I don’t know…. I feel like the end of democracy and unitary executives were fairly well covered. I think voters just hi don’t care/understand

post
Fight. Keep fighting. I never said not to fight. But the last election proved that the vast majority of Americans don’t care about any suffering but their own, and that is the only thing that motivates them to change
comment in response to
post
I said specifically, the ONLY WAY we can change anything is for people to face the consequences of what is happening.

We are about to ethnically cleanse Gaza so we can put up resort hotels…. You think we can reverse what’s going on?

They don’t have that power

Yes. The more quickly people realize we’ve been taken over by technocrats the better

There’s a difference between giving up and not allowing wishful thinking to cloud reality
comment in response to
post
I said the only thing that can save us is people reacting to the pain and negative consequences of what is happening.

The “future” is known. These things are happening

USAID cut. Trans has been eliminated from all federal documentation. Tomorrow the department of education is eliminated. Do you not see where we are right now?

It’s a simple majority vote. There is no way for the democrats to block without GOP support

Mitch is Isildur
comment in response to

I hope Mitch remembers he could have ended this nonsense 4 years ago by letting the senate impeach. F him and the turtle he rode in on

What the actual fuck is he talking about

We are the dumbest country on the planet
comment in response to
post
No, this is the world we live in. There is no stopping what is happening, there is only mitigating the damage and making sure it never happens again
comment in response to
post
I’ve been saying this since November. People need to see, feel and face real consequences in order to care

If musk wants to be an actor in government, give him a job, give him a title, let the Senate approve him, and make it legal. If not, get to court and challenge this nonsense.
comment in response to
post
Focus on Musk. An unelected, unaccountable billionaire advancing his own interests at the expense of the middle class. Every Democrat states AG need to be in court at 9 am Monday

The GOP has weaponized hate, fear and bigotry. The democrats need to find a way to combat that
comment in response to
post
You’re missing the point. People need to be convinced that is what is going on, and why it is bad for them.
comment in response to
post
If we can find a way to convince people, sure. Many people really don’t care as long as there are negative consequences that directly impact them. You need to make that case
comment in response to
post
Then we are doomed. Good deal
comment in response to
post
To say the Democratic Party actors didn’t push back against birtherism is idiotic, as anyone that was paying attention at the time would tell you
comment in response to
post
That is wild revisionist history.
comment in response to
post
Democrats need to face the reality of their situation. This is the most precarious political situation, quite possibly in the history of our country, and we will not survive it with outdated strategies and relying on norms

Political capital has far more to do with public opinion than it does any legislative power.
comment in response to
post
And then the GOP kills the Filibuster and you’ve lost any chance you have to stop worse legislation down the road. This is not Schumer‘s first rodeo
comment in response to
post
Again, my profile on Twitter is there for you to see. And wishful thinking is going to doom this country
comment in response to
post
Fast tracking his nominees was a protocol calculation. He literally cannot stop them, so you move onto to fight the next fight. Choose battles that you think you can win. Because when you lose, you’ve spent political capital.
comment in response to
post
The human face needs to be put on each of these policies.
comment in response to
post
Every moment should be spent telling people what’s coming. Telling them exactly what to expect, so when it happens, they know who to blame.
comment in response to
post
I have advocated for no such thing. I am advocating to not waste our time on useless protests that are not going to do anything.
comment in response to
post
Wishful thinking is not going to save us
comment in response to
post
That doesn’t matter. The Republicans and Congress have seated their power to him. He literally controls the entire federal government.
comment in response to
post
I want there to be a national movement to prevent all of the horrors that are coming from happening. But that’s not going to happen until people know that it’s real.
comment in response to
post
You’re exhibiting the same wishful thinking that doomed the Democratic Party this past summer. You can’t fight pack and win until you understand why you lost.
comment in response to
post
I’m a lifelong Democrat, I’ve worked on two presidential campaigns, I’ve been studying politics for 20 years. You can find my account on Twitter and look at literally hundreds of posts that would prove you wrong.
comment in response to
post
And you propose preventing all of these things how? What lever should the democrats pull? There will be deportation camps. Trans people have been erased from the government. We are across the rubicon.
comment in response to
post
By all means, in fighting, and ignoring the problem will certainly help the situation
comment in response to

Helplessness and strategy are two very different things

Research the circumstances around Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Trump being elected. Voters vote for change, and fear is a powerful political tool
comment in response to

I know politics
comment in response to
post
So you don’t know. Cool, good talk
comment in response to
post
Good. The sooner they drive the country off the rails and into a ditch, the sooner people will feel the pain of what they voted for

What can he do? Be specific.
comment in response to

Fine, then what’s your brilliant idea. How are you going to reach voters?
comment in response to

That’s what I said, they could be added. They could put signs up, they could add it to menus.
comment in response to
post
No one presently thinks those are problems or blame Trump for them. I understand that is madness, but it’s the truth.
