It’s a good start but it will take all of us

Absolutely. But IMO we need leaders who have the position to actually make a difference & lead. We need to show up like we did in Colorado (my home state)

I think it's important to see their lead, but also all the voices that have emerged. Walz and Pritzker out in the media and Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy from in the Senate. Rebecca Solnit from her various perches, established groups (eg Indivisible) and the burble up ones (eg 50501).

The many voices on stage are good. The amount of people who are angry (and frightened and wanting to stop the coup) is massive. The movement, I think, is going to be like a murmuration, constantly on the move, adjusting, but always there.

I like the murmuration analogy and it is starting slowly and steadily. My concern is it’s to slow considering the pace of change/damage he is doing.

Yes, the fault in the murmuration analogy is the one predator it responds to vs the massive destruction happening. That said, the murmuration is agile and responsive and massive...and succeeds at protecting the collective. I like the idea of a collective dance, aware and attending and resisting.

Then they should be protesting instead of fundraising for a PAC off a tour

They are protesting, leading the resistance and fundraising the resistance.

They are padding Bernie’s pockets. AOC is fundraising off it too. They are not leading anything but their own parade.

35,000 people came out to see THEM.

And.. 50,000 came out to see Harris. See how that works

Yes. The point is they are not presidential candidates.

And Bernie spent time attacking Biden. Same old bullshit. He’s making promises that he has t even tried to accomplish in 50 years. He should be registering voters. Marching on DC. Not fundraising

Please dont ignore the leaders.

They aren’t the leaders

I have been a lifelong Republican, and if you told me 20 years ago I would be "hearting" this on Bluesky, I would have thought you were crazy. You're absolutely right, and I find it amazing how far my "label" has shifted simply based on ethics and moral decency.

Ethics and moral decency! That’s what we call for, tfg has none of it.
