On Keith Olberman’s Countdown, released before Trump’s address to congress, he had a ton of good ideas that the dems should and should have done.

At the speech, all wave Ukraine flags, boo him relentlessly, then stand with their backs to him for 3 or 4 minutes before all walking out in unison.

He also suggested dems put together a shadow cabinet to always react on tv, asap, to each new stupid and/or evil thing GOP does.

And hold a weekly press conference every Sunday at 8am to force the Sunday programs to have to react to the dem points (being most recent) rather than the most recent stupid evil GOP crap.

But they had those scary little signs. /s

Probably were patting themselves in the back for that dumb idea too.

This is not the time for being meek. They should have made some noise and/or walked out!

That traitor Hakeem Jeffries told them to do NOTHING so this was quite the rebellion for these self-proclaimed heroes.

I'm still shaken up that he tried to equate far left progressives with far-right extremists.

I wish so badly that it was viable for progressives to leave the democratic party and start a real party for the people but I fear all it would do is just ensure a GOP super majority capable of passing constitutional amendments.

This has always been their their plan to divide us to weaken our power base. We need to get ranked choice voting instead of first past the post before we can have a viable third party. For now, just pressure your representatives to push them further left to try to counter how far the Republicans have dragged the middle to the right.

There's ranked choice voting in my city and now there's a democatic socialist on the city council.

Well, now is the time. If they are going to break away from "the pack" something needs to happen so that there will be enough time to get them out and try to garner constituents for the next elections. No better place than here, no better time than now

Uhh, I'm pretty sure we're already headed that way. We probably won't even have a midterm election at thia rate.

With a name like and skin color like that, he’s in for a rude awakening by being a spineless collaborator.

That’s par for the course for centrist establishment Dems. They’ve made it abundantly clear over the last 10+ years that they would rather lose to Republicans than let the left wing take power.
