Once upon a time, AK was telling us that if we couldn't afford our meds, we should buy them in Canada.

One puts there status quo political ecosystem at risk and the other doesn’t. Simple as

Would SOMEBODY please run against this soulless husk? Please, Jesse?

same vibes, different day...

Klobuchar is a total hypocrite as it is.

The first, definitely, but I'd still lead in with "Romance alert"

Sadly,…the second one.

Nothing puts me in the mood like medium rare ribeye

0 issue with this post on Valentine’s Day. The issue is they aren’t saying the first thing every fucking day

She posted about ICE plenty before that skeet though? I don’t understand the point of characterizing this as though she’s ignoring that issue.

So she is certainly not my choice for much of anything, but she hasn't sat on her ass doing nothing. Some folk CAN chew gum and walk at the same time. My senators, on the other hand, have been absolutely AWOL. And I'm pretty confident our state is coming up soon on the ICE DEMOLITION DERBY list.

I really should have studied, damn

I think they recognize that affordability is popular, but centrist Dems definitely disagree with Mamdani's approach to solving the problem. They get too much money from corporate donors to support taxing the rich in order to provide basic human needs to everybody

The fascists do not make the trains run on time. And some people think they do, and consider themselves Sensible Pragmatists who avoid the sin of empathy and do what needs to be done, and to that I yell at them that fascists are making the trains late!

The 2024 election proved that more Americans actually do care about the electricity bill being 4% higher than Trump lighting their house on fire

First they came for the Louisiana Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Politicians getting brutally ratioed

So you guys stopped pretending to get mad about "greedflation" when a Republican became president, just like when you stopped pretending to care about drone strikes or the environment

I know everyone here hates klobuchar, but I think dems can/need to walk and chew gum. Congress is in the midst of maybe acting to rein in the tariffs and the tariff case is still pending at SCOTUS. Building anti-tariff political will is a good thing. Furthermore ICE must be destroyed

clean plate aozora eats the entire republican narrative. mmmm!

Well I'd like to see how your hair would fare in a blizzard

we can actually walk and chew bubblegum at the same time

They just don’t fucking get it. Gillibrand does this all the time. It’s infuriating.

Well, it’s not like Democrats said on many occasions and in many ways that Donnie loved fascism and would share that love with us, including masked thugs answerable only to him in the streets hunting people, but won the election anyway due to convincing rubes he’d be better for the economy. Right?!

It looks like a scheduled post for me. She doesn't care what's posted in her name on Bluesky.

Now you know Klobuchar has frequently talked about ICE. This is nonsense rage farming. Do better.

I was mad for a sec there. Still am, but not at you, at least.

There is more than one audience. Obviously.

America 2024: "The Cheesecake Factory thing."

Hello and welcome to the Poaster Idiot Exam. Here is question one. Which poast gets you more likes and engagement, therefore assuaging your pathological need for attention: —A post that tells the truth about Klobuchar without straw man arguments or false dichotomies. —This one.

How many eggs can I buy with a $20?

It depends on where you are making your pitch. Ohio is gonna care much more about that extra $4.90 on their cheesecake.

I mean, a lot of people apparently voted for the kidnapping and killing just because price of eggs or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A meal at cablp that previously cost $50 now costs $52.

She has done it plenty. You just haven't bothered to look before spouting off.

Scroll her TL. She's been posting about the ICE occupation from the jump. In addition to showing up on the ground to meet with people and helping amplify victims' their voices through Congressional hearings. She's responding to a whole array of constituent concerns.

I know which message resonates more with me, but I also know we have a vast number of people in this country who care more about the other message.

Regrettably, for low-information voters it’s the second. They don’t know about Trump’s Gestapo because it’s not happening in their city and they don’t watch the news. They know prices are higher because it’s part of their experience.

These people are so pathetic.

That does appear to have been the case a bit over a year ago, yeah.

Classic Klob

I'd argue that both are important. Bread and Roses is one of the oldest messages of socialism, and Rosa Luxembourg was absolutely right about revolutions without dancing.

Schumer did this sort of thing last year, showing how much more your Super Bowl guacamole would cost ingredient by ingredient. Not compelling when they’re getting ready to slaughter innocents.

Democrats are going to message about both & Democrats are going to win.

Accurate!

Also, Elizabeth Warren posted something similar. People are using a Valentine's Day theme to highlight the costs of Trump tarrifs, and Libby comes across as quite tone deaf when she pretends that price increases aren't a stressor for average Americans, especially in Minnesota.

Thank you. Again, Libby Watson has been misrepresenting Democrats for at least a decade. I'm familiar with her work, and I don't like it.

I get the point but also there's a distinct pattern over the last decade where if you beat the drum on Trump being an aspiring tinpot dictator people roll their eyes at you and tell you you're overreacting

To the unaffiliated 10% of our electorate who know almost nothing yet also decide most of our elections, it's almost certainly closer than we want to believe. But even with that said, she's beating the anti-ICE drum plenty as even a cursory glance at her media shows. So what are we talking about?

Stay out of Amy’s way while she conducts important business

She truly has the worst comms team.

*I meant "reach" but y'all get it, right?

I get your point, but I live in red flyover country, and it’s kinda sad that so many people don’t see the humanity in those fighting for freedom and justice in Minnesota. But they do see their pocketbooks

It’s Valentine’s Day so on this day people are aware and care. It doesn’t need to be only one.

The cost of roses has gone up 16.6%! This affects Americans almost once per year, on average! We’re talking $4, maybe $5!

But what if my ribeye is from the cheesecake factory

Wow this is a good point. Someone should have asked this question of the 2024 electorate

Sadly, in America it's number 2. Number 1 most people are like "huh I wonder who that's for" until there's a knock on the door.

Probably not the one that should be more compelling.

wouldn’t being satisfied with insufficient resistance just help controlled opposition dems and no one else?

A) Americans are selfish af and cost of living is always a winning message. B) she has spoken about ice but if you are suggesting she only talks about it and nothing else then you are clueless about how to win an election.

Even if Democrats want to take advantage of inflation to win elections, *everybody already knows prices are up*. You don't have to tell us. We buy things. Publicize the Republican misdeeds that voters *don't* automatically learn about just by going to the grocery store.

Yes, super dim.

My single issues is the price of ribeye

Many messages at the same time is ok

I thought affordability was this year’s message.

When you only boost one Klobuchar post, and ignore ALL her anti ICE posts, you might be a fauxgressive. Or you might be an engagement farmer....a dumb one

"Rose's Turn" but it's about committing mass murder

The Dems are great at using power. They are the party that came up with the child separation policy for example. They just only use their power for things Republicans like

Nothing wrong with sending *both* messages

but muh gas prices

Go on.

It has been shown again and again that a lot of people don't take that shit seriously until it literally happens to them, but cost of living happens to everyone

The answer no one in your replies (or you, Libby) want to hear is it’s the latter—but the first is effective to message too!

The important thing is that you don’t recommend a solution to either issue, or even suggest that you have a notion of what to do about them

but I don't believe the first one until it actually happens

Honestly many people care more about the $5

Alas, too many folks think the first one is leftist hysteria so...

its funny cus this was definitely written by a low paid marketing intern

Bernie Bros are never going to take any responsibility for this, are they?

That is categorically not what a strawman is, and I prefaced my metaphor with an explicit statement of my point

Really can't be long now until Democrats are complaining that Trump's reckless tariffs are increasing the cost of tear gas and armored vehicles for good, decent local police departments.

Have you looked through her feed though? It seems like she IS messaging on both issues.

‘why not both’ is always the right answer to these kinds of choice questions, because what is important to you and me will not resonate with everyone. it’s not equating the two, it’s maximizing the number of people you influence

STFU, useless

She's been in office 20 years and won election four times. I'm reasonably confident she knows her constituents' concerns.

Everyone’s mad at you for this but you’re right. But you I think you are underestimating how much the average American hog cares about their treats. Probably cynical but I truly think they care more about the fact that a snicker bar cost more than brown people in concentration camps. 🤷

Hardly, seems like you are not up for an educated vote.

Disabled vet, continuing the fight… Follow my original designs. wokesuperstore.etsy.com

Happening in cities and towns in her own state; the icing on the ( more expensive) cake

Yeah, but trans kids are afraid to play sports and he’s building us a beautiful ballroom so the important stuff is getting done.

Why does he hate Brasil?

Half the staff at those restaurants have probably been kidnapped by ICE

I mean... the last election doesn't bode well for #1

Erm... Fuck me, I'll take the Cheesecake factory I think!

She is infuriating

We can talk about more than one thing at a time. You must know she’s said plenty about ICE.

The Democrats, including Amy Klobuchar, shut down DHS this weekend.

She's a Senator. In the minority. Try to keep up.

nice opinion, which billionaire pedophile gave it to you?

Y’all just hate using those itty brains of yours and regurgitate bad faith bullshit to avoid straining yourselves.
