I believe Democrats need to say what they are going to do (have an agenda ) in addition to saying how bad Trump is. We know the problem (Trump & Republicans) but we also need solutions.
Am I the only one that thinks democrats are held to a totally different standard than republicans??
The ONLY plan/agenda republicans have (and have had for over 60 years-covered up by the blatant LIE that they are the sole saviors of our economy & safety) is to burn down democracy & our standards & institutions in the CRUELEST & most INHUMANE ways possible while making the wealth gap larger than the Grand Canyon…
And NOW I hear the democrats don’t have a plan OR message or ANY EFFECTIVENESS???
WTAF is wrong with the democrats plan to stop republicans from further stealing our country, our freedoms and our tax dollars? In ANY WAY POSSIBLE. (And I truly believe ALL of us should get behind the only party that can help us to stop this IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.)
Is that NOT ENOUGH for the critics?? WTF is actually needed at this historic juncture where the current party abusing power is causing an actual, daily CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS???
People are literally being kidnapped to a concentration camp in another country with zero due process (who authorized payment for THAT btw??)
and I keep hearing “the democrats have no coherent messaging” from literal NON-REPUBLICANS.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Please. Someone make THIS make sense. Anyone who wants to stand back & criticize at this historical juncture instead of coming together against the one party who has proven to us that they don’t give one crap about America or YOU is just joining in with these traitors grabbing & abusing power. And WHY?? Because you think that THEY are on the right side of history?? That supporting them will benefit YOU as an ordinary citizen?
That THEY will grant you livable wages, affordable groceries, better healthcare, more affordable housing options and higher education you don’t have to take a lifetime mortgage in order to access??? Please. As if republicans haven’t spent decades eliminating unions & workers rights, sponsored unfettered greed and deregulation and then promoted investors in single family housing. (Want to know why your rent is so high and housing prices are in the stratosphere?? Ask industrial housing investor pools like Blackrock. How can you, a single person, compete with investors pooling their funds against you? Spoiler alert- you can’t.)
Name one fascist, authoritarian regime who successfully ran/runs a country of happy, healthy, productive, prosperous people. Where wealth is not concentrated in a very tiny percentage at the very top. No, really- I’ll wait.
Whine later if you want to about perfect messaging. Refine things AFTER our democracy (and due process rights) has/have been restored and we’ve regained our RIGHTS to form OUR government as a benefit for WE THE PEOPLE- not the billionaires at the top.
Don’t be distracted by the petty-ass bullshit they’d rather us focus on to keep us divided and isolated into their algorithms.
Forget color, country of origin, sexual orientation, religious preference, etc. republicans LOVE to see us squabbling amongst ourselves over this stupid shit while they steal our rights, our treasury, our judiciary and our opportunities to have a happy, fulfilling life. (While billionaires legislate themselves tax bills of zero, corporate welfare & loopholes to get away with crimes.)
Don’t let THEM tell you who your friends & enemies are.
NOW is the time to get behind the one party left offering any hope at all out of this fascist, authoritarian mess the republicans have sold us all out to- and fight like you, your children’s (and grandchildren’s) lives depend on it right now. Because it does. We can no longer afford to be divided by our differences. See you at the next protest on MAY 1. Feel free to volunteer for the government YOU want.
Please don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying religious preference & sexual orientation aren’t important. They are. Very much so-in fact part of why people ripped up their roots from family & friends to re-locate in the new, raw America WAS to worship and form families as they chose.
Right now, if we don’t fight for our rights (religious & otherwise) against the current regime, we will be prosecuted for worshipping other than the “Christian” doctrine as dictated by trump & his followers. (Who don’t seem to see value in things like tolerance, raising people up, taking care of the sick, elderly & poor; etc.)
On April 22, Attorney General Pamela Bondi hosted members of the President’s Cabinet at the U.S. Department of Justice for the inaugural meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the federal government. The Task Force, which was established by President Trump under Executive Order 14202, was joined by peaceful Christian Americans who were unfairly targeted by the Biden Administration for their religious beliefs.
I can’t read this Order any other way than to see it erodes religious freedom in America to the point that only “approved” Christian worship will be permitted.
We need to shut this regime down ASAP- it doesn’t matter if you worship according to “approved Christian standards” or not- if you support this regime taking away one person’s right to worship as they choose, you are supporting the taking away of ALL our right to worship as we choose.
This Executive Order eliminates freedom of religion completely and is utterly unconstitutional. We need to protest firmly against the whole of this regime and its intolerance & cruelty.
I have been hoping to hear solutions for a long time. The Dems are so overwhelmed as we all our, but I know we and they will figure it out. We need Trump gone.
Maryhelen is the messaging of tying it around Trump, is that what you are referring to as enough? I’m not disagreeing just trying to understand. Do we still need the message to go virile on a regular basis?
We are seeing Dems starting to speak up. I want every one of them to stand up in their districts, town halls, everyday louder than loud.
I want us to follow Canada’s lead. The election was turned due to Trump. We can do the same. We need all Dems talking, pointing out what is happening and share the plan! Get out and knock on doors again. Speak at church’s, town meetings, county fairs, big cities, small cities, small town America USA. Be visible, be in the GOP’s face!!!!! We need this at every elected level of office. Town, city, state & federal level!
See you on May 1st. Keep calling, writing, speaking out. Don’t forget to check out the Supreme Court website. They are complicit in this attack on our Democracy by the Trump regime !
We had solutions that were supported by economists, reformed republicans, judiciary and millionaire. We just did t listed. Just hope we are dealing listening this time!
An Irish migrant now in my 7th decade here in Australia, we look on at this comedy show in total disbelief. How can a country your size let one man destroy everything that has been created by so many good people. The tariff war is an unmitigated disaster, and your standing overseas is now a bloody joke. You cannot take another four years of the clown; a convicted criminal and a record holder of bankruptcies. We will never set foot in your country again. We will never buy an American product again. And, unfortunately we will never have a nice thing to say about your country ever again. Though, when we see his dust, we will be back. Good luck, keep him there!
I ask myself the same questions. I am a lifelong Democrat. I think America became complacent and stupid at the same time. Entitlement and money are what sank the Roman Empire, and it's happening in greed-driven America.. He needs to die. I am waiting for that to happen. He is hated globally.
It’s about damn time. Kamala had a plan, she outlined it, and the corporate media ignored it. And frankly, democrats didn’t do enough to highlight that plan. But what do I know? I’m just a pissed off American.
Sadly, America could not see past its racism and having a woman lead. America is a sad, lazy, uneducated (don't read), and backward country. I love my country, but the truth is people are buying groceries with credit cards and driving 60k cars they can afford!.
Can’t happen soon enough! Trump is theirs, they wanted him now he’s all theirs. Trump and the republicans are joined at the hip. I hope they enjoy the ride.
Jeffries is right! I hope Republicans are beginning to feel the pressure. We can’t let up. The list of the Articles of Impeachment that Representative Thaneder read are clear and concise. We know what trump has done illegally, now the American people will, too. They might not be ready for impeachment yet, but they will be watching.
Yes, Democrats need to stop begging for money and start telling people what their plans are to fix this mess. Nothing will change until they truly get their act together and start working on plans that will turn things around. I know that I am not giving them a penny until they do.
If you watched trumpers being interviewed at Trump's rallies prior to the election, it was clear they didn't care about democratic principles much less living in a true democracy. Many made it clear they were ready foe a "strongman". (As long as it was Trump). Sadly, many of his supporters will abandon him only if he empties their pocketbooks. And even then there will always be people driven to living under a bridge who will sing his praises.
I still think tying Trump policies to DOGE and Elon Musk is the best way to get Republicans to vote against their own party or decide to sit out the 2026 midterms. Because the MAGA base LOVES Trump but despises the South African billionaire.
Jeffries needs to have a word (or two, or three) with Gavin Newsom, James Carville, and other timid (Schumer and Co!), or worse — collaborationist! — members of his party, all the Vichy Dems (yes, you are definitely a collaborationist when you call for playing dead while our democracy is under seige, or throw trans people under the bus because that is what you think won for Trump, what you believe will show folks how ‘reasonable’ you are when actually it proves you lack any moral compass) — this is absolutely not a time to seek or call for ‘bipartisanship’, not when the GOP-MAGA partisans are trying to destroy our democracy, much as we saw in Germany in the 1930s; as Paul Krugman said today, we are well past the point where you can say that MAGA/Nazi comparisons are illegitimate
MAGA sends them threats when they vote against Trump so they are not even standing up for their own rights. But yes, they should be tied to Trump and go down with him.
"House Democrats were some of the first people to begin the fight against Trump"
Um, with respect, what are you talking about? Nobody heard from House Democrats for the first 90 days, if that. The people we elected to bring such a fight to bear. They laid down and cowered (with a few exceptions).
Members of the party not in power, are not even noticed by MSM. What would you have had them do? Lots of sincere ... We gotta stop this, happened ... Were you even listening?
What Jeffries said is true..finally the Dems are tying the chaos in the country to the Republicans..the Dems have known this all along but they would not say it..I have been saying all along that the Republicans are the cause of this chaos and everything that’s happening..we all should start tying Republican to what is happening to our Democracy..why this nation has given the Republicans a pass when it was clear from the very beginning that the Republicans have been closely tied to Trump/Musk and what Doge has been doing to the nation and the people of the nation..

Not necessarily. Harris ran a blistering campaign promising what she would do. Tying them to Trump’s failures is enough.

Why do Democrats have to do what Republicans never do? The bar is lower for Republicans.
I absolutely agree!!

"Rubber Stamp Republicans". Good phrase, let's circulate it.

Unfortunately you are right.
Quite possibly the most incompetent president? Ffs! I would not expect you to mince words like this. He is by far the most incompetent president.
Can’t happen soon enough! Trump is theirs, they wanted him now he’s all theirs. Trump and the republicans are joined at the hip. I hope they enjoy the ride.
Yessir cmon Jeffries Tare them a New Ass! They have harmed America enough!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good they need to be grouped together. Donny is the GOP the GOP is Donny.
Jeffries is right! I hope Republicans are beginning to feel the pressure. We can’t let up. The list of the Articles of Impeachment that Representative Thaneder read are clear and concise.

I agree with you. Where is your fucking plan. Trump needs to die, that's a given, but then what?
Then we would get vance and still have those project 2025 men there. We need to get rid of the whole bunch!
