Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.
What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Trump today is convenient using Marco Rubio, tomorrow he will eliminate him as he has done with many around him in the past.
From the perspective of trump and musk, it's also about fascists needing a scapegoat to point their base at, and blame *them* for all their troubles.
Immigrants. LGBTQ+. women. liberals. the list goes on and on until there's nothing left to blame.
I sure as hell didn't. Jeffries and all Dems. should call out the people they're talking about so that those people can know the democrats are working to pass legislation for them specifically and not "the American people" who got us into this mess.
(not enough facepalms in the world.)
this guy is right on
I don’t want some goddamn demagogue with a d by their name. That is definitely *not* the answer.
which everyone shat on, it would’ve changed material conditions by a lot. But, you know, he was old.
Still rolling out 'Nazi' smear in 2 or 4. Lose.
* No taxes on overtime
*Tariffs/bring back Mfg.
Even if none of them are actually implemented at least they said something, and I think that's the point on why Trump swept every battleground state and Dem's didn't flip ONE county nationwide.
Your turn...I'll wait.
Why would voters flip to Trump when he is such a jerk-face, convicted felon, and obvious grifter? What does that say about the Dem's?
Your turn.
The GOP media universe has been building up hate and anxiety against liberals, gays, and minorities for 30 years. They would have voted for him even if he were a felon conman rapist who stole America's secrets, then lied about it and tried to cover it up.
HE HATES WHO THEY HATE.
Threat to democracy and Trump is evil message didn't/don't resonate.
The neocons need to go. Big money interests need to go. War profiteers need to go.
After that, the Dem party will be worth voting for again.
Furthermore, Democrats are a party that denied FEMA aid in WNC to specific groups. A party that is now being shown to have denied aid to veterans based on their background and/or leanings.
You want to talk about a bad party? Trump threatens a blanket withholding of aid to blue states, dismantling of FEMA? Your hypocrisy is only eclipsed by your gullibility.
As for FEMA:
"Mark Harvey, Trump’s former senior director for resilience policy, told E&E News that Trump initially refused to approve disaster aid in 2018 after deadly wildfires devastates California...
“We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas … to show him these are people who voted for you...There’s no empathy for the survivors."

Your own article proves you’re lying.
We'd expect as much from something who thinks Hollywood and corporate media is truth.
The issue is that you all automatically anything "hard right" when it is factually critical of the previous administration. Your opinion is disregarded.
Blockity block block.
Genocide restrictor (there were restrictions on use of weapons).
Or
Felon and genocide enabler (who already removed the restrictions on bibi).
The whole time you were throwing a tantrum because it wasn't fair, mom was working 3 jobs anyway and wondering why you still think she is to blame.
Your joke is maybe more telling than you know.
This time will be harder, but it will eventually start turning around.
I was the counter programming. But when parents are doing it alone, or even fighting against their other parent, it breaks you down in ways that finally you also give in to the idea that we are "doomed by our ancestry"
What do democratic parties want, other than preserving something close to the status quo? Sell that!
What is the difference between a patriot and a nationalist? When watching their favorite sports team lose, the patriot says, "we were great, but we'll be better next time" while the nationalist says, "it was rigged".
Think about it.🤔🤔🤔
Most parents live and hope that their kid can live a good life...
But now?
There’s a level of maturity necessary to realize which parent is better for one in the long run, and I fear MAGA will never rise to that level.
Do you teach your kids to be silent when people make assumptions about them based on the color of their skin?
Do you teach them to have courage, even when others don't see the harm?
Your methods are not good for EVERY child.
That 2nd parent is often a narcissist, and needs the world to believe they’re a “great parent”—they even believe it themselves, because they can’t understand selfless acts.
A lot of older people put religion first but and do not look further. It's a true override of their moral system.
They work for and represent US.
They have a responsibility to talk to us.
Follow the examples of @aoc.bsky.social and @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social
A lot of Politicians out there have become nothing but grandstanding blowhards that will say anything for leverage of self benefit. 🤞🇨🇦 can get our shit together too before it’s too late
All they know are slogans:
Election was rigged. Drill baby drill. Hunter Biden's Laptop. Make America Great. 🤢
Having strong, short phrases and messaging that is coordinated, resonates and gains incredible traction is needed.
I’ve tried, but I don’t have your money in order to get any traction. I’m going to keep trying. I don’t want your damn money, I’ll do it myself, but what TF are you doing to stop this monster besides Bluesky?
Less virtue signaling/"#Resist," and more of this:
California Citrus Harvest Stop
ICE Hunters Raiding Parties.
Destroying California Citrus Harvest: $Billions losses
And the price of orange juice will skyrocket across America 75% Citrus Farm workers
Failed to report to work today for fear of marauding Ice Hunters! #CaCitrusHarvest
Please know that many Americans value the diversity and hard work that immigrant spring and we appreciate you!
We have to have charisma and spot on messaging that reaches that age group but does not alienate the older crowd.
I think I'm talking about Pete Buttigeg.
IT IS LATER THAN YOU THINK.
Democrats should be calling Republicans what they are…unpatriotic pathological liars.
we must move on from the dems and form a party for the working class
And you don’t have to believe me, believe what happened to Ross Perot when he couldn’t even muster a single electoral vote with almost 20% of the popular vote.
The two right-wing parties that we currently have will NEVER care about us. They are unreformable. Unfixable. Unsaveable.
And not just this app, but all independent journalist platforms that support and defend democracy
If I could change one thing right now it would be to only let people have a single account.
We have to do better and be more organized.
Thought that should be clarified in 🥰
I'm right there with u.
If my retirement goes I’m going to commit serious crimes and this fucking country will pay for my 3 hots and a cot I swear
Why would they amplify left wing critics of Democrats
To divide the coalitions, to prevent unity because what wins elections? Being United!!!
We have a chance to correct this
We may be able to correct it by flipping the house & senate but not by using the Rights propaganda tactics on ourselves
Get them to turn on eachother
The comments
Feels trolling
I know we are mad, sad & scared but we need to call our reps, they need to hear from us but with every single Ds vote these cabinet members will still be confirmed
We can do this as long as we stay focused and learn to unite
While we put pressure on our reps I’ve shared more information on how to stay safe & help people in our communities
They may budge
For every call we make I bet they get three from MAGA
Make your voices louder
You want your party to advocate for you? Give them the power. If they don’t deliver then get mad by writing & calling them
Otherwise we are advocatless
The Progressives are the CENTER Moderates, while the Wall Street Dems are the right-of-center Eisenhower-Republicans.
The GOP has gone full bore fascist.
The Wall Street Dems played into this bullshit, and willingly so. The SuperDs gotta go.
Give us a notice that things being voted on are going to get worse.
WE MUST FORM A NEW PARTY
They are still in the era where bi-partisanship was not uncommon, and before Citizens United allowed dark money to corrupt our political system even more.
They're old school, and can't come to terms with the reality of politics today.
And to stop playing integrity politics with $Trump's maga Oligarch Billionaire party!
Take a page from Canada's Charlie Angus.
He says what needs to be said.
Could we also do a NIH or medical site? We’d rather get info directly from them anyway.
Representation is key to seeing marginalized people as human & worthy of inherent dignity.
But if we see individuals as worthy of love and care, then we may feel obliged to care for them in return.
And that’s not profitable.
Bluesky is just a simple forum (nearly an echo chamber). The hope is the cult sees the idiocracy of FOTUS.

You and I know that Dems could do both, but let's keep it under our top hats!
Haven’t got a compass and going in circles; not making headway.
Democrat men need to resign!!!! They're fukking embarrassing!!
.
Republicans think that Pete Hegseth is better than or equal to 4-star general Lloyd Austin.
because Austin is Black and Hegseth is white.
Most people wouldn't like his first term.
All the while he continues to fail upwards.
I wonder if he knows that he’s an imposter.
The homeland is in more danger than ever before because of Republicans and their voters.
Fail
But with all of the follower mindset sheep, and she having less than four months to campaign when he spent the past four years campaigning, she was kind of screwed from the get-go. I think you must have misunderstood something. That, or you like picking fights for no reason.
A viral meme has more impact on the population than an in-depth article (even just a screenshot of an article header with the lead photo gets more traction than the article itself, it seems). All this is ignoring the staunch tribalism pur politics have created.
They're gone. Just nutbars this time.
Just a handful. What happened to the unified front during the campaign?
Only the most outspoken are taking on this role, IMO. 🤷🏻♀️
Perhaps need the #CountyOverParty to organize.Thoughts?
Vote on the 21st, Fetterman voted ‘Yea’ ⁉️
Stories told by real people in their own words is powerful.
The problem is lots of other directly impacted folks told themselves that Trump surely didn't mean *them*, just *those other people*. *Them*.
Thsys hard to beat when your team bails at the slightest diagreement.
The dream would be that Mark (or someone else of extraordinary means) supports an alternative Instagram/Tik-tok social media platform. Give folks a Meta alternative w/privacy protection.
Oh...that's right.. the corrupt biden controlled FBI.
Responsible for Russia collusion.
Alpha bank hoax.
Yadda yadda yadda.
This dude is spitting the same thing as all the dems.
You guys still havnt figured out why you lost
Do you realize he was president before?
Do you understand that legacy media made all the same exact same claims 8 years ago?
Were not too worried.
Worry about your own country.
Put your mask on. Take your shot. Stay in line like the left tells you to do
They offered doomsday crap his first 4 years.
None of it happened
And it won't now.
However...he does mean business.
And I'd agree..there's more of a threat of CW than ever before
But even that wouldn't last
Again...we knew what he was...and 11 days into this term..he's doing exactly what he said he would do
They keep bringing strongly worded letters to a cage match. Need more spectacle!
And he is in with open arms.
That is trump's twisted world
I feel as if they mostly gave up on us.
That's truth to power...
I think there r too many members, like the 12 Senators that voted for Trump's mass immigration bill (incld my 2 from NH) that are not speaking out against MAGA policies!
I'm 4 term limits Congress & SC
Two things are going on that make Americans uncomfortable.
1) A president is leading and this hasn't been seen in a presidential in a long time.
2) People want to see calmness in gov. Democracy is messy. Calmness can be had in Russia and China.
Yell that if we have to get rid of the criminals coming in, first they have to get rid of the 2 time impeached president, felon with 34 felony counts
Eventually, there will not be enough taxpayers left to cover the public sector salaries of the Democratic party members.
Sounds like the communist party pamphlets instead.
I’m excited for @skylight.social beta testing to let us know what they think! It’s needed, to help us to care for community.
The old approach won’t work and we need leaders who are fearless and able to navigate a new time. The unwillingness to move aside for the sake of progress is exhausting. And the unwillingness to change course is dangerous
We are a nation of greed and repulsive gluttons.
How to get them to the ignorati who voted for DonTheCON?
https://dlcc.org/
"that's a fucking lie!" is going to get way more attention than "that's a lie".
Or, if they just started calling them what they are: corrupt pieces of shit. Imagine how often Harris calling trump a "rapey bastard" would have been aired?
This is what we are up against.
