Hear and fucking hear! Johns Stewart once exclaimed that Dems (it was during Obama) can't get something done they blame the Republicans, but when Republicans are in the same boat they can do whatever the fuck they want! He was beside himself with frustration.

THANK YOU for this! This is what I’ve been saying in my head for a month! They just need to make some noise, everywhere, as if it is an emergency. Because it is an emergency! They are so passive. Go talk to all the podcasters, send Pete everywhere. We need to know our leaders are THERE. That we aren’t alone and we’re not crazy to think that we are in the middle of a fight for our government.

Can you send your post to all the Democrats? Clearly they need some advice 😂

This is so perfect. It is so deliciously right. It made me feel like I was eating Ice Cream and Cake. I was so inspired I wrote to Hakeem and Chuck and included a link to this . I think everyone should send them this link till they get their heads out of their asses and start acting like leaders. Cheers and thanks for making my day Robyn

It really isn't too much to ask them all to make an effort. A few of them are putting the rest to shame.

Opposition politicians do not get a paid to rest up until they get a turn back in power. A large number of Democrat congresspeople need to wise up .... or they will not have a job after the next election. And they would not deserve one.

The history of the Dem party is a history of cooperation with the Repubs. They are in agreement. The political purpose of the Dems is to lead the working class, the paycheck slaves, the post-industrial peasants into a dead end and abandon them there, election after election. Thus the senator from the casino state plainly is demoralizing the Dems voters deliberately with the defeatist talk. Why don't you folks realize the Dem is a corpse, a zombie, a mummy only missing the linen wrap. ONLY A PARTY BUILT GROUND UP WILL WORK!

This guy is a political genius! Give us more brilliant insights! I know this man to be a leader in forging the tactical tools needed by the young of this country to challenge the ownership of the country for power.

You (Elected Dems) have a larger platform and a bigger microphone - use those tools to inform the public as to what is going on. In other words, "lead, follow, or get out of the way."

Any party that cowers before the might of the spoiled rich brat, our own golden calf of baal, is as dead as a piece of fried chicken and will never rise again. The Dem is a performative appendage to the Repubs as it goes through its dance routine crying "Ain't it a shame!"

That golden calf story has been in my thoughts often lately - it’s MAGA.

My senator is getting the same message today because it is not enough to embarrass trump, but his slaves as well. And they are slaves and they need to be reminded daily of this. All of his slaves need to be told they are slaves and kiss his smelly ass. My senators are Tillis and Budd. Who is yours? Tell them!! Our lives are at stake and they are killing us because they are afraid of him and his little MAGA army of Orc slaves.

UM if the arguably dumbest Senator tommy tuberville could hold up military promotions and if ted fucking cruz can hold up congress then guess what... so can the Dems.

Look the stuff they're holding up isn't going to be affecting people because most likely they're already fired.

"oh no we'll be seen to obstruct trumps agenda" good.

I hate writing these words but here they are: Study Newt Gingrich in the 80s through 94 and emulate his tactics and style.

Maybe it's time to change the symbol for the Democratic Party from a Missouri mule to some other animal. Any ideas?

I have a prediction with all these high level firings Trump is doing: In the not too distant future, he is going to call for the dissolution of the US Congress claiming he does not need anyone to tell him how to run the country. Upon hearing that the Republican Senators are going to line up outside the Oval Office and one at a time get down on their knees and kiss his flatulent smelly ass.

Yes, yes, we need big, loud, rallies with the anti- MAGA slogan "NOPE" Not our President Ever!!

I found my inner activist last week, and the biggest revelation (and scariest part) is how READY people are to fucking /do/ something. We want reassurance, and we want agency, and we are ready to get in the fight if someone takes that first step. Me? I'm an introvert bipolar boomer who is suddenly somehow a leader in this fight. Fucking congresspeople, jesus christ, you literally went out of your way to do this? Right? (insert Padme/Anakin meme)

I want them to implement chaos. Pour super glue on Mike Johnson's seat. Fill all the Republican congressasshole's door locks with epoxy. Release crickets into their offices. Adopt the most obnoxious features of Shoresy's character. Run with scissors.

Run with scissors...through the halls of Congress!

Schumer and Hakeem clearly illustrate the long-term DNC institutional failures and passivity that gave the country away to white nationalists and their fellow travelers. But these legislative creatures aren't entirely to blame, even McConnell didn't foresee that his machinations and obstructions would succeed so well in eliminating both the Judiciary and the Congress as Constitutional counterweights to a fascist coup.
