Time to Regroup

[kpete]

Dear Dems and Progressives ...

The opponent is Republicans, the GQP, and Trumpanistas.

NOT President Biden.

Your anger and criticism should be directed at those who are holding up Biden's agenda.

1. AMEN!

[AllTooEasy]

43. Manchin and Sinema are holding up Biden's agenda

Has DearAuntCrabby been paying attention? Can we criticize those two?

This "Dems vs Progressives War" is fake news. The reality is "Repukes + Sinema/Manchin vs Biden"

[bottomofthehill]

2. Say it loud and proud.

You are so right.

[kpete]

10. Loud & Proud

"We are the ones we've been waiting for"

[NoMoreRepugs]

3. Aunt Crabby calling some Righteous BullShit.

[OrlandoDem2]

4. All Dems, Liberals, and Progressives MUST GOTV for Democrats in November!!

That means every single one!

[brush]

5. Yes. It's not complicated. It's even in the TOS here on DU.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Sorry, what's TOS?

[hauckeye]

15. Terms of Service?

[brush]

17. Terms of service.

Here's a brief excerpt:

Don't bash Democratic public figures
Do not post disrespectful nicknames, insults, or highly inflammatory attacks against any Democratic public figures. Do not post anything that could be construed as bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for any Democratic general election candidate, and do not compare any Democratic general election candidate unfavorably to their general election opponent(s).

Look at the near bottom of every DU OP post as there's a link there listing the DU terms of service.

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Thanks. Didn't recognize acronym

[betsuni]

6. K&R

[LoisB]

7. Amen to that. I think he is doing a fantastic job.

[kpete]

9. Not even close to giving up on him.

Gas prices Are down! Job growth is up! We are free to focus on the culture War now! And prosecuting Trump & crew.

[LoisB]

11. Nor am I. If the MSM ever reports any good news, it's always followed by "but, what about...?"

Joe gets all the blame and no credit.

[Wounded Bear]

8. K & R...for truth...nt

[BHDem53]

12. Yes!!

[Handler]

13. He is doing a great job

[mcar]

16. This +1000!

[FakeNoose]

19. The idiotic journalists who keep dumping on Biden - they're close behind

They're getting used by the Repukes for spilling their shit, whether they realize it or not.

[Rebl2]

20. ABSOLUTELY!!!

Keep whining about what you don’t like about him, you are just giving fodder to GQP.

[kpete]

22. Have You Forgotten TFG?

[sheshe2]

26. Lol.

They didn't last long.

Ooops!

Thanks, kpete, good post.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

48. TY, kpete! Fabulous meme!

24. Startling that Dems need reminding but . . .

Here we are. Just read an article about a number of Dem activists upset that POTUS wasn't muscular enough in his comments on the Roe overturn, that he wasn't specific in what he would do to ameliorate the situation and/or waited too long to give his reaction, yada, yada.

I sometimes wonder if the reported quotes from Dems are actually Republicans stirring the pot, agitating.

I thought the speech Friday was fiery, emotional, on point. As for what the President can do? He's limited at the moment but the EO is a good step forward. As for specifics? Some of the Dems I heard on panels are sounding as if there's a magic wand to wave that President Biden refuses to utilize and are annoyed that the call to action to . . . vote is somehow lame, a cop-out because they already voted in 2020 and things aren't getting done, promises have been broken.

Yeah, okay. I'm annoyed, too. But with a razor thin majority, two Democratic Senators who stamp their feet and say 'no, no, no, while lobbyists whisper in their ears and Mitch McConnell more than willing to block anything looking like a Biden agenda, let alone save the day on abortion rights, we are where we are.

The real specific is in the voting: Hold the House and vote in two more Democratic Senators, men or women who are staunchly Pro-Choice, push through a filibuster carve out and the President can protect women's rights and privacy. Even Manchin is now claiming (maybe pretending) he's had a come to Jesus moment and would vote for a carve-out on reproductive rights.

We shall see. But it all starts with the votes in November.

We want women's liberty and dignity protected? Then we need to help the President make that happen.

[kpete]

25. Thank you peggysue2

It is a shame that we need to be reminded.
We have been traumatized but we can't forget because this fight never ends

[electric_blue68]

49. Great post, peggysue2...

yeah I get somewhat frustrated at times - but I know
everything/one he's up against. That's waaaay more agrievating!!! GAH!

He's done sooo much good already.

And that last speech he gave?!



That's what I want to see more of - telling what good he's done/doing AND Sticking it to the repuglicans!

[FloridaBlues]

27. I have been saying this a lot lately and seems they all find a cable

Network to host their dislike of this administration. It’s really too much. Even tonight on Aymn show family pissed at him for sister being shot by Israel’s. Whatever the grievance is it’s bad for administration.

[Joinfortmill]

28. Listen up

[marti]

29. Like Will Rogers said

I don't belong to any organized political party- I'm a Democrat
Time to finally get organized!

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. Amen! They're going after him for things he has little or no control over.

[spanone]

31. ...K&R...

[Cha]

32. JHC! Why don't they GET THAT?!!!

Please Fight to Save Our Democracy💙 in 2022 & 2024!

[Stinky The Clown]

36. You're assuming they are all on our side

[Cha]

33. Bumping this thread...

...and still shaking my head over a recent Washington Post article that described the "fury" President Biden was facing from young women and certain Democrats I shall not mention.

[Ohio Joe]

34. K&R - nt

[BlueJac]

35. Absolutely!

[Pepsidog]

37. Time to hire some Republican political operatives who know how to message and break knees. Seems

like never Trumpers are Dems best weapons against Rs.

[Wild blueberry]

38. Thank you

Biden is doing his utmost. One person cannot do everything. We must give him more Democrats in Congress.
My thought is Biden is so pro-worker, pro-union, pro-regular person that the Corporate Media (and the GQP) who do the bidding of the uber-wealthy, are feeling threatened.

[kimbutgar]

46. Yes

Was channel surfing and came upon CNN and they were blaming President Biden for not getting the gun problem under control! I was like WTF !!!!!

[Hotler]

39. We're not allowed to pick on Sinema and Manchin.

[onecaliberal]

40. K&R

[calimary]

41. THANK YOU!!!!!

[liberalla]

42. So true! Focus anger where it is deserved!

[kimbutgar]

45. My sister in law told my husband yesterday that her 22 year old daughter who is a liberal and

Just graduated college Won’t vote for President Biden again and blames him for the problems in this country. She might sit out the November election. My sister in law told she needs to vote no matter what and vote Democratic. This young woman stands to lose her reproductive rights where she lives in Arizona.

I get so mad at people who only look at the surface of an issue and not look into further.

[calimary]

50. NO FREAKIN' KIDDING!!!

Just STOP it! And YES, I'm SHOUTING!!!

Dems, GET BEHIND BIDEN!!! He's our President, forcryingoutloud, and he's doing a LOT of good things! And he's propelled toward that by having his heart in the right place.

Frankly, it leaves me absolutely boiling mad to see all this picking on him, especially when it comes from purported "friendlies".

All it does is hobble him, and weaken our case for electing more Dems!

Get started TALKING HIM UP, if you haven't already!!!

He's better than ANYBODY the bad guys have warming up in the bullpen, from trump to DeSantis and whoever else in the GOP who fancies himself as White House-worthy.

We need to appreciate Joe Biden. More. Louder. Wider. Broader. IN PUBLIC, And with MUCH Greater Frequency.

[Martin68]

51. I've been expressing the same thing to Democratic friends who are impatient that Biden hasn't

yet solved every problem facing us right now. They say they are "tired" of hearing how important voting is right now. There is sometimes a lack of realism on the left, as there is on the right. We have to keep repeating the message the best we can.
