I know Democrats are overwhelmed (or rudderless, if you are less charitable) by the sheer volume of Trump authoritarian moves, but I’d like to see them unified behind specific goals like “RFK Jr is a threat to public health and needs to go.”

Here’s the problem: Trump digs in when confronted & media lets him get away with it. Voters are extremely short attention spanned which allows him to drag it out. The right has extremely well messaged propaganda outfits that block & deflect his supporters from hearing alternatives. Ex: Epstein List
-
If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear the strategy is to let RFK Jr. kill off half the Republican voter base with blatant ignorance of health and win that way.
-
Why aren’t they even TALKING!!!?
At the very least there should be a public legislative analysis of the intent/effect/facts behind
every single executive order.
So people can unite and act.
-
Or how about they just do anything.
-
Democrats are not overwhelmed! We are not rudderless! We are unified! We are taking political offices in places that have been held by republicans for years (13) We will take the midterms and impeach convict and remove Trump! We will take the House of Representatives and remove Mike Johnson!
-
That would be because they simply do not care and are excited about what fascism and wide spread disease could mean for their stock portfolio
-
Rudders are what you call milk cows when they’re a little inflamed from overuse
-
they shoulda filibustered - pointing out what he believes for 20-30 hours on the senate floor would have garnered useful press coverage - sure, his confirmation was basically inevitable but if you're gonna do public stunts, a focused one like that is good politics and even suggests they care.
-
I'm game. RFK Jr. has even been a threat to his own health most of his life.
-
How hard can it be to agree on a simple statement of principles? We believe in: Democracy, free and fair elections, the rule of law, the general welfare of the public, science, health care, justice, education, a community of nations, human rights. It's not like we don't have historical examples.
-
I'm going to keep saying it as it becomes clear as a Blue Rose, their conflict of interest from being AIPAC paid to protect Netanyahu is preventing them from openly opposing the fascist threat here. Facilitating & supporting a genocide forces them to ignore our reality.
-
Dems: We'll get the focus grouped messaging in a couple of weeks and write a STRONGLY worded letter at a time and place of our choosing.
-
Seems like a fine place to actually start instead of sputtering along doing zip.

85k followers could occupy a lot of government buildings.
Be a leader. Lead your followers.

What?!? Next you'll be telling us that whale head juice is not a good treatment for the plague!
-
unfollowed. you're not helpful. don't need you.
-
Yeah but that would distract Jeffries from bashing Mamdani and photoshopping Instagram pics
-
I've always thought that his tenure would be measured in Scaramuccis. He isn't a devoted Trump true believer and he has nothing of value to offer Trump going forward. The debt arising from last year's endorsement has been paid in full through the HHS appointment, so no need to keep him on.
-
Nope.
All efforts. All. Need to be focused on a free and fair election. If democrats don’t win, its over permanently.
-
You dont seem to be afraid enough. You do not negotiate with terrorists.
Maga has committed to full on war.
The only solution is to balkanize. Blue states are being taxed and illegally being denied funds. We should balkanize. Without negotiation leverage, they will keep taking.
-
They cannot fight their way out of a paper bag. Makes you wonder if some of them like what they see
-
Wait a darn minute, I think they've made some bipartisan progress on sunscreen.
-
There should not be a nut in charge of public health seems like an obvious thing, yet.
-
just get Cheryl under oath about RFK's steroid dealer
-
"...go into a steel box and abandoned."
-
Yes, but. Sadly it is unavoidable, yet again, that the Midterms and General are going to be about preventing Trump from running again. Or if not Trump, perhaps due to health reasons, then a Trump subservient stand-in like family or loyalists.
-
-
It's so obvious that RFK Jr, et al, are trying to kill us. On purpose. Dems should be all over this. Why are they such cowards?
-
Thank goodness for @murray.senate.gov but where the hell is Schumer?

Sign the IMPEACH RFK Citizens' Petition to Congress — STAND UP FOR SCIENCE
Join with us to sign our Citizens' Petition to the US Congress to choose the people over Trump and Impeach RFK Jr Now!
-
Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do.
-
"Stop killing kids" would be a great unifying platform for the Dems, if only they could buck the donors who need a legislated safe space to kill kids to make their billions.
-
It’s feels like spitting in the wind. The old guard can’t, won’t listen to new voices- won’t let them rise. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @bera.house.gov @dorismatsui.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov
-
I think this is doable because there is no way Trump isn’t creeped out by that freak too.
-
How bout: Trump is a treat to humanity, his appointees are merely lemmings doing his biding and they all need to go!
-
Get a signature win seems like a good first step.
-
Fantastic start.
RFK Jr. is a fail son loon and danger to millions.
-
But that would be falling for the DISTRACTIONS.
-
Murray is 'doing something' bsky.app/profile/murr...
-
I wish they would hire you.
-
The "he's a brain-damaged heroin addict" narrative should have been enough to stop him.
-
i'm going to guess that @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social think this is just "distraction" too.
-
I'd like to know what, specifically they're afraid of against MAHA. RFK Jr. has no constituency, no history of elected office, and no medical knowledge whatsoever. He has a track record of 70 years of behaving personally like a lunatic. And nobody trusts this regime on health issues. Easy out.
-
I think the Democrats are unified against RFK Junior. But what can they do about it? They don’t even have the ability to lead an investigation in Congress. The only path forward is to campaign for the upcoming house elections
-
They voted to confirm him!
-
Quit standing up for them while they fail at the most crucial time in history If they won't stop Trump y'all fucked And Dems aren't stopping Trump So y'all are fucked mmkay Day one of tariffs should have been the end Senate controls tariffs not executive orders
-
After trump1, to be this clueless and unprepared to challenge trump2 is just pathetic
-
Shouldn’t we all be focusing on the rising price of cantaloupes?
-
They don't even need to do it themselves. There are left wing influencers who could agree to use the phrase of the day. This isn't hard. But it is.
-
AIPAC is neither here nor there on this issue, and insurance companies don’t want to pay for hospitalizations if they can help it.
There is zero fucking excuse for congressional Democrats not to get on board with this, no matter what kind of funding they receive.
-
Calling them rudderless is being nice, I'm not sure at this point that they could name the day of the week
-
many people are now saying this www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
‘An existential threat’: US health workers call Robert F Kennedy Jr a risk to public health
More than 750 health workers say Kennedy’s misinformation fuels violence and endangers lives

-
Dem leadership is clueless, sadly. We need new leaders now. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
-
Like, can we even start pandering to the crowd (who, some were lying) about feeling economically burdened that shit has not gotten one iota better, in fact it is getting slightly worse… can we start pushing that narrative as well. Hard.
-
It is the absolute lack of coordinated leadership that I find most unforgivable among them. Schumer and Jeffries should step aside if they can’t lead.
-
They are neither overwhelmed nor rudderless. They simply do not have significant objections to anything that is happening.
-
Good like with reckless old men like Schumer in charge who exists only to protect his power and 250k+ a year salary.
-
THANK you. It's insane, but they gotta prioritize.
-
or to be even less charitable they have a rudder it's just pointed in the wrong direction
-
Picking a target that feels vulnerable and putting all your might behind it is not only a good way to get people onside, it’s a great mirror image to the right wing’s same approach.
-
The response writes itself except Dems won't see it 😪💔
-
Their consultants: "recalculating..."
-
Democratic leadership might as well be the GOP.
-
Too negative. They need to focus on kitchen table issues.
Which issues are those, you ask? That question is a distraction from kitchen table issues
