We need real change. Systems level change.

They are not one in the same.

This only furthers the divide.

Our system doesn’t work for the vast majority of people and while Biden did take baby steps forward, the time for baby steps is gone. It didn’t make a difference, not enough of a difference and not fast enough.

We, as progressives, can not tell working Americans what their lived reality is. The fact that democrats did that during the election was disgraceful and just plain stupid. Please refrain from conflating people’s lived experiences with the stock market and macro indicators.

Just because the stock market was “good” doesn’t mean the economy - the cost of living, the chances of your kid doing better than you - were good. I’m not saying that what Trump just did isn’t batshit crazy and won’t hurt more people but my god, this post misses the point.

That’s just heartbreaking (but makes sense, given our culture).

@schumer.senate.gov You clearly don’t get it. You need to step aside old man, all you’re doing is hurting people.

Time for new leadership. @aoc.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov

It’s the Russian agenda… which apparently is now the American agenda.

No longer writing letters or waiting for procedure. You’re protesting. You’re organizing protests. You will be arrested. You might be assaulted and you need us there too. This will be hard but my god, it will be 1000x harder if we let them have their way.

Everyone should wear black. Go outside and hold the press conference the dems should’ve held awhile ago. NOT CHUCK OR HAKEEM. AOC or Bernie or Chris Murphy or someone with some common sense who can speak to the people. And as apart of that press conference, clarify how you’re (the dems) are

That’s you old man. Shit or get off the pot.

When you say they have no vision… you mean the dems, right? Because the right has a very clear fucking vision and it does not include equality or prosperity for all.

You, Bernie, and a handful of other politicians are the only ones who actually have a vision. Establishment dems don’t.

Your party is doing nothing to stop this. They’re so wildly out of touch, if it wasn’t infuriating it would be comical.

Start a new political party because the current Democratic Party is useless.

It’s our only hope.

The current generation of Democratic leadership is not optimized for… leadership. I’m a progressive and I now despise them. The only way we overcome this is if a new political party emerges. The dems, as they currently stand, are worthless. (With some individual exceptions, of course - AOC.)

There’s something hopeful in it. Thank you for sharing 💛
