Democratic party leaders just met for the first time in months. When will they take real action?

[PatrickforB]

This is an editorial from the Guardian, and I'm posting here because of that, though it could just as well be in 'the way forward.'

Here's the link to the whole deal: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/04/dnc-meeting-little-rock-arkansas

So why post this? Because I'm tired. I have over $10K in HEALTH CARE DEBT, which makes me want to puke every time I think about it.

I'm near 'full retirement age' which for me is 66 and 8 months.

I HAVE HAD A CALL INTO THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK. Because of Elon dontcha know...that motherfucking drug addict Nazi laying off a huge number of people there.

So I'm asking myself if they consider the application date or award date in levying the lifetime earnings cap I don't want to incur.

And nobody fucking called me back because there is nobody TO call me back because of this fucking godawful incompetent administration.

So I finally called both Senators - Bennet and Hick (I'm AFRAID to call Boebert because BoBo is my US Rep, but last time I called they said they needed my phone number before they could relay my comments to BoBo. I'm not doing that and getting on some Gestapo roundup list.

Guess what? Neither of them were answering their phones either. Finally I'd had it and I left a rather angry message for both Senators about nonresponsive government. A really nice young lady called from Bennet's (he earned my support for his run for CO Gov right there) and found the answer to my question.

But this is fucked. And now we see a 'stealth' strategy meeting of the DNC that comes out with....................nothing.

I'm sorry, but these institutionalists must be in a real bubble while the rest of us are all getting screwed. And I get it. There are some 'good' billionaires, and the current system is working real well for the instutionalist crowd of Dems. But it is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT working for me. NOT. WORKING. FOR. ME.

We need a concerted effort here. Chuck S and all the rest of the old-school institutionalist Dems can't hold a candle against the Trump administration because Trump and his criminal sychophants don't care. Not at all. They are ignoring all the 'strongly worded letters' and when I look at Jeffries and how he has waffled about Trump's testing the wind on arresting opposing members of congress I once again want to puke.

Don't these people have ANY cajones???????????????

Oh, I know, maybe you will be mad at me for posting this, but it is past time for the Democratic party to start fighting tooth and nail and obstructing EVERYTHING these MAGA motherfuckers try to do. They did it to us beginning with that meeting of the Newtster and other top Republicans at that steakhouse in DC on O's inauguration night back in 2009. They been fucking us over every which way but loose, too, over and over and over and over.

Time to stop being Mr Nice Guy and start getting down and dirty and in there slugging. I've had it. I am taxed a lot and I didn't get any effing cut with the giant 2017 tax cut for billionaire parasites and corporations, and now services ME AND MY FAMILY NEED are no longer available or are really hard to access.

BUT I'M STILL PAYING TAXES.

AND GETTING NOTHING.

Say - taxation without representation..........................hmm. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
