“Where is Democratic leadership?” -Ali Velshi That’s a fantastic question.
“Where is Democratic leadership?” -Ali Velshi That’s a fantastic question.
A little leadership from the Republicans would be helpful as well!
Probably going the Hakeem Jeffries route with Mamdani where they need to have “meetings” and “proposals” before they decide or do anything. And they wonder why despite Trumps low ratings, theirs is still lower.
yeah, hello Democratic leadership?? where the heck are you?
We need to give them all a push.
they're busy being upset about Zohran Mamdani.
Democrats surrendered? Fuck Schumer, Jeffries, and whoever it is who is the party chair.
Well... I've been watching Amy Klobuchar videos of her on vacation, going to fairs for photo ops and having a hell of a time during this latest coup.
They fear the Cult and are useless
BUTTIGIEG, CROCKETT HAVE BIG VOICES. CROCKETT COULD ASK HAKEEM TO STEP ASIDE AND LET HER LEAD WITH HER GREAT IDEAS AND TAKING NO SHIT
They are SILENT and it’s disgusting
too busy taking AIPAC money to be anti-fascist
Counting their money.
Governors are standing up, what about the rest?? We can’t wait
The problem mostly is that the current leadership is compromised of people who won’t give up power, or even really listen. I wish after his complete folding he was forced to resign as leader. And for all her flaws, Nancy was a more effective leader.
Democrats. The left. Where is anybody? All that tough talk about punching Nazis? All these Internet plucky rebels? Just tough talk. A convenient weekend march or two. Some sick burns on social media. Speeches. But no one is doing ANYTHING.
That would be : AOC Crockett Frost Pritzker Sanders Newsom 💙❤️🔥💙❤️🔥💙 Jeffries & Schumer hardly any display of leadership at this point. N.o.n.e. Z.i.p. N.a.d.a.
Jeffries has no spark at all, I am disappointed - wtf.
Some Governors. Handful of House members. Senate? You could hear a pin drop.
Put thier Pics on milk cartons.
writing strongly worded letters and hiding from conflict.
Exactly! Waiting around until Nov '26 is NOT cutting it. By then, what will we have left? We need physical action in the streets, 24/7 in the faces of police, military and ICE. Uncontrollable hoards of angry people need to be out there, and we need LEADERS to get us out there and harness our power!
Unless that person is looking for a single Dear Leader, the answer is Pritzker, Kolbucher, Newsome, Warren, Schiff, Walz, AOC, the governor of Maryland, (in fact all of the governors), Warner, Murray, and lots more who are suing, protesting, speaking out, proposing legislation, showing up in many
many ways while willfully uniformed people pretend them out of existence to justify feeling smug.
It's not about feeling smug. It's about identifying when we're getting the infuriating combination of lip service and blame dodging instead of action. If they wait to act until a more convenient time, the conditions for that time won't come.
No it's about being smug and superior toward people who are working their assess off and taking the risks. Refusing to give credit because cynicism is easier than doing the work.
Not Klobuchar- weak, not Schiff- weak. Crockett yes
www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
Have you heard a peep out of her for months? She may not be taking payoffs but her colleagues are & she knows it. She has complaints and no solutions. Like all of them. When Rs didnt have control of Congress they kept at their destructive tactics and never stopped breaking ‘norms’ & rules
Crockett needs to stop taking millions from the crypto nazis before I like her.
Link? I'd like to read about this.
lonestarproject.net/2022/05/18/c...
Hmm... I will look further as well. Thx for the info
It's really disappointing. She got their BS crypto "regulation" bill passed in TX. How exactly do you regulate a complete scam?
Any Democrat taking $ from SillyCon Valley crypto nazis or AIPAC is comprised & is not going to do anything to actually help working Americans.
Not true.The Infrastructure bill, the student loan forgiveness, the Inflation reduction act and the CHIPS act and the reduction of cost of insulin and Medicaid expansion all actually helped working Americans. I you are failing to recognize that a person can be bad on some issues and good on others.
Agree. It depends on how bad is the bad, though. Is it just fund raising that happened to be crypto, or is she ingratiated to them?
THis thread has gotten confused enough that I don't know who "she" is. So, speaking generally about the real world, people can be very very very good on some issues and very very very bad on some or any combination of good, lukewarm, or bad on a range of things. Rethugs tend toward mostly to bad to
racist neofascist corporatist religious nuts on most issues whereas Dems are generally good to great on the common good social contract issues with some outstanding and some who are notable exceptions on specific issues. Whoever she is, she's likely pretty good on some things but not everything.
Crockett is absolutely ingratiated to crypto. Practically the first thing she did was sponsor that bill, which was written by the crypto bros. It's bad. I don't want Democrats who support crypto. It's a massive pyramid scheme & it's going to end up crashing the economy.
Here's another example of her being pro-regulation of crypto. www.bing.com/videos/river...
I'm not sure you have that right. SHe backed regulations to control crypto. crockett.house.gov/media/press-...
*the Governor of Maryland Wes Moore
Klobucher, you must be joking!
J B and Gavin are stepping up…
Hmm 🤔…there is an assumption that it exists, which it does not! That’s why we got the Orange Taco 🌮…DEMS have failed to meet the ppl where they are at time n time again!
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Where are you?????? Trump is trying to militarize our cities. Speak up!!!!
In Ca and Il. 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly! With the exception of a small handful of Dems speaking up (Crockett, AOC, Jeffreys [?]), you hear nothing from them as a group. Considering the unconstitutional shit Trump is pulling, you’d think they man up and collectively stand up for democracy (looking at you Chuck Schumer!)!
It's at the state level.
Counting their AIPAC money?
Amazing
Sorry, Fucking amazing.
They’re very busy beating the shit out of every up and coming Democratic candidate who can’t be guaranteed to lose.
How the hell they went into this thinking “easy, let trump be trump and everything will turn in our favor come next election” absolutely blows the mind apart. Even I knew after his first six months LAST term he (they) would go full authoritarian if given a second term.
Drafting a strongly worded letter
The old guard were able to hold things together and show and pave the way. Since then I have waited for the "cream rises to the surface". Futility?
bsky.app/profile/darl...
As it stands right now? We got Gavin and maybe J.B. - that's about it
I think Newsom and Pritsker are the defacto party leaders right now.
I think Maryland’s Wes Moore is stepping up also. Not quite as headlining but strong.
Newsome and Pritzker and Walz as well have actual authority within their states to enact their own policy and command people. Congressional leadership has been piss poor but they also have zero power outside of talk. The Govs can actually do something vs send letters and talk.
Without question.
Every time I hear Pritzker, my estimation of him rises. He is clear, doesn't pull the punches, doesn't use jargon, and doesn't carry California baggage. Newsom is capturing social media headlines now, but Trump gave Pritzker an opening to enter the fray - and he is taking it. Get the popcorn🍿
Pritzker is a good fighter. But as far being a Presidential hopeful, MAGA will be vicious regarding his ties to his cousin who is Jennifer Pritzker, a billionaire major donor to Trans Activist cause & is a TransWoman herself. As well as both of them are Big Pharma Nepo Babies.
I don't know much about his backstory yet. MAGA and GOP will pull out all stops to spin anything they can find. Oddly, they don't see that Trump taking a stake in the means of production is state socialism. Crony capitalism, fascism, and corporate socialism. What could go wrong?
It isn't odd if you know where they are coming from - they are in a red bubble - indoctrinated since youth to NOT question authority or be beaten/risk HELL Fire & also that Liberals, Leftists and Dems are baby killers, Demon spawn, etc & think we are focused on Killing them all for funsies.
I get it. My (ex) stepmother is a fundamentalist Christian, with a hell and brimstone preacher. Totally drank the koolaid.
These folks are drowning in it and claiming they are saved. Tragically they are dragging the rest of US down the KoolAid Rapids.
Everything can go wrong if it's up to Trump w/ his anti-Meidas effect - Everything he touches turns to 💩
Wes Moreland is starting to make waves although slow He’s going to run for president I think
Newsome not as good as Pritzker because he doesn’t care for trans people. Pritzker does care.
Exactly!
Pardon my typo. Don’t have a freak out.
Big ask on this site! 😑
Typoooo!!
It’s about survival at this point. Not just the Democratic Party, but America itself. Your President just (yesterday) bragged to the South Korean leader that he has a good relationship with either Kim Jong Un and that - he admires him - WTF!! Americans and Canadians fought in Korea for democracy!
And Walz, for that matter
It's with Newsom and Pritzker and others. And it's strong. Stop promoting the negative. You won't see what you reallly don't want to see.
They are watching tv and tsk tsking, clutching their pearls, and watching their bank accounts grow from their AIPAC donors. They dont think there will be another election so they are milking it for what they can
Hanging out with AIPAC and a few billionaires as usual. F them. They don’t represent or give a damn about 99% of us.
Give up on Schumer and Jeffries - they’ve given up the plot - the Blue State governors who are actively Fighting back should Form a ‘Coalition of Blue States’ to coordinate resistance and governance outside the ‘United’ states
It's in the governorships, and right now mostly only in the governorships (with a few exceptions).
I would suggest that people who oppose Trump’s criminal regime, forget about the Dems, the courts, the mid-terms, & concentrate on bringing this regime down, by massive widespread demos, confrontation, civil disobedience, & withdrawal of consent to be governed/police by criminals & terrorists. Rise!
Where ever AIPACs head quarters are
WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?
Vacation. Again.
This is why we lost.
California New York Maryland Illinois Minnesota
Yep. Where are they? Jeffries needs to be primaried. At the very least, him & Schumer are not fit for top leadership spots. They need to step aside. They are failing us.
If you find out, let me know.
August vacay?
I’ve only seen strongly worded tweets, strongly worded letters, but they need to do more!!!!
These times will separate the doers from the talkers.
Sometimes I think they're in on it.
Same
giving fist-pumping fight fight fight speeches behind podiums.
Forming a strongly worded response and collecting their paychecks.
Where is GOP leadership? No free rides for Republicans in this mess. Democrats are not responsible for this ugliness. This belongs to the GOP and MAGA.
Oh definitely!!! I don’t think anyone commenting here are defending Republicans…I’m certainly not - republikkkans are 100% to blame for the Trump shitstorm but Democrats “leadership”. I.e. Jeffries, Schumer, Martin have been woefully ineffective at best…they only seem effective asking for money
Explain to me, like I'm five, what you expect them to do? Criticism without solution is only complaining.
Well, I’m not exactly sure what they can do now, but it sure seemed the republikkkans could stop all kinds of things that Biden, Obama wanted when republikkkans were the minority party in Congress…
Everyone seems to want to become fascists to stop fascism. We tried to find an insurrectionist president guilty of crimes. Our highest court prevented it and allowed a treasonous individual to take the office, even though states sued to prevent it. Hold the court responsible, not Democrats.
That is ignorance. We have ZERO leverage with Republicans. Break out of your decades long way of thinking about politics. It no longer applies. Focus where we DO have leverage: with our OWN elected leaders.
Our elected DC leadership is a disgrace. If/when they do speak publicly they don't talk about eliminating Trump, instead they sound like their in a 2020 campaign. More time needs to be spent on calling them out. Lead or resign.
Isabella has a dumb mom
Exactly 💯. They speak loudly enough when they're asking for money 🤑🤑🤑🤑
💯
Couldn't disagree more. Our leaders are fine. Don't demand from them what the GOP blocks and blocks and blocks, including the court. Until Americans elect Democrats, the ball is not in their court. Blue states can focus on districts, like Maryland today, and Cali. The work is behind the scenes.
Time to break out of “the GQP has all the power crap”. We, the people do. I DEMAND MORE OF THESE SO CALLED LEADERS. THEY FIGHT OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY
Go ahead, put it all on Democrats. See how that works for you. No one is capitulating. We just aren't blaming people who don't deserve the blame.
They have been too quiet. So, yes, they can push back harder. I saw Chicago’68 and Kent state. JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are the only voices I’ve heard. And by the by I’m an independent I vote locally and nationally I want to hear passion
Everyone is entitled to their own view. Attacking people who have a different approach splits the coalition. I heard a beautiful speech from Tim Walz, powerful denouncing fascism. I often hear Pete Buttigieg talking about listening. Neither deserves disdain. I don't need to be called ignorant.
Agreed, but let’s remember that being in the minority means stop gaps are very limited. Flaunting the rule of law, the courts, advancing propaganda are the disasters used everyday against us. All of us. Either the GOP ousts him or they don’t. A general strike which will be violent - or this.
💯
I wanna see Democrats use the same political guerrilla tactics that the GOP used for years. JFC McConnell managed to seize power while in the Senate minority. Dems need to play hardball. Norms and decorum no longer exist.
What I am hearing is we suspend normal operations of a democratic society to enact legislation that will benefit only some? That is what you appear to be calling for.
I’m suggesting Democrats face reality & fight fire with fire.
Going to need some specifics. Legislation is being ignored by the executive, sanctioned by the Supreme Court. What is the plan for overcoming those in power ignoring the Constitution? Somehow Hakeem and Chuck are supposed to have a magic wand. America voted for this mess. Quit beating leadership.
I’ll quit beating leadership when they start acting like leaders & get in the game. Sitting back & banking on voters to reward them out of spite for a wannabe dictator seems to be the Schumer/Jeffries playbook. That’s why ppl wonder where’s Dem leadership.
The GOP thanks you.
🤣😂🤣😂yeah, that’s usually the response when Democratic voters dare to question leadership or the lack thereof.
Hence, a Republican Congress, Executive and SCOTUS. Enjoy your criticism. Its doing exactly what the GOP intended.
OMG. Is someone still so blind they don’t see that Republicans are going to support this takeover until they face a situation they can’t bulldoze through?
That’s how it started, yes. BUT, now is the time for strong action (not reaction) from DEMS to save it all. America, whether you like it or not, st this point, you are ‘all in’. Do or die.
These people don’t want reality, they want to hate democrats.
I am increasingly suspicious they are MAGA plants.
Even if that were the case, it’s a dangerous assumption. This type of rhetoric is exactly what keeps low information types thinking that voting doesn’t matter.
Now rhetoric keeps people from voting? Is there anything else we can pile on? Not responsible for finger pointers checking out of the election process. I trust my guts. Its called the Gift of Fear.
Not your rhetoric, theirs. That’s why I say don’t dismiss it as just trolls.
I lost the point. We have gone from Democrats need to fix everything that the GOP has destroyed or the world collapses, to what, people won't vote? If is walks like a duck, and starts quacking, I'm not waiting for duck shit to make an assessment.
I’m saying that the people, like damn near everyone in this post, screeching “dems bad” can have a material impact on voter engagement. That’s all. Trolls or not, the consequences are real.
Never assuming I can get someone else to take responsibility for something as life changing as voting. We are going to need courage and fortitude to make a verdant world. Maybe we have to let the weak go.
Isn’t the problem that the “weak” (at least mentally) all show up and vote republican?
Either kompromat in whatever form, or Ivan and Boris from the Russian mafia have paid them a visit and reminded them that their entire family will find the nearest 40th floor open window if they don’t remain quiet.
The poor fools are afraid because they got elected on money from the very rich. Rich people, rich organizations, rich corporations. The Supreme Court decision in Citizens United opened the floodgates of money in politics. It has ruined our democracy.
Thumbs up their asses. Jeffries and Schumer are pathetic. Just pathetic. Give me “inexperienced” Crockett and AOC running the House. Sure they’ll make mistakes. Maybe big ones. But they’ll force change. They’ll create accountability. We need people who want to get into the shit.
So… are we not counting “strongly worded letters” as creative leadership now…? 🙄 For a man who had the nerve to tell Biden his time had passed & he needed to drop from the race to then refuse to take his own advice… I have lost any remaining respect for Schumer.
Honestly, we’re beyond caring, at least I am. I think we need to say fuck all political parties and unite to fight a mad Dictator.
Expecting to win a backlash election. Democrats do not want to organize people. Organized people demand things. Things donors will not abide.
🖐️These days it's more of an oxymoron.
M I A D O A
You’ll find it wherever Republican governance went.
Writing strongly worded letters, and getting rich from insider trading.
Illinois.
Jack, I appreciate most of what you say, but in this I refer you to Gov Tim Walz yesterday, or any number of Governors, Congress members, Senators and others who speak out every single day. Not hard to find. It’s easy to say it it isn’t happening, but that’s not true. WE unify, or we don’t.
He also is ignoring that the press won’t cover it.
Hoping I live long enough to see her in the Whitehouse ❤️🔥
You and I both. Doubtful for me though.
Hang tough 💖 I am.
So am I. Just realistic. Old and physically impaired so… I want to live for a much longer time.
Same here I get it. 💖 All I can do is be as proactive as possible & then hang tough.
I’m doing my best. We’ll see.
You’re making me tear up. I’m here wanting you two to make it to again see the sun rise on the truly free America you had once.
We want to make it also. Just realize it’s not a done deal.
Buy a fucking newspaper or get better sources or something. They’re in the news every damn day. Everyone’s doing something. But, by all means go after the party that’s not in power because voters chose fascism.
As always, Bernie Sanders is out there fighting for us on his own. He draws huge crowds, fires them up, and listens to their concerns. He’s been addressing the real problems for decades, the ones people need solved but politicians won’t fix because they’re all taking bribes. Why do you ignore him?
Nancy Pelosi wouldn't have taken this shit. Chuck Schumer on the other hand has always been useless.
Who is the democratic leader? There isn’t one.
They are at the Susan Collin’s stern letter writing symposium.
Secretly, they love DJT because he makes the people long for status quo mediocrity. He's the best thing that has happened to the establishment on both sides of the aisle.
Collecting stock dividends before it tanks
nowhere. Disgusting
Not doing a goddamn thing beyond empty words and worthless speeches, they like the republicans need to be voted out so people who actually want mankind to prosper can take the wheel.
All on vacations and on our dime
We don't have any. HARRIS IS scared to death, she was our leader then she lost the election and disappeared.
why is she scared to death?
She should tell us. Probably threatened by the administration. However, we are out there daily soon we will be next, but we fight anyway.
I can only surmise that she's sitting back, glaring over a hot cup of tea with, "I told you," written all over her face.
She’s not wrong if that’s the case.
Not at all. If anyone deserves to sit on their hands, she does for sure.
Call them! Please flood their phone lines and voicemails with displeasure ☎️
Everyone knows that Trump and the Republicans are intent on converting the U.S. into an AUTHORITARIAN FASCIST government, and they are well on the way of accomplishing it. | At what point, and with what METHOD, will our Democracy STOP them? What action will it take to END their ongoing THREAT?
We're getting tepid violin concerto applause, but expect sub sandwich slam energy.
Not in DC…
They're discussing who they're going to throw under the bus to appease the Nazis
They are busy cashing checks from their billionaire donors.
Cashin their AIPAC checks after writing a strongly worded letter
Newsom is trying the rest
We're not seeing ANY leadership from ANYONE.
Theyre on a yacht somewhere sipping martinis.
Have to agree
They better be taking lessons from Newsom and Pritzker.
For what? How to do the 16th most effective thing to fight fascism?
And Mamdani!
And Tim Walz
LOVE TIM WALZ and his family so much!
Need new leaders!
Your problem is that, unlike our political system in Australia, you don’t have an opposition govt with shadow ministers to provide a contrary opinions on govt policies. You end up with random DEMs vying for media attention and auditioning to be the next DEM nominee for President.
Only exists outside of D.C.
#Democrat leaders rarely put their butts on the line but are happy to stand back and cheer on those who do. He’s a loathsome, disgusting toad, but Steve Bannon was willing to do jail time. Where is that kind of firey commitment to cause from Dems?
Inert pathetic show ponies beholden to the same AIPACs and billionaires that fund MAGA.
it doesn't matter anymore, they are irrelevant. Schumer, Jeffries and Ken Martin have seen to it
It's the governors and a very few members of Congress, all progressives and mostly women. Schumer and Jeffries have been less than worthless. Both should be primaried out. Democratic leadership's refusal to fight makes me think they all have bone spurs.
California, Illinois and Maryland governors are present. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries (and their lieutenants) are worthless. These two NY politicians should not be the minority leaders. Unless the Democrats want to be in the minority for many years to come.
I see dem governors step up. I see some house and senate members speak up. I see nothing from leadership.
That's a bullshit question. It should be "Where is the press?" Why aren't they reporting on Trump's firehose of lies, his health, his firehose of misinformation, his racism, and his ignorance? DO NOT out all that on DEMOCRATS. REPUBLICANS are the ones supporting fascism.
It's in the blue states governors' mansions. There's no leadership in Congress, unless you count members NOT in leadership positions.
Follow @ariellaelm.bsky.social for updates on Dems doing the work. She works hard gathering and sharing updates.
They are working. They will not put on shows, but they are working.
Honestly a few of them seem like they could be on Trump’s payroll.
Get it the fuck together dems!! WTF!!!!
trashing Mamdani
California, Maryland and Illinois, for now. Emerging in Pennsylvania, but slowly. Going to have to lean on governors. The Senate and House demobot leadership is useless.
Better question: WHO is Democratic leadership? 🤷♀️
Asleep
They’re busy writing sternly worded letters of concern.
Leadership is coming from the states and the rank and file. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are useless at this point. When Congress is back in session, congressional democrats need to start the process of replacing both, along with their lieutenants, although I think they're waiting until 2026.
Agree.
What do you believe their replacements can do as long as they are in the minority?
Well…Bernie Sanders in the Senate/AOC in the House - just off the top of my head. There are others…..
I like AOC in the House. Alexandria may have bigger ambitions; she would win either one of the New York Senate seats, which could propel a Presidential run. I do not have a clear favorite in the Senate, but I like Mark Kelly, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Elissa Slotkin.
@democrats.senate.gov we ALL want to know
"Democratic leadership" is out there with the unicorn. They are having a tea party.
They are most likely under threat.
Guess again. www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...
Busy fundraising of course!
Bought and paid for by aipac So, awaiting orders from israel
What can they say? They’ve completely ceded the story on immigration reform and now they are completely at a loss for words on crime. DC going over a week without a murder under armed occupation is only going to set up the case for the regime to do it nationwide. They’ve failed us and will lose 26
Bought and bossed Dem leaders are too busy enabling genocide in Gaza, and apartheid in the West Bank to pay any attention to rank and file members’ needs and cares.
Come on you guys, time to fckn save the world! No hold barred. Get in the game or give in.
So far, we are seeing that leadership in our democratic governors! Thank you for actively speaking out!
The Team is starting to form finally! Pritzker finally stepped up Newsom grabbing attention and fighting back against gerrymandering
It’s an oxymoron. It should be at the top of a thesaurus’s list of examples.
They’re out there, but not in Congress.
They are weak. The governors are doing all the fighting.
bsky.app/profile/josh...
Working the donation phones
On a month+ long vacation. They might do something after a good rest up from their vacation.
California, Illinois, NY, Maine, and Wisconsin governors are all there standing up for Democracy, sounds like Democrat leadership to me
Don't forget Minnesota!
Oh yeah, I get the great lakes region of M and W states all mixed up lulz
Wisconsin and Michigan suck.
They have subpopulations of liberals that are extremely easily influenced by #PootiePropaganda for sure, and lots of libertarians, ie pot smoking nazis, beautiful states, but filled with morons unfortunately
Our elected Dems seem to either be MIA or cruising the cable news circus circuit. I hope they are working behind closed doors to hash out a strategy and a plan. But historically they are not pro-active.
Schumer needs to step aside and it needs to happen soon!
Have the Dems' families been threatened by Russia like they did Biden and Kamala or are they just a bunch of feckless losers enthralled by corporate money?
Democratic leadership is an oxymoron.
Where are the Republicans, too?????
WE ARE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF LEADERSHIP
Time to wake up, this coup shouldn’t have happened😡
@aguilar.house.gov Chair of the Dem caucus on msnbc weeknight: “We must make our voices heard.” That’s not leadership Pete. That’s just another way to say “strongly worded letter.” If you want to be heard - California should stop paying the federal government. Withhold funding. They’ll hear that.
Schumer is practicing his fist pump in the mirror because he’s about to come out with his half moon glasses and smirk and declare that “we will fight.” He’ll wait scanning the peeps for applause. Sadly, none will come. Crickets will chirp. He will gather his papers & go home for the evening.
Being polite and following rules, while waiting for the tide to turn. They must be that tide!
There is none. That’s the problem.
Asleep and blaming their problems on the wrong people.
Democratic leadership?! That's oxymoronic.
Cowering.
I asked the same question about the same time last night. WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS? Maybe we need a scavenger hunt to find the elected officials who are supposed to be fighting for us. Cuz right now, they are MIA! It's time to force them into action or get out of the way.
The GOP, led by destructive demagogues, is driving the best people out of politics. Ask Nancy Pelosi's husband if he's delighted that she still serves US -- and she was the actual target because she is a Democratic leader.
Co-conspirin'
Certainly not the leaders in the Senate or Congress. Those who would lead are shut down by "leadership"
Busy working to tear down @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , you know, the guy really threatening the republic /s
I heard they going to shift the burden of defending the people, to the people themselves instead of leading the people in their defense. That way they get to risk nothing, retain plausible deniability and reap the rewards if it all works out.
WADR to Rep. Jeffries as to Sen. Shumer, they are not war time consigliere. We need energy. Energetic folks like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Pritzker, Walz, O’Rourke, McMorrow. Find a cause. Become passionate about it. Then channel all your energy to that cause. SM is tiring. You need an outlet. LFG !
Pritzker, Newsom, Sanders, Warren, AOC, Garcia, Swalwell, Frost, Raskin, Casar, Green, Crockett and a few others have all spoken out clearly & forcefully. If only the Speaker of the House or Senate Minority Leader had the same fire in the belly.
Let’s not forget Maine Governor Janet Mills who was one of the first governors to push back on trump (and won)
That’s the question of the century. Maybe if we put a ‘road closed’ sign up on the high road, they’ll get off their asses and stop twiddling their thumbs.
Propaganda alert! Drink!🍹 Democrats in disarray is back. We voted to give them words and letters. Now, it’s dooo something! They told you to vote. You didn’t listen. White voters, start a general strike. Republicans may pay attention. Do something yourselves.
They better fucking start the fighting.
Ever heard about Newsom, Pritzker or Moore?!
🧐Answering to their AIPAC💲 Donors of course‼️😠
Here they are!
Right now Dem leadership appears to be a handful of Dem Governors. Jeffries and Schumer et al. are a disgrace!
On a book tour
They are asking for donations.
Enjoying their cushy paycheck.
Hiding behind AIPAC"s big cash
A leader must emerge. We should stop looking towards an existing politician, democrat or otherwise. The moment WILL come.
They are with their corporate comrades in the Replican party.
Where is Laurence O’Donnell
They have to stop appealing to the other side. Republicans are shamelessly taking people’s rights and freedoms away. Democrats should shamelessly protect everyone’s rights and freedoms. You can’t work across the aisle with psychos.
They’re busy sending me emails, begging for money while they let their geriatric calcified leadership completely fail us and not fight for the republic. They do not have a team that can get this done.
Oxymoron? or contradiction in terms? 😊
Newsom, Pritzker, Murphy, AOC, Bernie, Wes Moore in Maryland...soon Mamdani. Cory Booker no longer front and center but still active Admit Jeffries and Schumer are failing to meet the moment
We need to start pushing back on gop leadership, like John thune! They supported this!!
You saw it- Pritzker and Newsom
Hiding behind their constituents.
I think most of them are shopping for European Villas. They don't GAS about us.
Newsom is trying.
Preparing emails to beg for money.
Where's Waldo. I mean where's Schumer is he still breathing
Hey Jack, we’re still searching. I will get back with you hopefully very soon. We don’t have a lot of time.
Pritzner, Newsom, Crockett
We're past needing answers, we need replacements
? Last time I checked governors ARE leaders. Maybe Schumer and Jeffries coordinated with said govs so as not to steal any thunder. The govs can actually follow through on threats; Schumer & Jeffries don't have that kind of power. Anyway, you think Jeffries isn't instrumental in Epstein hearings?
It's currently in Newsom & Pritzker..
I’ll add: who is democratic leadership?
AOC, step it up.
I will never forgive the Democratic Party for being utterly useless in the time they’re needed the most. It’s infuriating.
