"Our country is currently being burned to the ground by mean, crazy men so we are going to wear matching dresses. That'll fix it!"

Reposted from New York Magazine

Democratic lawmakers are expected to communicate their opposition to Donald Trump during the president’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday night by color-coordinating.

"We wore white last time, let's wear pink this time to show them we really, really mean it!"

zigzaggreen.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think this was stupid as well they should have walked out one every couple of minutes each one making a big show of it so he would have to shut up each time.

badbagelbruja.bsky.social•4 days ago

Wear pink. That’ll show’em! 🤦‍♀️ not turning their backs. Not wearing flags upside down, not wearing rainbow colors. Just pink. With a centrist rebuttal.

silent-skies.bsky.social•4 days ago

Did they have a contest to come up with the WORST idea?

4gabriel.bsky.social•4 days ago

What’s annoying is they match each other but they don’t match us. 😞

twintamer.bsky.social•4 days ago

Perfect response!

4gabriel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m sick of being accused of not being a team player for relaying that what they are doing isn’t helping. That’s not an attack- sorry it couldn’t be something nicer but it has to be said. You can’t plan if you can’t communicate. You can’t adapt if you can’t communicate. They need thicker skins

mkmcdaniels.bsky.social•4 days ago

That will show em!!!!!!!!

NOT!

momoduff.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s a visual symbol to millions of people…but it looks like they didn’t do it

forbin17.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ugh

cathyk.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sad. They are looking so weak and pathetic.

spunky323.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just ridiculous!

junebug1925.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not showing up or walking out on camera is not a response.
The woman are wearing pink to stand out on cameras more than the sea of suits.
But listening to his lies as he disses the Dems whether they are there or not is the responsibility of elected politicians anyway

keeptherepublic.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is worse than Schumer yelling "We will win!"

casey-casey-casey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Impotent losers. We need a new party. At this point they’re complicit

gokamala.bsky.social•4 days ago

Now if they all came dressed as Zelensky, that would be a statement. Still not gonna solve the problem though. 😩

m22-5.bsky.social•4 days ago

I thought this too.

bizthenavigator.bsky.social•4 days ago

We are so unbelievably fucked

kyotiwiles.bsky.social•4 days ago

Would have been better if they wore hoods with Make America Great Again written on them

daddybearinca.bsky.social•3 days ago

orjoyce.bsky.social•4 days ago

a great point. Who needs leadership and bold moves when we can dress alike?

bobsmacbox.bsky.social•4 days ago

Weapons are not allowed

bobsmacbox.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s not like an elementary school

bekind2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sorry to say this but they are weak and pathetic. It would have made a huge impact if half the floor was EMPTY. Trump would have hated that, talking to empty chairs. But no, Democrats are always trying to play nice and be respectful, and show decorum, blah blah blah. Ugh!

odonata73.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don't know if they all dressed like Zelenskyy it would be due interesting to see trumps reaction.

BTW will trump be hawking his wares from the podium tonight? You know hats, sneakers, fake watches, worthless coins.

dan-weber.bsky.social•3 days ago

“Guys….hear me out”

chudman.bsky.social•4 days ago

So overyawning.

Unless it's yellow and blue, don't bother...sigh.

englehart-cc.bsky.social•4 days ago

That would have been a good move.

clothdragon.bsky.social•3 days ago

We hired them as our legal representatives not pugilists our assassins. If we must resort to extra-legal responses we need to look elsewhere and either DIY or hire someone else.

cybirr.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not showing up would be a better protest.

hollymalinde.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh. That will really do it.

yarnlover.bsky.social•2 days ago

FYI, @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social, this appallingly weak response made me ashamed of being Democrat.
But at least I'm not GOP!
And thank you Rep. Al Green!

gbauer1833.bsky.social•4 days ago

Boy, that'll teach him. 🤣

thekbexperience.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is why no one is scared of Democrats or takes them seriously.

holdmymargarita.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nothing says hey take me seriously like a nice bit of color coordination...it's like a freaking episode of the twilight zone but we don't get a commercial break

Well, that will show them. JFC

It's time for new leadership. Put AOC or Crockett in charge

walker-larry.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think “pink dress“ means “I want you to replace me at the next election”…

bobyost.bsky.social•4 days ago

Don't forget about the matching accessories!

adjunctangel.bsky.social•3 days ago

these assholes think the same strategy of the useless code pink will stop a full blown treasonous insurrection... we are seeing just how ineffective certain representatives are and making it easier to decide who needs to be replaced with progressives

tacoop.bsky.social•4 days ago

Seriously?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

unclecranky.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are we underestimating the power of accessorizing?

hoyabull.bsky.social•4 days ago

Pathetic. Dems have NO plan. We need a leader and there isn't a single worthy one on the bench

quanglewangle65.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don’t understand this at all. Most Americans are terrified with what is happening to our country. This just isn’t taking this situation seriously.

silent-skies.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m completely beside myself. It’s so bad, it’s toxic. They could have not shown up at all, and that would be better. All they are doing is legitimizing him, embarrassing the party, and refusing to show even a hint of true protest. Disheartening. Devastating. Worthless.

redhardino.bsky.social•4 days ago

Durbin will look stylish in a little pink number.

jduberger.bsky.social•4 days ago

That reminds me of a little girl doing some fancy skating in the backyard, while a gang of criminals is tearing down her house, r@ping her mom and beating her dad to de@th!

Did they get the coordinated outfit idea from Mean Girls?

danlitt.bsky.social•4 days ago

And we are going to sit and watch helplessly.

Waiting for others to take to the streets in protest so we can watch them as well while doing nothing.

chainmailedheart.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've already been protesting three times, and I'm ready to go again.
Let's raise hell.

I want my reps to fistfight each other over policy. "Oh, that's your plan huh, willing to get punched in the face over it? Because I am mine."

No questions epitomize resistance to authoritarianism like, “So who are you wearing tonight? Is that Valentino?”

bumpas.bsky.social•4 days ago

Well they can’t protest verbally because the fascist caucus has threatened arrest to Democrats that “disrupt” Kim Jong Bafoon’s State of the Union.

lukemoto.bsky.social•4 days ago

If they were serious they'd hold out their wrists for the cuffs.

chainmailedheart.bsky.social•3 days ago

"On Wednesdays, we wear pink!"

earlbo.bsky.social•4 days ago

One thing for sure is as a party the democrats need a forceful agenda with a big set of brass balls!
And counter each Repubelictards rhetoric with equal words!

win4t.bsky.social•4 days ago

I cannot believe this is the response. They should not show up. Or better yet -- they should show up and then leave slowly, one by one.

My thoughts from this morning as well. Boycotting just leaves spreading out room for maga zealots and a message of abandonment.

wow democracts have realy showed farce today, I mean force. farce: a light dramatic composition marked by broadly satirical comedy and improbable plot. 2. : an empty or patently ridiculous act, proceeding, or situation. - keep it going democrats you are doing great

Sadly, it’s the most productive thing the Democratic Party has done in a decade.

cookierambles.bsky.social•3 days ago

And send the black dude out there as the first sacrifice. WTF Democrats! Do better! Y'all wonder why people won't show out to vote? You keep sacrificing minorities for your "civility".

Get some fucking ball Democrats.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social really? Get a rapid response team together and get those responses to tfg’s repulsive actions. Could you treat this like democracy is dying rather than some passive protest. There are experts to help.
