Democrats, It's Time to Bring a Bazooka to the Knife Fight
Texas Republicans just obeyed King Trump and voted to gerrymander the state and steal 5 House Seats. Will Democrats finally step up and fight, or will they continue to be civil, timid, and impotent?
Bazooka! Now you're talking. Newsom is showing elected Dems how it is done, but most still haven't a clue. Fight or lose again.
That's rhetorical, right?
Support NEWSOM in his fight. I’m so sick of people criticizing him.
Wouldn't it be something if those districts still voted blue
Democrats need to stop talking and start doing.
People need to realize we are already in a civil war and we are losing because we are being civil. That just doesn't work in war. If we want to win and avoid oppression we need to do things differently. Freedom isn't free, there is always a cost.
Every blue state needs to do this. Unfortunately here in NC we have a Democratic governor but a traitor legislature.
We have to literally fight.
What California needs to do right now as part of rescuing the United States is to redistrict the state as Texas is doing and freeze out the Republicans in the state
And my reply to those who think it wrong? I think it was a Texan who said, "Never bring a knife to a gun fight"
I’ve been asking that same question to @chuckschumer.com and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social all I see are sad speeches on the Senate floor and crazy hand gestures.
this is the real question. It is far past time the kid gloves come off and we start swinging hard.
Traitors. They’re traitors. Vichy. Quislings.
Treason like this is stupidly common throughout history. Pedestrian. Boring.
Question is why we haven’t thrown them out of our party from a high window.
They’re basically holding the organization needed to defeat Trump hostage and off the table.
They ain’t going to do shit
LETS ROLL CALIFORNIA! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 YES TO REDISTRICTING! @governor.ca.gov @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @robertgarcia.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @genzforchange.org @50501movement.bsky.social
The terrifying part is when they locked the Democratic representative in the House chamber until she signed a permission slip, giving them the ability to have her escorted from place to place. She didn’t sign, but regardless, they forced an escort on her in order to know she didn’t leave Texas.
If you still haven't guessed the answer after all these years, you might actually be part of the problem.
The day democracy died.
Gavin so far is all talk and no action He can do more than 5 seats as well
We need to stop being the nice guys who play by the same rules as before. There are no rules anymore. We're literally fighting for democracy!!
Well, first of all it's not a knife fight. It hasn't been a knife fight for a VERY long time. They've been kidnapping us, shooting us, beating us, and torturing us. We've been responding with kid gloves: peaceful protests, memes, lawsuits, and a lot of other ineffective, feel-good nonsense.
Newsom, Hochul, Pritzker have stepped up. Where is Wes Moore? Jared Polis? There are several with full Democratic state control. Why have we only heard from three of them?
No. It's time to start bringing guns and handcuffs because they are committing atrocities in an attempt to foment a genocide and have already staged a coup de etat. Time to start putting fascists in cages, hold trials, and put them against the wall.
A - freaking - men Every time I say something like this, though, I get hate mail from democrats!
When you know what you stand for you know what to fight for. The only way it could be more humiliating is not to fight to have Trump removed from the office he never had the right to hold.
How do you suggest they fight?
