I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be “bipartisan” or “reach across the aisle.” Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.

The only time the GOP talks about "bipartisanship" or "reaching across the aisle" it's because their policies are so unpopular they can't get a majority of their own members to vote for them!
They should be saying, "I'm ready to act in a bipartisan manner with any Republican willing to stand up for the rule of law and our constitution and against Trump and Musk."
There can be no bipartisanship with a party that wants to destroy our country. That's capitulation.
They should be saying there is no time to wait for a Republican willing to do the right thing. If they want to, fine. But we’re not waiting for it to happen.
Do you not fucking get that there is no time for left to act?
It’s pretty bloody offensive! Things why I’ve pretty much quit watching “news”. They come on with those sheepish smiles saying they’re willing to work with their fucking friends across the aisle. Many seem to be playing their roles and I’m just over their bs.
There is no way to work with them. Maybe a few can be convinced to fake an emergency and not vote on certain issues but they are all terrified of musk and trump and won’t openly defy them.
When you try to reach across the isle with fascists, they grab your arm and yank you over. There is no middle ground. You're either fighting fascists or you're supporting them.
Its even cute they still think there is something to be bipartisan about. Somebody should let them know the other party don’t want to legislate nor govern. No need for Dems for that.
Been on my senators for voting for Trump's nominees. Dems doing "go along, get along" dance. Every nominee has sworn loyalty to Trump & will do whatever he asks no matter how unconstitutional, illegal, reckless or stupid (see emptying reservoir). And Dems keep voting for these people. Unacceptable.
Sheep (Dems) spend their life afraid of the wolf(Non-Dem Voters) only to be eaten by the farmer(Repubs).
Listen Dems: quit playing defense, show the working class how u r fighting for them, no bipartisanship for fascist, & control the narrative. Rinse/Repeat
Build it and they(voters) will come!
At this point there is only fascism and those that are working against it. If you are sympathetic, cooperative, ignorant, apathetic or anything other than informed and anti-fascist, you are are complicit, and furthering their cause.
I don't think there are any Congressional Republicans worried about Democrats being willing to work with them. The Republicans know they can just do what they want, when they want. They can walk all over the Dems and seek forgiveness later.
Hey! @magaziner.house.gov I just wrote you a letter, asking about this! You said in your "January Newsletter" - that you'd reach across the aisle "when it helped Rhode Island"- Now that siding with Russia and invading Greenland is on the table - I really need an answer to that question. Also, don't
Biden's pledge for bipartisanshit when he was running in 2020 is why I left the country. That was a pledge to aid and abet the fascist coup, not a pledge to be a president for all americans.
Agreed! Reaching across the aisle to Republicans will just get your hand covered in contact poison. There is no good on their side. The best they have are a few that say, in private, "I don't agree with this stuff" but then vote for it anyway because they are gutless wimps.
I don't know what's worse, the Trump cult loving fascist embracing Republican Party or the deer in the headlight, mind-numbing policy of Democrats "reaching across the aisle" like everything is business as usual and getting kicked to the curb repeatedly. Screw that idiocy and fight mean Democrats.
There is seriously a collective, psychological issue with the Democrats and their NEED for approval and acceptance. It prevents them from being feared and allows the Republicans to run rings around them EVERY SINGLE time.
I wish some psychologist would explain this to them privately OR publicly.
What they seem to have forgotten is that the billionaire donor, regardless of how much money she/he donates, gets one vote. Just like the majority of their constituents.
What’s it gonna fucking take? No matter what happens, the old guard Dems keep running the same goddamn weak, spineless playbook. We need new blood across the board.
It’s so intriguing that Dems say those things when they literally see with their own eyes that the GOP has literally abandoned everything that would make them even close to eligible for “bipartisan reach across the aisle” work. Especially when the GOP will goosestep them all the way to GITMO.
I try to figure why congressional Dems seemingly have no plan.
Have they bent the knee fearing retribution?
Are they so concerned with their own presidential aspirations that no one leads?
I’d ask Buttigieg to hold daily press conferences stating the anti democracy crimes of the day!
He’s a leader!
Stop reaching across the aisle to the Republicans because THEY ARE NOT WORKING WITH YOU THE DEMOCRATS!!! You have to change your mind set because TSF, Musk & Republicans are destroying everything we have worked so hard for that last 200 years. You’re looking like you’re COWARDS BY MOVING SO SLOWLY.
We can't just keep saying we have to wait and let the courts work. We need them on the television on the radio blasting the message that we are not going to let this happen and actually do something about it.
Corporate democrats are useless, impotent backstabbers who only talk & issue strongly worded letters.
Ferfvxxsake, never reach across the aisle until red hats show a demonstrated pattern of cooperation; this isn’t rocket science - this is intentional Delay.
Afuckingmen! These are not normal political times. This is not a polite argument on the fine points of law. This is a battle for democracy. For fucks sake, fight hard! Fight dirty! I don't give a shit what it takes to win.
Bipartisanship w Nazis just normalizes and gives Nazis more power than saying ABSOLUTELY NOT! To anything the Nazis suggest. It’s not that fucking hard- but our Martyr Party just can’t figure it out!
That is precisely why I've been castigating the motherfucking imbecile Biden since he ran, because bipartisanshit is just another way of saying "aiding and abetting a fascist coup."
Me too Fred! They should ALL be screaming like AOC, Bernie Sanders and Jasmine Crockett! Republicans have been cheating and fighting dirty for over 50 years and it's time to fight fire with fire. The do not respect kindness or compromise. They see it as weak. Time to FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS!
Chuck Schumer has got to go. Even though he's a minority leader, he still could have done more and shutdown the Senate. I'm sick of weak ones like him playing by the rules of decorum versus fascists that have no time for it. Keep Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin out front.
Talks have started to end Russia & Ukraine War, but where's Ukraine? With Saudi Arabia there, could they be discussing Ukraine's minerals, control of them, and land development? Watch out Europe, your next. PROTECT UKRAINE! MAKE NATO MEMBER! NATIONALIZE TESLA FACTORY! HURRY! https://youtu.be/LUZWiQF2xYY?si=Fs-0LaB_Y4O-McwN
Sadly, this is what happens when dealing with bullies and thinking cooperation will pacify or change them. At best, it buys time, but it just emboldens them, as they never learn from those good acts. It does train others to hold out hope and keep being doormats. Fighting back helps break the cycle.
Dude, you're doin EXACTLY what Kremlin wants Americans to do: destroy your country in a civil war.
Russia can't defeat US in a "kinetic" or trade war. So it subverts you: first by cultivating Trump and creating MAGA, then by turning you against your mostly innocent brainwashed redneck compatriots.
Only fools “reach across the aisle” with insurrection enablers and supporters. Republicans don’t deserve democratic respect. This is war. They are the enemy. And have been since a few presidents ago.
I'm reaching an end point. Until Dems speak and act firmly and LOUDLY about the steal of our Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare, not a penny more from me. Many Seniors can not afford to miss one check. At the very least we need assurances or a backup plan. This needs to be addressed NOW!
Same. When I told my 26 year old daughter that I was changing party affiliations she started to cry because she thought I was switching to Republican. Clearly she forgot about Independents. I had been registered Dem for 40 years, it’s heartbreaking
It's f-ing ridiculous. Leadership needs to be changed asap. Schumer constantly with the "I'm willing to reach across the aisle to reach compromise with our Republican colleagues" nonsense and Hakeem Jeffries throwing up his hands and not doing damned thing.
We truly need someone who has strength and boldness to understand when a attitude, cooperation is one-sided and take a different position ,that wake up moment needs to come right now, dems.
Which ones are still saying that? “ Hey, how about we invite Hitler and Mussolini, pardon me, Heir Felon and Cheetolini, over for brunch. That will help because good will is something they appreciate”. So there is this bridge to nowhere I’m selling.
The GOP is ‘coiled and waiting to strike. They don’t want compromise. They don’t want bipartisan. They want tax cuts Now. So musk & bullies are pilfering our Money and People are dying. Unhooking oxygen. Denying of food & meds. NOPE.
They're clinging to the false hope that somehow business-as-usual can be restored without a showdown. Ask anyone who ever stood up to a schoolyard bully how well their make pretty tactic ends.
Know of a Senator who leads a group of 6-8, is the front man while the other Senators hide behind him. He made a statement last week advising they will work with 47 on important issues.
Certainly not the “opposition party”.
This pattern is nearly a decade old, aptly named corporate democrats.
This is bullshit. We need a stone wall. No cooperation. Elon out is priority number one. How many planes need to crash. How many more people need to get fired. These are public servants. These people's careers are to enhance our quality of life or the lives of those in need. Stand up to the bully's
Nobody was saying that during world war 2, and we have leaders that heavily reflect the nazi parties values. 1000 percent agree. (i am trying to build a community of like minded anti-fascists so plz follow)
During the ACA negotiations, Grassley was stringing Obama along for a year before Obama realized he was being played. Obama finally asked "You never had any intention on voting for this bill, did you?" Grassley: "No." Democrats have always been played at the negotiating table.
Can we stop electing criminals, and Democrats stop electing these weak ass fake take the high road mfers. No we can't, we are too GD worried about pronouns.
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Seriously. Get it together. Stop being weak. If you don’t start playing hard ball, I will start donating to ANYONE who runs against you. Most of us will.
- Longtime grass roots supporter.
PS, yes, I know filibustering the budget will hurt. Do it.
Most Dems will get it. But also… do it for yourselves. Because without us… you aren’t keeping your jobs. Of course, I am mad at Trump. But, I am also mad at your cowardly behavior. Sack up.
I'm there with you. It's absolutely bizarre and maddening. With our constitution & our country being destroyed on an hourly basis, they have an absolute obligation to do everything possible to stop it. Not half hearted stalling tactics but becoming parliamentary guerillas, esp in the Senate...
Grinding it all to halt wherever possible and just making it simply unbearable, even when they can't. No more unanimous consent, no more voting for their nominees. Stop talking about guacamole cause no one gives a shit. Stop "well we have no leverage. What can we do?" ...
Weak. They put out tweets about how bad the situation is.
And then they go on four-day breaks. Day by day the cult & the kleptocrats wreak havoc and by & large they dither. Oh, and send out fundraising emails. I hate to break it to them, but at this rate, we won't be having free elections in 2 yrs.
💯
‘Our’ side has nothing in common with Nazis.
It is up to them to atone for what they are doing.
It is our job to say NO to everything. We do not compromise with Nazis.
Those who do, there is a name for them. It’s Nazi.
If you are complicit, you are a Nazi.
What’s so hard to understand?
You, Fred, sure know how to stir the pot!
Once in a while I get worthwhile info but when you're empty you start bitching bout Dems!
FU
Besides being a vet what are you good for?
Absolutely Nuttin'
You wanna be an influencer?
Be a Kyle Cheney!
It's like they're trying to appease their opponents instead of standing firm on their values and principles. You're right, if the other side wants to work together, they should be the ones making an effort to meet Democrats halfway.
I completely understand your frustration! It's exhausting to hear Democrats constantly talking about being bipartisan and reaching across the aisle, only to be met with resistance and opposition from the other side.
That's how I feel about my Dem leaders STILL thinking the courts will save us. Bullshit!
Dems will keep being reactionary. If they didn't have a plan after knowing P2025 contents for over .5 yr, they have no plan... Except remaining attached to seniority over substance.
Makes one wonder, if they’re not speaking out what’s in their closet?
We need investigative journalists opening all the closets of our politicians, both sides. You know damn right well he’s threatening everyone, how does he get away with this unless there’s something to hide?
FFS Dems, stand back and let the House GOP blow themselves up. Focus on battling for all the now unemployed through an illegal action and all Americans who've lost their privacy to Musk.
Stop acting weak?? Hahaha, weak, spineless dems cannot act strong, cause that's how they were designed, spoiled brats. Cause they play by the rules that no longer exist.
Fuck the rules. Forget what worked previously. Forge a new path forward. We need change. We need youth. We need action. We do not need decorum. We do not need patience. Let's fucking go. I want videos of dems in the streets with the protesters. Show me something.
There is nothing there to show you. When was the last time you heard a boo from ALL dem leadership? Some whisoers here and there, nothing of substance. AOC and Jasmine Crockett, no one fucking else is there. The rest of the dems are fucking cowards. US is done! Done like yesterday's dinner.
Im not EVER going to work with a maga on anything. They are all insane lowlifes who will need to be rooted out. They have all made my hatred of them even more extreme. Not to say I wouldn’t welcome those that wake up from the cult. But there’s no room for them in this world while they still worship

Republicans need to take full responsibility for this, there should be no bailouts from the dems.

Build it and they(voters) will come!
And still the democraps refuse to learn.
I wish some psychologist would explain this to them privately OR publicly.
Hey DEMs! Stop talking. Stop trying to reach across the aisle! This is the time to protect the U.S.; & to save our country & our global community!
Galvanize! Focus on midterms so we can regain some representation & power!
PS we can talk & build all the bridges once we are safe again. 💙

There are decent people working fighting tooth & nail to save Democracy & fighting like hell to protect our Constitution.
Then there are the GOP, Musk,Trump & the insanely rich.
The entire democratic leadership needs to go.

Ferfvxxsake, never reach across the aisle until red hats show a demonstrated pattern of cooperation; this isn’t rocket science - this is intentional Delay.
People are sick of this inaction.
Fyi: the fringe PREPPERS r the 9 mn Dems& Indies& MAGA out of 140 mn (35%) that voted for trump. They WANT CHAOS. They want END OF DAYS. They want 1 OUTSIDER (elon) to have all the IDs THEY TRUST 0 FACTS! Act accordingly

And I stopped donating to them months ago. I also registered as Independent after having been a Democrat for over 50 years.

I think it was Reagan who said if you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.
The takeover will remain bloodless as long as we cooperate
A real direct threat that everyone chose to ignore
Why isn't more being said about this?

Mind boggling if true.
They are bent on destroying our country.
Zero chance Putin isn’t involved. This is going to get worse and we need to protest, donate, make calls… anything and everything you can do
No more “reaching across the aisle”.
