A real leader.

He wants to run for IL Governor or President or IL Senator. As a Democrat if he really believes the GOP is over. KINZINGER 2028

Did you run for office, win, and not know it?

Thank you Kinzinger! 💪🏼

Primary Dick Durbin, please. That would square the circle.

Because he has a BIG set of kahunas that apparently the democrats don't!!!!

Because he has gonads.

We know why. The Dem plan is to let Trump break everything and make life miserable, thinking the political pendulum will swing back to the left. Thing is, if the clock is irreparably broken, it’s over.

It's true. It's baffling. Where is the leadership!!!?

More democrats need a ‘cojones’ transplant! He’s putting people in both parties to shame!

You have integrity, honor, and courage. The #DemocraticCongress does not

This is why approval is low.

Good point. As someone who has become a democrat, I am disappointed with the party thus far. Allowing trump to do what he wants is unacceptable.

Because Adam Kinzinger is out of office and can say whatever he wants, like the rest of us. If you have something to say, say it. Our elected officials operate in the climate of opinion WE create.

I’m not wondering….im absolutely gobsmacked that the Democrats are such f@?king pussies right now. I mean your country is falling apart

Me too.

Or, he is not in office BECAUSE he is speaking out.

Bingo! 🎯 Adam and Liz risked a lot more by speaking out against Trump than any Democrat - including their jobs

He's not in office BECAUSE he spoke out while IN office. Timeline matters...

Exactly.

Fear of $ loss the Turncoat 10 Censure plus 10 Senate Turncoats gotta go! 27% approval! Cut them all out!

Love you adam,, but cmon. You have nothing to lose. They have lobbyist funds, "election contributions", donations, upper echelon health care, retirement plans and, of course, they'd have to go and find real work.

I saw that democrats have agreed on "extreme civility" as their m.o. for handling this "insurrection by billionaire". Can you call the appropriate person and inform them that we will require corresponding ATTIRE? White powdered wigs, waist coats with tails, the Seinfeld "puffy shirt. AND TIGHTS? TY.

No reprisals?

Exactly my response! @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov These ostriches are what’s causing the Democrats to have 20% approval rating. All the DNC does is send out texts (which I blocked) acting like they are from Kamala’s husband or ?? asking for money. They need to DO SOMETHING!

Yep, and this moderate/centrist Dem has been a fan since before J6.

Because Congress isn't where we should be spending attention and energy right now. It's the courts, esp. voting rights.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, we must be clear.

*time for him to team up with democrats and fight for citizens .. all humans in the US cause I can't afford to move to a different country.

has more free time?

They’re afraid.

I have said the number of Democrats I actually see fighting could fit in a small conference room. When really it should be every elected politician and (many non elected I am looking at you Obama and Clinton).

Probably because you're not a pussy. Thank you

Because you have integrity and care about the country 🤷🏻‍♀️

Run for Senate and replace those assholes that voted for the CR.

Fucking demoralizing as a Dem I tell ya

Its the reason you get my respect. At least you are not cowering down like the yellow bellies.

He’s a hero.

I’ve been a Democrat forever. I believed that only D’s could govern well. Now I wonder how we got so timid—or maybe it’s just that elected D’s fear losing their status more than they care about our issues.

💙💙💙

Is it weird that I’m a lifelong Democrat considering becoming a Kinzinger Republican? So completely exasperated with my party!

Because he is not owned by billionaires.

I reached out to my local Democratic Party to see what they are planning. Any protests, voter drives, etc… They are planning NOTHING. So I’m creating my own local protest group. Because demonstrations should not be only in big cities.

Also because the establishment democraps are suppressing AOC, Crockett, and Bernie as they have for years.

Also, not likely to be primaried.

it's not Republicans vs Democrats or Conservatives vs Liberals; it's right vs wrong, good vs evil. I saw evil on J6 and so did Adam and Liz. I'll never forget it.

YES WHERE ARE THEY

amen, brother

Are you reaching out to elected dems and asking them directly and also asking how you can help them? I get that they are not doing enough, but this is all unprecedented and awful, and they are still in office and have the duties that come with that.

Love your fighting attitude. Maybe you should run in Texas. Perhaps a quixotic quest, but you’d almost make me want to move back to vote for you. Almost. 😎

I was naive for a long time, believing we had competent leadership. That I didn't need to use my voice. My rallying cry now is FATSO! Thank you for showing up every day and standing up to the bullies. Thank you for helping me find my courage and my voice.

Cowardice is all the rage these days!

Thank you for speaking up!

You should go visit red districts! I think people would be very receptive to both speaking with you and hearing what you have to say. And you have a little bit of star power even though you're not in Congress anymore. You're military so vets will be interested and you seem very normal.

Good question.

Great question. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov get out there and fight gawd damn it!

Why did Kinzinger vote against enshrining the right to vote for American citizens?

Translation: they're not afraid of their voters because their voters keep reelecting them

What SAMURAI said.

Cowardice.

Change your party and take lead.

You should start doing Town Halls! Begin in Alabama. That’s what we need right now. I thought Doug Jones, but you would be awesome. Maybe both!

And 100% of his kneebender party

Or brains

God what a bunch of pussies! I've gotten behind alot of young progressives - and Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. And I'm a former republican. They're not afraid of 47s minions or being blamed for the GOP's shenanigans when they go sideways. What's up with these other pussies?

They have moved him from his office., he is strictly on his own 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

They know that Musk has the keys to the vote and if they don’t placate Trump their career is over. I’d be done with it myself.

Well you and Liz being the exception but most politicians Dem and GOP don't get any freaking courage until after they leave office. They are too afraid to lose an election so they play down the middle of the road. In reality that is the most dangerous place to be.

Perhaps because he has a soul

they’re ALL comatose

Slackers

Has Kinzinger changed parties?

What are you doing to fix your party? If you want to make a difference, switch your party affiliation to Democrat and get on board. We need leaders more than we need cheerleaders at this point.

Yep, also wondering about this.

We all want to know

Quiet Dems are bought n sold

We all are.

I hope @adamkinzinger.bsky.social runs for office again, as an Independent or Dem. Assuming we have future elections

You have the advantage of no longer being in elected office. They have the disadvantage of being cowards, with a few exceptions.

Redemption to America 😀

He’s not waiting and neither should we!

Word

Trump has no ideology. He is a puppet of a puppet.

He IS a Republican, although he's principled. Liz Cheney voted with Chump just as much. This time around is VERY different.

not true dude

I really respect and admire you Adam but that simply is not true.

Anti-Trump soldiers are braver and have stronger ethics. Explains it. Pls stay in your party and convince the non-soldiers they need to politically fight for Democracy. Else leave their kids a ruined country.

Perhaps because he's not in office right now. And because he's a re-blooded American man who served our country with dignity and just can't tolerate this bs.👍👏

they are lazy and not fighters. Have enough money. Need a big change

Nope.

Seriously 🤷🏻‍♀️

We are ALL wondering this.

Me too!

They are gutless wonders except a few of the women .

Since the MAGAts and Trump are just going to harass you anyway, please return to public office…

Because most democrats have turned into cowards!

As are we in Canada. There is something intrinsically wrong with the current DNC leadership. The fervor is out there just salivating for leadership in the drive to oppose the lawlessness of the current administration.

Absolutely!

Because no one has offered a price to you that you can agree to sell yourself. That is a good thing, BTW. As an example, I always say I won't steal $1m. It isn't worth it. But $10B, I'll consider it. The problem today is that people sell their dignity for peanuts.

Democrats who are inert are relying on polling which they believe shows that the preservation of democracy as an issue does not get the party votes from those who support Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/o...

Because we need him to continue to be the leader he is!!!

He doesn’t have to worry anymore about losing his job

I’m certain that if you ran as a Democrat against Mary Miller, you’d smoke her.

So am I wondering this! Have they all been promised one of yarvin’s fictitious patchwork communes??? If they are being threatened they should all tell us all!!

So am I. Do watch Jon Stewart roast and toast Schumer and other Democrats, it’s so right on. youtu.be/W8OFrDQkfjM?...

Uh. Hello. Have you looked at the clock? It's after 8pm EDT. Matlock reruns ended and it's bedtime.

At what point do you and others discard the old parties and form the league of super friends?

You are everything a man, and an elected official, is supposed to be. Thank you for fighting the Orange scourge so tirelessly, and putting Shitter-pants in his place. I am so proud of your courage, just wish we heard more loud voices like yours, instead of deafening SILENCE by most Democrats.

Because they are also owned

yes and thank you!

Fear?
