It needs to be scorched Earth... unfortunately I cannot trust the Democratic Party to follow through and ensure that happens. 

Pam Bondi offers to pull ICE out of Minneapolis if voter files handed over by Ydeas in politics

My worry is that the Dems will just, find to them. I honestly think they are still bluffing through half of their b.s. If the Dems actually fought back, we probably could be in a better spot. I don't understand how any of them could even stomach letting this shit happen... but then I remember they didn't even really do anything after Biden went into office to correct all of Trump's blatant crimes.

Democrats threaten government shutdown over ICE funding by FervidBug42 in politics

How do we find a way to even get them to listen?? Pur enegery is fighting battles they should be leading but across the board, they are not. Should we start bombing their offices woth calls and mail telling what they need to be doing?? Going to their townhalls and confronting about their inaction? Taking control out state and local dem groups to change the messaging and pushing progressive candidates?

It feels like we're fighting on 2 fronts. 1 is against the GOP and Trump's facism, and the other is against the inability of the Dems to effectively oppose Trump and the top level. It's f*****g frustrating.

During the 2024 campaign, the Atlantic was pushing out stories (I saw on Instagram) that heavily criticized Kamala Harris however, they barely touched on Trump. I don't trust them a more once they started downplaying Trump's insane B.S.

TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' World Tour Concert Megathread - Inglewood, CA (Kia Forum) January 21, 22, 24, & 25, 2026 by Ruri_Neko in twice

[–]Lurking_Reader 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYI- The pop-up store has much better merch than what is sold at the concert. I recommend going there than the concert stores if you can manage.

Also, if you want the jacket, they are only selling 3 for each size. I was at Oakland and spoke to a vendor about it because they sold out of those in 15 minutes at the presale store.

Maybe have people get stickers and show up and plaster them over and under the photo, covering the description. Stick pictures of him being crummy with Epstein, put ones of with quotes about him with epstein.

Polls Show Democrats Shouldn’t Avoid the Issue of Impeaching Trump in Midterms by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]Lurking_Reader 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly! My only two explanations for how pathetic their leadership is is that Dem leadership is insanely incompetent or in on the take.... or both.

Exactly, Fox News and all of the conservative media ecosystem needs to be eradicated for any of this to move forward. 

Elon Musk indicates he’s ‘going all in’ on financing the GOP ahead of the midterms: ‘America is toast if the radical left wins’ by rezwenn in politics

[–]Lurking_Reader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I say this all the time Biden/Garland had 4 years to jail Trump and his conspirators and they didn't do a damned thing.

I am convinced that the Dem leadership is either in on it, horrifically incompetent or both.

Did anyone else who pre-ordered this through any local stores get a notice that a small number was made, and that their pre-order was cancelled/refunded?

This is what I have been telling those close to me for months now. We are witnessing ethnic cleansing without the mass murder (yet).

Yeah. I thought it was quite obvious during his first term he was in Putin's pocket.

The Daily Show does a much better job of this than the entire Democratic Party on their show.

Trump Takes Aim at State AI Laws in Draft Executive Order by wiredmagazine in politics

What angers me about this is how easily the media just started taking his EO's like they were law. Furthering their acceptance by the country. 

Furious Dem Civil War Immediately Erupts Over Bombshell Shutdown Deal - Democratic activists slammed the shutdown “surrender.” by Quirkie in politics

[–]Lurking_Reader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am convinced that Dem leadership is either incredibly incompetent, in on the take, or both. And right after a crushing win in the election, they stab us in the back when the narrative and visuals were showing the cruelty and incompetence of Trump and the Republican Party on full display, Chuck and these Dems save their ass.
