Gillibrand went on a 2-day streak of bullshit and was never shut down. Eric Adams is a front line issue for the national election. ICE is operating in New York. Don’t give me the protocol BS. When you’re the minority party and you have a young candidate making headlines, the DNC should step up
Eric Adams is literally having NYPD film a REALITY TV SHOW centering NYPDs illegal collaboration with ICE and DHS.
She’s an idiot. But it’s not *Ken Martin’s* job in any way shape or for to tell her that. I’m sorry you don’t understand people’s roles. Go yell directly at her since she’s the DSCC Chair. (Oh and people already did that.) Martin has been doing a great job funneling money and resources.
It's funny, its never democrats fault, there's always some random committee to blame(it probably was the DDLC one this time- or was that a literary club? Maybe I'm thinking of DLSS?), and nothing ever gets done. Only excuses, while democrats keep spouting outright racist lies and ignore republicans
We need a 50 state strategy and he’s on it. The Hogg stuff is such a stupid distraction I can’t believe so many people are caught up in it. Let him go do his things. If he wants to pay himself a crap ton of money to primary Dems vs try to beat the GOP, that’s fine. Go with grace, bro, do your thing.
Okay. Serious question here because I sincerely want some insight. Do you work with the DNC? Are you seeing something that I’m not? I’m seeing Dems with no unified mission or call to action. I’m seeing the same email and text campaigns from 8 years ago. What is happening that’s different?
Last thing I’ll say and then I’ll shut up myself—I completely agree about the texts and emails. They suck and are actively turning people off. They are from the consultant class and PACs (like Hogg’s!), not “The Democrats” (for the most part, exceptions excepted). People should stop giving to those!
Look, we’re democrats. We’re not like Republicans, who just vote for whoever Trump says to vote for like sheep. We demand more from our leaders. I’m not going to stop asking democrats to fight. You need voters to be angry and you also need them to be excited to vote. Right now, it’s just anger.
Do you have any idea what's going on in the Senate right now?
Signs point to “no.”
Lmao no I think you should fix your algorithm so you see more. I’m tired of people who don’t know how these groups work together and what there roles are and who reflexively blame Democrats for EVERYTHING after having helped tie their hands. It’s counterproductive and only serves to make people /1
their roles Ugh
Who are even *less* well informed mad and upset when they don’t know much about things. This is self-perpetuating and then Democrats lose more because the voting public is mad. They need to be mad at themselves for putting us here. I advocate to my elected Dems ALL the time. I tell them when /2
I don’t like what they are doing or voting on. What I don’t do is come on BlueSky and rage impotently at them about everything, including things that are irrelevant to their job or particular role I elected them for. /x
Oh, okay. So I should just shut up, right?
Nope. But if that’s how you want to take what I explained, I can’t make you see what I’m saying.
I should “fix my algorithm.” Wow.
Do you follow all of the electeds? Because they are telling you daily what they are doing to fight back. Follow @ariellaelm.bsky.social for a daily digest. Do you not agree social media allows us to silo ourselves? We’re all impacted by that. 🤷🏻♀️
Anyway, here’s one way to help your feed. Pin it: bsky.app/profile/did:...
She got enough shit over that the last few days to release a notice that she'd "misspoken" about Mamdani. Complete bullshit, but she'll think twice before she does it again.
“Any dem who goes on TV to spew about Zohran is getting primaried. If you have concerns, call him and talk. Stop tweeting and shut the fuck up.” <- letter that Ken Martin should have sent the day after the election
lol i love that someone was hating on you for not knowing that ACKSHULLY there are like six different democratic party organizers and they're all equally stupid
Absolutely.💯
Nah, that tweet by her comms director the next day isn’t enough. I don’t think she’s going to think twice unless New Yorkers make her.
Considering how popular Mamdani is, and how badly Cuomo shat the bed on Tuesday, I think New Yorkers (not just Manhattan, but the STATE) might just make her, or vote her out. The "Oh, fuck NO!" is audible all the way out here in western Washington.
I live in NYC, I’ve called her office 3 days in a row saying her bigotry was unacceptable and she should resign. Today I primarily called about the budget bill, and added the ‘please resign’ bit at the end to round out the call. Most of her support is upstate conservative Dems, I’ve never liked her.
She'd gladly do it again today, if she's told to do it by her pro Israel donors.
