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. 🤷🏻♀️
You asked an honest question and I gave an honest answer.
I’m not an American (Aussie) but I would Vote Blue there every time. What you’ve just pointed out (& I’ve heard this about US Politics a lot) is that ‘The Left eat their own’..& I’m seeing it here. You’ve summed it up well I believe, their hands are tied b/c voters, who then whine, rinse & repeat 🙄
Anyway, here’s one way to help your feed. Pin it: bsky.app/profile/did:...
