Agreed but what are they really doing? I’ve heard next to nothing over the recent days. Crickets per usual

amyb-abq.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think it says a lot that they haven’t already done this! How many Dems will benefit from this takeover. Hard for me to believe otherwise at this point.

anxiouspepper.bsky.social•2 days ago

NY Governor Hogul is doing this right now. She is telling federal workers that NY is hiring.

joannesapelo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agreed! Pete Buttigieg should do it and call it “The Daily Debriefing.” I would watch for sure and I think it would be a huge hit.

Buttigieg is on BlueSky let’s all ask him!!

I’ve been muttering this same notion under my breath ever since Trump Regime II grabbed power. Thanks for writing this out loud!
So many qualified Americans, including military leaders, have been kicked to for refusing to kiss a**: if we ALL unified we would win the revolt by spring thaw!!

Democrats should also be mobilizing constituents in protest. When this happened in Ukraine, it was the opposition government that lit the flame. Enough of the do-nothing, it's time to act. Make the ruling class face the people they exploit.

tkkorf.bsky.social•2 days ago

Great idea!

cammyt.bsky.social•2 days ago

I keep saying this and hoping someone will listen and do it!

snarkyanglican.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Dems should have a parallel opposition government structure and have Pete Buttigieg give daily presses to all the media.

meredithjerome.bsky.social•2 days ago

I just wrote that. They need to have an alt. Gov. And we will donate!!!

lilbit1.bsky.social•2 days ago

LOVE THIS.

avataranywhere.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, a shadow cabinet that should say what a Dem
Administration would be doing in response to what is happening now.

miloramone.bsky.social•2 days ago

Maybe a third party for the rest of us could do this instead? “The Dems” have been spayed/neutered.

orianap.bsky.social•2 days ago

They have been bought

The Working Families Party is fire.

Nice!

Dafuq is THAT supposed to mean?

boudicca2017.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Then start one. I was a Green for 10 years but they never became a force so I’ve been voting mostly Dem

kumach4n.bsky.social•2 days ago

I agree, Milo.

miloramone.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks. We need to stick together these days.

nafo-harris4prz.bsky.social•2 days ago

We do but splitting the opposition will make it tougher to defeat this fascist regime. There is a good portion of the Democratic Party that is very valuable to have on our side. And with the FPTP voting system and the way Congress is structured, it's not like we could form a coalition govt

inkgypsy.bsky.social•2 days ago

THIS☝️☝️☝️ We need a shadow cabinet and it's urgent. Trouble is I don't think Dems can manage it. A coalition shadow cabinet might work though, if they can rally immediately. *looks around, notices the crickets have appeared early this year*

sonturist.bsky.social•2 days ago

They need a Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General and Press Secretary. That would be a good start. At least a daily morning briefing to go over the previous days events.

inkgypsy.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep. Many other democracies have a shadow cabinet as part of the checks and balances. The positions needed are easy to list but holy moly trying to figure out who could truly fill each slot is tough! But I'd willingly apply myself if I could help vote! Communication with the People is SO important!

sonturist.bsky.social•2 days ago

Secretary of State = Liz Chaney or Adam Kinzinger
Secretary of Defense = the navy Admiral
Attorney General = Jack Smith
Press Secretary = Pete Buttigieg

sonturist.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m sure independent media will cover it especially if it’s fact based and precise with graphics.

chrid42.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Dems are already doing what they would be doing. The same thing they always do: nothing of any use to anyone but themselves. They're no small part of the reason we're in this mess. Fuck them.

traceecart.bsky.social•2 days ago

Love the shadow cabinet. Love Pete out in front to whoever said that above. I would suggest we de Dem-ify it. We have got to get out of the mindset that we are the Dems and this is a political issue. We are the resistance and the issue is who we are as a nation and how we are governed.

traceecart.bsky.social•2 days ago

If we try to make it about individual issues we are going to be hamsters on crack because everything is an issue. Rule of law. Human rights. Separation of powers.

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oooh let’s all brainstorm. Parliamentary or presidential?

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’d like to pay my taxes to them instead. As for spokesperson Pete is too ‘gay’ for bigots who wouldn’t listen, tragically.

trifid73.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sad, yet likely true.

snarkyanglican.bsky.social•2 days ago

He was on Fox News constantly during his time in the cabinet. He's a veteran and is nobody's fool.

areformersadvocate.bsky.social•2 days ago

I didn’t know that! If they’d have him though maybe not as many MAGAs are as LGBTQ phobic as I’d feared. After 2 MAGA death threats just for being a librarian and all Trumps focus on trans in the campaign I’m spooked.

The Governor of Maryland, where many DC employees live, said the State of Maryland would huge priority to placing laid off Feds in state jobs.

We have been begging for a daily presser from the dems. Our news is now controlled.
