Dem leadership needs to start accepting the reality of where we are at. Dem voters do not support the status quo. We do not want business as usual. We need to get money out of politics and candidates who will work directly for the people, not through lobbyists.

The topline from Abdul El-Sayed’s win is that his platform for change still managed to win despite grotesque levels of outside campaign spending and a racist smear campaign to paint him as un-American. The grassroots desire to upset the status quo is that powerful.

If it was a Dem, Trump would be calling for a public execution.

Middle Age Riot@middleageriot.bsky.social · 2h ago

Donald Trump told reporters he feels "badly" for Max Miller, a Republican congressman accused of abusing his wife, and hopes Miller can "work it out." The only thing less surprising than a Republican politician abusing his wife is Donald Trump empathizing with the abuser.

It's a tough thing trying to undo 75 years of propaganda that equated socialism and communism, but it has to be done.

Republicans call Democrats communists the way toddlers call every vegetable broccoli.

Interesting. If you're politics agree with Mike's, you can be a pedophile and given a pass for being 'flawed,' but if you're a Dem and you get a parking ticket you're a communist traitor who belongs in jail.

Every time they open their mouths, I swear to god, it’s a confession of how pitiful they are. They are so hopelessly addicted to the sycophantic lie machine that everyone else HAS to be using it too. “Checkmate!” they scream as they slowly turn to reveal their soiled trousers

We are only in prison if we allow ourselves to be. We have the power to be free, but we must act and not simply watch our destruction.

Money out of politics. These are the words I long to hear from all Democrats. Congratulations on becoming the Dem nominee for U.S. Senate.

Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · 5h ago

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

Why are we allowing this to happen?

Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social · 10h ago

This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.

Laws are worth nothing if they can't be enforced. When you own Congress, SCOTUS, the DOJ, the FBI and the media, who is going to enforce laws against you? Ain't gonna happen. The enforcement is up to us, the American people.

Hey Donnie

I'm one of those people who relies on Medicare. If you think this doesn't affect you, you're wrong. It affects everyone. Civilized citizens in a democracy understand that when the government attacks one group of people, it is attacking all people.

Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 23h ago

Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

I don't expect miracles from Dems, but I do support all Dems who pledge to get money out of politics. This is the most important thing they can do.

elfunrokr@elfunrokr.bsky.social · 2d ago

There shouldn’t even be a question about this. If politicians are dying their power to personally benefit and become wealthy off the American people, then they have no place running out government!

We don't have kings. Presidents don't decide who gets to talk and who doesn't. Yet if people don't stand up to Trump, he wins.

Bill Fleisher@wlf369.bsky.social · 2d ago

Trump is the angry old man who tell the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn. The problem is that's not his lawn. It our lawn.

MASSIVE COVERUP: Major financial institutions paid hundreds of millions of dollars to resolve civil claims, while lawmakers and survivors continue challenging the administration’s handling of Epstein records. #TheCityBrief #Epstein

It's not a debate anymore. Republicans care nothing about the American people, only what Trump wants. They do not represent the interests of their constituents and the Constitution means nothing to them.

Tillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"

Republicans don't want Americans to be educated. They want us to be trained to do certain jobs and not question our lives or the government.

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · 23h ago

Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.

Americans are being looted, lied to, abused, attacked, arrested, demeaned, assaulted, divided and lied to some more.We are not citizens anymore, we are subjects.

Jason Tiedje@peaceendspoverty.bsky.social · yesterday

Please become aware that we have been enslaved. It's very simple. Our wages rose just 15% as prices rose 35%...that means you need a LINE of credit. Just like a halter, your LINE of credit is for LIFE. It's impossible to succeed.

Republicans: There's nothing we can do to rein in the President. Americans: How about voting with Dems? Republicans: There's nothing we can do to rein in the President.

Kevin@kevinsteinley.bsky.social · 24h ago

Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”

Democrats need to keep repeating this ...

Creating and attacking enemies is far easier than coming up with actual solutions. Trump always needs a scapegoat for his incompetence and ignorance.

ebisback.bsky.social@ebisback.bsky.social · yesterday

Truth 💥

The country with the most bombs and the biggest army doesn't always win. Vietnam and past wars in the Middle East should have shown us this, but Trump cares nothing about history, only what he wants. And we all suffer for it.

Cool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?

These are the creatures that consider themselves the Master Race, superior to all others simply because their skin is a lighter tone. Look at them. Criminals, pedophiles, abusers, liars, Nazis, ugly as the day is long inside and out.

This is what happens when you act on a whim, your gut or because someone told you to do something and not on intelligence, facts and America's best interests.

Doug Hammond@hammie777.bsky.social · 6d ago

Doesn't everyone know if you can't solve a problem, having a crazy person screaming and shouting at you to fix it makes you much smarter. Most of us grew out of this stage around middle school. Some of us never did.

Democrats must run on getting money out of politics. It's not just something nice, it's necessary or the corruption will continue and we will get another Trump in the future.

Scott Smith@canaansdad1987.bsky.social · 6d ago

This is the problem. The power is so enticing that Elon musk will buy seats in Congress and the White House to get more money. It's disgusting. We need serious election reform. #USDemocracy www.mediaite.com/media/news/e...

Politicians get to decide on their own healthcare, perks and salaries. The rest of us have to take what we're given. It is completely upside down.

France calls out the U.S. at a UN meeting: “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. Isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” U.S. representatives stormed out of the meeting. Well said France! 👏🏼🇫🇷👏🏼

Trump will do what he wants when he wants because we have lost all ability to stop him through normal systems. We can't prevent him from doing anything if he decides to do it. Americans who don't like this need to internalize it and act accordingly.
