One of the few Democrats bothering to oppose Trump with substance and aggression. God, our senators in particular are so ossified and pathetic. Rich guy class traitor 2028 to take on the oligarchs tanking our economy? I wouldn't mind some FDR energy. - ThreadSky

Pritzker says the "thousands of people who fly in and out Illinois every day deserve to travel without fear of preventable disaster and danger" need answers from the Trump admin on American Airlines Flight 5342

Also a shout out to Senator Chris Murphy.

Ngl, I'll take a class traitor if it means they betrayed the upper class.

Not all class traitorism is bad! Cautiously optimistic Pritzker will continue what he's doing.

csquared5396.bsky.social•23 days ago

My only concern about Pritzker is "is he genuine?"

T**** played the class traitor, not well, and was able to convince the GOP base to vote for him. How can we be sure Pritzker isn't the same for the Dems?

I'll admit I haven't been focused on Illinois politics to really know their Gov.

Ossified - good use

izaiahh.bsky.social•22 days ago

I think we know where the billionaire stands on class issues

jrodhendo.bsky.social•22 days ago

The bar is so low we need James Cameron to pull it up.

vikesfan47.bsky.social•23 days ago

Hopefully Walz joins him in this mission

sigmala.bsky.social•23 days ago

We’re ready to be the Sardaukar in Chairman Pritzger’s army of posters 🫡 towards his glorious mission of decomodifying the essentials of life.

ridgecaples.bsky.social•23 days ago

If there will even be a free election in 2028….

nuclearneo577.bsky.social•23 days ago

Pritzker is the One Good Billionaire™ and the only person who I would vote for in the 2028 primary besides AOC.

csquared5396.bsky.social•23 days ago

Honestly, AOC is my pick

Regardless, the Dems have the appearance that "they're thumbing the scale." ie: Bernie being blocked twice

Pelosi blocking AOC's seat on Oversight is more evidence of that habit.

The Dems also need more young blood. The leadership needs to listen to the ones they have

scooterbones.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thumbing the scale does give off those scale thumbing vibes

quarterrican04.bsky.social•23 days ago

"I'm an actual billionaire" was the line that ended all hope for me that he was an actual class traitor. We can hope for better

Anyone that had a fear of flying is definitely not going to fly unless they have too. Planes used to be safest form of travel, but that is going to change. The understaffed air traffic controllers and the lack of proper FAA

cyberjesus.bsky.social•23 days ago

We need to fire the senate. They are useless. Flat out.

ericleitzen.bsky.social•23 days ago

If there ain't m4a

I will stay the hell away

afroburrito.bsky.social•23 days ago

I understand what you're saying, but Pritzker has nothing to lose. He's rich AF, a white man, not in Congress...and wants to be POTUS.

elongmunch.bsky.social•23 days ago

So you’re justifying congressional inaction because they’re protecting their careers? Not the defense you think it is

afroburrito.bsky.social•23 days ago

No dumb ass, I'm saying they're scared.

But WTF do you want them them DO? They are the MINORITY.

This shit is what people voted for. Don't put words in my mouth.

I am done with motherfuckers belittling.

feybuns.bsky.social•23 days ago

You're actively belittling people too tho. The minority party's job is to be the opposition. Did you not live through Obama's terms? Be like McConnel. They aren't doing ANY opposition right now. In a lot of cases they're just giving the Trump admin everything they want (looking at you Fetterman).

elongmunch.bsky.social•23 days ago

Just keep doubling down 😂

Explain to me why so many Democrats have voted for any of Trumps nominees.

They just so scared so they have to go along with the fascism?

I’m sure you’ll have another excuse why these governors like Walz and Pritzker are the only ones speaking out..

froggy-guy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Wouldn't that make his pursuit of a more Just society, more notable?!??

I'm confused what is your point!

afroburrito.bsky.social•23 days ago

JFC...

I don't have much love for Schumer or his ilk, but doubt they're thinking, "Hmmm, how can I make society more shit."

Again...THEY ARE THE MINORITY.

November 5 voters had a choice, a chance to stop this. They didn't.

The writing was on the fucking wall...

feybuns.bsky.social•23 days ago

So this is a mealy mouthed defense of chuck schumer?

The establishment Washington Dems fucked up and continue to fuck up. Pritzker is substantially better than they are because he fights at least. Schumer and Jeffries just lay down and essentially say "god take the wheel".

They're pathetic

scooterbones.bsky.social•23 days ago

He's doing the brave work of issuing critical statements to sympathetic media with no action or risk obligated on his part, just like FDR

froggy-guy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Would depend entirely on what type of people he was going to surround himself with and what his platform would be.

However, Democrats need a fucking fighter right now. A gunslinger like a JFK.

bmarcusr.bsky.social•21 days ago

This Governor does stand apart from far too many lily livered democrats. We have to encourage everyone to vote in the midterms. I'm a progressive, but we can worry about a purity contest. It's about consolidation against trump and maga.
