What hurt the effort here was that Al Green stood up alone. I want EVERY Democrat to make it clear, at every opportunity, that His MAGAsty does not deserve respect. He has taken a dump on the presidency, and respect for the office itself will need to be earned again after he's gone.

as 'just another uppity black man' by the right.

... and they think it's funny. (I'm not making that up; I've heard them joking about how upset Blacks are at efforts to claw back the civil rights movement -- they literally take it as "retribution" for being "uppity."

I've read several posts in recent days essentially saying "let's get along". You don't get along with these crazies. You weaken them until you can destroy them, and that is what we have got to do.

Every Democrat should have gotten up and walked out WITH Al Green. We are far beyond "playing nice". You play nice; you die.

Appreciate that someone else "gets it".

this does not work. Narcissists are going to do their thing, no matter what the reaction is. You will not "nice" them into anything.

In normal circumstances, I'd agree that the President deserves minimal respect when giving the State of the Union address -- but there's NOTHING normal about our reality now!

voted to censure him. Democrats ran Al Franken out of the Senate over a joke. We have Fetterman defending Trump again.
I got an e-mail wanting more money yesterday, until they discover a backbone no more.

For MTG and Bobert to stand and scream like howler monkeys. But as Rachel often said, "It's OK if you're a Republican."

Lock them out of everything. How can we possibly hope to defeat the Republicans when our own people are stabbing us in the back.

Not a penny more in donations until democrats stop attacking their own. Fucking hell, don't we have enough problems with the GOP without attacking those on our own side. I am completely disgusted.

Do you all know who Al Green is? He represents some of the most marginalized neighborhoods in Houston. He is fighting for civil rights, against poverty, against big business, etc - every single day. They should be ashamed of themselves for attacking this gentleman.

Democrats are not united like Republicans which seems to be in their/our DNA. Open mindedness is a good trait, but there are times when it’s not needed. And this definitely wasn’t in view of the national threat we are facing.

Appeasement is not what is needed. They should step aside and let new reps. who understand the gravity of our present situation hold office.

Can't believe they didn't follow him out.
Can't believe that ANY dems would vote to censure him let alone 10 dems. Really in disbelief over this one.
Fox news had a field day with this
Keep an eye on those 10 dems. .
Hound the crap out of them.

I thought it was bad with Manchin and Sinema. Turns out they might've been the good ones.

Asshole phonies.
