  1. You’re in the middle of a fascist coup with threats of violence in their playbook. How about a performative vice chair position with no power for a young person? Also his only agenda is disarming you and gun control, yes even in the midst of a fascist coup.

    Don’t forget to donate to actblue, citizen!

  2. But that’s not what Americans *voted for*. They voted for the same old voices.

  3. You have the RICHEST PERSON IN THE WORLD now given nearly unfettered access to US treasury systems. Bringing in his own servers and copying files. Sharing information with people who then post screenshots of it on social media. Empowering college kids who were interning at his companies to come in and give orders to government workers with decades of service under multiple administrations who were tasked with PROTECTING data of Americans, American businesses, and then leaving the room while Elon’s minions do whatever they want.

    Vocally and publicly making an issue out of this should be a fucking SLAM DUNK. This isn’t even like Trump’s Ukraine call and trying to convince people how serious it was and what he was doing. This is something involving people and businesses and churches and charities in the United States.

  4. Then why the hell did they vote in trump? He’s old af and has already been president . People voted for an old voice.

  5. As a lifelong Democrat, I have seen my share of highs and lows but I have never witnessed anything like this. The Party is in shambles. There is no clear leader and the messaging is weak. It is time to think outside the box when going after Elonald and their minions. Strongly worded letters and emails are useless. AOC is one of the few who understands how out of touch the Party is with the majority of Americans. Someone has to step up and aggressively push back before it’s too late.

  6. None of these Democrats can do anything if they wanted to. There is one guy holding up some appointments, and Bernie/AOC/Crockett/and Jamie Raskin are the only ones shouting into the void for help. 

    It’s fair to say that these are the current leaders of the Democrat Party

  7. I don’t know. I’ve seen them join protests, have press conferences, post several press releases. Strange how there’s this sudden dogpiling on the Democrats *now* from the media and other people.

    When they were in power, I can get it. Why **now**? Hey America. If 18 million of you didn’t stay home, we would have avoided this situation. If you listened to the warnings, this wouldn’t be happening.

    But no you elected Republicans to ALL branches of the federal government. You put them in power again. You elected an insurrectionist and a convicted felon.

    I’m not saying Democrats are perfect. They have flaws but goddamn. It’s time for the American people to take some responsibility. This is what you voted for. Now reap what you sow.

  8. Spare me with the bullshit. Americans said they wanted someone who isn’t old as hell to run for president. Americans still picked the 78-year-old guy who can’t speak a coherent sentence over the 60 year old woman.

    Americans want new voices? The DNC elected 24 year old David Hogg as vice chair.

    Please tell me more and more how democrats aren’t listening.

    Sounds more like not passing some personalized purity tests

  9. The fact that 74 year old Chuck Schumer is the face of the Democratic Resistance in Congress tells you have fucked the party and this Country are.

  10. Yep seeing a bunch of uber wealthy boomer dems, smiling and laughing in their warm expensive wardrobes, at the treasury protest was kinda a weird look.

  11. We need to primary and oust the traditional establishment Dems. They don’t care about us. AOC cannot constantly be the only one in the headlines standing up for democracy

  12. Did Americans said they want new voices? Or maybe the election was hacked by Musk.

  13. [AOC told Jon Stewart](https://youtu.be/eeheoxWzf2o) that the Democratic Party runs on a lot of rules, that the notion of removing or changing rules is often met as an existential crisis, and the overriding rule is seniority (not merit).

  14. Look – here’s the issue.

    American (Democrats) want new voices, but they want those new voices to not be their own reps. Thats why new ones aren’t there. Generally, older politicians have formed local coalitions, and have inertia.

    The easy thing is to vote out the older voices for fresher ones, but it doesn’t happen. We want new faces, but people tend to re-elect there older one who they know.

  15. Respectfully, what are they gonna do?

    It’s not like America’s ever going to have free or fair elections again.

  16. “If liberals are so fucking smart, how come they lose so god damn always?”

  17. I keep hearing this but why aren’t old voices losing local elections against new voices, like AOC? Why are people like Nancy Pelosi reelected? People are voting and they keep voting for the same thing.

  18. Neither are Republicans though? Why is that omitted from the title?

    Why do Democrats have to be flawless and Republicans get to be lawless?

  19. You’ve got Ayanna Presley, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett (fellow Texan!) who actually have the balls to go to the streets and call out Elon right where he is attempting his coup. They, not the old guard, should be the party leaders.

    If you’re getting this much hate from the MAGA crowd, chances are you’re doing the right thing. Democrats should listen.

  20. What an incredibly stupid headline. If Americans wanted new voices, Trump wouldn’t have gotten anywhere close to half the votes.

  21. Voting can solve this. Can’t be heard if you don’t vote.

  22. As long as Chuck Schumer is still wandering his way to a podium aimlessly, while monotonously reading a pre-written statement using his wife’s reading glasses, we are cooked.

  23. Hey hey hey.. now if this message is just now getting out, then they’re about 8 years behind to ball here. This SHOULD have been the main takeaway after Trump won the 1st election but nobody wanted to talk about it.. people have been fed up with Washington politicians for decades but finally did something about it.. what changed after? Nothing. Still abunch of spineless money hungry reps with a priority to stay in office at all costs..
