I've heard two late night show hosts talk about primary-ing these do nothing democrats in the last two weeks. The comedy media side of things are feed up too

Couldn't agree more with him. Politicians aren't going to stop this. That's who got us into this in the first place.

90 million lazy uninterested, uncommitted voters didn't give a shit who had power nor what was to come

Either we address that matter or we have no business yelling on social media at those who had all power stripped from their arsenal as they returned to congress
90 mill nonVoters gave them nothing

One of many things that needs fixing in this country, but waiting on the apathetic to become sympathetic is a slow way to die.

idk could you imagine if democrats like rallied their voter base and organized massive protests across all 50 states?

That could seem really unappealing to the more centrist Nazi collaborators.

I agree. Winning arguments in the House and Senate does nothing. We need proactive action from the Dems and anti-Trump Repubs.

I think he reffers to both Democrats and Republicans. But I'm Swedish, so I don't know about American politics.

I mean, this is a direct reference to the dumb shit democrats were doing at the speech last night

What did you want them to do then? Anything done last night would have been performative.

slop.guru•8 hours ago

there's a difference between performative for the sake of being performative & tangible actions that are *also* performative.

holding a 6 inch auction paddle with a platitude on it & frowning is the former.

mounting a vocal opposition in the chamber & forcing them to remove you is the latter.

And look how well that went for the Reps who did it last Congress. Talib and Omar lost their committee seats as did Schiff and someone else iirc. Cuz if you don’t think that the GOP won’t try to get Rep. Green removed from his assignments then idk what to tell you.

It's irrelevant. Compliance like this is useless. They either get what they want OR they get what they want. Might as well be loud and proud about it.

It only fails if the majority of the caucus hangs the brave ones out to dry. Which is what happened to the Squad, and now to Al Green. Shameful

vineivy.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Al Green did it perfectly

artisanrox.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Do the same thing Rep Al Green did

IDK, I can't go into their mind nor do I have their phone nummer to tell them to fight against the lies that pumpking faced Ruzzian kissing carrot man and his dim-witted oligarchs and fascist n@#is do towards the American democracy. Like I said, I'm just a common Swedish man who likes to draw.

They could have stood up for their colleagues. They could have walked out. They could have called out his lies.

monkeythief.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Several did walk out tho

True, and we should give active Democrats credit. But Democratic leadership has opposed even the meager resistance we saw. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/democrats-protest-reaction-trump-speech-b2709481.html

I agree. They did *something.* We ought protect and stand with our own. There is TON to critique on the right—go there.

I Don't have a problem w "weak / vulnerable / naive" ppl, I*understand their nature originated from a primal natural good / morality (compassion, empathy, understanding, acknowledgement, kindness) the world can prosper w them;
BUT HOLY SHIT, being Defenseless & wishful / in denial is ANOTHER.😫😤

Call your representative. Better yet, get a group of your friends over and call your representative together. The more people who are complaining about something to them, the more likely they will act to rectify it.

I wonder what the administration have on them and their families?? The haveb70+ million furious voters in their hands A significant amount would happily take to the streets if the Democratic leaders actually lead and inspire them to mobilise.

They're utterly spineless.

mikekeating.bsky.social•10 hours ago

why would the admin even need something on them? you said yourself, they are spineless, and they are comfortable and rich.
