Democratic voters don’t want passive or “reach across the aisle” politics while we are fighting literal fascism. Look at Texas Democrats. Fight like that. We’ll reward you at the polls. Stand up. Link arms. Draw a line in the sand. Tell the Republicans we won’t put up with this shit. Fight back.
Instead, Democratic leaders refuse to endorse Mamdani, one of the most popular Democratic Primary candidates. The Democratic establishment's approval rating is in the toilet because they are no longer a "kitchen table" party but instead, a "boardroom table' party. They better wake the fuck up.
Reminds me of what happened to Britain fighting by the book against the gorilla warfare techniques of the colonial forces in the American Revolution. When your opponent believes the ends justify the means, this rules/laws/decorum don’t matter, you have to go all out. This is the reality now.
This fantasy that people still want bipartisanship. I don't want to hear bipartisanshit from Dems any more. Republicans are the enemy. Look at what they support.
Jess Piper speaks the gospel.
While I'm in Texas and support the Dems actions here, I forewarn that we don't know the end result of the walkout yet. The Republicans might still get a quorum because enough Dems break ranks. And after 10 days or a few weeks, it gets difficult to stay so far away from your home.
They’re fighting at a considerable personal risk which is admirable Realize this fight is not about state level representation or their districts Marc Elias put it in perspective TX Dems are buying time to form a coalition & numbers #1MillionRising #FairRepresentation @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

"Democratic voters don’t want passive 'reach across the aisle' politics while we're fighting literal fascism. Look at @texasdemocrats.bsky.social. Fight like that. We’ll reward you at the polls." Or "fight" like @schumer.senate.gov & we'll bury you. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social
And @schiff.senate.gov @dorismatsui.bsky.social @bera.house.gov I'm especially looking at you!
Stop asking them to ‘listen to their better angels’!!! FFS they don’t have any!!! If you can’t see that by now Dems, YOU need to step aside!
Thank you Jess! This is a war of survival.
Yes!!!
Taking the high road against immoral criminals isn't gonna work. Give them a taste of their own medicine and watch how they run.
Could not agree more. Their use of the phrase "This is war" has to mean something!
Hakeem Jeffries embodies this tepid approach. He needs to grow a spine or get out of the way.
MAGA took a $30 Trillion economy & decided it was no longer good enough if they could not be in charge So the GOP: -SCOTUS -House -Senate -MAGA went KKK via the Heritage Foundation They will arrest the all and force them to work now FOR THEM! Americas 2nd chapter with slavery is about to begin
👍
The new Civil War has already begun, don’t kid yourself. Instigated , like the last one, by anti-democracy traitors who are destroying our country, trying to hold power forever, ignore the will of the people, & break us to their fascist, racist domination. Same gang, same goals, same violence.
Dems have no narrative, no story to tell about what is happening. They are all but silent
www.blueamp.co/p/time-to-ch... This guy recommends daily press conferences in cities across the country, declaring Trump's actions illegal, etc.
Bipartisanship is overrated
I wish they understood if they start fighting with gusto, the donations may flow again. I was a prolific donor. I haven’t sent one red cent to anyone other than Vote Vets since last year.
Yep.
“Reach across the aisle…common ground…compromise…” With pedophiles? Anti-vax nuts? Oligarchs wanting authoritarian rule? People who just took away a woman’s right to choose? People want LGTBQ people murdered? The voters who support them. What “common ground” are you proposing??
I hope they're getting the message. I don't think I realized before this regime that politicians really are skilled at NOT listening to constituents. We're an afterthought! Like trading stocks in Congress -- WE don't want them trading stocks. Why isn't that enough?
This!!!
Agreed. Passivity will not get support.
This photo is real and shared by an Israeli terrorist on Instagram. When I say they hunt people for fun and enjoyment I say the truth
Has anybody ever heard a cry for Republicans to "reach across the aisle?" Some worried admonition that Republicans "will have to live in the same country with" Democrats after they win? A single call for bipartisanship from Republican leaders when they aren't the party out of power? I'd be shocked.
Yes, it is time to take the boxing gloves off.
AMEN TO THAT!!! About time the dems lone voices are joined by other dems, in action if not words...
Tell that to all the Dems in my state of Michigan….
And one in Minnesota
1000% THIS!
Yea the "reach across the aisle" days are long gone.
🎯
Listen to her. Jess has been fighting this fight for many years. #Resist
Best way to do that is to bench Chuck Schumer for someone smarter and more versatile and a heck of a lot YOUNGER
🎯
Damn straight. Those days are over.
YES!!
When they go low...we kick them in the balls.
Have actual principles And not just focus group testing
The people who own them said no. Why is this so hard for Dems to understand. They are OWNED. Look at public disclosures, they’re not trying to hide it. You’ll see a pattern with the feckless and those who “donate”.
Overturn Citizens United!
Tell Republicunts to fuck off, you've shown what you are all about.
Collaborators won't fare well. Review history. Vichy Dems better repent while they can.
My rep is one of those who left, and every time someone says he's abandoned his job, I tell them no he hasn't. He's working remotely, representing me, because this is what I want - need - him and his colleagues to do.
I agree with you 100%!
💯💯💯💯💯💐
Days of McCain's "regular order" are gone. We need congress to stand up to the fascists, recognize who they work for, stop the collaboration. DO NOT vote yes for anything, including policy, appointments, ANYTHING coming from repugs! I know we don't have the numbers, but protest vote on everything!
Exactly. Can anyone name one single Republican Congressman or lawmaker we would actually want?
and run for something - oppose them in every race
FUCK REPUBLICANS!
Thank you for this. This is exactly what we need to be doing.
We’re in a War4Democracy… We’re drowning in MAGAs Gulf of Stupidity NoFight Dems blew it with their “go higher” when facing a knife fight w/Racist Nazi GOPs; No urgency to trumpandemic, jan6 insurrection, classified docs, impeachments, etc & now trumpty 2.0 WTF Fight to DEFEAT every project2025 MAGA
I was just reading something disturbing about a reverse empathy that Cheeto and his gang display. That they enjoy hurting people! So, yes, there is nothing 'across the aisle'! If we can detect the gene we can solve them one way or another.
I love our Jess! Another #WomenWarrior ✌🏼💙🦋🇺🇸
Democrats have always had a pretty obvious path to electoral success: 1) tell the ugly truth about the Republican Party and 2) campaign on an agenda of aggressive economic populism. The question for our age is why they never take it.
Texas, get organized! go.bsky.app/VcoYkZK
Some Dem politico said to bring a knife to a knife fight. I say bullshit. Bring a gun. With a large capacity magazine.
Assuming we get to go to polls ever again.
A lot of talk but has anyone seen blue states take concrete steps to redistrict?
Capitulating only makes him stronger. We have the power to weaken him. How far does he have to take us down before they figure it out?
The time for bipartisanship passed five months ago.
Preach!
I don’t know. the lobbyists won’t like that
Yesss … Dems need not comply. Should resist and not be complicit or cooperative with this regime. No more playing by the rules!
Well said. I no longer "agree to disagree".
Chuck thinks this will all be over soon enough and he can go back to back slapping and glad handing across the aisle. Chuck has to go.
They could literally throw rocks at the GOP across the aisle and it would be too little too late.
Yes, most Dem voters are finished with "middle of the road" reps trying to be all things. Stay the course for the people and your voters will too.

Hate to say it, but Bill Clinton set this in motion by caving to the right after the midterms in 1994.

The war has begun. Those who still think this is a war of words and ideas haven't been put in a cage. Haven't been attacked by a masked thug. I'm truly sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the turd war has already started and if we can't put it out the turd world war is inevitable. 🙃
ACTION, not another "strongly worded statement" issued from behind a lectern or on a book tour.
If only we could get them to listen to us. @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social
Texas Democrats are really throwing a wrench in Chuck Schumer's "victory through surrender" plan.
Yes please!! These are the kind of politicians that will get my vote! Our democracy is worth fighting for. Elect people who understand the way forward.
Yes. on the money. Sadly we have weak-kneed 'leaders' like Schumer and Jefferies, who shrink from the fight, align with corporate interests over rank and file voters, and lie down for MAGA.
If we “reach across the aisle“ at all… It better be to grab somebody by the collar and slap the living shit out of them!
Hahaha! I approve of this approach.
The Dem fighters will be the Dem leaders when the time comes to run for President, and the rest of the Dem politicians will be relegated to followers. We don’t need capitulators.
John Cornyn is calling on FBI to arrest Texas Democrats. If they do, we need to hit the streets and keep protesting until we take our country back.
Democrats despise what Trump and the Republicans are doing. But we despise almost as much how little the Dems are doing to fight it. Dems think they can just point a finger at Trump. But that’s simply not good enough anymore.
💯🔥
I believe the young man, can’t remember his name, who went on Rogan’s podcast, can make a difference. He’s the kind of democratic candidate that can win a Senate seat in a red state. I think Beto’s mistake was being too tough on guns in Texas, scaring many old white men who need guns for comfort 🤷♂️
Allred is calling his loss to Ted Cruz a win. The dems will never learn.
LFG ‼️🇺🇸💪💙
Reach across the aisle? To enemy Republicans? Hell no.
I don’t care whether Texas gets their gerrymandered map approved or not I expect my @governor.ca.gov to gerrymander California for 2026. I don’t wanna see one republican going to Congress from California. Fight fire with fire.
Fight from in the front, like civil rights activists. While whining about how mean and strong “ hot wheels” while sitting in a luxury hotels. That what would convince me to fight for democracy.
Reaching across the aisle to those who let women die, who are racists and misogynist, and white supremacists is literally the same as negotiating with terrorists! We will not negotiate over women’s bodies or immigrants freedoms. Fuck those guys! #FTG #FDT
Exactly!!
It's time to fight fire with fire!
Most Dems have been so committed to "comity" and "compromise with GOP" that they have mostly become Republicans in their policy preferences. Their real hostility has been reserved for progressives with in their party.
democrats - if you really want to win elections, lead Americans in a non-violent strike
