Note to Dem "leaders" across our USA,

[Magoo48]

Please, less pearl-clutching and more of this:

ThankYou

[ZDU]

1. Power to the People

[Silent Type]

2. This is what we need.

[Oopsie Daisy]

4. No we don't. I, for one, believe we need more respect for tradition and decorum.

This kind of behavior is idiotic and serves no useful or constructive purpose.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

5. Really?

Who do you see duking it out, and what do you think it will accomplish?

If you want to see that kind of thing, watch some Jerry Springer.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. No, no, no. Why do you support violence? Politics is the way to avoid violence. . . . . . . . nt

[Oopsie Daisy]

3. Pearl-clutching?? Oh, please. 🙄

The term "pearl clutching" is used to describe someone, usually a woman, who is perceived as being overly sensitive about a particular issue. It's use only helps to reinforce stereotypes about women being overly emotional or easily shocked.

6. The Dem bashing never ends

here on Democratic Underground.

[Rebl2]

7. Yep

[murielm99]

12. Right.

[Oopsie Daisy]

15. It's quite the sport, isn't it? Every day... another episode of everyone's FAVORITE game show...

"Let's Shit on Democrats!" ™
🙄😜🤡😡

WHERE am I exactly? I must of taking a wrong turn in Albuquerque!

[betsuni]

8. The "Let's Bashing Dem Leadership for What Republicans Do" game! Batteries and Republican leadership not included.

[Magoo48]

16. One must only look to the ones who are fighting to be confused by those who are not.

[betsuni]

17. "Fighting" (Us) and "not fighting" (Them) the new populist "progressive" and "establishment" labels dividing Democrats.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

18. Exactly

And how easy it seems to be.

[betsuni]

19. Trained to bark and howl at the words "Dem leadership" and "fight." As always, emotion over thinking.

[Magoo48]

21. Ha. I'm not burdened with great thinking.

That said, my friends and neighbors are under physical and emotional attack constantly. When directly confronted, they do as I would, and will, they fight back. When someone is coming after your family, thinking at them is not extremely productive. Sometimes it becomes necessary to fight or flee.

[Magoo48]

20. It is not an either or situation.

I spend as much time resisting fascism as an old man possibly can. I will also question the motives of those who spent millions of dollars to become leaders and then sit on their static asses finding only the time to petition Democrats for money so they can continue to do the bare minimum.
I am a United States citizen and I’m also a citizen of the California Republic. I am disgusted with the first and evermore grateful to be living in a second.

[Hekate]

10. I love me some Haka, & from the sounds of it she had a lot of support. However! Dem women don't pearl clutch.

[Scrivener7]

11. Oh, dear! Tsk tsk! You are suggesting elected Democrats could do more as we slide into fascism! Mustn't do that!

Everything is fine! And saying such things makes you a baaaaaad Democrat. We mustn't say such things!!

Also, what are YOU doing, Magoo48? Because, Magoo48, YOU personally are responsible for stopping the end of our Democracy. It is YOU who are not doing enough. If only YOU would do enough, this would not be happening!11!!!

Because, obviously, that's idiotic.

[ancianita]

13. Pretty sure the last pearl clutcher is Susan Collins.

[Envirogal]

14. Did the haka work or viral theater?

Wasn’t there a 24 hour filibuster? Theatrics might get attention but strategy and in the ground outreach works better. We need to get back the rural and middle class.

And let’s not forget, the purity test of most Democratic voters that thought they could play with fire in this last election and stay home.

We have a “representative” government. Time to look in the mirror and realize the People give the Dems few tools and little support. And the media and their “bothsiderism” has led to public apathy.
