Where the fuck are the Democratic PEOPLE?

[maxrandb]

I know where the Democratic Party is. I know where they were.

They were standing in the breach on November 5, 2024, and a minority of voters in the right combination of states shit on them.

You want to know where the fuck the Democrats are? They are NOT in the White House. They have a slim minority in the House, and a 6 seat minority in the Senate.

A better question would be; "where in the fuck are you?", or "where in the fuck am I?"

I have followed Minority Leader Jefferies. I have followed AOC, and Governor Whitner and Governor Pritzker and Governor Newsom. Just saw Bernie Sanders sounding the alarm. 18 Democratic State AGs have sued the orange fuckstick.

What do you want them to do? Set themselves on fire on the Capital steps?

So again..."where in the fuck are you, or I, or us"?

Are we still using a South African Nazis website, or buying his cars?

Are we still on Facebook?

Still buying shit from Amazon?

Still shopping at establishments that fund and enable fascists, racists, misogynists and white supremacists?

Still have our eyes glued to the worthless fucking press?

Asking; "where are the fucking Democrats"? is like giving your kid a book of matches and asking; "why didn't somebody do something before my house caught fire"?

1. The party is meant to provide leadership and guidance

They get no pass from me. Yes, we all have our own responsibilities, but that doesn't excuse the politicians' silence.

[maxrandb]

7. Sorry, but that sounds a lot like

"Kamala Harris lost because she didn't do enough interviews".

[iemanja]

8. Non-sequitur

[Scrivener7]

10. Really? Do those things really sound the same to you?

[LauraInLA]

2. Excellent point.

[stillcool]

3. could be the bottom is falling out

faster than expected. Who are they going to blame...ghostbusters? I can't stand waiting for it. Like waiting for death when it's imminent.

[yaesu]

4. I don't watch the news, haven't used amazon in over a decade, haven't set myself on fire because I have a low pain

threshold but that might change after 4 year of tRump.

[orangecrush]

5. Please stop.

[betsuni]

6. Thank you, exactly. I often wonder if they expect Democrats to set themselves on fire or what.

What do they want? Some kind of psychological thing maybe, or about somebody or something else.

[Scrivener7]

9. I for one am calling my representatives every day asking for communication and a plan to direct the actions of the

millions of Democrats who are desperate to contribute but don't want to be lone voices spitting into the wind.

When I call I get a machine.

And yes, I've done all the things you listed.

I know he did bad things, but think Andrew Cuomo during Covid. He informed us what was being done, and he gave us marching orders on how we could best support the efforts of the people on the front lines.

Democrats are not powerless. We are half the country. But we need our leadership to direct us. So far all they've told us is that God will take care of it.

11. What power has the Democratic party had in the U.S. Congress

over the last 7 days to stop those who control all branches of government? What do your New York representatives think?

[sheshe2]

14. I love ya, Scrivener.

And I agree, Cuomo did a great job with COVID info for NY. However, no real comparison to what is going on today. That was 1 state he was advocating for, just one.

In the first 7days, what TSF has done affects the entire US and in fact the entire world. His rapid fire EO's have crippled our military, our communications from CDC and WHO during an outbreak of bird flu. He is using the military to deport countless people while filming it for all to see, it's called propaganda. He set thousands of J6 criminals free, taken away security details from Fauci and more. He has threatened all that he perceives as his enemy, those that did not bow down to him.

He has essentially cut us off, and isolated us from the entire world.
He wants to start a war and seize Greenland and Panama. He just froze federal financial aid for a wide range of priorities — from domestic infrastructure and energy projects to diversity-related programs and foreign aid.

He has done all of this without our duly elected Congress.

I have heard people speaking out, Warren, Raskin, Schiff, AOC and others...but we are just 7 days in and this one hell of an emergency to address. It changes daily. WE may have our voice but in fact have very little power.

[Scrivener7]

15. " what TSF has done affects the entire US and in fact the entire world" All the more reason. NT

[Bluethroughu]

12. Yes, I agree.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET IN THIS.

[BadgerMom]

13. I've done all that.

I’ve contacted my representative and senators, all Democrats. (As noted above, all I’ve gotten are recordings, btw.) And I’m willing to do more. As others have said, I am one person. My voice alone isn’t strong enough to make a difference. I will not be sought out by reporters. Our Democratic officials could be.

I want leadership to provide guidance and focus. Of course I realize we have no majorities. I’m despondent about that. But we have our voices which, if united, can be heard. Give us messaging. Give us tasks. Speak to those affected by this immoral administration. Begin the 2026 campaign. And don’t imagine for a moment that that means sending texts dunning me for money. I’m in no mood. Show me something to donate for and you might open my wallet. But it will not happen with the lack of leadership and imagination I’m currently witnessing. I don’t need scolding. My eyes are wide open. I need a leader.

16. Well said

As usual, some expect democrats to wave a magic wand to fix all their problems and will demonize them when they don’t.

[maxrandb]

17. My Gawd! A frickin day after President Biden took office in the middle of a depression

and during the worst national health emergency since the 1906 Flu, he was being criticized and blamed for all of America's problems.

Same with President Clinton and President Obama.

Dems have been cleaning up the messes of Retrumplicans since the Great Depression, and probably since before that. I, for one, am tired of it.

America is like that girl you liked in High School, who kept choosing the meth head over the decent guy who loved her. Then, when the meth head blows the rent money on meth, she aks; "why didn't you do something?"

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. Agreed

And I blame a lot of that on the corporate media that parrots GOP talking points and hold democrats to a much higher bar than they ever hold republicans

[boston bean]

19. Right here. Demanding action from our elected leaders, like every good democrat should.

Even if that action is just freaking leading with some communication to its members and supporters.

How else does one affect change? Silence?

[GusBob]

20. Sounds like they're fucking

Based on what I just read

Around here they are lining up to get the Tribal IDs and lineage papers

Believe it or not more than few don’t have ID for various reasons, which hinders our IHS funding when they come into the clinic.

The Tribal office was closed yesterday for Tribal holiday. It’s a beehive today
