Paul L. @paul9876.bsky.social · 10/02/2025You gotta wonder how many of the Democrat old guard secretly applaud Trump's moves. 000

Taylor-Bridgett Wolfcastle Jones @serious-bichon.bsky.social · 10/02/2025We need to primary every-man-jack one of these mediocre empty suits and replace them with people from the service industry who actually know what struggle looks like 060
ajrajoun.bsky.social @ajrajoun.bsky.social · 10/02/2025The problem with Dems is the people they picked to lead them. They think they need to move to the right to win. So they empower Schumer, Craig and Fetterman instead of people who fight for us no matter which way the wind is blowing. 030
🎃 Marxism no Jutsu 🎃 @marxismnojutsu.bsky.social · 10/02/2025he wants us to believe that every single vote in the house is simple majority. 010

The Libertonian @thelibertonian.bsky.social · 10/02/2025What can they do that's actually within their remit? Like what specific action that they are able to do would you like them to? 110
PJ walker @pj1304.bsky.social · 10/02/2025How did the GOP stop so many bills when Obama had both houses? Dems are up against Thugs. Start talking about the ways the things they a pushing through are harming regular people. That's the message Dems need to put out. Start with CPFA gutting. USAID helps us. Tell how. Stop showboating. 0120
Vera Citas @veracitas.bsky.social · 10/02/2025The Rs resist just about everything, even with a Dem majority in the House and Senate and Biden in the WH, for 2 years. Now it's your turn to do the same. Or let someone else lead? 030

Who's A Grumpy Bear? @whosagrumpybear.bsky.social · 10/02/2025They are banking on there being something left after the bulldozer comes through unfettered, so that they can point to it and say "Look what they did! Now let us fix it." Problem is, that bulldozer has a very good chance of crushing all of them in the process while they stand idly by. 110
MJ (86-47) @mjinla.bsky.social · 10/02/2025AOC or Raskin should be speaker. But since they aren’t, I guess we need to flood Jeffries’ offices with calls to grow a ducking spine. 010

Kristine Now @kristineno.bsky.social · 10/02/2025His position is nuanced. I listened to him on John Stewart podcast. He’s saying they can’t do anything without 3 republicans and the republicans need to take responsibility for governing and not blame democrats when there’s no budget passed. 570
Lauren @lauren393.bsky.social · 11/02/2025We watch the Republicans rule with the minority and dems will be like we can't do anything with this super majority because of this Manchin type. What do you expect of us? 010
e4e5f4.bsky.social @e4e5f4.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Are you not old enough to remember when the Dems couldn't pass anything through the Senate because they only had 59 senators? 020

Monde99🌙 @monde99.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Because like 20% of those 49% keep voting for and helping the other side. Uniparty, anyway. Both parties need to ☠️ alongside AIPAC & CUFI and all corporate lobbyists. 000
Llyke Noega @llykenoega.bsky.social · 10/02/2025When we controlled the government it was all "we can't do anything we don't have a strong enough majority" and that's how we got here kids. 0140
Mike MacLeod @mmacleod.ca · 10/02/2025Plenty to complain about with the Dem response, but this is the one smart thing Jeffries is doing. The budget CR expires soon, and the GOP will almost certainly need Dem votes to avoid a shutdown. Jeffries is priming the media and public to pin any shutdown on the GOP, which maximizes his leverage. 120

D @sojuwarrior.bsky.social · 10/02/2025There is a special election on April 1 that (technically) could swing control of the House to the Dems and throw a major wrench into what Trump and Musk are doing. Jefferies: "There's nothing we can do!" 1110
Softbeans 🏳️⚧️ @softbeans.bsky.social · 10/02/2025We've said this was coming. Anyone who can read the room and could tell something like this was coming. Instead of being proactive and preventing this, they chose to be reactive and are playing catch up in a game they refuse to play... 010

compucrazy.bsky.social @compucrazy.bsky.social · 10/02/2025He still thinks it's time for "standard politics" and if they just blame Republicans they can win the next cycle. He somehow has no idea the Republican's end goal is for there never to be another fair election. 010

Mia Longfellow @miasmiared.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Jeffries is blind if they can't see the damage they've already done with that 50.3% "mandate." He needs to stop playing checkers and instead flip the table and throw sand in their eyes. If democracy dies, it'll be because Dems had shovels at the funeral as well. 010

Jillbles @jillbles.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I think I hate him. Such an obviously craven neoliberal, who, if we ever do get the government back on track (something that is NOT guaranteed, what with the COUP), will most assuredly do nothing that could be considered progressive and will focus entirely on wooing the imaginary center right. 010
slantedenchanted.bsky.social @slantedenchanted.bsky.social · 10/02/2025This is so dumb to critique. There is no leverage until shit hits the fan and Republicans want to defect to make meaningful concessions. Otherwise why own anything by helping out the Republicans, which is the only thing he could actively do now. Not like senate where more procedural nonsense to do 010

Daytripper1969 @rzod.bsky.social · 10/02/2025He sucks, but in some ways it’s important to make sure the GOP owns the seemingly inevitable shutdown. Dems should shutdown the government but in a way that seems passive 010

We just aren't ready to say it out loud, because then it becomes true. 010
