If they're so pissed about it, the progressives should just pack up and form a new party or join the WFP
Yeah it's a clever lie that's perpetuated that says progressives have no where to go if they try to break from the Democrats. But secretly a more progressive platform would actually draw over a lot of disaffected libertarians and lite conservatives who only vote conservative because they've been convinced that they should only vote in opposition to Democrats instead of in favor of anything.
haven't you heard?
everyone and everything that isn't the democrats is russian psy ops...
I am only donating to AOC until she and her fellow progressives gain a larger voice in the direction of the party. I've unsubbed from a lot of Democratic lists, too.
I advise all to do the same (as she can allocate these money to elsewhere if she wishes), while also contacting the DNC at https://democrats.org/
If certain Dems aren't going to do anything constructive, then they need to get out of the damn way and put people like AOC in charge.
Can we all collectively elect AOC to represent all elected democrats in the House? She'd get, like, 215 votes on every bill.
I know a person can hold only one position at a time; it was just a funny thought.
The people pressuring Schumer andJeffries are:
Let me fix your headline "Sitting incumbents too comfortable to do their jobs annoyed that they are being pushed to do their jobs."
Can Chuck Schumer go jump down a well please? Fuck the DNC's "centrist" republicrat agenda. Return to progressivism you archaic troglodytes.
Pictured: two of the most useless government employees in history, one of whose net worth grew tenfold after being appointed the successor to the queen of insider trading, and the other one of which is so deep in the pocket of fossil fuel interests that he needs a 12 foot snorkel to breathe.
I'm sure they've already ran the numbers and realized getting power to exploit the people from winning is far less likely than getting it from switching sides.
I could swear this shit is like the plot from The Producers. They've monetized their incompetence and realized that they can make more money from losing elections than from winning. They collect billions in donations from desperate people and then launder it, squandering it on ineffectual "vote blue" spam while awarding lucrative no bid consultancy contracts with friendly party aristocracy insiders for massive kick backs and "speaking fees".
Kamala "I'm Speaking" Harris never intended to do anything OTHER than speaking. Seems the democrat establishment doesn't want any of us remembering that TALK IS CHEAP.
I don't have any democratic representatives to call. At any level. Anywhere. Do I call Jeffries and Schumer directly?
Still call your Republican representatives and ask what the fuck they are thinking by surrendering their power to an executive branch. That's not how our Republic supposed to work.
Edit: they supposed to represent you, you actually are in state where your representatives are responsible for the current situation and you are wondering how to contact representatives from the minority party that has a very little power to do anything right now.
It doesn't matter that you think they won't listen, if you and others won't complain, they definitively won't do anything.
I mean if they need a quick temperature check I know this song that goes MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY BITCH GET OUT THE WAY.
Say it with me, the Democratic Party is not a real political party.
They are the ones who have the most ability to hold ORAGNE accountable. Keep the pressure on your Democrat representatives to DO THEIR FUCKING JOB! Signed, a concerned Canadian.
Things really need to start now on establishing a party and running candidates from local on up to combat things in the next major elections. If the democrats refuse to properly do their jobs, then elect those who will.
