If you get mad every time I call Democratic leadership out...do yourself a favor...and hit that "unfollow" button. If you think they've been doing "all they can," you are detached from reality.

Well I guess the truth hurts. Some seem to be just cruising along the path of least resistance. So yeah they need to step up and get into the fight. No lame dogs!
They were willing to sit it out until things got really bad with Elon, Doge and the chainsaw. There was no plan, lots of warning, but no plan if they lost the election. And a very slow response. Political pundits are not putting much stock in the Dems redistricting either.
Every violent ICE video makes me scream “ someone make this shit stop”
a NEW DEMOCRAT party needs to emerge. All these micro-issues are an anchor to the party and divisive. Need BIG TENT Politics that more people can get behind.
yeah...i'll bet they sit & watch him destroy the white house with that fucking ballroom. i havent heard a peep out of any of them about that.
I’m glad you’re calling them out. I really had hoped there would be a more united front with democratic leadership. It’s not like we didn’t know what he was going to do. Time for new leadership.
These people are a big part of the problem.
👏👏💔👏💔👏✊✊💯✊✊👍
Once again, if you have the answers call the Dem Leadership and tell what they should be doing! Posting on this site accomplishes nothing! At least tag them with your rants!
Is there a way I can hit the "follow" button again? Because this!
This 👆! Full stop.
Solid post. Great attitude. The Dems, and the GOP, need a bunch of new authentic voices. This old guard crap and the Progressive nonsense have all got to go.
I will NEVER get over the Democratic party walking away without a fight on a likely rigged by Musk and company election.
There is leadership in the Democratic Party? That’s news to me.
The Democrats have coasted for years and rode the gravy train. At this point, too many of them can't choose between love of country and love of money. They're so into the perks and good life that they won't make a stand for fear of being ostracized. But now they are in danger of being replaced.🤷
Yeah, I'll show you! [With increasing desperation, hunts for Undiscover button]
I created a second account just to FOLLOW you again.
I support you Jack. Democratic leadership is failing America at this moment. They are not the default for group to support for hating this administration. I can hate this administration and still not support Democrats if I feel like it. That is called Freedom.
I will never forget that act of crony-ism that Schumer pulled at the very start.
No shit, we need a hundred more Jasmine Crocketts stat!
There's a democratic leadership?
I have a weird, or unconventional, mindset. I don't want a tent of everyone but GOP; I want a smaller tent intent on helping the middle class and being inclusive of anyone who wants that. Our middle class should be the strongest group of humans in the history of the world.
They need to play just as dirty as the repugnants, no more trying to reach across the aisle! They need balls!
I’ve said it before, they need to be out having town hall meetings as if they were campaigning to get reelected especially Hakeem Jeffries. He needs to set an example and he is failing as a leader.
I have been calling for action in Nov 2024!
They aren’t even close to doing all they can in my opinion!
Facts!
Participated in 5 local anti-Orange Monster protests here in CA and postcard campaigns. The Hon. Susan Crawford of WI win signals postcard campaigns help. I will start writing to state representatives. But not kick-ass enough. Suggestions are welcome.
Time to end putting bribed politicians in leadership positions their just too obstruct for ultra rich donor oligarchs !
What would you have them do? Got a list?
The only way I can see out for decent Americans now is civil war unfortunately 😞
Truth. Our Democratic leaders are doing as little as possible. It’s embarrassing. The worst kind of posturing and poor showmanship. Another example of elected officials serving the wealthy and screwing the working class.
Meanwhile Trump Family spreading its wears globally- thus one is scary.
I’ve written to NV reps for months. The boilerplate auto response from one is ALL I’ve heard. *I damn sure hear when donations are wanted
Absolutely, the Democrats need to get down in the dirt just like the fucking GOP does. It’s the only way to stop the Nazification of your country.
I’m with you.
"It's a big club, and you ain't in it" - thank you George Carlin, you were right. Gop/dems -both controlled by billionaires and apartheid israel. Repeal Citizens United un-corrupt the US government. The government wasn't meant to be a millionaire making position, it was to serve the public ---
The best thing about democrats, imo, is that we can call out the bullshit pulled out by either party. This shouldn’t be hard to do- and yet republicans seem to hide from Daddy Trump instead of calling out their own BS!
Their ego and identity can’t handle it! Imagine being tied to a person/group more than your personal morals.
Or you're lying to yourself.
Agree with you 100% Jack!
True!
Ah, Democrats—still gallantly charging at the windmill of "bipartisanship," oblivious that it collapsed years ago under GOP wrecking balls. While they wave olive branches, the other side sharpens knives. Democracy doesn’t need handwringers—it needs warriors. Wake up now, or watch it perish!
Finding the solution to all of this mess, requires pointing fingers in every direction and asking questions and demanding answers. So, I agree with you.
Hear, hear!!! 💯
Calling out those who are compliant is a must. Just remember there are democrats that are actually trying to do something and not being compliant.
Define “all they can” in terms of “all they can in order to not alienate their big donors”
Democratic leadership needs to be called out! How much longer can we wait on them to wake up and grow some balls??
Why is everybody waiting for someone elses to do what we can and collectively need to do. The system has been lost, fuck the system, create a better system.
I think you need to use a few more F-bombs
What I don't understand is why the Democrats don't use the message they've been handed. I would constantly be reminding people that the Republicans can stop this at any time. This is all on them. They could work for the people but they choose to work for trump. This is all on the Republicans!
haha mad? no. Think you're encouraging the wrong kind of assessment? Yeah.
If someone wants a feed they agree with 100% of the time, maybe social media isn't the best fit for them
I can count on one hand the politicians I’ve seen that do “all they can”. Both sides of the isle. Term limits. Eliminate “riders” and “line item veto”. Let’s start there.
Many of them are doing nothing or talking out both sides of their mouth. This is insanely fucking exhausting!!
I’m livid with the Democrats at this point! They let this happen, and even with evidence that he didn’t legitimately win the election, they have taken no action to save us, yet keep asking for donations in many emails a day for us to support them taking action. Grrrr!
Agree! The “leaders” have failed us all!
They are not doing enough. Hot air. No action.
Nah, I just think they’re doing more than you and more than the other angry people in your thread. Much more. It would be funny except you’re doing the gop oppo AND discouraging Dem voters for 2028. Nothing more. Nothing less. 👍
👍 99-0 for Lil Marco SAYS VOLUMES 🤬
can’t you just blame the voters and let leadership fundraise in peace?
100% truth!
It makes me sad, because while I wish I didn't, I know it's the truth. The people who are supposed to be our representation, are, with a few exceptions, abdicating that responsibility at the very time we need them to fight like hell.
They act like primaries are a bad thing. I think it’s the most important part of the process.
💯
I agree with you and it is to every democrats detriment to discount our concerns.
I made a crack about a Dem on here. Oooohh wee, got my frigging head bit off !!! That's why I enjoy reading everything you say !!!! Sometimes the truth hurts......
HELP Them!!!!!
All they can to lengthen their own careers and increase donations 😳😑😵💫😵🤡
Hear hear!
If they were truly doing all they could… We would never have been in this situation at all.
💯 if leadership had done so well, we wouldn’t be where we are. Self examination is essential. They are just speaking out with no real plan to get us out of this mess. We the people are our last best hope…. The best thing is to question and be critical until we get results-not just hot air…
It's time for the old gaurd to step aside and let the people willing to fucking fight back take the reigns. I'm tired as hell watching our country slip away while they write strong letters while doing nothing meaningful. FFS!
The Democrats are largely absent from putting up any semblance of resistance. No question about the tech bros fucking with the voting machines or pushing for a manual recount. AIC, Crockett and Sanders are making noise but need help.
AOC not AIC.
Don’t follow you anyway, so suck it
Don't put all of them in the same basket.. Yes, some appear to almost be Democrats in name only but, a small group are diligently fighting hard for their constituents.. Those are the lucky folks..
I don’t think some of them can get out of their own way. The “we go high when they go low” it’s not gonna work anymore. You need to fight nasty with nasty. If Bernie Sanders can do it ….. it’s not about age.
This is an excellent read on the subject, but the bottom line is…. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-democr...
Dem leaders seem unable to accept that legality and constitutional checks-and-balances no longer apply. Unless they start thinking outside that framework, all they will ever accomplish is another useless impeachment--which Trump would tout it as further evidence of his invincibility.
What leadership?
Fucking A brother.
The lack of dem leadership is the reason trump is president.
There is always room for criticism and improvement in a true Democracy.
Majority of Democrat leaders are way too passive against the MAGA GOP machine.
👆👆👆👍👍👍👏👏👏
#signalboost
This old grandma stands with you 💯 %. Keep calling them out. They have become so removed from the needs of the people they serve I say replace all of them.
Totally agree. I just block people who think Im too harsh on Democratic Leadership and say something
Keep singing it Jack! Dem Party leadership is nowhere to be found. Now’s the time to fix that. If we don’t, the dictator will gain total control. He’s dangerously close as it is.
They need to feel more heat. Way more heat……
Fact is we need to primary out all establishment Dems who think sucking up to CEOs or the Cheney's will win moderate Republicans and we need to give the populists with the popular positions who will actually help working Americans because they've been waitresses or bartenders or construction workers
I'm tired of being the not gop, not asshole. We need to establish who we are. We are a strong Middle class, pro worker, and kind Americans.
We need a congress and president who will change the way the constitution is implemented. The constitution is a framework of government implemented by congress and executive approval. The current implementation of all three branches is broken and unresponsive to the people.
If we get through this we need to rebuild the whole fucking thing from the ground up. Election reform, term limits, rearranging the way the branches interact. Overhaul the damned Constitution even.
Eliminate the executive and get a parliament who put forward a head of state by assent.
We HAVE to get Citizens United & AIPAC out. I believe there is only one Democrat, in the whole lot, that doesn’t take money from AIPAC. US only, no more propping up 🇮🇱 with 4bil checks on top of defense
This is my maxim. Complete rebuild. New constitution. New republic.
It's literally the thing I want to be writing about the most currently, but it seems we have to save the world from a bunch of racist scum suckers first. Evil clowns who lament the good ol days of slavery and women belonging to their husbands. Every day feels like a South Park episode in real life.
Agree. Until we do that nothing else happens. But once this all ends, there is no reboot we can just hit to make everything go back to ”normal.” Normal is gone. The constitution has been demolished and there is no reboot button to bring it back. We have to start over.
From the ground up.
Yep and if we have to go it alone without red states I’m fine with that. I’m not sure 50 “United” States will ever be a thing again anyway. We need to just have a divorce.
It's definitely one of the possibilities. I really hope it doesn't become a hot war, but we're barely into cold war territory because our leaders are either ineffective, incompetent, or cowards for the most part. A few exceptions, most of whom are stuck in Congress unable to do much.
I have hope in AOC, Momdani, Crockett and a few others. But yeah there is a lot of dead wood to clear out on the D side as well.
We need to coordinate and be proactive. I'm trying to encourage more and spread some crazy ideas, but there's a limit to what can be done without a real plan. The bad guys have a plan and are following it. We're just reacting and milling around confused for the most part.
The progressive caucus in the House + Bernie, and the Justices that at least recognize what's happening, are all doing their best, but they're ultimately hamstrung by the way the system works. They can slow the train down from the inside, but not stop it. Root for them, but don't rely on them.
You are right! Democrats are waiting for a primary. And in fact Cheney should be on that list.
No she shouldn’t , the republicans would never take a democrat, we must play hard ball
Biden won because the Democrat’s ran a brilliant primary. You have to create a spectacle. Not saying she should win but that she should be a candidate.
No , that’s like digging your own grave
Oh, I think Kamala created a spectacle. But what worked in 2020 didn’t work in 2024.
for a decade, the establishment Dem leadership has coasted.. collected money.. clipped the wings of the Progressive contingent..and I always voted blue. I said when MTG et al. hooted like chimps on the floor: "They don't know HOW to govern." but now it seems the Dems don't know how to fight.
I was talking about a couple people in Congress that needed to go. One down one to go
The reason they don’t fight is that they are ok with repukicans ruling. They make money that way. It’s nothing but a show they put on
Indeed. It simply doesn’t square anymore how they get out maneuvered over and over and over again. Clearly we need new blood, before it’s too late.
Yup... in a number of ways... the Democrats aren't all that much different than Republicans... yeah, there is a difference, but to some of them, and on some issues they're functionally not much or no different... and that isn't anywhere near good enough to me.
Keep going but most will not admit or accept that there are more MAGA in the Democratic Party than they realize, that more democrats agree with trump than they realize especially when it comes to race just like republicans wanted a pureness to happen so do democrats.
We ex (R) are totally screaming for dems to take the gloves off and they continue to make speeches and call out (R) politicians to come back and do the right thing. That’s not going to happen. We will never be united. Fight fire with fire. Blue states succeed NOW!💙✌🏻
That's a bingo.
Agree entirely
Change isn't easy for some Dems, but the status quo, political cowardice, and cronyism have stultified progress, innovation, and inclusion. Dem leaders have disappointed and alienated old and new voters. Our party lacks diversity and a plurality of views that reflect voters and visionary values.
Please list what you see as actions to take. It’s one thing g to take issue. I have no problem with that but I do take exception with no solution to offer. So offer us your solution for the Democrats!!!!!
if i had a fucking solution, i'd run for office. jeeeezus. they are very well paid...let them do their fckng jobs.
I ain’t mad at you because I feel the same way. I’ve even posted on Blue Sky on the leaders accounts telling them to shyt or get off the pot. This is not business as usual and if you aren’t a part of the mess do something.
Does anyone NOT UNDERSTAND that the next people to be DISAPPEARED are the resisters. Thank you Jack! People need to get with reality. I’m begging them.
I’m staying. Cos democrats are FUCKING USELESS and they need to be called out HOURLY. Step outside our shithole country and ask any other country their perspective. They are INCREDULOUS. They know without a doubt the window of saving ourselves from fascist apocalypse is ALREADY SHUT.
I’ve been furious with them since January! How many Democrat Senators have confirmed appointments? Too many!! Why aren’t they using every tool, like McTurtle did, to stop everything! He did it to Obama, over & over! Schumer knows the rules & can stop a lot of things!!
I can’t answer your question about how many Democrats have confirmed appointments, but I am not sure of the relevance of that number. Republicans don’t need Democratic votes to fill the appointments. They have the numbers to do it themselves.
McConnell didn’t use every tool. People overestimate his power, because they forget that, until 2013, he had the filibuster on his side. After that, he had a majority, and outright refused to host nominees on the Senate floor.
How can one not be frustrated with the weak responses from Schumer.
Where are the Republicans who are going to help Democrats stop Republicans in the Senate like conservative shithead Democrats helped “McTurtle”? They were the only “tools” he needed.
Yes! We had Sinema & Manchin, total dickheads!!!! They forever voted against their own party!
There are no Republicans that care about the USA. They want every facet of the Confederacy enacted - end women autonomy - end humanitarian rights - promote white supremacy, which will really be wealth supremacy, but poor racist white ppl will buy into it, imagining they are wealthy too.
I believe some of them, at least, are compromised. Who? I don't know, but Schumer would be one of my top guesses.
Compromised by what, or whom?
His name has been rumored in connection with Epstein for years.
Standing Ovation!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Amen!
👍👏
Uniparty.
I think they are a frightened of Trump's base as the rethuglicans are.
💯
Our democratic leaders are nothing but lip flappers
we not only need to vote out every republican. time to replace the old school democrats with younger, more progressive people who are ready to fight.
👍💯💯
Block the warf rat.
Really.
I hear you loud and clear. It's the truth.
If aren't satisfied by hitting the unfollow button, here's what you should do after clicking it: 1. Compose a sternly worded letter expressing your dissatisfaction with Jack and his opinions. 2. Take a hard copy of your letter to your back yard. 3. Using a podium, if you have one, read your...
letter aloud in a firm, but civilized and measured tone. Be sure to emphasize your points by gently thumping your closed hand on the podium or shaking your fist in the air. 4. When you have finished reading, crumple up your letter into the smallest ball you can possibly make. 5. Very gently...
push your balled up letter entirely up you rectum. Feel better? No? Are you more pissed off than before? Good. Now you're starting to understand how we feel when Chuck Schumer's ONLY response to the GOP's attacks is 1-3 above. So, yeah, he and the rest of the useless old guard can fuck right off.
I have a ? For @chuckschumer.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social WHY THE FUCK IS THERE ANY HAVING TO THINK ABOUT CHANGING MAPS IN BLUE STATES WHEN TX FIRED THE FIRST SHOT. THERE ARE WAY MORE PEOPLE IN BLUE STATES THAN RED STATES.
Why aren't you guys out on the streets on a daily basis? Too complacent? If you want to save what's left of your democracy you better get your ass in gear!
I agree that we should be out in the streets. Have an occasional march (my local folks only do them on Saturdays when no one is inconvenienced) or one day strike (also done on weekends where there is as little impact as possible). IDK what it’s going to take.
Too many are waiting on a political “savior.” If the current ones are useless, we start begging Clinton or Obama to do something. What can they do? They did their time.
They had a chance to take care of Trump issue but Garland…. Anyways they had the Epstein files too and didn’t do anything. They too are culpable for this mess and are probably protecting powerful people.
The Democratic Party still live in LaLa Land if they believe they can wait for the Midterms in 2026 !
save it or watch it burn.
Amen! And same for me. open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...
A fukin men
I'm waiting for a Democrat leader to declare war on the GOP and like Churchill, promise to fight on the beaches and to stay the course "without the slightest hesitation, until we are satisfied, and more than satisfied, that this malignancy in our midst has been effectively stamped out."
Good luck with that one
I know.
Texas Dems are showing us how it's done and a few others too like Newsome, Pritzker, Hochul..... Sanders, Crockett, AOC. Did I miss anyone? 😁 Dems are awake finally and fighting back! It's never too late to try and save our beloved America! 🙂
🏆
Anyone critical of our minority whip is a fucking idiot and that is a FACT. Schumer is fucking spiked didlo up Trump's ass.
Ok so educate us on what the fucking minority in the house and senate can legally do if you have some brilliant plan the best political strategists in the country can not seem to think of? Lets see if you actually know anything explain parliamentary procedure. That is a mountain for a minority.
Agreed. The last thing we need the outcome of this war to be, is the 'settle for the best of the worst' mentality etched into public psyche. This is WWIII and it's being fought on American soil If we the people want to win, all the players need to be stripped bare and their intentions scrutinized
I call out failed leader Schumer every post I see him make. Mostly asking if he's making another strongly worded letter with crayons.
Right. Not leadership either. .
I concur.
I truly hate your surprise paywalled links, Jack—but 99.9% of the time I have to agree with your takes.
They need to be called out!
I agree with you 💯
I can hear the music 🤣
That's a good thing!
Anyone who believes Liz Cheney is Not her fathers Creation is dumb as shit.. She believed she could be The female John McCain. Grab his people. Only Repukes killed off his people. She would get in And slaughter the Democrats. And enjoy it.
They are completely useless. Not even fighting back.
💯
You are keeping them are their toes. Or holding their feet to the fire. Whatever you call it, you are in the fight. We all need to be fighting.
They've been doing all they can't!!
As I have written before, they lack the “will-to-power”. It constrains what they do. I don’t think they know how to do more. They have no leadership and do not even know what leadership is. I gave them an action plan months ago. 13 or so actions they can take immediately. NADA.
Complicit and just acting their part is more like it.
💯
Have they been doing anything? There are a few speaking out and fighting back, but damn few.
I don’t think they are doing all they can. I’ve spent months wondering WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS?!
Seriously 💥 🙄
Where’s our Democratic Daily National Briefing / News Conference from a different City & State to dispel the lies and spread truth and resistance? Where are the lawsuits assailing Krasnov’s Duma with suit after suit on his Constitutional breaches, subpoenas for the Epstein Files?
Oh. They most certainly have not done all they can. 🤦🏻♀️
Call them out loudly and often.
You are 100 percent right
Thanks for telling it like it is. Dem leadership is still relying on tradition and precedent when the Repugnants are burning things down. It's no different with our state party. There's no effort to organize state-wide protests. Grassroots are active, but leadership is focused on fundraising.
Keep hollering.
💯
Democracy will be defended in blood. There was a time the soft words of Dems could fix it but they conceded too much and the Republicans are not going to come back to the negotiating table Blood will need to be spilled
💯 agree 👍 Dems need to act towards the right wing Republicans and current "illegitimate" administration like this >>>HOLD MY BEER MF 😡
They are failing us. Have been since November.
I mean I love it when they bring a candle vigil to a stealth bomber fight
I agree . You know who can REALLY STOP THIS?? The republicans. They don’t want to. So both sides suck!
yes apparent when Kamala says she didn’t expect swift capitulation: we’ve been capitulating to corporations and the almighty dollar for many decades and both political parties in the pocket of ‘business’
At this point in time “Democratic leadership” is an oxymoron!
Truth!!! Voting for any of Drumpf’s nominees did it for me!! 🤮
They haven’t even FOUND, much less “mustered” the BARE MINIMUM… The entire leadership should resign their roles in SHAME
All reaction. No satisfaction. Same old fools. Playing by the rules.
Democratic leaders have lost their way. We have gotten to this point because Trump and MAGA have been able to lie, steal, cheat, and plunder the country with little or no opposition from Democrats. Democrats have to be loud, aggressive, and unflinching in their opposition to all of this BS.
Well put.
The issue I take with that statistic is if it were true then statewide, Texas should have two Democratic Senators and a Democratic Governor.
Keep up the righteous fight
The official Democrat leadership is basically Ned Flanders' parents.
Dems look at what's happening in Texas - they're hunting Democratic representatives like felons, docking their funding, and making them grovel to pick up their pay check. This is a fight for survival. If not, you'll be living in a ONE party fascist country.
too many are still struggling to understand that there is no point in having a dialogue with Republicans. anyone who votes with this or supports this is gone. they are Confederates and need to be treated. as such. we should be holding our real leaders to a higher standard so thank you for doing it
What are you doing? Anything helpful?
The Democrats are as useless as the Republicans are corrupt. I think they are too busy day trading stocks with their insider knowledge. My Representative is Lois Frankel. I never hear a peep out of her.
They are all complicit to this madness
You and Me!
Still trying to be nice… those days are over. Fight and win. Then be nice. For fucks sake already
They're only performing their patriotism at this point😒 They KNEW he'd steal our election, and LET HIM. Now they're trying to act like it's a normal fucking day...😒
I’m pissed off at Biden, Garland and even Harris. They could have saved us. They were are best warriors in place and they just “walked away”.
the party worked hard to push people that conservative and purge all liberalism. They must have wanted trump very much.
I’m a Liberal. Period. I align with Democrats for voting purposes. The DEM Leadership is so out of touch it’s ridiculous and sad. I’m a 67 yr old white white woman and I basically “hate” old white stupid, victim, men. There are too many to count. Yesterday,realized my Dr. is a Trump guy. So mad.
i think they were always trying to push us right, and only pretending to not be for wars to trick us. but they made the mistake of assuming everyone is on their side. The two sides are those who compromise to deliberately kill the largest number of innocent people in the conflict and those who wont
Agree 💯
Nah, our leaders are bending over for Trump the same way he bends over for Putin. Go for it.
🎯
We need to know that we have representatives that are gonna back solutions with a hell of a lot more teeth than another play-by-play press conference. Right now, it’s like listening to Cris Collinsworth during a Jets/Titans game.
This cannot be said enough!
🎯💯 agreed. Dem politicians need to do more to save democracy.
look inside democratic leadership meetings
👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽truth!
