On the “everyone hated that” side of the ledger, Gavin Newsom started a Podcast and invited ass clowns on.

People from households where "Thou shalt hate AOC" is the 11th commandment in their family Bible are liking AOC. Definitely a pattern here.

Are you really unaware that every democrat is in their district talking to their constituents this recess? Townhalls are everywhere. And guess what? They aren’t fundraising off it for their PACS. Which is probably why you don’t know shit

Meanwhile, on Fox News digital all the commentary is about how they’re flying in a private jet and it’s on taxpayer money. Fun place to hang out.

Reach out to your constituents! Start a podc-- hold on I'm getting an update on how Democrats in podcasting are doing oh no oh no no no

legit i know Hillary voters now pro Bernie/aoc

There definitely seems to be a small faction that gets it. Throw Walz doing his substitute town halls in there too I am looking forward to see what we can do here in Virginia this year and how that could help set the tone nationally

GTFOH. Obama was great as was Biden. The fact that the majority of white voters vote Republican every election since the 1960s and voted for Dump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 is the real problem. They can't help but vote for white supremacy.

The most under appreciated fact by politicians. That seems to come well down the list.

The loyal base of the party are Black voters so maybe include Black people in your list.

So is Jasmine Crockett and Tammy Duckworth. Not everyone is good at riling up crowds. That doesn't mean they're bad at their jobs. The party needs many types of messengers. AOC and Bernie have done little in passing legislation. Dan Goldman is impressive too. We don't always need cheerleaders.

Kleptocracy, also referred to as thievocracy, is a government whose corrupt leaders (kleptocrats) use political power to expropriate the wealth of the people and land they govern, typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds at the expense of the wider population.

True that I would be less irritated with Schumer if he had Not said one thing Wednesday and reversed himself the very next day Showed indifference to House Ds Been intransigent He did face a hard choice But made it worse

I don't know if it is turning to shit. I don't even know what that would look like — what would have to happen for the party to see the light and for the squishes to loosen their grip on the party

I think the Democratic Party would be in a much better place if only like 40% of the time they did the more popular thing rather than the vetted, conservative, managed option. The popular opinion is not always the just one but like sometimes it really…just is?

Newsome cozies up to the right...everyone hated that!

Got it, we need to throw some trans people under the bus to appeal to Republicans. Message received.

Sen Warren is speaking passionately, intelligently, and defiantly - and not placating any TV talking head on the difference between law and tyranny, in the responsibility of the checks and balances of our government

Well, Bernie just isn't a Democrat. AOC is only in party, not philosophy.

Shumer took the hit and saved our ass. If the government was closed that would be all we would be talking about today.

Don’t forget Newsom arguing Dems should ignore violations of civil rights, which I think everyone is hating also

May I suggest House Dems read this? demwriter.substack.com/p/five-alarm...

I think they need the steps numbered too, just to be safe.

AOC goes on tour with Bernie: people want her to primary Schumer, if not run for President.

Raised profiles don’t save sinking ships but the people working together could

Whitmer chucked herself out; she's completely over nationally.

The caning of Charles Sumner if it was based.

Congressprople can use the platform and resources they have!

murkowski publicly whines how frightened she & all the republicans are FOR THEMSELVES. The call goes out for every bedwetting pol to resign!!! No one elected them to fat cushy jobs to do NOTHING for Americans & the country. They elected them to protect the country against what trump's doing

As often happens in politics....

No dude I have it on good authority that everyone asking Democratic members of Congress to Do Something have no coherent idea what Something is and will never be satisfied whatever anyone does

He stepped up to plate like a Leader and followed through. Fuck Trump he can bite the cost 💲 stop the madness of making a criminal and gang member out of a normal person. Their immigration tactics are lazy and sloppy every trump does is ridiculous and dangerous.

their takeaway will be to pay consultants to advise how to get everyone to like when they capitulate

Bernie and AOC taking it to the streets !!

He deserves whatever credit he gets. He did the thing. And I believe he probably does believe in due process. Still a politician though. So my praise is limited.

Better than the Orange Turd raising his political profile by being on a television show where his only claim to fame was saying: you’re fired.

The American Revolutionary War began 250 years ago this Saturday. Let’s mark the occasion by celebrating the power of the American people. Join us in protest at every state capitol, city hall, and town hall across this nation.

youtu.be/mQ9A8soARzk?...

APRIL 19th is our next Nationwide Protest. We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.

Don't do it for the wrong reason.

All pure horror etc

You mean Lisa Murkowski's cowering is not inspiring people?

An ambitious democrat scrawls the revelation "Do literally anything about the impending fascist regime" on to a note pad and nods solemnly.

Schumer- step down now.

If people wanted their Democrat representative to publicly cave, they would have sent them to a cave with a accompanying livestream crew.

It‘s pretty obvious the Schumer has no place in future democratic leadership because he just does not lead. He certainly knows fashism, but is obviously unwilling to risk his cushy position on fighting it.

and you are?

May they stop being ferrari and get their stuff together

Dems get moving RESIST.

"I would like to know how to gets lots of people to vote for me and increase my personal prestige and power." "Do things we like." "Not like that."

CHUCK SCHUMER (thoughtfully): I will cave...harder. Harder than ever before.

@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social

But are they fighting back with their policies? That's what counts with me.

Gretchen and Gavin are done

Didn't Booker also sign off to sending more money to Isreal to commit more genocide? Not trying to completely devalue the Dems growing a backbone because everyone else is doing better but that hurt Booker abit.

Dont forget Newsome was doing podcasts with Nazi sympathizers.

the first legislative act senate dems performed after Booker's 25-hour fillibuster was to confirm by unanimous consent big dick toilet guy matt whitaker as ambassador to the UN.

We need to see these things where they take the time to be with the people and experience and see our woes firsthand. Not many were doing that. We have good politicians. We do. There's hope at the end of the rainbow, but We have to wait until the storm clears to see it.

i hope sen van hollen does become a household name, hes one of the good ones along with rep jaime raskin. both of which represent my state

Because Schumer caved, Trump's economic plan passed. With that economic plan was a huge increase in DHS funding. With that huge increase in funding, ICE is able to do more and more of these unconstitutional extractions. So Schumer helped enable Trump perform illegal acts.

youtu.be/mQ9A8soARzk?...

Let's not forget Sanders and AOC rallying the country. Walz and others going to town meetings in place of Republicans.

Seems like a pretty clear lesson here...

Gavin tried to start a podcast and failed miserably

He should! HE has actually done something! I have no doubt that he’ll continue to work to get him out of that prison & home! I wish my TX Senators were so avid to defend one of their constituents! Jasmine Crockett would be a great replacement for Cornyn! Anybody is better than Cruz!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

gofund.me/46cf2d63

True

Very astute. People want Dems to stand up to Trump. Schumer took a giant shit on that.

I loved this post, just another data point for you.

The party is desperate to find a hero. Sitting in a leather chair in a fancy office isn’t going to cut it. Not anymore!!

Democrats are for justice for all but someone else steals the thunder, as usual.

And susan Collin’s said she it too scared to be in politics. Remove her.

Plus. Better to be a household name for these reasons, than I dunno, being totally evil. I’m ok with Booker and Van Hollen. It’s better than caving and sitting quietly, waiting for your turn at the till.

Let’s not forget Booker is a longstanding anti-science grifter.

yeah his whole fucking point is that collaboration is not inspiring and that in fact it made people hate Newsom.

And Jeffries does nothing

Van Hollen has been around for decades. I don't think publicity was foremost in his mind.

Jeez you all damn them when they don’t do anything and damn them when they try to do something. And put forth some left handed theory as well.

Some people will complain and criticize no matter what you do

So, should he NOT have gone, to avoid seeming ambitious? 🤨

This is a serious misunderstanding of what Schumer did.

"Schumer performed an action."

AOC is a true force and should be embraced! Step aside Connelly guy.

He did something for the unjustly imprisoned man. MAGA trump did NOTHING and his cronies supported leaving the innocent person there.

Bless them both!

We’ll all remember these folks that ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING come time for re-election. And we’ll remember the “others” as well.

AOC is out there with Bernie drawing huge crowds in red districts. It’s like they’re all waiting for someone else to be first before they show a spine.

Don’t forget Bernie and AOC pulling in 1000s at every stop

AOC, bernie, cory, and hollen are like the avengers of the revolution

these people were elected and are our representatives- it's their job and I expect it because they have access and power that we don't. so, get in there and get it done

We need people who are able to stand up & meet this moment when so much is at stake. Schumer is not made for this moment. His let’s wait & see what happens to the Trump & extremist GOP constitutional crisis is appalling & reckless.

yep. he’s done. it’s a wrap.

He's trying to appeal to his awful right wing son. Because Newsome was never left wing.

But what if they do the right, popular thing and it alienates one of the seven moderate Republicans who might have voted Democrat this year?!

I’m good with positions making a name for themselves by doing the right things!

Don’t include Booker in this. Nobody loved it when the day after his speech he voted to send more weapons to gen0cidal Israel. The man is owned by AIPAC

I would be happy to see a Democratic senator to take a lead, and hopefully some young Turks. Van Hollen and Booker are keepers in the US Senate.

We Constituents like when a politician sticks their neck out for us instead of just caving, must be news to them

AOC and Bernie going on a barnstorming tour - also good!

Actions speak louder than words.

So what? We wanted him To physically do something and he did. You are criticizing him for that?

Raising public profile is just fine if it gathers media reporting of problem… we’re a long way off from voting or anointing anyone - the more Dems speak up, show up & create scenes that might collect those who didn’t vote find they’re sorry about vote… fine. Let’s not worry about moments @ get more

Is that so bad??

booker broke that record a couple days ago and nobody gives a shit anymore. media stunts simply don't play out in reality like they do in your mind

Watch what you wish for and have now! Trump felon convicted by a jury of his peers 34 felony’s!Paid hush money to all judges who sold their souls for cash!

Also, a bunch of rich women flew really high up and then came down and everyone hated it.

What do the tattoos on Garcia’s left hand mean?

Let's hope this is a change. Democrats need to fight for some real change. How can you expect people to vote FOR you if you're willing to fight. If you fight, you may change minds It may help get those non voters off the couch and stop the Dem Party from catering to Republicans.

Do likeable things and people will like you. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

There is also the underrated option of decent people doing the decent thing in indecent times. Call me Pollyanna but.....
