Dems want a blue wave? Get rid of @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Stop trying to silence the voters with your AIPAC bs. We see you and we aren’t happy about it.

The other shoe hasn't dropped yet. The Depression hits this fall, can't get a mortgage, rental Lords add 50%. When two 6-figure salaries aren't enough. When medical bills crush you. When the GOP takes most of your benefits of citizenship. When redistricting won't save the GOP; party won't matter.

"Vote Blue No Matter Genocide!" still rings loudly in the ears of millions of potential voters. It won't happen.

You know what they say about a picture. Genocide Joe did that. More like a blue piss into the wind. #GenocidalUniparty

May not? The left umm, left. They're not only unwilling to stop genociding Palestine, they can't smell their own rotting carcass. #GenocidalUniparty

Love how a Right-wing owned news agency is predicting what is going to happen in mid-terms. 😂😂 STFU! It’s going to be a tsunami not a wave.

You=🤡

“Wish in one hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first” Dems are about to see this. Actually, who I’m kidding? They won’t be able the see that. Impotent party in constant denial state.

Easy steps for a Blue Wave: #1 Very vocally refuse to accept anything from AIPAC #2 Very vocally propose a plan to limit financial freedoms of future representatives #3 Very vocally propose a plan to #EndCitizensUnited #4 Start acting on that plan and publicly cast out those who refuse to act

...and #5.. Very vocally and demonstrativey end arms deals with Israel and every other country where crimes against humanity are taking place.

There are many in Congress who are stepping up to the moment with strong words and actions. It’s up to voters to require more from those who are sitting on their laurels. Low voter confidence in the Dem party is a reflection on voters who are laissez-faire or uninformed. We have to pull together

They are confusing our unwaivering hatred of trump with support for them, while they do nothing to stop him. Big mistake.

It won’t happen with Jeffries and Schumer at the top and their love of genocide. Don’t vote or give money to any Democrat who continues to support Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Let them lose for their support of genocide. It’s the only way better candidates will emerge.

then they'd better fucking flip the script....DEMOCRATS MUST #dosomething.....

I would think with these two, it will not happen. . .

People are sick and tired of the leadership of the Democratic party. The ones who run on ending the alliance with the Israeli government, government ethics (no insider trading, etc), funding education over military and wall st., and national health care will win.

We don't need reps. taking bribes, sorry, donations to turn a blind eye to atrocities. We need a flood of people who run as Independent. They never say red or blue, instead they say how they will vote on XYZ and if they have taken any lobby or PAC money. If you represent me, then you get MY vote.

When Ariella Lim posts upcoming local elections reminders and on the daily reminds us that politics is local and a conservative won by 16 votes with 192 voters showing up, you know the Dem establishment doesn't have the fight in them.

ATTENTION ALL DEMOCRATS BEFORE MIDTERMS With this outlandish “gerrymandering redistricting” (Texas and potential of Red States), Democrats MUST GET TOUGH AND PUT SKIN IN THE GAME before Trump and his MAGA Congress “put their foot on you and squish you in the MIDTERMS!

They already have a knee on their neck!

It could happen...if they get their butts moving on being more present in local communities.

Hopefully, Ken Martin and the rest of the DNC will come up with a coherent strategy instead floundering on a message that hasn’t dented the Republicans.

Politico is the Tim Brady of shitty political predications. Between tariffs, the OBBB wealth transfer to billionaires, and Epstein even Democrats can’t fuck up the backlash that’s coming. bsky.app/profile/dear...

Need stronger leadership. Schumer has to go. Younger. Tougher. More relatable leaders needed

The media is claiming Democrats aren't beating Republicans. Every seat available will go to a Democrats unless it's a bloody red State, pay attention.

It probably won’t because democrats eat themselves rather than fight their enemies.

Maybe they shouldn’t turn their back on the LGBTQIA+ or feign support for Gaza while continuing to arm their oppressors? Maybe, just maybe, Politico should go back to the hell it spawned from?

I understand that 44% of Republicans are White, Christian pedophile-approvers. "The Base" #ItsACult

Umm... 👇

bsky.app/profile/mayh...

Number one President of charlatans and false prophets.

It's kind-of amazing the stellar level of representation these people have been able to find in Congress...

Laugh all you want and wishcast the next year away but despite outliers, he has a 44% aprvl..literally better than Biden for a good stretch

They better stop doing this then... 👇

I quit donating until real leadership changes along with listening to the people instead of their donors.

As long as out of touch, mealy mouth corporate centrists are in charge of the party, like Schumer or Jeffries, it’ll die a slow painful death

This is the only blue wave the dems will see.

It is time for a third party to win.

Independents could take a lot of local elections

And yet they can not win Congress, why is that?

Well, I mean now. But honestly, there's not enough of us involved in trying to change things.

No one likes these feckless old men either.

Come on!! Who thinks the a**kissing repugs are better?!

Totally. 🤣

Meanwhile the Green Party still has no candidates or campaigns. Somebody start a real opposition party, please!

Their candidate, for a while now, is a con artist and Russian sympathizer. The Green Party killed themselves with their name. And their platforms. Immature. We don't need another party. This is good vs. evil. What we need are the petulant children to abandon litmus tests. Won't happen. Too selfish.

I assume you're being sarcastic with "good vs evil." The US only has a choice of "evil vs evil." Nothing is a black and white as the corporate media wants us to believe.

No. I don't do sarcasm. And I don't do the victim game. Have fun with that though.

Im not being starved & slaughtered in Gaza but my intellectually disabled sister was almost neglected & abused to death 4 times in CA state care, who forced me to be her only caregiver with a major health issue, unable to leave her for work or healthcare that doesn't exist in CA, so we are victims.

Wash Jeffries and Schumer away.

I occasionally read Politico but just started following them here. Damn. They kind of lean in to the anti-Dem propaganda with the social posts, huh? Seen quite a bit of it.

Hope is not a strategy Blue nothing

Then maybe stop voting with the fucking Republicans you hypocrites Are you really gonna fucking vote for Jared Kushner’s father and then expect us to vote for you? I don’t fucking think so. www.newsweek.com/charles-kush... www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...

There will be a blue wave. The question is whether all the votes will be counted. There is no depth to how far the Republicans will sink to stay in power

I can hardly fuckin wait to vote, but for who? I want to vote for courageous candidates. So far, the Democrats only have a few of those bright voices speaking up. IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, SPEAK UP.

If only Schumer and Jeffries talked to actual voters instead of consultants and billionaires.

It is better to fight the good fight for what is right and not fall for the cowardice of the naivete and the doubts. This country has fallen in the hands of a tyrant and he is ruining our democracy. It is ALL HANDS-ON DECK from all American regardless of party affiliation to vote for democrats.

Whatever

Not with these two cures for insomnia at the top of the Democrat party.

Not with these Dems at the helm. It'll never happen!

The US seems desperate to be the first country to un-develop itself.

We wouldn't be the first.

Says the outlet now owned by Axel Springer.

They're right.

They have a point. Dems are following the same tired playbook of “Republicans are bad” rather than doing anything to stop them or working on a single policy people can get behind.

crazy how bad they are now. Just like the WaPo after Bezos decided to bow to the orange king.

Virtually, everyone I have talked to is voting either for Democrats or against GOP. I think there’s a good chance.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Democrats, you have to actually do something meaningful for that blue to show. Please, get it together before it’s too late.

The tariffs will hit Americans over the 2nd half of the year and into next year. Americans will figure out that Trumps tariffs have screwed them out of thousands of dollars. And they will finally realize that he had NO INTENTION of lowering prices for them. Results? A BIG midterm win!

The biggest mistake Dems continue to make is thinking that the American public is smarter than they are- there is nothing obvious to most people. A solid campaign driving home the obvious is what is needed. No one thinks what Trump is doing is right BUT that does not mean they understand why

Well, that's fine. Who needs vaccines, educations, reasonable prices, cars we can afford, and representatives that are not criminals anyhow ... 🤔

Anyone heard from DNC Chair Ken Martin? Seems he is MIA. 🥱 And y'all wonder why your wave is appearing more and more like a drip. WTF is the damn LEADERSHIP?

The big beautiful bill is so designed, that in case of an electoral win for the Democrats, the cuts for the little man will hit, and the Republicans can once again blame the Democrats. So, how to avoid the worst, might be the retorical question.

Just stop, Politico.

They need to do more than just hope. Or wait until voters are crying out due to financial hardships.

theonion.com/trump-still-...

Plenty of us won’t vote for them until they change leadership.

So you’ll vote republican? Or just won’t vote and then bitch about bad things are.

I have always voted Democrat. Zero chance that will change. Thanks for inquiring though.

Listen I’m not crazy about all the democrats. I would love to see more young progressives run and unseat Schumer, and Jeffries. Young people just don’t seem interested in politics.

You will never get a chance to vote again if so.

Yeah and you people are the problem

Don’t agree. I always vote Blue. However, it is imperative to get younger people in leadership roles. Both Jeffries and especially Schumer are all talk versus action. So many things need to change. I digress.

Look, I don’t disagree. But people who won’t vote until changes are made are the reason we’re in this situation in the first place

We need to stack the SCOTUS, put term limits on both they and all of Congress. We need to Primary Schumer w/ AOC. The list is long, but the aforementioned is a start. As for getting back the House, it will only slow Trump down. It will not stop him. Only way to do that is to take the Senate too. 👊

Fair point. I just think that we as the Dem party need to invoke change. For so long, our reps haven’t tried to change anything from the ground up. The system is extremely broken. By the time we have a shot to take back power it will be much worse. We desperately need new blood to do this.

The reason we're in this situation is because for DECADES now Democrats have been telling us to plug our nose and swallow. You're doing it still. Dems won't be getting a dollar, a vote, or a minute of my time until they have new leadership and a new platform.

I have to agree with this.

👏👏👏👏

Imagine thinking that everyday citizens w/ integrity are the problem, instead of wealthy electeds who are all talk/no action. I've always held my nose & voted for the lesser of two evils, doing my part to suppress the GOP. Where has it gotten us? Fascism. Time to try something new. 🚫Status quo🚫

👊

And you're the reason we're here in the first place. Too dense to understand you're the ones allowing genocide and suffering in both the US and Gaza by refusing to vote for Dems.

I have always voted Blue. Never missed an election in 38 years. I am not the reason we are where we are.

And suddenly you refuse to vote blue when we're in the midst of fascist takeover? Don't buy it.

Believe what you will. It’s of no consequence. Dem party needs to adapt. It’s really that simple.

Adapt to what? To all the pillars of democracy being demolished from under us? We aren't in control of any branch and the rules no longer apply to the GOP. What specifically do you think Dems can do?

While leadership has to change not voting means maga republicans sweep blue states. That’s worse

Simply because they are stuck in their ways. Unless they start listening to what democratic voters want (some wants may go against Aipac) they’ll continue to be unable to stop the destruction of the US as we knew it.

Republicans are already cheating they know America is pissed at them

Don't listen to Politico.. Carry on.

Dems just suck less. They still suck.

Only thing they should get

Sounds right - if it were a wave, they'd have to actually do something, and that's not good for fundraising.

LMFAO…. idiots

If they would leave the Republicans alone and let them devour each other things would be much better for them. Focus on food prices, rent, keeping healthcare, stop the Medicaid cuts. Let the MAGA's go after the Epstein Files. Obsessing over it only allows them to throw it back on the Dems.

It’s not gonna happen if the Dems don’t get off of their ass and fight back for some of this horror that we’re living in

This just means that you have 77 million vile Magas that have become Sodam and Gomorrah in their hearts and care not for anything decent

What are dems doing to deserve it? NOTHING.

This post was brought to you by Politico in order to divide and polarize you

Truth sucks

Dems have to stop hoping and start fighting

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social So much for winning democracy huh. 🙄

I AM SICK OF POLLS! They need to be eliminated!

Hope is not a strategy.

The Democrats in office now have failed to meet the moment in every facet. They seem totally unprepared and seemingly unaware of the things Trump has been saying he'd do. And their responses have largely been letters. Sternly worded. This is an abject failure of leadership.

Actually, it's an utter lack of any semblance of leadership. The party needs to be blown up and rebuilt, just as the MAGA movement has reshaped the GOP. It needs to represent the people it serves, as right now it is only serving the entrenched old guard who do their monied masters bidding.

Can't keep doing the same & expect different results. Instead of independents & progressives voting. Repubs will & DEMS will loose again. GOT TO FAFO those Indep & prog to scare the sh*t out of them to vote. Or a lifetime of this.

If the 1% keep people from making common cause w/ law-abiding& effective @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, Rep Pressley, AOC, Rev Barber & Gov Walz, ppl may identify w/ law-breaking Luigi Mangiones of the world. @democrats.org’s base want life found in 🌍’s rich democracies.

Not as long as their rich donors are calling the shots! EAT THE RICH!

Look at the two pictured there to see why.

Only ones to blame will be themselves!!! Cause you sbandrd the centre working class and independents

@politico Who died and elected you leader and spokesperson? Might I suggest getting out of the office more and out in the streets. I’d be questioning my sources myself.

They have to provide a reason for people to vote for them

As a lifelong Democrat who has contributed and campaigned for dozens of candidates over the years, I will not support any Dems unless they re-identify as Democratic Socialists or some label that makes it clear they want a revolutionary change n America. I expect I won’t be voicing much…

This is all insanity. Just stop the nonstop horserace bullshit. We are exhausted and concerned about the survival of democracy. Calling it as if it were a game is not helping anyone. And you are diminishing the value of Politico as a news source.

I will NOT happen. Lazy , passive and weak democrats, they think voters tired of Trump will magically give them power. That’s why republicans will win again. And this is, one more time, on democrats.

Capitalism got you down? Kowtowing to powerful lobbies not working? Is that what's bothering you boobie?
