Along with Pelosi. In the name of American unity, I'm ok with this shit and Pelosi being on the hanging block with the Republicans.
Definitely

Considering what Trump and L1 are doing, Democrats should put every rock they find into their path. Instead they do this. Cowardice.

FTFY!
Connolly is an accomplice in the coup d'etat.
Everyone downvoted me and called me an idiot when I said the Dems are weak and useless. Most of them don't have a spine.
People lost their minds when I suggested the dems are at fault for losing so badly, not protest voters. It's funny as hell thinking the old guard of the democratic party will ever become effective
Both of them are at fault. The voters are just as culpable for being so misinformed about what was at stake, and the democrats should've told them more.
But the info was all available, so that's not an excuse.
This has been explained so, so, so-so, so so so.many times. How is it still not understood?
I have been thinking, even though there are genuinely tone deaf, smug, urban elite centrist Democrats who call everyone who disagrees with them as plain stupid-- instead of acknowledging that the once reliable working-class and rural voters that supported Democrats felt abandoned by jobs outsourcing went over to the Republicans-- I reckon some accounts are also bots to amplify this disdain by centrist Democrats on the conservative-voting working-class, in order to further widen the partisan gap.
So much had been reported of Russia funding far-right populist parties, but there is also Russia funding the left or at least being suspiciously friendly. Putin is cosy with the former centre left German chancellor, Gerhard Schroder, who have worked in Russian energy firms. Jill Stein rob votes from Democrats during presidential elections and she is hesitant to call Putin a dictator (like Trump). Many far-left parties in Europe also either have warm or ambivalent feeling towards Russia, and are reluctant to support Ukraine.
Unlike during the Cold War when the Soviet Union solely funded radical far-left groups (while the US supported right wing dictatorships), the current meddling and psy-ops from current Russia don't have any ideological preference to support in order to destabilise the West. Russia simply throws all the wrench they could get into the machine.
Truly an unsaveable party.
Let it burn but we need a replacement fast
Just to state the obvious, you should be bitching at your representatives, state and federal, all the time.
Yes, that includes me too. And no, I don't do it either.
I have heard from others this website can be really helpful for getting yourself going on this - https://5calls.org/
in a CNN appearance on Sunday, Connolly said workers should comply for now.
“I guess if you can, cover yourself and do the five things you did last week just to be able to say, ‘well I did it,’” he advised.
Obviously Congressional Democrats need to fight, but this sure sounds to me like he’s just telling Federal employees to cover their bases in case the courts rule DOGE does have authority. This is their livelihood, after all.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding.
It's also much different than what the headline suggests.
Still bad though. They should already have a plan. They're not nearly quick enough as a body to handle what's going on.
Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly, the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said government workers should comply with an Elon Musk order that is being disputed by others. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency sent out an email...
Thank you Nancy Pelosi!
He's seventy-four with a cancer diagnosis so... 🤞
Tell the Gambler, the Rambler, the Backslider,
Sooner or later God'll cut you down.
Why should he give a shit. He literally has terminal cancer. This who the DNC picked over a young a vibrant AOC. The DNC needs to be burned down and replaced from the top.
Wow, the cancer must have spread to his brain.
Lets hope it finishes him off soon, fuck this fascist colloborating sack of shit.
Too democrat recommends fascism
The Dems are so good at being the opposition party that they are… complying with the fascists? This is pathetic.
Who needs Republicans when you've got Democrats like these
If we are going to lose anyways it’s time to make a third party. Call it the Progressive Party and continue to lose until democrats give up. These people literally only care about lining their pockets.
Yeah that seems to be a popular idea but it never gets anywhere after that.
My thought was, since the DNC organization exists and anyone can participate, we should y'know - take it over. Basically. Like it was intended.
So in the first example we'd have to build it from scratch (pros/cons) and in the second example, we'd have to deal with a fully functioning national party (pros/cons).
And now the party should primary him...too bad the party is a feckless shell of bullshit wrapped around a bunch of greedy little piggies.
The people can primary him. Need 1,000 qualified signatures first though. The party won't like it but they can't stop you from running in a primary against him and making him answer to these issues.
now you know why Cryptkeeper Pelosi picked him over AOC for this position
It's nice of them to so formally declare themselves enemies of the working class.
What makes a democrat "top"?
Like, is he the one who fucks you in the ass? That's probably it.
Edit: just to remind everyone; the DNC is a sunk cost. You can keep trying to make them fight back, make them stand up for you, and make them care. At the and of the day they will take your energy, take your money, take your vote and do nothing with it.
Sounds like he needs a challenger in the primaries
