Get these losers out, for sure. Bring in the new era of progressives, leave the DINOs in the past.
Fox News’s Sean Hannity ranted bitterly about Hasan Piker, the left-wing political commentator.
“Now before, nobody in the Democratic Party stood up to Hasan Piker, and that wing of the party, but the inclusion party, they did kick out Haley Stevens. She’s out of the party. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Hannity [said](https://x.com/Acyn/status/2118163462862098499?a=vYz3Rmeie8ShkgMB0dM\&s=20).
These ghouls really have nothing when they are throwing blame toward a twitch streamer. Pathetic cry more.
Others could be fired, such as Secretary of Defense [Pete Hegseth](https://newrepublic.com/post/217587/donald-trump-pete-hegseth-midterms), whom Trump has been considering giving the axe.
That would be so amazing… PLEASE
Some Republicans seem to be in agreement: Representative Thomas Massie plans to resurrect his articles of impeachment against Hegseth, and several members of the GOP [believe](https://newrepublic.com/post/217633/pete-hegseth-impeached-before-democrats-congress) it will pass.
If Trump doesn’t get to him first LOL
Legal Eagle put out an excellent video on the subject of we need to pursue every avenue, every method of gathering and publishing information showing what this regime did, will do, so it is at least a matter of public record. So that if the Dems gain more control over politics in 2029 that they can be persecuted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Not doing so will just lead us back here again and again and again.
The Dems won because people rejected Trump. Not because people are happy with the DNC. The DNC was actually more unpopular as a whole than the GOP. Progressives crushed it, even in places where they shouldn’t have. Plus with the Michigan lady betrayal, it shows that AIPAC money takes precedent over US needs…again. anyone taking AIPAC money should not be in a leadership role as they don’t value Americans first.
Us dwarves up in the far North have a saying: forge while the iron is hot. Now is the time to send useless idiots into retirement, and criminals into the slammer.
This is the time to reach out to these new or revalidated officials and tell them this is the time to take power back.
I’ve sent emails to my new senator and house rep, but things like 5calls.org are probably useful too. The calls require (people like me) to be a little more prepared with what we want to talk about, but the time is NOW. Also set a reminder for 1/21 and remind them this was, in fact, a mandate to make things different.
If you’ve been disappointed with milquetoast dems… call them right now. Email them at the least.
Drown them in the proof that we demand accountability for the current regime and progress on the issues that we all want.
Dont just replace, prosecute. The Leahy laws are very clear about us not supporting regimes engaged in genocide and these chucklefucks did it anyway. They are criminal conspirators and belong in prison for abetting mass murder.
Primaries for 2028 will be super important. We will need to primary Dems that don’t step up and prosecute.
Schumer lost everything while doing nothing except making a big fuss before losing. GTFO.
They do need to go. Their goal is status quo and treading water.
I agree with some of the new folks who feel like impeachment shouldn’t be the goal. It’s too limited. Accountability and legislation need to be the goals. Impeachment is a subset of that. So is going on a press tour rager when legislation is blocked or vetoed.
Democrats need to wake up and bring the Republicans to bear and fight for the people who elected them. Treading water and whining about Ted Cruz reading Cat in the Hat don’t get us there. Make him stand there until he dies of dehydration. Tear them down in a public forum. Do something.
As someone who has absolutely 0 belief in Bourgoise Democracy I’ll tell you what I think will happen: They’ll put up some sacrificial lambs like that lady who was the greek ambassador and Lauren Bobert and a few other mid level crooks. They’ll bring them into congress and grill them and then maybe they get 10 years in prison max. More likely some fines and stuff. Trump will probably pardon anyone who is going to see real consequences. They’ll then take their money and run. Dems will control the White House and both chambers of congress after 2028, but they won’t pass public healthcare, or anything else like that. They’ll do some minor reforms and maybe a public option that will become a permanent battle every single budget hearing. By 2030 midterms there will be a snapback and “Red Wave”.
As for the foreign policy stuff I didn’t mention it because to quote Biden, “Nothing will fundamentally change.”
I hope I’m proven wrong. I really do.
That’s exactly what will happen if we don’t completely replace leadership starting with these two.
Personally I don’t think the issue is just your leadership. It’s all of them. The democrats are all just playing you guys for fools. Even the ones who talk about medicare for all and stuff don’t intend to actually do it save for very few of them, and once they get in a few months later they’ll be voting for Defence Budget expansions, and all that other stuff just like anyone else. Unless Americans get in the street and start burning shit down nothings going to happen. Be French.
Democrats need new leadership, not just new faces playing the same political games. No more political theater.
Put AOC in charge
AOC in senate with Omar as speaker.
same as in 2016.
DNC leadership dictates to the plebs, not the other way around, just ask Bernie.
“Calls”
At least we get something. \s
I pray to god that they put people in power whose #1 priority is addressing the cost of living crisis. If they keep pushing idiots who are more concerned with identity politics than the well-being of the American people, this powder keg is going to explode.
There can only be so many young men who are unable to find a job and unable to afford a house before you end up with a civil war. Trump completely ignored our economic problems. If the next administration does the same the only outlet will be violence.
that they put people in power whose #1 priority is addressing the cost of living crisis.
To do that they’ll have to look far below the surface at the actual root causes. And fixing that, even if they do everything 100% perfectly, will take a long time to accomplish.
Hopefully the American people have the patience and wisdom to allow that to happen, and don’t just toss them all out if there aren’t instant results. (I don’t expect the electorate to have either, but I am willing to be pleasantly surprised.)
This must be so confusing to anyone who doesn’t keep up with US politics
American politics is confusing even for those of us who try to keep up.
No it isn’t.
The Republicans pull right, and the system along with the Dems do everything to not pull left again. We are seeing this right now, in real time.
The corporate media keeps repeating “The Dems must not overreach”
Jeffries just said today “The American people don’t want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf.” So there goes investigating the corruption.
Same as it ever was…
It’s really not. If you assume they are corrupt and at least slightly fascist, you got it covered.
Don’t get me wrong y’all, I love Bernie, but I think he’s just too old. We need to transition to the newer generation.
He’s also way to sympathetic to Israel. I love Bernie but I dont trust him in any fight to root out AIPAC. When he said publicly that “the word genocide made him queesy”, that was the end for his role when it came to dealing with Israeli influence in our government. You cant walk something like that back as a leader.
I thought “he looks like he’s about to die” 15 years ago. As far as I can tell, he hasn’t changed, so I can’t in good conscience look at Donald Trump and the McConnell meat puppet and tell Bernie he’s not good enough.
Age is age, I’d rather an authentic person over a younger actor
I’d rather we not rely on identity politics as a proxy for the real issues at all. People can come and go, causes do not.
I agree on the authenticity part. I don’t think it should just be someone younger just because they are younger. They should also be progressive, authentic, and willing to put in the work. But I do think it’s important to engage younger voters as well. Also in terms of long term strategy and collaboration, how much of a set back could Bernie passing away do?
AOC or Ro Khana. Bernie in the Senate
Somehow I don’t see an independent being elected by the Democrat electees
Enough of the social cultural emphasis. Our economy and environment needs the attention. We don’t need more controversial people in charge.
Find someone middle of the road. Same goes for the other side. We have two sides of politics and we need to find common ground to find the path to affordability.
You came to the wrong thread, friend.
I remember when Clinton got elected in 1992, and it felt like a breath of fresh air after a dozen years of Reaganism. His Centrist campaign protected him from cries of “bleeding heart liberals” and felt like a safe way to move the country slightly left after Ross Perot split the conservative vote.
“It’s the economy, stupid” was the catch phrase that cemented so many economic conservative policies in place while providing enough of a bare minimum safety net that people stopped pushing for real change. In the meantime Newt Gingrich pushed the party harder to the right and really helped develop the attack-at-all-costs demonization that has gotten us into partisan hell these days.
Finding someone middle of the road in modern times gave us Biden, who made some real changes that proved fleeting and easy for MAGA to sweep away after Trump turned real anger at the stagnant state of affairs into a second victory.
Maybe we need someone controversial that is able to push real and substantial changes to convince people that their lives are getting better instead of slowly slipping into neofeudalism. Someone middle of the road is likely to continue to preserve the status quo that is suffocating the lower classes, which will lead to another authoritarian populist fascist down the line.
I get your point, and yeah common ground and lowering the crazy cost of living are important. I think maybe you’re being downvoted because the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that these days, middle of the road is too far right for many people to be able to support.
“Middle of the road” doesnt actually exist in the US. Thats the real problem. Your DNC middle of the road is unfettered capitalism, no health care, no jobs, no food safety, no care for the environment, Epstein coverage, ICE support, regressive taxation, and funding war crimes. Thats where the middle of the road dems always lead us, and they pretend they are the far left while doing it. They are the right.
Find someone middle of the road.
Bro wants us to go halfway between doing something for the people and doing nothing. Or halfway between helping people and fascism if I’m not reading that charitably (“2 sides of politics.” Cause reality famously only has black and white issues.)
Like c’mon. Social and cultural issues like what? Money out of politics? Healthcare? Education? Public investment? Holding billionaires and the criminal administration accountable? Because that’s what we voted for. And all of those things make things more affordable. ESPECIALLY the accountability part. They’re the whole reason nothing is affordable. The working class needs protections against capitalist bullshit.
Middle of the road rn is S-J
You’re not wrong but they are examples of untrustworthy and corrupt politicians.
Don’t get me wrong, I love AOC and Bernie. We still need 60 votes to get bills passed so we need the R votes. I just want the focus on economy and our land. If they start emphasizing identity politics again we are doomed to have the pendulum swing the other way come 2028.
If they start emphasizing identity politics again we are doomed to have the pendulum swing the other way come 2028.
And there you go. Word for word. The real engine that powers ‘centrists.’ Doesn’t take much to goad it out of them.
Just another ‘enlightened’ rage scroller addict who thinks the trans are taking over and are going to ruin their stupid sport ball game that they’ve never played or watch.
It’s just bigotry. The same brain state of people who “I got nothing against the blacks, but they bring on themselves by being so loud and confrontational.”
Oh yeah man just keep making your most active political activist bloc homeless and poor by not addressing the harm Trump did. You’ll complain about us the whole time but never sit down, shut up, and solve the issue. The pipe IS leaking on social issues and it’s not YOUR economy only, cis cracker.
You do realize having leadership that “works across the aisle” is exactly why we had a focus on identity politics right? It’s was platitudes instead of policy, it was effective at sowing division so that democrats didn’t need to do anything and still take the same money from billionaires and PACs that republicans do. Jeffries and Schumer both take AIPAC, oil, and healthcare insurance lobbying money. They have no incentive to hold anyone to account and make things better for the people. If they did, they’d lose their funding.
You can’t work across the aisle with fascist capitalists. That’s how you get identity politics aimed at stalling and dividing people rather than delivering for them. It’s effective at taking the steam out of real, people first movements.
We have more in common than we don’t. Whether MAGA likes it or not, we’re going to give them healthcare, education, job protection, paid time off by law, and more.
That’s not how it works in the Senate; it’s all seniority. But the House? The Speaker doesn’t even have to be a member.
president pro tempore is the position that is customarily (since the 1940s) given to the most senior senator representing the majority party, and ‘officially’ chosen by the entire chamber. that position is the one that is third in line (behind vp and house speaker) for the white house, and the one that fills-in for the vp for senate duties (except tie-breaking votes) when the vp is absent.
the majority leader is chosen by the members of the majority party only. they speak for and represent the party and their office also deals with administrative and scheduling duties, including controlling the flow of legislation through the chamber. it is considered the most powerful position in congress.
The majority leader is voted in with a secret ballot so the Senate can absolutely remove schumer as majority leader, it could be any Senate member if they wanted
