Agree, they should be the ones organizing these protests... Especially when congress is not in session, but they just sit around on their asses.

I'm glad you're doing the work, but the majority of the Dems aren't, nor are they doing enough to support Dems doing the right thing like you. It's freaking crickets over there at the DNC.
it always is...they've thrown us to the wolves, & we're on our own, but for the handful, like pritzker & newsom, out front saying we will not submit. we will not go quietly. we will resist..."by any means necessary". that's where we are, too.
This! There is no cohesive approach that we can see & that is terrifying because the GOP is in lockstep
Excatly. It's the one thing they learned that works.. unification, even if most of them absolutely despise it behind closed doors. While Dems over here are trying to tear each other apart. They still haven't unified behind Zohran when he's clearly doing everything right.
Goose stepping in lockstep.
spineless cowards. period.
They don’t want to jeopardize their comfortable life styles.
democratic leadership is complicit. & they;re greedy, spineless cowards. boot them the fuck out.
i hate joe biden. he came out during his fraudulent campaign & said he DID NOT support universal healthcare & never would. fuck that bastard with his top of the line taxpayer provided healthcare. most people, on both sides, want, need & deserve universal healthcare. he's a corporate shill.
nailed it.! they;ve been sitting on their hands since he was inaugurated, 2017. they havent done shit. biden didnt do shit, either, knowing what was at stake, & what we needed to change while we had a bit of a chance. fuck them all.
When do our politicians actually work? 1 month off for ThanksGiving, 1 month off for Christmas / New Years, 1 month off for July 4th. Two months off for a recess for no reason (other than to not release the Epstein Files). WTF. Meanwhile, their salaries are low 6 figures,yet their banks are millions
I keep asking why they aren’t doing this daily. My rep writes us all the time but hasn’t lead anything even though she has millions of family $ to support rallies etc.
That’s what I said they all should be organizing these protests. They just don’t want to be considered the “leader” if a protest gets out of hand. They are protecting themselves from the admin’s aim. I fear a lot of dem leadership will be the first to skip country if we end up in a civil war.
If it's entirely up to the people to take back our country or win a civil war, then there's no reason to put Democrats back in power afterward. They should be barred from public office, same as the GOP.

RCV.
Yes, but that's not going to happen nationally unless we get our country back from the fascists, first.
The way, waaayy outgunned litmus test crew aren't actually doing a "civil war." After spending decades attacking Dems, et al, more than they attack the far right and driving away everyone not in their 1.3% purity voting bloc (still doing so), their defeat would likely occur in less than a day.
If the Democrats don't fight the Republicans at their level then they don't deserve to be elected, fucking clown shoes
Who are these people you're talking about? I keep hearing about them, but I didn't know a single leftist more critical of Dems than Republicans. Can you name one well known figure?
They literally campaign for Trump instead of Democracy. What Dems were platforming.
Muslims for trump, Jill stein supporters? They, were enraged by Liz Cheney and Harris instead of seeing the existential threat so great a die hard conservative was fighting for a democrat.
As to the former, they aren't left wing: they supported Trump for right wing reasons. As to the latter, you have yourself framed their opposition to Harris as based on their opposition to a Republican. As in, 100% of their attacks on Harris are attacks on Republicans, too.
I think they're talking about the idiots who said, "both parties are the same" when it was glaringly obvious project 2025 was an authoritarian takeover of democracy. In my experience, those people are few and far between, but they exist (not well known). We are no longer part of the free world.
Well, there were about 8 million of them in 2024 who decided that staying home and not voting was preferable to electing this current asshole to the presidency. Pick one of them.
So, how do we throw both sides and all of them out? I am all for it. Where do we find independent candidates?
I don’t think you need to throw out anyone. Make rules for length of office, no lobbying and enrichment for politicians during terms in office that can’t be overturned by Congress, etc. That will weed out the people that are there just for wealth and power. The rules right now favor a corrupt path
I agree with your suggestion; however, making your idea work in practice is impossible. The only way to shake the entire system and save our Constitution, Republic, and democracy is to make our politicians fear us and fear that the "dough" they are rolling in now will be lost for them tomorrow.
I was assuming after the crash and burn of the country through civil war first these things will need to be built out. As trying to change things currently now yep impossible
Absolutely
Need to forget the Dems, forget the courts, this is down to people to come out in their hundreds of thousands across the country. A civil disobedience campaign. Show the Trump criminal regime we do not give our consent to be governed/policed by them. Rise up America ffs!!

I mean, Veronica even replied to the same comment you replied to 🤷♂️
That is not the job of Congress. Never has been.
A few of them were on a paid vacation in Israel...speaker et al.
That's not, nor has it ever been elected officials jobs to organize for you.
