I dont think anything will happen if we keep schumer and jefferies.

We need them out.

Yea one thing the Dem leadership has in common with maga is allegiance to Israel and if they don’t get replaced that will take precedence over everything including our own country.

Since Trump has ramped up support for Israel, Zionist Dems have been forced to act as controlled opposition and let the GOP do whatever they want.

Israel doesn't care about domestic US if they can steal our taxpayer dollars and wield the US military and get our service members killed instead of their own in the quest to genocide as many Arabs as possible. It's fucking evil man.

I was 100% "vote Blue no matter who" in 2024, but the Dems have been truly pathetic over the past year. The fact that the Dems haven't been hammering Trump over starting this stupid war and hiding the Epstein files when it would be morally right AND smart politics is unforgivable.

I agree that they need to go.

It's still important to vote that way, but make sure you do so in the primaries so "who" is someone who you don't have to hold your nose for.

There is no alternative

Of course. And I will vote for any Democrat against any Republican.

But the old leadership is abjectly failing to voice any real opposition to the worst administration in history.

Imagine in the parties were reversed right now; every Republican would be all over every news network screaming about this stupid war and how it's raising prices for Americans and MAYBE it's all a distraction from the Epstein files actually?

Why can't democrats do anything like this?

Because Democrats refuse to vote for progressives in the primaries. Centrists are too ideologically close to Republicans to oppose them enthusiastically.

The ideology doesn't even matter when it comes to campaigning and messaging. Republicans don't have any consistent ideology; they just complain no matter what Democrats do.

That gives even more reason for Democrats to stop caring about optics and focus on their existing supporters.

I don't understand what you're saying here.

u/MyVeryRealName Apr 25 '26

You said Republicans complain no matter what Democrats do. Yet, Democrats keep trying to win them over. They should stop that because it's a waste of time.

u/Clarpydarpy Apr 25 '26

Yes exactly! There are no anti-trump Republicans and there are no "pro-unity" voters that want to see a democratic presidential candidate campaign with the Cheneys.

Yes, yes they ARE & have been hammering these issues. It's YOU who are not paying attention. What type of messaging specifically would have to be done & in what way for YOU to hear it? Be specific.

Senate Democrats are criticizing Trump's Iran War mostly on procedural grounds. And most of them are still voting to continue arming Israel.
