I’ll be at one tomorrow! Let’s go we need to publicly shame these people!

This dude has a few flies on him, too. Lots of drone usage killing innocent civilians and laughing it up with Donald Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Just another politician...

People like this is why we can't have nice things. They push the casual voter out by convincing them that because the person, in this case Obama or last year it was Harris, because they are not the perfect pony they wanted, we shouldn't support them.
Don't listen to them. VOTE.

hamiltonasseiro.bsky.social•5 days ago

Sure vote. Maybe diversity is good, too. Like Jesse Ventura said in the past - all America has, are two federal political parties. Like two gangs Jesse compared them to. Is this co incidence or just a rigged system in the US of A?

So tired of this bullshit about a third party solution. I would absolutely support an alternative but no viable alternative has presented itself.
The Green Party is a scam. The Libertarian Party is a scam.

These are unserious people that come out of the woodwork every 4 years and fade back just as quickly. They are not serious about building up a real and viable political party. They are doing it for the clicks and campaign funding. They are not serious people.

Why do I say that? Because they have existed for decades but cannot even field local candidates in multiple states. They cannot even field a presidential candidate in all 50 states. Their only claim to fame is as a spoiler candidate.

The depth of dishonor and failure of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. We elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. Now their tyranny. sad!

You all are absolutely insufferable.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•5 days ago

About the only thing they will fight for.

zebathome.bsky.social•5 days ago

If that is what you took from this, grow up.

halfcourtshot.bsky.social•4 days ago

What part isn't true? They have no spine, no plans to fight other then to complain and be surprised even though Republicans have been telling us for years this was their goals etc. Ordinary citizens are fighting back. It's the Democrats who refuse to fight.

zebathome.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's what you took away from this?

zebathome.bsky.social•4 days ago

You all will be insufferable to the end of democracy.

"For, in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, 'holds office'; every one of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities."

Oh please stop with the forever-war, corporate-friendly Dem elites, posing as the people's party. Give us AOC and Bernie. Fight Oligarchy!

Well, the American citizen needs to rise up against Trump’s tyranny before it’s too late.

Barack Obama is right. The most important office in any democracy is the citizen. When a democracy fails, as ours is now doing, the fault lies with the citizens.

Too bad President Obama can't be President for a few more terms. *sigh* I miss the days of the WhiteSox/tan suit/dad jeans guy in charge.

Too weak. Too late. Not alarmist. Too normalizing of what is happening. Too calm. Too steady. Too too relaxed.

And speaking of, did you hear this bombshell ruling from the North Carolina Court of Appeals? They're now trying to in a 2-1 vote, steal an election where Allison Riggs won by tossing 65,000+ votes unless they correct these registration errors within 15 business days. https://bsky.app/profile/santiagomayer.com/post/3llzv75enfc2s

mellongraig.bsky.social•4 days ago

To me, this is not right... and we need to spread the word that if the GOP get away with this, they will do it elsewhere.

That being said, we need to contact these legal voters to tell them to fix these errors ASAP as many of them may not know their vote may not count. https://thegriffinlist.com/

If you don't vote or didn't vote, even in a red gerrymandered state. If you didn't do everything possible to jump through every hoop, no matter the stumbling blocks before you, to vote, then sit the fnck down because the adults are talking.
The time for excuses and BS is over.
