Why the fuck is a single Democrat voting to confirm the fascist's absurdly unqualified cabinet nominations? You think bipartisanship is gonna tone down the fascism? If I were them, I'd be twirling my Hitler stasche and laughing at us right now.

Exactly. I have decided to leave the Democratic Party after this vote. It’s a bridge too far for me. My monthly contribution will go to AOC. We can’t trust our own party to do the right thing for us.
I'm pretty sure their very wealthy donors don't want anything to change too much. Maybe Amy Klobuchar is just following directions. We already know Chuck Schumer is.
When it comes to re-election, they think they have us over a barrel, because not voting for them means a GOP wins.
If they act the like GOP, why would I care to elect them.
We need new blood in the Dem party. I'm tired of the almost GOP.
In reality there are gonna do wild fundraising either way
We definitely need people in office who come from our communities, who work in community with community, who know how to organize, who have been organizing.
Once again, the democrats have failed our democracy and the people who elected them, and thanks to their leniency, today we have the first North American dictator in the White House.
The “time for niceties” ship sailed long ago. You can’t be nice to NAZIS!!! You don’t play bipartisan games with NAZIS. If you vote with the NAZIS, you might as well be a NAZI!
They've been complicit with the Rs for a very long time, and now more and more they're showing their true colors. Whomever you thought the democrats were, they're not now. For those of us who support neither party, they never were...
Good to see people waking up and speaking up (myself included) that R vs D is just a great big distraction. Different sides to the same coin. Only something new and relentless will even begin to address this final slide into oligarchy
Dems need to wake up and stop playing the bipartisan BS because there is going to be no Democratic Party if they keep this up. People are already talking about walking away from them like they walked away from us!
The idea is to win elections in 2026 so democrats can do something about the policies and control the money. Only thing that is going to tone down the fascism is to win elections. Have to play the game.
The cynic in me thinks they’re more worried about saving their own skins. Political expediency above all else. I have to try really hard to quell the cynic.
Yes, sometimes you have to make a “save the seat” vote especially when the GOP has the votes to confirm. That means people in safe seats vote against and people in vulnerable seats vote yes supported by their colleagues in the state. Nothing prevents anyone from challenging anyone from
This is why Tillis, an R, voted for Hegseth. He can’t win without MAGA and they would burn him down if he voted No. I just hope we don’t burn our D Senators with our disappointment on these votes. We need to think ahead. We need to hold all Senate seats up in 2026 and we need to pick up a few—
They have no party without us. We have to have a coordinated response to them now. Rank and file Democrats need to call them out publicly, shame them (The Vichy Congress) and make our anger and demands very clear. To start I'd love to blanket DC with "ads" on billboards, busses, and TV for a week
I’d really like to Tim Kaine to explain himself because right now I’m really regretting voting for him again. Now is not the time to be spineless and weak.
I've been commenting the same. Dems need to unify and vote NO on every nominee. It's easy. The simplest thing they can do. NO. Don't give an inch. NO on everyone, everything. Make GOP 100% accountable. Otherwise Dems are complicit with this administration's agenda.
When they run for President, any governor or outsider running should hit them with, “you voted to confirm Trump’s unqualified appointees” over and over and over.
I truly feel like he wants to cause chaos to incite violence so he can call for martial law and blame the left. The republicans who allow this are so fucking out of line and out of touch they need shamed often, loudly, and publicly. If your friends want to tune out, calmly remind them of the problem
I so much want them to be gone. I'll only give to progressive fighters who primary them. As far as I'm concerned AOC is now the leader of the party and that's how I'll proceed. Maybe by now Americans have figured out why it's impossible to live here-all we need to do is compare the costs of OUR
2. lives to the lives of people in our Allied nations.We;ve been fucked over so badly and that's very much because we've had no opposition coalition in the Appeasement Party for decades. We NEVER had to accept such a shitty deal but we're so brainwashed. The party betrayed us-so let's take it back.
I would think some are voting for a few so they can all vote no for the really terrible ones and then nobody can say they just voted no on all the nominees. It is strategic to emphasize how very bad some are and then they try and get a few GOP to vote against the very bad ones. 🤷♀️
Just as Merrick Garland was the wrong person to lead the DoJ during these extraordinary times, allowing the insurrectionist Donald Trump to run for president , the Senate Democrats are incapable to adapt to the fact that "norms and traditions" are long gone thanks to Trump and the republicans.
Where the fuck is Dem leadership? We’re drowning in fascist bullshit & need a goddamn pseudo-president NOW. Rallies, interviews, plans—show us sanity in this fed-up world! Step the f up! 💥🔥 WE WANT SOMEONE TO LEAD THE WAY!
Every single member of the Appeasement Party (besides 3)should be flooded with letters from disgusted constituents calling them out for allowing us to get to this point, shaming them for their cowardice and promising them primaries. They suck so much and are worse than useless.
All I can hope is they’re trying to let him mess up so they’ll have more fodder to go after him, but that’s probably a phantom hope like all the others.
All of them who did so are traitors and we need to vote them out in 2026. A bipartisanship agreement with a party of collective sociopathic ideologies will never work.
Exactly!!! I cannot believe how fast this onslaught of fascism is coming down! Obviously we have democrats who are assisting in this mess. It’s insane.
Noem murdered her own puppy. Please enlighten me as to whether you all have some insight into her intentions when she takes her post. Can any of you assure me that she won’t treat some human being that she perceives as being inferior to her and MAGA in a similar manner. Cruelty is their main concern
I'm convinced the democratic party is mostly in on the grift we go back and forth for 50 years with Just a few people as president. They appear different. Jimmy Carter was the last good president. They all want more wealth and power even at 80. Dems as well. (Mostly)
I honestly despise Dems now. I disengaged from the party years ago bc of shit just like this (though I continued to vote blue), but that’s becoming extremely difficult. Non-fascist Americans have lost faith in them & this is why they don’t bother voting.
Both of my Senators voted yes on Noem. They’ve both received emails from me. For the most part I was happy with Peters over the years. Slotkin on the fence. I’m disgusted.
Honestly,with so much at stake from a Trump win;complete MAGAisation of the bureaucracy, implementation of project 2025,mass deportations,MAGA judges,Palestine, Ukraine, women’s rights, I am fuming at Democrats and Joe Biden for fumbling this so badly
@gtconway.bsky.social
Republicans know that the Democrats aren’t united like them and that they don’t fight back. Probably why Trump is passing all these ridiculous illegal executive orders and trying to fire people and conducting raids
Choose the battles that are winnable. Traditionally Presidents choose who they want - that are part of the Exec Branch. RFKs nomination is winnable . I thought Hegseths was as well .

Because they wanted to.
They are upper class they prioritize decorum and order over everything.
To them speaking truth power is uncouth.
They can't fathom making anyone is their little club uncomfortable.
Mealy mouth bs so they can have decorum and tea together
If they act the like GOP, why would I care to elect them.
We need new blood in the Dem party. I'm tired of the almost GOP.
We definitely need people in office who come from our communities, who work in community with community, who know how to organize, who have been organizing.
Change is gonna come from the bottom up.

This is all due to Citizens United. Some of us are late to the wake up 😕
What worked was rooting them out their shit holes, and dragging them out into the light to face Justice.
Fuck you.

Can't even blame it on spellcheck. Must be the weed. 😜
