It’s always the ones you most suspect.

Why do they care so much about libraries. it’s not like they or their kids read. How do you get illiterate people excited to ban books. It’s a god damn conspiracy!

I must have missed this one, very classy and up to par for the admin.

Probably one of the top 10 Trump moments so far from the Oval Office “ we are going to make less capable aircraft for our allies. In case they aren’t our allies anymore in the future you never know.”

Yea we need to keep that energy, i was really hoping someone else would step in and extend it to prevent the vote another day or two.

Huh is that more or less than he’s spent on golfing the last 2 months? Last i checked that was already close to 30 Million. Guess he cares more about golf than illegals. or just wasting tax dollars for fun.

Think about AOC first term, very popular with her base. She got a lot of media attention because republicans hated her. Young hot smart and totally lefty. Couple terms in congress and she is reformed a bit in messaging. She understands procedure better, and she’s eligible for important roles in comittees. In this time she’s gained my support as a centrist.

I think this is what the party needs to be doing more. We bring in fresh blood, we help them grow as politicians and we don’t strangle their visions and constituents because we don’t agree with them. Let the people decide. But it takes time for AOC to gain my favor. It’s a trust thing, her words and her action, following her over 4-8 years makes you feel better about sending them back for 4 more.

After 20 years ya curb em, but some of the best politicians and policies are worth fostering and need leadership that can last multiple political cycles.

Yea I dealt with my trump voting buddy for 3 years while he sent me shit about Biden starting WW3.

Trumps like balls deep in WW3 now and my buddy refuses to discuss it. Like bro i spend 3 years calming your fears and watching biden so you didn’t have too. And now your guy starts WW3 and you’re not even gonna tell me its gonna be okay!?!?!?

We both trade stocks so same thing with the market “hey bud the market may never recover from Trump and you may lose all your money and have to go back to work”

He does not care.

So part of my both sides shit is just frustration from having republican friends who are both sides bad until trumps in office and then its like. See no evil hear no evil, quit over reacting lib…

Also i’ve studied history and presidents. In 30-40 years from now we will be discussing the biden presidency in a very postive light. He looks like an actual genius inbetween two trump terms. I’m tired of hearing about him, tired of having to defend him. He did the best he could with the America we have. Can’t say that about trump.

Yea I hope to hear more news from the big cities. For those of you who can just walk out of your houses in mass, grab a sign and do it!

I got 20 people in 2 miles of me. Our town square is just a corner of a highway with a gas station and a church.

agree 100% just no idea how to get rid of them. Pressure them to step down? vacate the organization to be reorganized? Idk what they are thinking from their ivory tower but most of us are ready for them to step down.

You gotta remember in America we are all far apart. I have to drive 30 minutes to the closest protest. 40 Million people in california live 48 hours away from washington DC.

We can’t easily get our population in the same place at the same time. People are doing their best, there are lots of small protests everywhere. They will get bigger when the weather gets nicer. This filibuster has got me excited. Hopefully we can get rid of some of the apathy and get to some action. We are doing something we’re just spread apart and are lacking direction and leadership. It’s hard to keep hope, hell its hard to keep up with the stream of evil shit this admin does every day.

It’s breaking me and stealing my humanity. More people will fight as it breaks them too. They may have to lose their granma to poverty and disease but even thats not far away now.

Correct, right now they are proving that they will hold the senate floor all day and prevent legislation. I’m hoping they have discovered a way to block everything. Scream and bitch and never give up the floor. No new laws. No new budgets, no tax cuts. endless sit in.

I think this is that thing. They have found a way to shut down the congress. They just need to hold the floor for 2 years. They need to be encouraged to hold the senate floor for 2 years. The ultimate sit in. You want your representatives doing something? Obstructing congressional progression is that thing. Endless sit in.

DNC bad, DNC suppress good democrats, and elevates bad ones. Lets figure out who the good ones are and empower them outside of the DNC.

The DNC should have bent the knee to Bernie. The DNC should be abolished for not addressing the populist wave that became MAGA. The tea party movement was about dead and they fed it millions of disenfranchised voters to rebrand into MAGA.

Nah i’m fine with capping office at 70-75. I think we also need to be more open and blunt when people have served enough. There needs to be succession plans and not just sit in seat and die.

Fair, sorry i’ve just been seeing that opinion pop up in too many posts. I never had to worry about anything during the biden administration. I was embarrassed by 3-4 gaffes and nothing he did remotely came close to threatening Canada and Europe. Which trump is doing in pre-dementia. If biden was so incompetent in his final years in office, I failed to notice it. I always saw a strong competent leader who was doing his best for the country. I saw half america spitting on him as he helped them with real problems in their life. It’s just a bad look to be trashing biden with trump doing a hitler/putin dictator speedrun. You’re allowed to have multiple opinions just don’t respect the opinion that biden was unable to lead the country. We ended the 4 year term in strong footing and its all been destoryed in 20 days because Kamalas laugh was on Tic Tok more than her policy. I hate it here.

eh I just spend the whole biden admin watching press releases, speeches and fighting with republicans about his dementia. Turns out it was total hypocrisy and like bidens age, not an issue with trump.

I really don’t care who you voted for if you are still spending time talking about bidens debate blunders, I know which candidate you helped get elected. Your words did more than your vote here.

Maybe you should think about the criticism and the timing. Because it was poorly timed in 2024 and completely irrelevant now. We all want younger sharper candidates. having biden step down should have happened in 2022 and not 2024. That was a mistake.
