If you’re in the EU consider banning the other Disease X: https://ban-x-in.eu/
Note that signing the petition alone likely won’t be enough. Please also contact people in your government to help make it happen. X/Twitter is violating EU law and must be banned.

it’s important to redirect negative thoughts and feelings, but you have to do this without jumping to condescending or infantilising language.
So much this! I used to be a Trump supporter myself and I’ve made some people angry because of my previous political views. I got yelled at for what I said. Even though in hindsight their reaction was somewhat justified all that did was reinforce my views and dig a deeper hole.
I get what you mean there. I hope they have improved their security since then.
I researched this exact question. There is a way called deep canvasing https://www.vice.com/en/article/how-to-change-a-voters-mind-is-deep-canvassing/
It’s scientifically proven. Try having a one on one conversation with someone. Listen to what they say and respond with empathy. Then gradually and calmly introduce your message that is related to what they said. For example if the person you are talking to said they are worried about grocery prices and specifically egg prices you could mention that bird flu was the root cause of the price increase and that Trump’s tariffs will raise prices on groceries. Building trust helps your message get across. I’ve had personal conversations with Trump supporters who trust me and you’d be surprised how much success you can have.
Wikipedia explains who they are very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo
GiveSendGo is a Christian crowdfunding website.[5] GiveSendGo has attracted controversy for allowing far-right extremists to fundraise, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.[15]
They have also had multiple security breaches.
I think either my post wasn’t clear or you misread it. I’m talking about simple actions you can take to improve the DNC. If you get involved you can have your voice heard in the party. I’m not talking about AOC’s influence, I’m talking about yours.
What have you done to make things better? Sitting and not doing anything lets the other people do things you don’t want. Having an influence increases the chances of getting what you want. Imagine if people primaried Nancy Pelosi. Also Nancy Pelosi is likely trying to tank AOC’s committee bid because she feels she’s making the best decision for the party. That’s because people who feel AOC is good for the party aren’t being heard by her.
This is a false equivalency. Harris wouldn’t send migrants to concentration camps. She wouldn’t attack our allies. She wouldn’t cut social security and VA benefits. Instead she wanted to help normal people like you and me.
Trump constantly praises dictators such as Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-Un and has a history of sexually assaulting people.
There are ways to change it. You can attend local Democratic party meetings in your city. You can also vote in the primaries and you could also call Nancy Pelosi yourself. https://pelosi.house.gov/contact/offices/washington-dc-office
Note about contacting her: sadly she was hospitalized just recently: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/nancy-pelosi-hospitalized-congressional-visit-luxembourg-rcna184144 even if I disagree with her sometimes I still wish her a full recovery. It’s likely that no matter her health it would go to her secretary so perhaps if lots of people call the message would still get passed along to her once she gets better.
It’s a fascist propaganda technique. The enemy is both strong and weak.
I agree totally! That’s why getting people involved in the primary is so important. It’s time we vote out the people who are causing us to loose election after election.
I almost hope they do it but just for a short time before it causes anyone harm. Maybe some people need a wake up call to realize that Republicans just care about the billionaires.
It’s so frustrating that we get taxed at a higher rate than billionaires do. Please remember to vote in 2025 and 2026 and help put a stop to this. If you don’t like your candidate vote in the primary and remember that even if the person on the Democratic ticket isn’t perfect he or she is going to be a lot better than the Republican option.
The list surprised me too! I thought they were progressive people. I hope we can get more information on what their reasons are.
He’s like a Trojan Horse. I hope he does switch to the GOP so Democrats can run someone better next time. If he doesn’t switch to the GOP vote for someone else in the primary.
16 Democrats were absent. If 9 of them would have showed up both bills would have passed. Sources:

The list of Democrats who didn’t vote on both of the measures is the same. Here is the list:
What else are we supposed to do? I wish Biden would use his powers to stop Trump now but if he doesn’t we can either be stuck with Trump for 2 years or be stuck with him or 4 years or more. Getting a big blue majority in 2026 would stop Trump faster.
We got to vote these corrupt politicians out in 2026! If we can get enough Democrats into office then that means Trump can be impeached.
