Weird thing for nobody to take the political opportunity to publicly address something that is blatantly illegal

Do you think a sitting Senator couldn't gather a few federal agents for something like that? Don't play games

You get a crew of federal agents and a person who wants to vote. You show up and tell them to get the fuck out of the way. Anything less is unacceptable

Expect that from them and show up with federal authorities who supersede them

Remember when the GOP freaked out about Biden forgiving student loans calling it a bribe for vote. Lol, good times

Verbal tricks, lol. Btw, I'm working on getting Blake Gendebien elected in NY-21. I'm a Leftist and he's very much a centrist. My girlfriend is running for County Legislature as a Dem. Thats on the ground work. What are you doing besides mouthing off on the internet?

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I never said they couldn't all be Leftists. But I also didn't take one subgroup from one city and paint all Leftists with that brush. Should I start cherry picking centrists showing they voting against the party or doing racist things? Because its really easy to do.

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Wtf does the anger among Arab Americans in one city have to do with Leftists around the country? You're making an entirely different argument than I am. Its weird that you would assume that they're all Leftists just because they're Arab.

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Neither of those things happened. Centrists just love blaming the Left for their own failures despite any and all evidence. I'm a Lefty and I voted for Harris. All my Lefty friends did as well. Imagine if you worked towards getting people to vote instead of shitting on people....

She offered no reason why she disagreed with it. She just mocked. Also the word "basically" before the quote shows that I'm paraphrasing. She does regularly says the info is out there rather than giving the info (including in this thread). That is the saying the same thing as "do your own research"

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
She loves to condescendingly berate people because they don't spend all their waking hours researching like she does. Then when you ask.her to post an article to explain her points she basically says "do your own research" then mocks the person for not already knowing everything she does

Every time someone is openly racist I'm going to start asking why they are so insecure. You can't be racist and secure about yourself at the same time. If they want to play the culture war game then lets call it for what it is, just a bunch of insecure people who need something to lash out against

I hope he's alright. He posted some gems as well as some great stories from the road

I also would like to know this

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Hey, after pushing pack over several posts you're real quiet about the question "what has Jeffries done that the #2, #3 or #4 Dem in line could or wouldn't have done?" Here's an article showing that others are seeing the same. Maybe the internet is different than the rest of the in-person world
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Also, he shits on progressives even when its in his own interest to support them (see Zohran Mamdani). I'm a progressive. Thats a perfectly good reason for me to not like him. Him not rallying public support is political malpractice. Sorry you dont like my opinion, yours can be different, thats fine
001
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I think he has done a poor job and that is my OPINION. I see a country in like 6 different crises and I'm supposed to be proud that he's providing a bandaid. How do I know he's doing better than the next Dem in line? What makes you think he's doing a better job than anyone else could?
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I haven't seen a fucking thing happen that couldn't have been done by the #2, #3, #4, or #5 Dem in line couldn't do. I don't even think he's been good at stopping the bleeding of just about anything. Your list of accomplishments of his is mostly meetings he attended which any Dem could and would do
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
MY OPINION is that Jeffries is committing political malpractice by not getting his message out in a way that average people can receive it. Sorry if you can't grasp that. I've said it multiple times. If feeling didn't matter, Trump wouldn't be president. Thats how politics works like it or not
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
I didn't say he was ineffective. I said people don't see it. They don't feel like he and the Dems are doing anything. That makes people think "why bother to vote". I've told you twice now thats what people have said while I've been canvassing. I'm sorry you're mad about how people feel
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
They can see by posting those clips in places beyond C-Span. And for the fourth time in this thread, St Lawrence County. Potsdam if you want to be specific. Within NY-21. I'm hearing people say i wish the Dems were doing something to stop Trump. Jeffries is but nobody knows or feels it.
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
And no, people don't want to be lied to, obviously. They do want to SEE that their elected officials are doing something. If people don't feel their reps are doing anything then they don't bother to vote even if that means a worse person is elected. They don't see the point. We need those votes
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
That is unfortunately a larger part of the electorate that we'd like to admit. I've already said the people of St Lawrence County, NY. Its where I live, its where my girlfriend is running for County Legislature, it's in NY-21, and all of it has a chance to flip blue this year. People want leadership
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Who logs into a politicians YouTube for their daily briefing? No wonder Dems keep losing. Heaven forbid they go to the voter in more than one outlet. Maybe try places where people would actually see it. Maybe share those clips with non-political people to spread them further. This isn't that hard
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Dems tell people the info is out there just go find it. GOP says here's the information I want you to hear. GOP then gets a majority because people believe things and don't have time and energy to research. You can be correct or you can win votes.
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Cool. I'm just telling you what people are telling me as I canvass for my girlfriend's County Legislature run and Blake Gendebien's NY-21 House run. Go ahead and tell all those people they're dumb and need to do more research. Sorry if you don't like what the majority of people think and feel

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
The politicians who are asking for my vote, funding, and support.... thats who.
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
If people don't know what good the leaders are doing then they have no real reason to support those leaders because it LOOKS like they're doing nothing. Everyone has shit to do just like you which is why nobody is going to research for what Jeffries has accomplished. Thats literally my entire point
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
That attitude is why Dems lost to Trump twice. I clearly am doing the work as I listed in the last post. I'm not sure why you think I'm not willing when I just said what I'm actively doing. Do you want to win votes or do you just want to feel superior on Bluesky?
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Already read through it. It is good. If you have to say effectively "do your own research" to voters then don't be mad when you get poorly informed voters who don't bother to diver deeper. Politics is an emotional game, not a factual one. Dems want to SEE a leader without needing to research for it
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
And I'm not just giving my feelings here. I'm telling you what people are telling me when I am literally going to their house, having an in person conversation, and asking for their vote. They ask where the Dems are and what have they done. "Do your own research" is a terrible answer
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I met with Blake Gendebien who is the Dem running for NY-21 on Monday. My girlfriend is running for County Legislature in St Lawrence County, NY. I have been canvassing for both. We have an event planed for October 10th to encourage people to vote.
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
If I can't name a thing the Leader of the Dems has done without researching it then that is a political media failure of their own making.
100
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Thinking a presser on legacy media is getting the message out is naive. Not wanting to do the work because its hard to go against Fascists and the media arm they have built is just shit. Not being willing to try new avenues is why Dems lost for so many years to the GOP
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Politics is not about people "finding the message". Politics is about giving the message to your base on a silver platter so they will vote and give support. Just giving a presser was fine in the 90's, its not anymore. The GOP figured that out years ago and idk why the fuck Dems can't learn that
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Considering how many Democrats genuinely believe he is doing nothing, he's probably not getting the message out. Its not like this is a new criticism of him. You see them as wins whereas many people just see it as losing slower. Where is the narrative pushback?

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
While thay may be completely true, his lack of public-facing leadership is political malpractice.

Mitch McConnell is doing more while we don't even know if he's dead or alive than Jeffries is currently doing

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
So this article just said that Jeffries met with the Texas State reps who fled during the redistricting fight and he did some fundraising for Ohio. I really hope there is more somewhere because it makes me feel even more that Jeffries isn't actually doing anything material

Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Thank you. Its really not hard to post an article to give your posts context. It certainly works better than berating people for not knowing all the details like you do. We follow you because we respect the work you do. Mocking us for not knowing pieces is just mean and unhelpful
190
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Thats great for Johnson but nowhere in that explanation did you say what Jeffries actually did. For all I know Johnsons plans may have fallen apart due to other Trump moves clashing with each other. We don't know the details and context like you do. Mocking us for it doesn't help learn those details
140
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
No, you said a bunch of out of context words What did he do to facilitate Epstein... IDK What did he do to win redistricting... IDK How did he prevent all non-reconciliation policy And fundraising... I still don't fucking know because you won't just say it. We aren't full time reporters here
000
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
So how was McConnell able to Pants the Senate over and over from the minority? That's Johnson, what does he have to do with the job that Jeffries is doing?
210
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
So then be a writer and make an article for us that explains these things. For all you complain about how uninformed we all are about all these things its weird that you won't just write an article that you could paste here for us to read and learn. It would be more effective than complaining at us
110
Brandon Snell @dropbetweendimes.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Weird how you can't name what good things Jeffries has done in the last 2 years. Saying the equivalent of "do your own research" is a MAGA level amd style of non-answer. We as your followers want to be informed yet all you do is shit on people for not knowing every detail of every political event

I'm a voter, I don't trust Jeffries, and I don't know who the fuck Solender is so what does he have to do with me not trusting Jeffries? Last time I checked it hated Jeffries for his ineptitude and his meeting with Kushner. Maybe people hate Jeffries for more reasons than articles about him?

Genuine question: how can we as normal people inflict damage on media companies? Just cutting the subscription on an individual basis isn't doing anything. How can the people let the media know we're pissed at their failures?

St Lawrence County in NY may have its County board flip blue. The area was Trump +25. The whole of Northern NY NY-21 may go blue this cycle
