I'm not so sure about that Dem majority. A lot of people like what Trump's doing, and as of now the Dems have no leadership, no '26 candidates, and no positions on immigration, crime, and the economy.

Yep, it's the sad world we live in, and the world 80 million people voted for (and wanted) last November.

Kimmel's show was getting canceled soon anyway, this week's events just provided a convenient excuse to do it now.
olessart.bsky.social (@olessart.bsky.social) reply parent
And 80 million people are totally fine with it, meanwhile the Democrats stumble to find some sort of leader and they need a position on immigration and inner city crime, subjects that Trump is owning. Dems aren't near ready for the '26 midterms.

Another useless, feel good, protest that will have zero effect on Trump and his ambitions.

One of (many) things that SHOULD be taught in grade school and high school is, Happiness or How to be happy throughout your life. There's so many people in this country who aren't happy and can't find anything in life to make themselves happy.

That's right, It's one of my favorite seasons, Mellow Cream Season! New mellow cream leaves displayed here in one of my Grandmother's vintage leaf candy dishes. Note: There were lots more mellow cream leaves in the candy dish before this photo was taken. ๐งก

Any comments from any prominent Democrats about this? (Are there any prominent Democrats?) No? Dems still rocking their strict vow of silence on all things Trump.
olessart.bsky.social (@olessart.bsky.social) reply parent
To what end? What's the strategy? 10 months after losing the election & Dems still can't find a single person to fight and lead the party into the future, let alone someone to figure out "what to do". In the meantime Trump and his ruthless, unrelenting regime are running roughshod over the country.

It's 10 months after losing the election last year and the Dems STILL can't find a single person who wants to step up and lead the party into the future. Dems are falling farther behind in fundraising, policy strategy, fighting Trumpism and "making noise" every day that goes by.

You're way off. You can't vote if you're not registered and Dems are bleeding voters while the Trumplican party is gaining. It's not the 1960's anymore, people need to get off their ass and vote to make changes.

Hope you guys are also trying to register new Democratic voters, that's way more important than protesting. Dem registration is way down.

Maybe this will finally cause Kamala to end her silence and actually speak out and start criticizing Trump and his cabinet, although probably not.

How about shaming the gun manufacturers? No one EVER talks about the gun manufacturers, shame them into turning their gun making factories into making auto parts, or tools, or shopping carts, or etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, it's real tough for a supposed "leader" to stand in front of a microphone and refute a monster for 10 minutes. Same with Kamala Harris, she's a coward too. They like cashing those paychecks tho while Trump and his minions rampage thru the country.

Interesting dilemma. If citizens resist physically, Trump will use that as propaganda and justification. If citizens resist peacefully, Trump will ignore them and move on with his takeover.

The former Democratic Party has totally surrendered the airwaves To Trump and MAGA. Almost 10 months gone by since losing the election and still no signs of a leader. Lots of coffee drinking and slowly writing of books tho.

Shameful to say that "everyone" was supporting Israel after October 7th. Individuals and groups STILL say Oct. 7th was a hoax or that it was exaggerated or that the atrocities against Israelis (and others) never happened at all. Do better, Bob.

Unfortunately, polls don't have the power to impeach and remove, so Trump couldn't care less.

Trump's in mental and physical decline and the Democrats still have no one to compete with him toe to toe. Trump's destroying the economy, the country, and designing ballrooms in his spare time while Kamala is home writing a book that no one wants to read. Got it.
olessart.bsky.social (@olessart.bsky.social) reply parent
Democrats are a leaderless mess right now, I keep saying it, but Dems have no one to compete at Trump's energy level and his omnipresence. It's going to have to be someone outside the Dem party, an independent we've never heard of.

Disappointed that yesterday, Kamala had a golden chance to seize being THE leader of whatever the Democratic Party is now and she was typically vague and talked about her new book, that no one cares about, instead. Notice that Trump isn't wasting time writing books, he's scheming and yes, leading.

There is no leadership, Bob. No one wants the job. A big part of it is immigration, Dems don't know which way to turn on the matter. Voters(those who actually voted) are also blaming Dems for not stopping Trump and his agenda, even tho that's the fault of you guessed it, the voters.

I mean, Democrats don't even do anything. What is there to hate?

What's the Dem position on immigration going to be, because a lot of people like what Trump is doing (not including the torture). It's the biggest struggle Dems are facing.

It's why it's so sad that no one wants to be the leader of whatever the Democratic Party is today. No one wants the job. Even tho Harris lost, she should have held her head up and soldiered on, as the leader of the party. Trump lost in 2020, didn't shut up and hasn't stopped leading since 2015.
