I think you’re viewing that support as too linear. It’s not as simple as left and right. DSA pushes populist policies that the establishment does not.
You know a shitlib when you see one- an incessant need to defend the Democratic Party to the point of insult. Republicans suck, Democrats need to grow a spine. FDR weeps WE deserve leaders who value the average workers’ opinion over Wall Street.

This is insane and hilarious
I also have no sympathy. But a solution to our vast problems doesn't include sitting around blaming them for exercising the right promised to every citizen whether we agree with it or not.
Retribution is a terrible strategy for any political party. They are gullible but they are still our neighbors
Commies, DemSocs, Liberals - anyone who lives on a paycheck has a stake against oligarchs destroying our political system. Class consciousness bb do you have it
🍻 Happy Labor Day Weekend 🍻 Know your worth ✊
I do! Which is why I’m enjoying it as well. Share a beer with another worker today ☺️
Hey Kirk, happy Labor weekend.
It’s called walking and chewing gum. Something Schumer can’t do. Thanks for putting words in my mouth, again.
Yikes Have a nice Saturday!
We all have access to reputable resources to research to long history of the Levant. Thanks! No amount of whatabouting will change the fact that the state of Israel publicly funnels millions of dollars into our politicians to buy their influence and it’s completely reasonable to be against that ☺️
Folks don’t appreciate a foreign government pushing their money and influence onto our politicians. Thanks for trying to obfuscate tho
Harris
Dems have had multiple trifectas since then and haven’t fixed this core problem with our political system Padding reelections with bills they know will fail doesn’t move the needle I didn’t say both sides. I said Schumer accepts Republican donor money and shouldn’t be in charge of our opposition
I voted for both Clinton and Harris in the face of Trump despite my disagreements. It’s not nitpicking to have a preference of a candidate that isn’t a shit sandwich. I don’t blame voters for the faults of our leaders. To what end does that lead besides driving folks away and being bitter?
Ask the AI what percentage of the Democrat electorate supports ending weapon supplies to Israel
Open up a history bb and see how the robber barons disappeared and compare it to the platform pushed by the neoliberal establishment, the difference should become clear. I can only hold your hand so much as you continue to tell folks “we can’t do that” when history tells us different.
Pointing to a forced dichotomy decision that only earned a fraction of the population of support as proof that folks want a fascist gov and throwing your hands up to go “oh well” is the opposite of leadership. It’s surrender. The exact form of representation you and BlueAnon argue for - useless.
The only people who think protecting and representing constituents in your district or states is a “superpower” have never picked up a history book. Have a nice night!
I’m one voter, of course I can’t give them those things. There are historical methods to leverage oligarchs that Democratic leaders ignore because it hurts the profits of the same oligarchs who donate to our leadership. No useless procedure theater needed.
I’m not asking them to gain a superpower, I’m asking them to protect their constituents from tyranny. I’m asking them to accurately represent the frustrations of the people that are the basis of their power. You are represented even when your favorite Presidential candidate loses, ya know.
This argument is used to block Democratic action ad nauseam It's time to stop playing by a rulebook that the other side does not follow. We have vast disagreements about the direction of our party. You are full of "you can't do that's"...that's not a country I want to live in. Have a nice night!
It's not about appealing to Republicans who have not intent on operating in good faith no matter the circumstances It's about showing the American people and their own voters, that they care about opposing a fascist with actions of consequence, not speeches in allotted time given to them by the GOP
This is a cop out answer and not how representation works. I am advocating for them to protect their constituents from the tyranny of the federal gov by the historical, peaceful means it's been performed. It's not one weird trick, it's being proactive instead of sitting back and padding a reelection
Regular business in the Senate runs through unanimous consent as opposed to historic procedure because Senators want it to move quickly without debate. It's a cop out.
I guess we wont engage in historical methods to leverage oligarchs and allow our democracy to irreparably destroyed by said oligarchs because...folks who voted for them dont care? Give me a break. The Ds needs to stand for something more than keeping their head down while the executive usurps power
Boycotting R donor products Party endorsed protest Showing up to R events And I'm not even in leadership!
Your favorite constituents, rich folks.
Bitch baby
Yes that additional degree of separation should add to the concern and urgency of replacing one of our leaders against fascism.
And most recently, is showing the world that he has nothing new to resist the executive usurping power from the other branches of government m. I won’t be optimistic about a “leader” who regularly shows us where his priorities lie and his speeches continue to get worse
Here’s the thing Even if this is a very slight move in the right direction, the politician that is Chuck Schumer makes that moot He’s bought by Wall St He clings to decorum to a detriment He wont push the envelope to help working people He protects bought incumbents He’s a spineless neoliberal
He invokes unanimous consent regularly. Of course you don’t know because there hasn’t been a crisis worth exiting the procedures of the Capitol to leverage oligarchs and tyrants since last century. Folks like Schumer are too constrained by their donors to do anything out of the ordinary - boycotts
Me when I make shit up I voted for Harris. Yes, I speak out against the party. I would never wish that on her. Grow up
It’s not voter depression to ask for better representation from folks doing nothing out of the ordinary to combat a fascist.
Endorse protests and boycotts against R donors. Show up to R events and call out hypocrisy. Rally around a new Democratic platform that helps shed their out-of-touch image, including literal rallies.
There were no false claims. The public contract was clear about the conditions.
Retire
The courts care? Lol It’s our leaders job to present policy and a platform to give voters something to care about. I don’t insist on nihilism. I insist on being proactive and eradicating useless neoliberals from our party leadership so we can actually have a center-left party.
(The majority of which, are wealthy Republicans looking to hoard more wealth)
It’s as meaningful as the letters he writes. It puts words into a record. Who cares about the record? Not Trump Our standards shouldn’t be so low for folks who are supposed to be leading the charge against fascism, particularly when these same leaders are accepting $$$ and influence from Wall St
He’s literally been posting empty threats and meaningless platitudes since Trump got elected. This isn’t doing anything. Nothing of consequence will come from him shouting TRUMP BAD and posting. He needs to stop invoking unanimous consent and start using resources outside Capitol procedure
Is there a plan for a national R donor boycott at the end of that walk?
And using your voice in a democracy makes someone a bad person? Lots of folks on Bluesky need an update Before the primaries is the time to right the ship. Posting empty platitudes about Trump is not a platform.
My representatives and Senators are all D’s They are my lever of representation. They suck at resisting an authoritarian. The head sticks from the top of the Wall St funded leadership. You can’t fight fascism when your opposition is funded by the fascists.
BTW I don’t care if party bootlickers like my handle. The Democratic Party is the default other party and they are dropping the ball against a fascist, I like leaders with spines. Folks who can’t reflect often don’t like a mirror being held up to their face
We’ve been on the slope for a while.
No lol
Which Senate seat will he be running for
These folks have been extremely clear from the onset that they want to destroy American democracy and any basis of truth outside of their narrow view of the world. There are no fucking mistakes about them destroying everything that ACTUALLY makes us great. Get the fuck out of the way Schumer
It’s actually so fucking insulting for him to call this a “mistake” He’s not paying attention at all
Ritchie Torres is one of the loudest supporters of Israel’s far right government in the Democratic caucus.
We can barely handle 1 dimension
That’s why I voted for her despite disagreements. I would prefer not to have as hard of pill to swallow 🤷
I thought she would have been even more constrained by neoliberal leadership since that’s who essentially put the nail in the coffin for Joe and gave her the golden goose but up for interpretation
Ok, never run a woman again, you figured it out /s Couldn’t have possibly been running around with a Cheney and copying Trump’s immigration policies. Misogyny exists in Trump’s electorate but that’s not the entire explanation.
I don’t reduce candidates to their demographic info, but misogyny does exist in Trump’s electorate, yes.
He’s not that far from the middle 😂
You've done nothing but argue with a person made up in your head.
You have to subscribe to my MAGAMemes account for that content. Learn how to take criticism 💋 goodnight!
I voted for Harris and Clinton. Take your strawmen elsewhere.
Who's talking about not voting? I'm encouraging the primarying of safe blue seats full of corporate do-nothings. You swat away valid criticism of the obvious class problems in our leadership, so you certainly don't act like it. We all are doing better by having this discourse. Have a nice night!
I typically do, and I work to dispel that influence in the party in the meantime.
An unwillingness to change that system is also the problem. I’m glad you’re catching on.
Yes the wealthy folks who are in charge of those orgs favor policy that gives them more wealth. Republican Your arbitrary standard is meaningless. Get some class consciousness buddy
Leaders who are willing to accept the influence of donors that do not have the best interest of the American people do not deserve to be in their position.
Organizations such as: BlackStone LockheedMartin Citi UnitedHealth SpaceX Bain Capital AIPAC BlackRock Cigna Wells Fargo GoldmanSachs I can go on
OpenSecrets is free Search big bank/insurance company/weapons manufacturer/investment firms donor profiles and check out their contributions. More often than not, these Wall St institutions are lining the pockets of both Congressional campaign funds among individual candidates.
I guess their sub 20% approval comes out of thin air. “Random” lol it ain’t random that Schumer and Jeffries are funded by Republican donors “Divisive” lol the folks who are taking money from Republicans and allowing themselves to be bought are the ones causing division.
Bot aint wrong
A bit of A A bit of B A solution involves detaching ourselves from corporate cronyism and making civic duty important to folks again.
Who is stabbing themselves in the stomach? The establishment folks with their head in the sand about the changes needed in this party to combat fascism definitely holding a few knives in their belly
When will you be retiring
Democrats won most special elections leading up to 24 Don’t get complacent. Hold everyone’s feet to the fire. We deserve better representation than corporate do-nothing Democrats to fight against fascists.
@ritchietorres.bsky.social eat paint
@ritchietorres.bsky.social is reprehensible
Love that for them
Ah yes, the folks pushing a Muslim as a candidate are racist lol
At no point in our interaction was race even mentioned. Grow up
I don’t think you are the noise level decider
Sorry you didn’t scroll and just want to screech. Have a nice Thursday!
I guess you missed my post where I addressed the victims I grew up with mass shootings. Watching politicians hide behind them to escape their own ineptitude is more appalling to me than however you think I insulted his social media intern by ignoring empty condolences that Jeffries didnt even write
Politicians are complete jerks using tragedies as political shields
Dude, you are completely off the mark. Tired of this party not working for the average American. You deflecting is also part of the problem. Anti-democratic implies I don’t want you to vote 😂 I want you stop voting for imbeciles who work for Wall St 😘
Good thing this is just a social media account and doesn’t reflect the work I do irl against Republicans.
❌
Hey that’s a great chart for folks who don’t know how representation works. You can simultaneously push for a better party while working against Republicans. Only direction we have is to move forward, and I don’t want to do it with corporate do nothings, something your chart can’t illustrate.
Debate club will do that to a person 😅 Thanks!
