Republicans just voted to kill their base. They don't care because they had one assignment: placate the billionaire donors. It's the rest of us vs. the oligarchy. The majority vs. the 1% We need fighters willing to stand up and lead on this.

The Schumer/Pelosi branch of the DNC is focused on attacking Mamdami at the moment. THAT'S what they're currently concerned with.
Maga: "Democrats did not do enough to stop the people I voted for so that is why I am still a Republican" ARGH!
And they know most of their voters won't care and vote for them anyways because of the satantic/child sex trafficking/turn my kids trans/bring in bloodthirsty murderous illegals/give all my money to illegals/give better benefits to illegals than I get/brown people want to replace you - Democrats.
This goes hand in hand with the lawsuit brought by Vance / other gop members to lift caps on campaign spending
The daisy chain of "you can't take it with you" object lessons will start eventually. In fact, the KKKristofascists know it will, which is why the next step will see our streets flooded with military/military tech and a slew of legislation designed to prevent free and fair elections going forward.
I hate Humans...I Hate this Planet...And I hate everything
Same.
We do, but we have none. No one is coming to help us. It's a republic if we can keep it? It's slipping through our fingers right now. Forget your BBQs and fireworks. If you want to celebrate Independence Day next year, you'd better plan on hitting the streets this year.
I know. People at work talking about celebrating. I'm like , what are we celebrating? Is it a wake?
I hate to quibble, but they don't care because they don't plan on ever having an election that matters again.
They killed their base during Covid with no repercussions, so this might not be much different. MAGA will be eager to be told to blame Democrats for their horrible lot in life, same as it ever was.
Yes but some people voted for Trump because they bought the bullshit he will make their lives better. The color green trumps all others in America. Once people lose their jobs & their health care...& literally their family members die...those folks will radicalize. But yes about 25% is a lost cult.
People are capable of extraordinary things when in major distress. We may get many more than we expect crawling back to us when they can't take the suffering any longer.
He’s obviously making their lives worse and I’m loving every bit of it
“Mamdani is a fighter”. Democrats: not that kind of fighter.
Sometimes the only way forward is to take a few steps back. The effects of this bill will be harsh on red states. That harshness may be what is needed to get through to them.
“The effects of this bill will be harsh on red states.” Yes. But the effects of the GOP on the red state economies has already been harsh, and they neither know nor care. This will be harsh on blue states, too. But not harsh enough to vote, apparently. hartmannreport.com/p/why-are-re...
So true! I think the attack on education is particularly insidious making people more susceptible to propaganda. No doubt it's a struggle.
Also on blueside votes went sour in the past. The 1% lives and feeds from both sides. It is rooted in our foundation of life. We must get rid of this first, before we can (fairly) fight each other. But will we need to then? The game is rigged from the start!
Chuck Schummer?
Committing crimes against humanity
I am not doing a thing for the 4th this year. There’s nothing to celebrate anymore. I might have a hot dog. But I won’t enjoy it.
We need fewer Jill Stein voters.
Where is Jill Stein hiding lately after she got paid her pieces of silver?
Will the real effects of this bill hit before the mid-terms? If not, then if Dems take the House & Senate they will be blamed when the sh*t hits the fan. This is always how it works out. How Republicans work it.
And the base says they are willing to die as long as it means there will be NO Trans Swimmers and NO Library Books about a gay penguin! 😂
I see tumbrels and guillotines in my crystal ball.
The sad part is that their base has been so trained that they will always blame everyone else for their pain except the politicians they keep electing
We outnumber them! Their day will come soon ☠️ #Resist #NoKings #TACO #DeportElon #AbolishICE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Damn. Less than a thousand people have bought enough politicians to destroy the former superpower of the world. Billionaires. The most destructive force in America.
We need red states to open their eyes to what's going on. Dems need boots on the ground in those states. Like Obama did. Grassroots.
They also don't have to care because they know Republican voters will keep voting for them as long as they publicly torture enough of the people Republican voters hate.
It's what Bernie has been trying to tell everyone.
Every action since the election makes absolute sense if you’re a person who doesn’t believe they’ll ever have to worry about an election again.
When the government declares war on its own people; specifically the poor, sick, elderly, children and disabled, it is no longer a functioning government, it is tyranny!
I do not think specific leaders are necessary. You do not have the time to wait until a leader emerges that is palatable to all. Many public figures are doing a good job right now and the No Kings protests are testimony to the fact that the democratic base is alive and ready to rumble.
They killed so many with their ridiculous takes on COVID I was shocked so many were re-elected
Kill their base,...sounds pretty good to me
What a load of crap.

My post today: “I guess I’ll say for the last time — until next time — Lisa Murkowski is worthless. May she find that special place in Hell that is reserved for her.”

Yeah, who would that be? Certainly not the Democrats.
Most of america is utterly complicit. One organized day of protest in 6 months hardly qualifies as effectively mobilizing against tyranny. Democracy south of the Canadian border is done. The oligarchs have won.
The challenge is to still educate the base. Whatever finally gets enacted will be phased in. People will be lulled into thinking it’s going to be ok. States have to implement reporting requirements to go w work requirements.
I believe this: "one assignment: placate the billionaire donors"
When will the MAGA people start to realize it is us against the 1%ers ?
Republicans have been voting to kill their base for a long time... They just stopped putting any effort into pretending otherwise during Covid.
BOYCOTTING BOYCOTTING WE HAD 5 million on NO KING PROTEST WE NEED 10million BOYCOTTING AMAZON TO PARAMOUNT WALK OUT AT JOBS ACROSS USA NO GAS FOR 1 WEEK HURT THEM IN BOOTOM LINE PEOPLE
Dont tell us...tell the Democratic Leadership. Oh wait they were bought off by the oligarchy too!
stop blaming DEMOCRATS know what’s happening but they can’t change a damn thing why don’t you CALL CHIP ROYS OFFICE or other REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS. Cant guess WHAT WILL HAPPEN BLAME FUCKING PEOPLE WHO DIDNT VOTE, RACIST THAT CANT VOTE FOR A WOMEN, or 50mill who sat home he won by slimmest vote
Here is the thing, I blame all of them too. Its not either/or...everyone shares the blame. Calling Republicans won't do anything especially when they aren't from my State. The whole thing is fucked. Lazy/selfish people let him win, The GOP and Courts handed him unlimited power and the Dems
abandoned their voters and did the bare minimum in hopes of surviving long enough to Blue Wave the Midterms. History is going to condemn us all. Calling out the Dems for complicity doesn't absolve everyone else.
I think it’s well planned by Putin via Orban with Musk hackers who I think changed results of elections plus bomb threats in blue Counties. There’s a damn reason trump bought, threatened main media. Mtn getting stronger daily. We must get word out on his take over. This what ROBERT REICH warned Us
So in other words...not the Democrats.
Call your representatives Stop this bill I know we are all tired and sick to our stomach @5calls.org CALL..still time Don't give up
Right. Not one seat unopposed, no rest and make sure everyone knows who is responsible. If our reps have to stand in front of the news cams of cspan, billboards, ads, all of it!
Same as it ever was
The Republicans were very careful to vote to disenfranchise their base before killing them.
Go team! Join Indivisible, call your representatives, register to vote or confirm your registration, and speak up for the resistance. We can do this, and we must do it for future generations and the future of Earth. Compassion and unity will win!
Is it time for a general strike yet?
For thems that are interested, I summarized the impacts numerically here: bsky.app/profile/siar...
People need to learn what a class war is, and they need to learn about it quickly.
Citizens United v FEC. Why oh why didn't the Dems pass a new law against wealthy donors? Canada strictly limits campaign contributions AND has an independent, non-partisan agency regulating federal elections. www.elections.ca/content.aspx...
Because they like the $$ too
The GOP bill is best called the “GOP’s War on America Bill.”
The problem is that a majority of US citizens voted for this insanity!
No, only a majority of the 2024 electorate voted for this.
"We need fighters willing to stand up and lead on this." The “old guard” isn’t up to this. NEW LEADERSHIP!
They wanted project 2025. Now we’re Russia. We’re fucked.
They don't care because the cult will blame the side that was fighting for them.
Who was it said, "I can pay half the working class to kill the other half."?
Jay Gould
Or, Counterpoint We stop paying our taxes where possible & continue to boycott all MAGA Businesses, contractors & Customers. Let them deal with their own stuff Properly run blue state hospitals can expand & thrive providing PROPER CARE Send MAGA packing tho the next state over for that bypass
Need a coordinated Luigi
“Republicans just voted to kill their base.” Who better? (double entendre intended)
The problem is plutocracy -- the answer is democracy (people governing themselves).
A common theme, it's the same here in the UK, time for change
Should tell you something about 2028
We have just been carpet bombed with debt, illness and despair. Don’t believe me? Wait…. bsky.app/profile/vivi...
They will satisfy their base by fiming a reality show of victims trying to escape Everglade Austwitz, and being attacked by alligators. The "base"will eat it up, no pun intended.
The Republican Party is a literal death cult. What further proof do people need? You can’t read your own tombstone.
When you have Democratic officials and leadership refusing to endorse the Democratic candidate for mayor of NYC and branding him as an antisemite, I'd say they have the same "placate the billionaire donors" policy as those Republicans. They just enact it differently.
Magats will somehow find a way to blame Democrats
The DSA, radical left-wing 'Progressives', MAGA morons and Corporate Democrats gave us Trump It's much easier to elect more people like Jasmine Crockett, Adam Schiff, Jon Ossoff, Chris Murphy, Rosa DeLauro, JB Pritzker, etc. than to follow the path Asshat Ali and others suggest to fix America
Is Rashida Tlaib available, or is she still focused on destroying 'Genocide Joe' and helping to hand the election to Trump? How about Cornell West and Jill Stein? I just saw them pictured as missing on a milk carton. It said on the milk carton known to go missing for 4 years before resurfacing
looking forward to using them and their followers as bullet stops in the wars to come.
Oh hell yes. I’m gathering up my CA, NY and MA friends who are willing to move to a red GA district, establish residency, register all the voters, and vote some f-r the hell out. Or maybe Mississippi.
Just sent my murdering Congresscritter a note telling her she needs to check on the size of her bribe from her Personal Oligarch BEFORE she signs. I mean, look how upset Murkowski was when her Personal Oligarch canceled HER check. WOW.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I understand perfectly that this is a correct, true, and provable argument about his base - but as long as they continue to watch "Faux News" they'll look on the piss falling on their boots and scream in your face it's raining outside. Also, MAGAts will blame Biden no matter how irrational it is.
I don't think they plan on there ever being elections again. Which means they're planning to make sure there are no elections in the US ever again.
Republicants Grifting Oligarchs Party They've declared war on the people of the United States. They want to do here, what Putin has done there.
Their base also voted to be killed. 🤷🏻♀️ I know they thought that just the people they hate would be killed, but at some point they’re going to figure out they are going to die, too.
The cult members won’t see it this way. They will blame Biden for its passing. Idiots
Look at what Dem leadership is doing to Mamdani. We are fucked with the current guard.
👍
Give me the edge of blade and a time and a place...
True but the others are well paid by their donors. And they keep running for re-election because they can. Too bad they won’t take up needed campaign reform.
let’s shut down DC with a protest
Occupy D.C.!
Nope. Their assignment was to destroy the government. That's been their goal since Grover Norquist posited decades ago that the role of government was "to enforce rule of law… enforce contracts… protect people bodily from being attacked by criminals." They're well on their way.
How many of the legislators will benefit from the tax cuts?
They still get free health and childcare on our dime.
They also feel there will be no real elections so they can
Lots of good actions to take in link below to oppose the ugly bill, including signing up to phone bank in Republican districts, which I just did. Need more volunteers- let’s do more than doom scroll. indivisible.org/stopthecuts
I would say vote them out next election, but now I am afraid we won't have more elections either. SCOTUS not helping at all.
Our gov’t is our enemy. Everyone in the GOP is our enemy. All three branches of our government are controlled by the enemies of the people. I will never forgive the people who didn’t vote, or voted for the GOP. Never. Of course, my life is going to be a lot shorter, so I guess that’s an upside now.
And they don't care because they have been assured there will be no more elections.
They just voted to kill all of us. They don’t need us anymore.
Over 50,000 people will die each year because of this.
Worry not! For every member of the Republican base they kill, they're going to put 2 Democrats in Alligator Alcatraz and it's franchisees.
It’s not just them. I’m on the hit list. So many of us particularly with “invisible disabilities” are going to be killed by this homicidal bill point blank.
