It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.
Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.
agree 100% just no idea how to get rid of them. Pressure them to step down? vacate the organization to be reorganized? Idk what they are thinking from their ivory tower but most of us are ready for them to step down.
Primary them. That’s it.
I don’t understand. What would this do. In a primary it’s Democrats against Democrats, or Republicans against Republicans. Sure, the Democratic voters can use a primary to replace one Democrat with another, but it’s still a Democrat. You can’t use a primary to oust a Democrat and replace them with an independent.
Primary them, but also make it as clear as possible, before, during, and after the primary, that republican-lite is not electable because the DCCC has shown time and time again they will put as much weight as they can on primaries to make sure the left doesn’t win, from blackballing any companies and staffers that support a primary against an incumbent (this is never applied to primarying progressives or companies that help elect republicans) to defunding state party’s funds and quitting if the progressives take control of the state party.
If the left candidate doesn’t win, I am not voting for a republican-lite and giving them further power to the guys we see rolling over for fascism right now.
That is what the tea-party did, and it scared the republican party in line, and the ones who didn’t toe the line, but still managed to win primaries, lost general elections.
Exactly. Thats what the Tea Party did. Many established Republicans lost their jobs to far right wingers during the primaries. Many of them went on to lose to their Democratic opponents, often flipping seats, but it sent the message to the party that a serious movement was developing within their party, and eventually they prevailed.
Now Dems need to do the same thing. Ignore the incument status, and only vote for Dem candidates that are willing to show strength, and demand that our government work for the citizens, and not just their wealthy campaign donors. My Dem congressman is extremely weak, and we NEVER hear about him. The next district has 26 year old Max Frost, who is tearing it up and getting on National T1V on a regular basis. He recently got in trouble during a comittee meeting because he insisted on referring to HitlerPig as the Grifter-In-Chief, and refused to stop. They had to cancel the meeting.
We need all our representatives to be like Max, who came to DC to defend America, and attack the Nazis relentlessly. Primaries are the path to do that.
