I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working
The Democratic Party is struggling to register voters and raise money ahead of the 2026 midterms, when the party hopes to win back the House.
You know what the funniest part of this is? In this report on the DNC—an entity that exists solely to raise money—has failed utterly at raising money, it is not ever suggested, not even remotely alluded to the very idea, that maybe either/both of the men pictured above should lose their job over it.
Schumer and DNC chair Ken Martin need to go now.
I also would like to get paid to do nothing and to promise I will do nothing in the future.
Sending out dnc donation requests via text message from James Carville made me shudder and quickly delete.
Now, if David Hogg was still with the dnc and allowed to pursue candidates that could primary fossilized dems, I'd be waaaay more likely to pull out my wallet.
It's almost like people want policy not platitudes but I do hope they keep paying think tanks to tell them how to be more like MAGA instead of challenging their corporate overlords in any way. Great times
lol
Maybe if Dem Senators didn’t vote to support Bobby Brainworm for head of HHS, it would be easier to raise money.
because fuck these assholes
What else can they do? Thanks to the daftness of USA voters in 2024, Trump/GOP have full control of all three Houses. Dems can only "do something" when they have enough votes to pass anything, which they do when in power, unlike the do nothing Republicans who do even less when in power than without.
It's almost like folks need their money for stuff.
Gee, wonder why $$ not glowing into Dem coffers. Could it be “leaders” are tone deaf and complacent with traditional politics instead of meeting the moment?
I've been saying it for years: We really need young progressives to primary these cowardly fossils.
Is this article suggesting that the dual messages of "fascists have reasonable concerns" and "better things aren't possible" hasn't worked out?
Cause of these two fuk ups.
bluntly put: The Democrat Party NEEDS to embrace the left, or be left behind.
Continuously “voting blue no matter who” seems to have only benefited Trump.
compare/contrast with mamdani
i don’t think it’s the party per se BUT PARTICULAR PEOPLE IN IT
this just in a group that struggles to do anything struggles to do something
The Democrats who have been doing town hall meetings in Republican districts and the one who are speaking out with the loudest voices against Trump and his autocratic machine (like Gavin Newsom) are doing the best in fundraising. The ones who are delivering Pablum comments about the economy aren’t.
I cannot think of two less appealing people than these jokers
what, you mean that joe and eileen bailey haven’t donated yet?
Merrick Garland, Jamie Gorelick, and the truth
Get off your ass and run for office
Because we don’t want to vote for Schumer - ever again!
An elderly neighbor hadn't voted in 40 years. He registered online & was grinning ear to ear when he received his acknowledgement postcard. 💙💙 Think positive, he & we #elderlywhitehippies got lots of protesting experience too!
I am not sure that I want to fund a party whose sole running point is "we aren't the other guy". This is all they have run on for decades.
Way to nail it!!!
They need to step aside.
Tbf, it’s the point. The Democrat establishment is in on it. You can’t watch everything that’s happened, and how they haven’t fought against any of it and believe otherwise
That might be the strongest argument for New Democratic Party leadership. Schumer and Jeffries only hold their positions because of proximity to Wall Street, and the ability to raise money.
Duh!
Personally I think that's how things should be with party. It's progressive members and independents banding together as a new party would elicit more vote's!
Well, they’ve been without a coherent, coordinated message since February so this isn’t surprising. The Dem party leadership should be ashamed. I won’t give anyone a dime until I see their potential for fighting for our democracy. They’re weak, ineffective people who deserve to lose (at this point).
B/C they're sitting on their butts & not using our laws against this illegal administration....
This picture needs to be replaced with one showing two new Democratic leaders with stones.
They're like this in a lot of different regards; in terms of how they and associated PACs fundraise there's a ton of behavior so shortsighted and manipulative as to be malpractice. In a sane, well-ran party, things like Mothership wouldn't exist.
data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-mother...
How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.
I'm still going to vote for Democrats, but the only reason I do that is because they're not Republicans. I think the same is true for most Democratic voters. It would not surprise me at all if they fail to flip the House.
Cool. It's that baseball bat kid! He's awesome.
Republicans are winning the war. We're all in a daze just trying to figure out how to counter what Trump & Repubs are doing. They're firing on all cylinders. We don't know where to hide just hoping it will all go away. We never seem to be working on offense. Always defense. We need new leadership.
It’s almost as if there’s a social media site full of engaged Dems giving free opinions every day on what they want to see.
Do nothing - while at the same time sending me texts to raise more money so you can continue to do nothing
I got a fundraising text from Hassan who’s term doesn’t expire until 2029 saying she “needs funds to fight back against Trumpism” as if she doesn’t ALREADY HAVE THE JOB AND ISN’T DOING 💩
Because @schumer.senate.gov is a feckless sack of horse shit masquerading as a man! RESIGN! RESIGN! RESIGN!
it is a tilted stage but hey let's blame the actors for stumbling
Schumer raises cash from his VERY narrow following. His pro Israeli crap must go.
WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American pe...
I still feel like they don’t understand we want younger and better communicators! Stop asking me for money and take some actions that get me excited to support! And be the actual big tent party so support progressive candidates too!
I see they both are still making stupid things come out of those pie holes!
Look if I really do have to die in an internment camp or something, I at least hope that before I go I can enjoy watching these bozos’ heads get blown clean off on live television.
Here's what needs to be done. Not by the party itself but by nonprofit orgs. Political parties do nothing unless pushed.
The GOP, e.g., only does what it's doing bc Right Wing billionaires like Murdoch & Mercer--not the party itself--have pushed it hard.
upine.medium.com/time-to-solv...
A large percentage of our nation’s voters are immersed in Right Wing propaganda. What’s the solution? We should
PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THESE TWO FUCKIN IDIOTS.... PRIMARY THESE TWO WORTHLESS DICKHEADS THE FUCK OUT OF THE PARTY !!!!!
You don't expect them to risk their position as controlled opposition in the MAGA occupational government, do you?
Here's the thing - we're done with Democrats who want business as usual, because those Democrats have failed us by being cowards. They failed us by not standing up for the people, so we reject all weak, spineless, corporate, special- interest funded toadies. We want progressive, fearless candidates.
Maybe if they wrote us all a strongly worded letter that would solve the issue!
bet progressives arn't
The two poster children for pathetic.
Schumer and Jeffries should resign in disgrace.
Stop playing by the rules- we need action before it’s too late.
We need to look at the Dems that are running right now, who are refusing to use PAC funds. Grass roots campaigns. Word of mouth. Not $$$$$ ads on TV. The old guard Dems are done. Do Nothing Dems are done. They are so blind they just don't see they are the reason for all of this today.
If only there were inspirational national Democratic leaders instead of these 2 & the rest bribed by AIPAC into enabling a fascist genocide & a normalizing podcaster trolling California governor who was married to Trump Jr's ex, now putting on a show for us amidst silence.
The Democratic Party is struggling to register voters and raise money ahead of the 2026 midterms, when the party hopes to win back the House.
Shipping weapons to Israel is not "nothing"
Democrats text spam has gotten so bad most people are blocking them. Rein-in the consultants if you want supporters, Dems.
maybe they should ask Zohran for some tips
I told Jeffries to fuck off today, thanks for reminding me I should have told Schumer too. #StopTheGenocide
Maybe if you didn’t get 10 hyperbolic fundraising texts a day after you donate people wouldn’t be as hesitant to donate again.
Also, if they’re going to attack a Dem nominee because he dares to suggest something like free buses, I’ll donate directly to that candidate instead of any larger group.
I hate to say it, but we may be f@cked for a really long time.
NOT SURPRISED AT ALL
Maybe grow a set and get your shit together
Those men are both losers and we have get rid of them. They have led us into a dead end alley we will have to fight our way out of. Possibly LITERALLY fight our way out of.
their plan, as they have said it, is to do nothing and hope that trump has so thoroughly fucked up this country that they win 2026 by default. unfortunately, they'll probably be proven correct. of course, predicated on the suffering and deaths of millions of people
Because they have the wrong leadership.
It bums me out that no I won’t send $5 to someone in a race that could use it cuz I’m not sending $ to any of these fukkers until they recognize their incompetence in the face of this fascist reality.
If they got rid of Chuck and some of those old assholes would leave & they all start stepping up & fighting like Gavin, OAC, Pete & Jasmine - maybe things would change.
I believe Democratic Socialism is the only way we have a future where people have ANY power against the growing AI dystopian corporate oligarchy.
These two clowns 🤡 I’d no sooner give them money than Trump.
I gave and gave and gave for the election last year, but as soon as the election was over and I realized they were just running the next race and not genuinely fighting for our democracy, I stopped giving altogether except one or two organizations that are really fighting.
Shumer needs to step down.
The Republicans have convinced with the help of the media that they have their base best interests in mind. All the problems of our country are because migrants take away their jobs and benefits. They will need to go through a lot of pain before they understand the truth.
GET GRAMPS OUT OF THERE!
Well maybe if you followed AOC and Jasmine Crocket’s lead, you’d have better fortunes.
Talk with the Baileys if it isn’t clear.
Who could have guessed that voters wouldn't want to donate to a party that they feel is currently betraying them and failing to take their concerns seriously in spite of a sustained public outcry?
So why would people not register to vote? Our country is on fire, we need all of us! Don’t like the democrats, Think about what NOT voting did to us, we lost not just an election we lost a country! Fucking register and fucking vote or start learning Russian.
The current Dem leadership is an abysmal clutch of limp lettuce & weakness, sautéd in dreary letters, ineffective orders, edicts, proclamations, & effete solipsisms.
They’re myopic, out of touch, missing the point, & can’t smell smoke of a raging fire at their feet.
It’s a national embarrassment
How’s Newsome doing?
Really? That is unbelievable.
Maybe we do….
Mutt and Jeff.
Wake up @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Long past time to step aside for leaders who know how to fight for US instead of for AIPAC!!!
@dfl.org take notes you cucks
We need a more diverse and younger leadership in Democratic Party. New fresh ideas and to fight like hell. Those old days of bipartisan are gone. Be like the maga no rules. I am 72 white woman and ready for a change. 🫶
I used to give Dems thousands. Never again.
Weird, cause Mamdani and Newsom and Crockett seem to be doing ok. Maybe ask them for a hint.
These are the same complancent leaders that allowed Trump to reconstitute power. They will do it again too if they regain control. Sure some bluster but mostly move on and get back to business as usual. Demand demilitarization, demand fair tax, demand healthcare, demand justice.
In fairness, they got a good run out of "surrendering at the slightest hint of opposition so you can whine about the failure being the other guy's fault". It's just that that one stopped working and they're all out of ideas.
I changed my registration to @workingfamilies.org
They are paid to do nothing. The bag men deliver the thousands and they deliver the inaction.
@schumer.senate.gov do you see? You are the problem, not the solution. You need to retire and give us a chance. Stop your ego from helping destroy democracy. Quit and be gone.
These two chucklefucks need be shot into the sun. Beat it, nerds.
@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please resign.
Not surprised they have no interest in appealing to what is their supposed base. They are still chasing the mythical fiscal conservative that is begrudgingly accepting of gay marriage and would like some ethnic friends, but despises the poor, trans people, refugees, and unions.
And magats don’t mind corruption or pedophilia so they’re still firm in trumps pocket
Primary the MFs
chuck can hit up his friends in israel.
They both need to go - Jeffries is not what we need at this moment … his childish memes and his inadequate talking points aren’t working
We need fighters
They have made registration impossibly difficult in Florida. Even signing for VBM is hard..how many people know what signature they used years ago when they registered..signatures need to match.
These men ARE the problem. We actually have a great bench, lots of younger fighters, but we saw what happened to @davidhogg.bsky.social
Because they are naive, scared, and weak. Plus they got many fucking old geezers at the top. Let’s replace them with young and progressive Dems like AOC and Crockett.
Hopefully, they get surprised by how many lose their primaries
First things first.
Give back all of the AiPAC money-then maybe folks will throw yall a couple bucks
Until you call it a genocide you get nothing
Spend this time looking for a new job.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov
Exactly let’s do nothing to prove to voters they have earned our votes. How long will it take for them to wake up and realize they need to hit the pavement? Another election?
The fact that Schumer still has a job just shows the democratic party is a joke.
First thing on the agenda should be to fire this old useless fuck
The blueprint was drawn up on April 19, 1775. Dems need to unite, follow it, and take action. WORDS DON'T MATTER!! ACTION MATTERS!!
Sitting in their offices doing nothing while Trump burns the country to the ground doesn’t bring in the voters?
Surprising.
Newsom and Pritzker have done more in the past month to resist than these two have in 6 months (and probably more). The game has changed and these two want to resist THAT. As said in a previous post, these two are NOT serving the people but their donors.
It’s because they failed their voters. The Constitutionally disqualified, illegitimate, corrupt, Russian asset, political thief, pedophile, criminal felon & his cronies & enablers all need to go now! #TrumpMustGoNow #PedoTrump #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #StrongerTogether bsky.app/profile/tara...
Registered as a Democrat in 1977. Reregistered as no party affiliation and deleted my ActBlue info after Schumer screwed the pooch on the CR in March. Had some hope for Jeffries then, but now see it was misbegotten. Have hope for some of the new age candidates (Turek in Iowa, Platner in Maine).
So this is not appealing to you? Ageist! Racist! Antisemite!
morons
Fundraising and voter registration are just distractions from kitchen table inaction.
These two are why I deregistered as a Democrat in February. Fecklessness is not resistance.
the DSCC and the DCCC are the fundraising vehicles for the DNC.
The current Democratic Party just is NOT working. Some individuals are.
Schumer, Jeffries, and most of the Dem establishment are inert and pathetic. Beholden to AIPAC and the billionaires who fund MAGA. And when a potential star like Mamdani or AOC appears, they do everything they can to sabotage them. Dem “leadership” needs to be flushed down the toilet
We need to vote out the entire Old Guard... they are beholden to their billionaire overlords... the American people be damned.
I'd like their resignations on my desk by Sunday evening. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, two New York DEM politicians, can’t be the face of a main opposition party. Specially Schumer with his god awful reading glasses.
Ok, I’ve posted about this under a few comments about the texting. 99.9% of the texts aren’t coming from “the DNC” or even legit campaigns. Be very wary of fundraising texts! If you want to give to ANYONE give directly thru their website. The actual DNC should shout this from the rooftops.
How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.
People phone bank and knock on doors and buy yard signs when they believe in—and feel pride for—a candidate’s policy positions. That’s your job! Being “not Trump” isn’t enough and I don’t know how long it will take for these two dry, simpering fucks to figure that out.
Get out of the way and let the young people govern you old f@rts (this from a 77 year old liberal in a red state).
Because they no longer represent the people and haven’t for twenty years.
I mean yeah they’re feckless and irritating but it seems like if we’re trying to avoid a one party dictatorship we’ll need at least two parties
Yeah I keep replying STOP to their money asks.
CHUCK SCHUMER AND HAKEEM JEFFRIES SOLD US OUT. F THEM
Schumer inspires zero confidence.
Lol
They're not only doing nothing, they're smugly doing nothing.
You seem to have been spending your time fighting the fascist party by frowning and harrumphing at them. Why are you surprised this is affecting the eagerness of people to give you money & advocate for you to do more nothing?
Doing nothing has consequences. Fuck any so called leader of the collaboration party.
Dems have the same problem now as they had during the election, they are not telling the American people how they intend to make American lives better. This is politics 101, kitchen table issues and apparently the old farts are still not able to grasp this simple truth. Run the young, can the old.
Beavis and Butthead
Complete failure in a message or action that is so needed at this time. The Dems will get no money from me. The leadership of the dems are no different then the republican leadership. It’s a club and they want to stay part of it so they basically have said and done nothing.
They're useless, but I'd give each of them a dollar, maybe even two-- if they pull their thumbs out of their asses, throw Cuomo on the garbage heap where he belongs and f**king endorse Mamdani, like a real Democrat would.
I think after the Clinton/Trump fiasco, I stopped giving $ to any of the Dem "organizations". I give to the candidates I support. Bernie, AOC, Liz Warren, Katie Porter, etc., etc. Show me you can DO something, I'll chip in. DNC, DCCC, whatever-- a bunch of useless, spamming assholes.
When these two speak, I can't for the life of me figure out who they're talking to.
They might want to stop texting me, and I assume every other person who ever donated to a Democrat through ActBlue - 20 times a day, no matter how many times you delete and mark as spam, or text 'Stop' back. That's a great starting point.
People want new candidates. We're also tired of the work that goes into these people creating these baby steps to the next one. The biggest one is term limits. More roles need limits to continue to get new blood in. Also, because of Tariff's wallets are tight right now.
Another dumb cunt who only criticizes Dems GFYS
Guess they should have put trump in jail instead of sending strongly worded letters. Maybe people would have some respect for a party willing to stand up for law and order.
“We sold out our base to the big corporations and now they won’t give us any of their hard earned.” 😿
Could it be the Democratic Party died and they just don’t know it? They have been rather pathetic since Obama; bad management is at the top of the list, followed by aging politicians who don’t want to give up their cushy lives.
Lots of Dems are fighting, and then there is the congressional leadership. They are completely useless at this point and must be replaced. We need an uprising to get rid of Trump, but first, we need one to get rid of these two and their lackeys.
It's like the leadership of the party just totally gave up after the election. The hardest campaign work they are doing is fighting against the people really getting ahead (such as Mamdani).
@kenmartin.bsky.social was the worst possible choice for the party.
There is still time for him to resign and save this mess.
@democrats.org need to run left, and get younger.. fast.
Instead, they're fighting hard to elect Cuomo..
I'm 52, and I'm not giving to the party until Ken is gone.
We need new leadership in both houses of Congress. These two have been immobilized, old school and feckless in the past 7 months.
Well, it’s not an election year, dummies!
Yeah, but would you like their inaction more if it was ALL CAPS? Seems like Newsom does all-caps and no one remembers his abuses of California voters that can't afford housing.
Schumer hasn’t figured out HE is the top reason NOBODY wants to donate. I certainly won’t.
Good,they need to do better
The election was last November and still the democrats are operating without a strong leader as head of the party to fight the authoritarian orangutan…Schumer and Jeffries are just a couple of wet lettuce leaves and the wrong ones to take on that fight.
Democratic politicians everywhere need to understand something: the massive support you're seeing right now for Texas House Democrats would be the support you'd easily get, too, if you were willing to fight back aggressively instead of navel-gazing and talking about "norms."
Martin was ticked off Hoag was 'shaking things up' and what happened...they let him go. Can someone please tell me what the hell Martin is doing to change this around? When he was voted in I remember everyone was saying Ben Wikler would have been a much better choice. Martin is running out of time.
Maybe another strongly worded letter will do the trick.
Have they considered enforcing the 14th amendment?
I don't even care how they do it. The amendment itself doesn't seem to care how it's enforced either.
Stupid, lazy fuckers want to lead from behind. Do nothing but write sternly worded letters to people that don't give a shit. The only thing they've done in the past 2 years was convince Biden to drop out and take my vote away.
I knew they looked familiar.
Not Newsom! Now before you go all holy on me, is he perfect - hardly. Can he change, not sure but will keep an open mind - we need FIGHTERS, not hand- ringing, letter writing, coattail riding feckless reps! At least his team can deliver…
They are getting it now. I donated my butt off last election-I knew what trump would unleash. My issue: Get rid of the old guard AND that no leader even mentioned the 200 "Russian" bomb threats or fought to have even 1 recount/audit. No$ from me. I needed someone to fight, they laid down and took it
They aren’t really politicians, they are political functionaries who do only whats laid out in the constitution. The constitution says the prez does x + y and congress does z + w, so they do that and ONLY that. They don’t build power outside their offices, they dont build movements. They are uesless
The economics of begging and asking for money constantly and getting placed on every Dem candidates communication list is exhausting, and all while never asking for your input on anything.
Actblue, SUCKS! It ignores your communication and privacy settings, and gives your data out to everyone!
Well, as far as I can see, the Democrats remain strongly committed to saying little or nothing, doing little or nothing, and keeping the voters confused, at best, about what they actually believe. Why would anyone who pays attention be motivated to give them money or even register as a member?
they're busy with their books.
Impotent. Clueless. Totally unaware of where they lost the plot or the depths of the actual danger. Incredibly frustrating
If only Dem centrists actually cared about the law when Merrick Garland gave Trump a free pass. The only thing centrists want to do is blame others for their pathetic cowardice.
Well with heroes like "18%" Schumer and do-nothing Jeffries I don't know why a party that ignores it's members and loses EVERYTHING is having a hard time recruiting.
The DNC is broke. Their desperate pleas for money so they can sit in their offices is rightfully falling on deaf ears. #newdemos
oh so now who wants a pony?
I personally was horrified the way Harris and Biden just walked away from a fraudulent election saying nothing and leaving the people to be destroyed by a mobster - so I get this
They aren't doing nothing - they are busy fawning over & supporting Netanyahu. (Photo July of this year.)
Somebody please explainhow Dem Senators who fawn over a genocidal war criminal &give him our tax $$ are somehow better & more moral than GOP Senators who fawn over traitor & pedophile Trump.
That's right, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @democrats.org Do-nothing=Get-nothing
You all refused to push against Israel's $$ interests and delivered an authoritarian POTUS as a result. Fuck you. What will I lose by withholding donations? MORE nothing?
"But we'we da onwy way to defeat Mistew Twump, silly goats!"
Come the fuck on, stand up and fight you bunch of pussy ass “leaders” or we will replace all of you with people who will.
Can you donate to me
The one thing they have to do is fight. Fight everything the Republicans do. All the time. That's the one thing they're not doing.
In the dictionary, under the definition of Political Incompetent and illustration of the two pictured above.
Schumer and Jeffries...no excitement, no inspiration, no fight. Just dull.
Those 2 are the poster boys why they can't do things.
German press describes Democrats as “wachsweich”, meaning weak and submissive. Who would follow them?
Of course they are, what do you expect when the leaders are corporate lackeys like Schumer and Jeffries! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social
Term limits. These guys will stay at the trough of grid until they die. They know what’s happening and guess what they use that knowledge for, to raise money. Money is the only thing that matters.
As a life long dem, I won’t give another penny to the current wandering in the dark leadership in Washington.
