It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.
We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

The degree of work they have to put in to say "no the people online who predicted this are wrong, I just can't explain how yet" is the one bright spot of all this. They see it now, and the more they try to pretend the more of them break away.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Hello! I am one of the 20 million. Recently widowed and my premiums for 2026 will be $2000/mo. An increase of over $700/mo from 2025. $24K a year for health insurance. But, I guess 20 million is the smallest number. Someone has to suffer. That is what you are saying here, correct?
