Ramesh #NotGoingBackWhen they go low, we #GoBallistic.
Instead of #virtueSignaling, "The American public wants to ... be part of a movement to #FightBack for their rights."

>> One thing to keep in mind in terms of shutdown or dirty CR is that our courts will shut down if the government shuts down I hope you are all aware of.
Yes, and the courts are already under #fascist control — any doubt about #SCOTUS?
#Democrats need to #fight. #fightBack.
There is going to be #trauma anyway — #Republican-inflicted or #Democrat-inflicted.
"MOVE FAST and BREAK THINGS" because the other side is breaking things faster, and you can't stop them. #GoBallistic.
>> #Republicans are shutting down the government department by department. #Appeasement never produces the desired result. If they are shutting things down piecemeal anyway, grow a spine. #GoBallistic
There you go…
"Elon Musk has wanted a #government shutdown in part because it would make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers… not about saving #money… but destroying a liberal power base”

⬆️ @Nonilex >> Senate #Democrats are facing a political dilemma over whether to support it & hand #Trump wide leeway to continue his assault on federal programs & workers, or oppose it & risk being blamed for a govt #shutdown.
@alexlubertozzi >> Dems shouldn’t collaborate with these #Nazi fuckers.
#Republicans are shutting down the government department by department. #Appeasement never produces the desired result. If they are shutting things down piecemeal anyway, grow a spine. #GoBallistic.

Yes, and I agree with you but only up to a point.
I am saying that sometimes #Democrats are their #ownWorstEnemy.
In the real world, it is #survivalOfTheFittest, not the crudest, meanest, or most virtuous.
Democrats seem unable to #AcknowledgeTheProblem that our survival is at stake. Moral absolutism is not going to help us survive.
Instead of #virtueSignaling, censuring and forcing party members to resign, we need to #GoBallistic and fight like out survival depends on that.

#Democrats are their #ownWorstEnemy. When elected reps attack other elected reps, they don't need help of #leftists.

Remember when #Boebert and #Greene yelled at #Biden?
Remember when Democrats forced #AlFranken to resign over a prank photo?
When Democrats learn to fight back and play by the same rules, there might be some hope.
When They Go Low, #GoBallistic.
Stop #virtueSignaling
OUR COMMON GROUND (@[email protected])
Attached: 1 image Call these Dems about their vote to try & humiliate #AlGreen. They don't deserve to be in office on the Dem ticket. And, they were certainly willing to condemn a Black man for a reason.

>> Remember when #MTG Marjorie Taylor #Greene and Lauren #Boebert stood and heckled Joe #Biden? …#AlGreen did what needed to be done last night, and #MikeJohnson had him thrown out. I say it all the time: #Democrats and #Republicans are playing two completely different games. Play their game, fellow Democrats, and fight back.
When They Go Low, #GoBallistic!
Stop #virtueSignaling.

>> If TWO #Democratic presidents (#Obama and #Biden) — both of whom knew about Trump's #Russia connections — did nothing to save us, there is really nothing left that Democrats as a political party have to offer us.
The mantra should have been "When They Go Low…" … We #GoBallistic — right from the #Obama years.
When #Biden got a chance, he had bipartisan public support after #Jan6 #insurrection.
Yet, he chose #Garland as his AG and THEN cut off his balls 😡
>> The #KamalaHarris campaign is fighting on #Trump’s level – and it’s working
The new mantra is "When They Go Low, We #GoBallistic!"
That's the only way to keep Trump on the defensive.
#HarrisWalz campaign statements calling out Trump's lies & misdeeds are also very effective in showing the campaign is fighting back instead of being cowed down.
That instills confidence in people who want to support #Democrats but were previously turned off by apathy
