      Like - DO GOOD WORK ?

      I dunno, it seems like it should be more . . y’know. Specific. The first part anyway. “Don’t fuck with a primary” is pretty self-explanatory, but there are things the DNC has to do to run a primary, so we should probably get specifics for that too.

        This assumes they’ll be running primaries at all.

    Haha, I’ll see you all in 2028 after 4 years of no change and primary rigging again.

    IMO Hakeem Jeffries should also be replaced as minority leader / speaker. He’s about as exciting as a wet dish rag. Great that he’s on message but it’s so transparently measured and calculated. Exactly why Pelosi groomed him to take over, I’m guessing. Just an absolute milk sandwich of a man.

      I’ve always found the way he speaks confusing. Does he have a disability that I’m not aware of?

      Fair, but we’re talking about the DNC itself, not the House leadership. Anyone know anything about anyone on the “short list”?

    Now this is gonna sound crazy. But if you actively improve the material conditions of people’s lives I’m pretty sure they’ll vote for you.

      Biden did and he got the boot, along with all the Democrats. Trump didn’t and he won the popular vote.

      I don’t think doing good matters.

        I think doing tangible good matters.

        You can’t give tens of billions to green energy companies and expect any actual workers in the country to get richer.

        If he raised the min wage then poor people would tangibly benefit instead of the DNCs strategy of shouting down poor people when they say they can’t afford human needs

          Unfortunately, POTUS can’t unilaterally increase minimum wage, which would require legislative action… and the tangible good he (and Democrats more generally) actually did do for people, like student loan forgiveness, abortion access, college admission rules that helped disadvantaged students, gun control, and the ability for federal agencies to hire experts in a field to help make intelligent decisions were all thrown out in the courts.

        Doing good definitely matters. Getting the message out that you did so apparently matters more.

        What we are seeing matters most though, is showing the other side did BAD.

          Thst’s been the dems whole platform for 8 years. “At least we’re not them.” Nobody wanted Biden, or Harris, we got stuck with those assholes and voted for them out of desperation. I know exactly what kind of people run the Democratic party. A bunch of old people who think they know everyhing just clinging to their positions. A bunch of old Karens.

            Agree that “at least we aren’t them” doesn’t work. It needs to be more “Republican Matt Gaetz responds to allegations of PEDOPHILIA” and “Home insurance continues to rise under the gross MISMANAGEMENT of Ron Desantis - Floridians fleeing state” and maybe “Many are questioning if Republicans even know HOW to govern, as reliance on money from Democrat run states increases”.

            You know, flashy clickbait headlines for the lazy (average) American voter. Republicans have shown even a stupid lie (they are eating the dogs!) told enough times convinces people.

              We already know all of that and the dems still sat there with their dick in their hands because the kinds of people that run the party are incompentent and worry too much about pleasing the coalition of misfits that are actually involved in the party. They won’t ever let sensible people climb the ranks.

                Yeah that’s true. Right now our two big leaders amount to the school bully and maybe an average student. It is a lot to ask the average student to stand up the school bully, even if it’s a lot of other students asking him.

                We need real leaders. We need to volunteer ourselves so that the best of us can help lead the country. We keep asking for better but none of us want to step up.

    Go on the fucking attack. Call out every Republican bullshit comment and flat out call them liars and embarass them in front of anyone they can.

    Follow it up with lobbing accusations of their on non-stop

    Yes, but make sure they know their job. It is to select candidates, without a primary, and make sure those candidates hold fundraising events for the elite class and do nothing for the low and working class. 🤦‍♂️
