turpitude.
i.e. Be the hero you need.
Meanwhile, 5,000 Fuck Trump memes get 100,000 followers!
My seriously liberal friends will not even go off Amazon. It’s not like we’re asking them to stand on a firing squad line.
I just don’t understand why they aren’t more committed to this. Lots of admiration for you and Liz Cheney. !

Afraid of angering anyone.
Those 3 are now the public leaders of the Democratic Party.

Right now, there are over 400 protests coming up in the next few weeks across the US, and I've already logged another 400 that have already happened just since March 1st

Shut it down and Musk may not let some come back. How did he get that power?
Take to the streets and take your country back, by whatever means necessary.
Be brave like Ukraine 🇺🇦
They thought it was cool and sexy. They were talking about trickle down economics which basically said, give all your money to rich people.
Adam Kinzinger if you were to stand up and move towards representing the people I would support you.
Don't do it.
And creating a new democrat-adjacent party would only splinter our power.
TIM WALZ
BERNIE SANDERS
JAMIE RASKIN
AOC
JASMINE CROCKET
There are more. Lend them your support and voice.
Have seen a lot from Raskin (MD), Van Hollen (MD), Cohen (TN), Kelly (AZ), just to name a few. Just off the top of my head.
Here’s the rub, mainline Dems & hardcore progressives don’t trust anti Trumpers. It’s a shame but they think once Trump is gone they will abandon them & resurrect the GOP. Misguided notions at best.
They're proving Betty White 100% correct.
Ever since escaping religious patriarchy, I've been doing my part to flip the script in the name of equality:
"That guy needs to grow a pair of overaries" etc etc
😉
I want to still deserve democracy when the smoke clears.
Otherwise, who are we bothering to save it for?
I think we're both being fed a narrative by the algorithm. It's important not to buy into too deeply.

On this calendar day to pick a winning ticket would be Murphy-Crockett
Buttigieg is out and about too if we’re going to demographic.
The critical flaw in leadership today is age!
Get the geriatrics out of leadership now! That and Jeffries needs to grow a set
Cut off the money and show them the door. In theory another party is way overdue BUT the we should change to parliamentary processes since coalitions are required to defeat oligarchies
There are no rules concerning party in the political arena.
Shumer and Jeffries both act like they made a deal to police their own party and present the illusion of choice to the peasants.
They both rose to power because of their abilities to fundraise for the party, not lead. They're probably compromised.

No more Texas Donut.
I'm sure Texas Toast will follow.

They have no idea how to communicate. We need new leaders NOW!
The Citizen’s Rights Party – Championing individual rights while ensuring responsibility to the law.
Or
The American Integrity Party – Highlighting honesty, accountability, and constitutional values.
Which shall we go with?
Many more are leading the fight, and many of them are white men.
You’re not in the forefront, although you’re a powerful voice.
A third party would be a gift to the GOP/disaster for the world.
@marcelias.bsky.social are very vocal. But I agree that the Dems as a whole are NOT meeting the moment.
