If dems can cause a government shutdown it could be enough to create a wall St crash. That might change the minds of billionaires and corporate america. And get Mike’s resignation sooner than we might think!
I think all of us should call Johnson’s office and demand HE resign. Obviously he won’t, but maybe he will realize how fucking stupid his suggestion is.
Basically what I said! If the GOP can't get Ukraine to the negotiating table, the only choice THEY will have is to resign...because the US Congress doesn't get to select the leaders of other free world countries.
We can help that along. We just need to keep pushing people to vote for the Dems in the special elections. In the unlikely event we sweep all of them, Johnson is out as Speaker....
Elections?? Do you not see where we are. They are not following the rules of law. This is a coup. They are trying to decapitate Congress and secure all power in the Executive Branch.
Maybe redirect media buys money to boots on the ground turnout efforts. Get every dem precinct captain or local equivalent to knock on doors and sell the candidates to their neighbors. Let the local folks tell the state, county party, as well as the campaign what support is needed and give it…
Use easy to digest messaging on a few key issues. Get the candidates out in the known low turnout areas, maybe pancake breakfasts. Touch voters often. On Election Day, hit the phones. Thank voters all the time. Make friends. This is all old school get out the vote basics.
It's why it is unlikely but it is not impossible if we do the work and show these voters the power they have to check the felon's attempts to screw them.
Hey, lots of Tokyo Roses on this thread, spreading demoralizing gloom & doom. For the history haters among us, Tokyo Rose had a radio program in WWII with American popular music & lots of lies about how the Allies were losing the war so they'd better give up before the Japanese & Nazis killed them.
Constantly saying (wringing hands) "Oh NOES! They won't let us have elections in 2026! Might as well lay down and die now!" will make sure that happens (which I believe is the intention).
So ignore this shit, NUT UP and make sure it DOESN'T HAPPEN. Isn't this OUR country?
What are the best ways to help? Donate? Phone banks if we're out of state? We need to help with the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, too. It's just as critical! Mu$k is funneling money into the Maga candidate.
You start by mentioning the candidates name and provide a link for people to go directly to their page. Post the link every day so other see and can share. SUSAN CRAWFORDS name should be everywhere. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💙🇭🇲 https://www.crawfordforwi.com/
Oath is fundraising for select 2025 Elections. They won't sell/share your info, and they aren't spamming me with emails. There's a search feature. https://app.oath.vote/donate
Today, Monday 3/3/25, is the last day to register to vote in Florida. If you're registered with the state you may need to register again with the county. All vote by mails were purged at the end of 2024 & you will need to re-register. https://registertovoteflorida.gov/home
He does not follow any rules. By time dems get act together mUsk will have all the keys to democracy. tRump is clearly cracked, demented and Vance the Tramp pure evil.
The election was rigged. They didn't do it in 2020 but did the big lie. That way, now, if anyone says anything about it, they are automatically wrong. Just like in the movie Imitation Game. They were waiting for the right time to give themselves complete control.
Obvious Russian bot is obvious. No posts, no reposts, no face in profile picture or other identifiable authentic human bio, the only talking point this guy is pushing is autocratic in nature. Get fucked lil man.
That's how we got into this mess. If Democrats had voted in 2016 and 2024, this guy wouldn't be president. Republicans vote heavily in mid-terms while Democrats stay home. Half of the House is elected in mid-terms.
Or we could blame the right whose fault this is? Why are we Dems responsible for everything?!&$. Reframe this! The Federalist society and the untaxed mega churches - along with their media moguls have intentionally - for years - undermined democracy. STOP making us the bad guys.
I'm not making us the bad guys. I made a factual statement. If we vote, we win, plain and simple. Look at 2020. We are responsible to a large degree if we don't vote.
It was people saying that last year that got us into this mess - they can only stack the odds so far, but if you don't vote then you are as guilty as the media of complying in advance.
They won't by 2026 if we don't act. These elections are the test. If the Dems somehow win and are seated, then the House has power to check the felon. More importantly, the Dem Speaker is then two heartbeats from the presidency.
If that happens and Jeffries is Speaker, he'd better come with that firebrand AOC, Jasmine Crockett fuck-maga, battle-ready shit and not that milquetoast, "the people are aroused", weak-ass shit Schumer came with. No one gives a shit about the price of avocados. We care about our fucking democracy.
While it will be Jeffries, it's a shame because this is where we could truly screw them. Anyone can be speaker. And the Speaker does not have to be part of Congress. And the Speaker has the right to vote on bills- especially decisive votes.
Imagine if they had to say hello to Speaker Kamala Harris.😈
The irony of using maga's own gimmick against them would be positively delicious and exactly what this country would need - a Speaker not even remotely worried about reelection, only with defeating the fascists.
I keep saying, we have to use their own playbook against them.
Steve, I really like your thinking. It is a genius idea. Now, if we could only get these Democrats to get it together. There's way too many opportunities, Dems are missing.
4/4 He is inarticulate, lacks a coherent strategy, plus basic toughness, grit and integrity.
He combines the qualities of Neville Chamberlain, with the political acumen of the DC insiders who delivered the country into Donald Trump’s hands with their dishonest and cynical campaign in 2024.
1/4. The Democratic governors will become the leaders of the political opposition to Donald Trump in the months ahead because of the abject ineptitude of Chuck Schumer and the appalling Senate Democrats,
The biggest threat to Trump presidency is the midterm elections. Dems winning the house is the worst nightmare for him. He knows what happened last time when Dems were in the majority. Right now he’s got congress under his thumb and he is not ready to relinquish that control. All roads lead to 2026.
We need to stop giving in and maintain the validity of every single part of the democratic process. We, as the American people, have to take back this country from the 🍊💩!!!!
Elections matter a little..... but his is way out of their reach....The people need to force there hand and the Judges will stand with us. Then all the workers that have been fired,and the veterans ,doctors,teachers. We the people are the only solution.
They don't have everything hacked yet. Local elections which elect congressional representation are the last gasp of democracy. People better make it count now... or...

Democracy depends on him having a liquidity issue.

Excluding the likes of AOC, Jasmine C. etc.
As this point, I don't except much if Ds win. Maybe we can start with existing Ds teaching Schumer how to make a cheeseburger on the grill first.
Emo is a nihilistic narcissist, with no ideological principles, who would fire shots at anyone he thinks is attacking him.
His brain is fully broken. Exploit that.

I am being very bitterly sarcastic there.
Thoroughly disgusted that she didn't win. What should have been ....
It's been dead for quite some time.

A serious opposition party would replace him immediately.
Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, is a weak
