Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
And?
We want healthcare for all. We want Dental Care for all. We want subsidized $10 per day daycare with no qualifications. Canada has this. We have oligarchs with giant yachts. 🧐😳😢
Donald betrayed us all. Again. And again. And again. youtu.be/6Qp5AZZ-N2A
That a hole has been a walking RICO suit since he opened his f”ing mouth in a congressional hearing asking why he doesn’t get preferential treatment for casinos like native Americans. We’re all in a nightmare & must wake up now.
It should have been Bernie. Bernie was the change candidate. Not Hilary.
And lots of union members voted for this shit. All of it.
America needs way more unions. I was a union worker, and they are great for the workers to stand together against unfair "bosses".
but tell me how Democrats have alienated labor
And now our gas and electric bills have skyrocketed! Our gas bill went up 50$, we rarely use gas in the summer. Our electric bill went up over 100$!!!!! Our income did not increase!
What an idiot.
They wanted steak, so they voted for a cold turd sandwich. Makes total sense. 
The level of gullibility is off the charts for some Americans. It’s not an intelligence thing, it can’t be corrected or taught. It’s voting for false hope, like buying a lottery ticket and actually thinking you can win. 😐
Fuck trump🧐
didn't the head of the auto-workers union endorse Drump even after Biden stood on their picket line???????
All because Americans were too racist to elect a black woman.
🎯
It is hard to believe that many Democrats, the only hope, are still trading stock. They could own anti-corruption outright by stopping unilaterally but they just won’t. Military and masked thugs in blue cities and they still won’t stop insider trading. Which they know they should not be doing.
We're living in HELL. Can someone make it stop?
Should have voted for the qualified Black woman!
Americans had their chance everyone who voted for trump voted for this. they were just too stupid to realize what they voted for.
Also-- RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES !!!
Every person I know right now on a medium income is struggling with grocery costs rising, wondering if their health care is going to be eliminated, concerned about their grandchildren attending public schools....if they will arrive home alive, seeing that utility bills are going to rise....
Shuler is either dishonest or oblivious. Kamala was offering positive change, building on the progress made under Biden.
YES! We need to STOP buying into this broken narrative. It's complete horseshit.
You never read project 2025.
He told them exactly what he was going to do. They chose not to listen.
no, you didn't vote for any of those things, because Trump was never going to give you any of those things (and he didn't even pretend to promise most of them - you thought you were getting affordable childcare from "childcare is childcare but lemme tell you how much I love tariffs"?)
Promises broken! Who's a "sucker & loser" now? POS won by 1.5% who voted for his blatant lies. 🤷🤬 bsky.app/profile/xtra...
No one listened the Harris because she is a smart Black woman. Instead they voted for the bigoted white old man who called for violence. We are literally looking at ourselves and choices in a mirror right now. 🪞
Nah, y’all wanted white supremacy. And that’s exactly what we got.
Great summation by the AFL-CIO of where we are as a country today. Worth listening to.

Good job maga morons
"Broken status quo." That framing is bonkers, especially with her follow-up. She probably should have said a working (however imperfect) government for you or one that refuses to help or even listen to you.
bsky.app/profile/abdo...
This
The voters only cared about their hate it really had nothing to do with improving their lives.
110% this. It NEVER had anything to do with anything rational. It was all about bigotry in its various forms (e.g., homophobia, sexism, racism, etc.), which converged under a hateful person.
The 'status quo' is 'broken' is because Rs have dominated the discussion for decades. They continually push for the worst policies and absolutely never compromise or collaborate. People voted for this - and are getting what they deserve. All because they believed the propaganda about 'woke'
They can't win unless we allow them to cheat go Gavin. Fight Fight Fight!!

Trump is a fan of catchy slogans. How about this one? Trump the train wreck. Single handedly wrecking the economy, rolling over the constitution, and destroying industry along with workers, womens, and minority rights.
Schuler - you're complaining a lot. How about you help fix the problem.
It’s time to fight the only way they can’t ignore.
Indeed. To those trapped in a broken status quo chaos can be quite appealing.
Too bad most of their members voted for the shitler
Wonder how the International Brotherhood of Teamsters feel now for not endorsing Harris. What a mistake that was, the 60% of teamsters that supported Trump are about to find out. They couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black woman. Shuler has got it right. We just need action now!
THIS IS what my fellow American citizens voted for. Because of their ignorance, all of us are hurting.
Kamala didn't offer the same broken status quo. She offered change but they didn't want a black woman. Trump however promised chaos and America chose chaos.
Good points #AFL-CIO So when are you gonna finally call some national strikes? Should have already happened months ago !
It's time to end the Republican fascist regime. #EndGOPFascism
I love how so many sane people keep adding to the "broken" framing that the right keeps selling. Biden left us with the best recovery in the world. We were doing just fucking fine. Yes, it was not perfect and we have things to improve, but we were FAR from broken. Stop. Just fucking stop.
America wake up!
Proj2025 finances tax cuts for billionaires by impoverishing Rural America. Proj2025 => BBB Congress in Sept faces "must pass" budget legislation that requires 60 votes. Demand relief for ACA, SNAP, Sci Research, Climate, Nat Parks, ... AND REPEAL THE BBB It's that bad! youtu.be/LnaCe1ZMODA
I don’t believe status quo is the choice we’ve been given. I do believe America chose chaos. If we make sure we get to chose again, I hope we don’t let our differences get the best of us. I hope we are clear about becoming a 21st century democracy of economic populism. We’ll see.
Hear, hear!
tbh the last 10 years have taught me to despise the very idea of populism. how can I trust populism when this is what the idiot masses voted for? when people are voting for things they don't understand & choosing to hurt people rather than help?
Economic populism differs from Trumps cultural populism. The latter seeks to exploit differences through fear and lies. The former seeks to use our resources, I.e.; taxes toward the safety and well being of all, instead of the quasi serf system were moving toward. I need a better word tho’.
sounds like socialism then. "populism" simply means "appealing to ordinary people who feel disregarded by establishment elites." since we've established that ordinary people are stupid, populism is counterproductive to actual progress.
I’m ordinary; I am not stupid. I’m not advocating any particular “ism”. I’m advocating for policies that provide the opportunity to benefit society as a whole. This will likely require many iterations of various pathways. Btw-you seem very intelligent yet I saw nothing extraordinary in your posts.
or·di·nar·y 1. with no special or distinctive features; normal. "he sets out to depict ordinary people" 2. what is commonplace or standard. our intelligence makes us by definition not ordinary.
Einstein, Sagan, MLK Jr., Jimmy Carter’s intelligence were extraordinary. I don’t see merely possessing intellect as extraordinary. Imho we’re a dime a dozen. Doesn’t mean we lack worth insight-doesn’t mean we do.
They chose racism, sexism, conformity and tribalism. Thats all they chose. They still seem fine with it.
I agree with it all accept conformity. They chose non conformity of a sinister nature.
They all want to conform to their group identity as white christians. They all act the same way and do as rhey are told. There is no individualism.
But Trump's banner on the Dept of Labor says he puts American Worker First. Is she saying that's [pregnant pause] NOT TRUE?!!!
Of course it isn’t true. Trump lies.
Oh, I know it! 🤣
Yep! I literally just got notice I may be losing mine and I should schedule any appointments before the end of the year. 🙁
Let's get our full Democracy back first. Once that's been accomplished, let's consider our future options & possible party changes. But priorities first. LIFE! FREEDOM! PEACE! Americans have got to care about life & freedom again.
Because of dumbasses.
Yeah, it turns out those pesky Democrats were right all along and it was the reTHUGliKKKon KKKult that lied constantly to Americans and like the grifters and con-men that their KKKult is, sold this box of crap to gullible right-wingers and independents. Sorry that we're a country of idiots.
This is what you call a piece a shit president !!
Good. Many of ur people are stupid enough not to learn from a past mistake and voted for a moron a second time ! Now you’re paying the price, & the world is being affected by ur stupid choice. The best thing that can happen is that the world decouples from you and the USA is brought into abeyance.
both parties tried to force eternal holy war on us. We dropped a trump on them. which is worse i dont know,. Which is better, we are.
American obviously care a great deal about clinging to their misogyny and racism, since that's what was on offer from the Republican ticket.
I'm sorry was the status quo broken or better? And who made it better? If 16M Americans are going to be kicked off their health insurance, that means 16M Americans had it. I'm sick of this both-sides bad cowardice. You're going to be coming to me a Democrat for money, so stop calling me broken.
Both sides. Until people see that there is only one working party and the other is causing the status quo to be broken, we will keep putting Republicans positions to obstruct, destroy and imprede whatever solutions do exist.
Both-sides-ism, but for blame 🤷🏼♂️
these people can never just talk plainly and speak the truth. it's republicans. republicans are to blame for all of this.
Americans got played, and Kamala was right about everything.
Sometime in the early 80’s, one of my teachers told us World War III would be between The Haves and The Have Nots. Looks like he nailed it.
How many union members voted for the Orange Menace? Lots I’m sure in places like PA and Ohio and other battleground states.
I don’t want to be the one who says « we told them so » but we told them so 🤷🏻♀️
Over and over again…
If there is a God, the stupidity of the Trump misadministration will be its undoing.
I hope that her mortgage documents are in order. Trumps secret police may come for her.
Interesting that Trump chose mortgage “fraud” since he always inflated/ deflated the values of his properties depending on whether he was negotiating getting loans or paying taxes.
You MAGA fucks wanted Nazis and death to brown people. Choke on it.
They're on here still defending. I just blocked 2 on this thread alone.
Labor Day is coming up. It's about honoring workers and all they do to keep America strong. And the regime fucks with workers every day and in every way they can think of.
And just where did they get the idea that they would get cheaper healthcare? The man had/has never had a plan for that.As for grocery prices…The media went along with them in blaming everything on Biden. Well now, prices are high than ever. The public were led by their noses…willingly.
Well if people really wanted these things then they should never be voting for any Republican and especially a child raping criminal conman felon traitor who lies every single time he speaks. Nobody thought they were getting these things when they voted for Donald Dump.
The Republicans always fuck everything up. Time to fire them ALL!
Rump has a job to do and that's bringing down America to the level of Russia.
But billionaires got their tax cut, so...
She’s 💯 right…
Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Trump’s loss in the 2020 election and a protégé of Cleta Mitchell, has been appointed to a newly created senior position in the Department of Homeland Security, where she’ll help oversee the nation’s election infrastructure, ProPublica reports.
They knew this when they voted. If they didn’t it was because they were too lazy to read the playbook
Does anyone think MAGA will notice?
He won the popular vote this time.
Elon Musk won the popular vote this time.
Keep speaking out.
if you wanted cheaper groceries, maybe you should have voted for the candidate who promised to ban corporate price-gouging. if you wanted affordable healthcare, maybe you should have voted for the party that gave it to tens of millions of you through the ACA & ARP.
SCOTUS ruled against unions and employees: Janus v. AFSCME (2018) Right-to-Work laws Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis (2018) Yet unions also work against healthcare for all, often privileging their own members. There are nuances to this issue, which you can explore on your own.
👍💯

Recession already here. Trump economy is a disaster.
We asked for Universal Health Care and yall made us all into Universally Mandated Customers of the most parasitic industry in the history of Humanity The Dems we have are broken Primary Purge, Spring 26
This is the choice I as a US voter actually received: chaos, which IS the same broken status quo of the GOP, OR a functioning Democracy with successful Bidenomics. Shuler chose the same broken status quo GOP, and she got it. Learn. Do better. Blaming the victims does NOT indicate either.
We have Trump-Idiocracy
And don’t forget dead school children!
I'm starting to think that Trump might be completely full of shit.
Why did it take you this long?
I was being sarcastic. I've always known Trump is a sociopath and a pedophile.
And which UNIONS ENDORSED HARRIS?
It was never about cheaper groceries, it was about permission to hate. Sooner people understand that, the sooner we can move on
Gotta love that talking out of both sides of her mouth! Jay Jay with the receipts! bsky.app/profile/jayj...
Bait and switch from a known liar and a con man. Now he is trying to prevent accountability by rigging the election.
"No one voted for..." Yes they did. They will vote for it again. By the time it gets bad enough to change their vote there won't be anything left.
Americans need universal healthcare. Not 'affordable'...but free when needed. Here is my story this week. 🇨🇦 bsky.app/profile/hank...
Universal healthcare leads to a more productive and prosperous nation. (Too bad the right is so blinded by motivated reasoning that they can't take in this obvious truth.) #CommonSense
Austerity is killing every part of this nation that is good. It’s a kick in the pants to know we can’t even go after tax cheats and all the cuts are so rich people can get tax cuts.
The billionaires creed: Austerity for thee, but not for me.
Vast majority of unions don't want it either. That's why she didn't say it. (They're wrong to oppose it, of course) www.hofstra.edu/sites/defaul...
Unions and union members don't understand universal healthcare. Americans generally don't understand it either. That's why I post about it.
unions understand that universal healthcare takes away one of their bargaining chips in convincing people to join unions.
True...but it would leave them free to push harder on other issues like pay, health and safety, job security guarantees. I'm on the mgmt side of these negotiations. Benefits are used as distractions.
Universal healthcare is what is needed in US. Sorry about the bypass.
Capitalism and Healthcare are incompatible .
You saw the first term. You chose him again. Don’t pretend you didn’t know what the body count would be.
Democrats need to come up with a plan, or maybe we need a new political party that is not musk mediated.
This amazing woman trying to make excuses for the stupid American voter. Only a good woman will sit across the kitchen table from her stupid kid (who struggles with basic math) and scream “I know you can do this!”. We don’t deserve these champions.
It isn’t as if MAGA wasn’t warned about this, they just didn’t think these terrible policies would harm them. They voted for it anyway because they are awful people who were fine with others being harmed.
A steady diet of very right-wing "news" media did the trick, as intended. 🤬
Pure unadulterated racism and willful ignorance did the trick
I think there are many in the south who don't follow TV or media at all. They get their news from family and neighbors. Which is why we need planes dropping leaflets about what is, and will, happen, down on their heads. At least through the mail!
Unless they’ve lived under a rock for the last 10 years, they knew and voted for it anyway. I’ll never understand why people make excuse after excuse for MAGA, the shit isn’t new
I'm not making excuses for any of them. I just happen to believe that many just go with the flow. And that flow happens to be polluted.
Then shame on them
Damn get this lady in congress
We have 1 choice. First get rid of this regime. Then build a new gov't that actually works for the people, not billionaires!
Exactly 💯 💯 💯 💯
The Convicted Felon and Rapist is Destroying our Country and Killings Americans even children by any means

That broken status quo can be fixed. All it takes are good, younger, candidates wanting to be political!
Bet you’re wishing for the broken status quo…
MAGA, you will have to live with these consequences also. Here's a great idea to end this & have a peaceful, secure life: VOTE BLUE IN 2026 AND 2028 AND FOREVER!
i will keep saying it over and over... AND STILL no cross country uprising!
Please . They knew.
The Ds (is @democrats.org the right copy?) are missing a bet by not repeatedly posting the video of Trump at the military birthday parade and Squeaky the Forlorn Tank, along with footage of occupied DC. D consultants appear to be crap focus group hacks. @kenmartin.bsky.social
Kick Jeffries out and start fighting
IN the "status quo" (aka Democrats) imperfect as it was, there were no concentration camps, people weren't losing farms bc crops weren't picked, cancer research was happening and some of us didn't lose healthcare. So people chose chaos (you were told it was coming) bc the status quo was soooo bad.
The problem is that neither the "status quo" nor "chaos" are sustainable options. People walked away and chose not to vote, and eventually "chaos" won. It is terrible and people will die - and it could have been avoided if the wealthy didn't rig the system and ruin it for everyone.
I’m tired of having to choose between dying so that art museum donors can stay rich or so that weapons developers can stay rich.
Don't blame me, I voted for Bombala. My friend could not, and I couldn't persuade him. There were no honest words I could say. But she won. They cheated. It will all be proven when we make our Maidan and TAKE OUR RIGHTS BACK!! It’s happening. It was foretold in the prophecies. Keep the faith! 📺✍️✊

If a Trump loyalist Deep State in our CIA, Russia, Mossad, Musk, Big Tech, Qatar, and other associates all wanted to hack our elections in 2025 to install a dictatorship that would be convenient to their common interests, they would. They could, and they did. This was a massive PSYOP campaign.

The US govt is deporting them all. Every last one of them. Back to their shithole, 'socialist' countries. Americans can leave with them if they like their countries better. But they won't.
You alright kiddo? You seem angry. Are your friends not answering your messages anymore? Want to talk about it?
I'm doin' great, Forrest, thanks for askin'. Upset about the Democrat-supported trans who murdered little kids whilst praying yesterday, but you won't see that in the leftist lunatic msm.
I'm sorry that the shooting bothered you so much, but why are you taking your anger about that to social media? Why not discuss gun control with your close friends that care about your opinion? Do you not have any of those?
It obviously didn't bother you. Why would it? Why not discuss your trans-illness with your close friends, or don't you have any? Your truths:
Now now, I'm just trying to help you out but if you're going to throw a tantrum I'll just have to report it. Let me know when you've calmed down and we can discuss why your friends aren't talking to you. We'll get to the bottom of your issues together.
Does being unable to afford insurance on the healthcare.gov site because of 75% rate increases mean kicked off?
Fuck affordable healthcare, I want universal healthcare you corporate knobs.
Too many chose hate vs joy. Harris had lots of great ideas to make positive change. The media didn’t think it was worth mentioning.
Miserable people were angry and jealous of those who weren't miserable.
Now we're all miserable...
The billionaires are gloating. Well, all the ones without a heart and soul.....
America wanted a depraved lunatic surrounded by opportunistic zealots to run the country. They got that.
They didn't vote as though they wanted those things or they would have voted for Kamala 🤨
block the trolls.
Plain and simple, if Shuler is not calling for a national strike then her speech is useless. The WH will take her as seriously as they take the court orders. Just another clown show in the middle of and authoritarian government.
The Republican voters wanted racism, bigotry and fascism. They are not innocent in this. They were fucking warned. Period.
You are correct, and also a large number of progressives decided she wasn't pure enough for them. Democrats eat their own. They're doing it now.
You are exactly right. The tearing down of our democracy is assisted by those standing on the sideline beating up those who are trying, even in their flawed way, to save us.
To be honest, Biden running again after promising he wouldn't is what was the problem. And much of that had to do with Wall Street Appeaser Dems not wanting Progressives to lead the Democrat Party. I have my bones to pick with them too, especially concerning the absolutely bogosity of SuperDs!
Proving my point. Democrats always have an excuse for not voting for the Democratic candidate. Meanwhile, Republicans fall in line.
That is called "Nationalization", aka Nationalism, and that was brought in by Newt Gingrich. That action helped launch the Fox Spews GOPravda network. Their first action, to drone on about how Clinton stole their policies (he did) and didn't get 50+% of the vote in '92.
Nationalization and nationalism are VERY different things!
Not when sold at once as the Republicans have done for over 30 years.
They wrote it in a book. Why are people now acting surprised.
When the Government opposes the will of The People, you get Tyranny & Fascism.

The status quo wasn’t broken. It was evolving, moving forward combatting climate change,racism ,wars. Unfortunately Biden lost the confidence of his party after his disastrous debate, but he was still able to give coherent speeches, support Ukraine , had the best economy in the world.
We want gun control. We get kids shot dead in school frequently.
Blue wanted genocide in Gaza and they got it
The US is so "HOT" in more ways than one
I dunno. I wanted to avoid losing my basic human rights and being made a second class citizen.
But they voted for this
This is THE MESSAGE! Simple and clear!
If they wanted those things, they should have let the previous administration continue. It takes the GOP days to royally fuck the econony, years for dems to repair it. Stop thinking some savior with a mic is going to magically transform you into felon musk 2.0. Dipshits.
Yep
Chairman Cow sucks and needs removed like founders instructed.

If we stop wanting things and just take them we will be part of the problem. I don't know about you but I have somethings I'm not giving up.
