We tried to show them after the last surrender. There's no sense in trying to convince them anymore. Primaries are the only path to a fighting opposition party now.

The last election, showed us we're not voting for a party, but for candidates who will fight for us, who will shut this shit down. The party was lucky the good candidates ran as Democrats. And honestly the party showed their corporate colors by refusing to endorse a popular Democratic socialist.

Unfortunately, probably true. Yet, I am not sure how long we can continue in the direction we're going. It's only been a year. What's another going to look like? I don't honestly want to know.

Cancel the next #NoKings protest for a #GrowSpines protest instead. We must continue to stand and fight Trump authoritarianism, but we must also show Democrats that our votes for them aren’t guaranteed if they aren’t willing to fight as long and as hard as we need them to

I quit. I’m tired of fighting only to have my party stick the knife in my back. Changing my party to independent, no more money or volunteering until there is big changes in the Democratic Party. All people need to stop donations to the democrats until there is big changes.

And not voting for them in General Elections. A vote for them is not a vote for a lesser evil. It is a vote for nothing but the evil the GOP promises plus some additional hardship. The Democratic Shutdown hurt people. It made sacrifices that were not honored by Democratic Senators.

What I hope we all remember here is that it wasn’t the Democrats who are doing this. It is a few senators & minority leader who can’t control his caucus. We can’t give up even if we lose. Our House members are firm & a majority of senators are firm. This just shows us who to primary asap.

It was senior Senators all carefully chosen not to be facing primaries in 2026. And all of them, plus way more, have cravenly rubber-stamped Trump’s monstrous nominees. They’re worse than Weimar—they’re Vichy now, as we always feared since Dick Cheney’s reign.

Primary every Senetor that defected. Primary every republican. The people see what is going on and don't like it. Trump has declared war on the American people. We must fight back.

Best way to campaign is to call House Dems. Ro Khanna is already on it but we need more. An upswell of House Dems calling for Schumer's removal would put a lot of pressure on the Senate

They carefully picked people not up for a primary next year or ever, to carry out this Vichy surrender. bsky.app/profile/maxk...

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Also I’m seeing on Reddit that while Shaheen isn’t running again, her daughter Stefany will be running for Congress to replace the guy running for her mother’s sear, and there is already talk of stopping her and making sure she loses her primary to the other Democrat in the race.

Durbin fell for false promises again? People will be forced to drop healthcare because they can't afford it and it won't even be addressed it until the second week of December, then of course they will go on holiday break and the sign up period is now. Money is due in Dec.Did he miss the point ?
