I hate to say it but they need to get their hands a bit dirtier. We keep holding the moral high ground and that’s a totally different fight than the one republicans are fighting. Get dirty, release the evidence and the tapes. Do not obey in advance. Shame these fuckers out of office and hold them 🧵

whitneyyoh.bsky.social•167 days ago

Accountable to the law. Because if politicians can freely break the law and get away with it then what is the point of law in the first place?

Get rid of the corrupt judges. Enforce ethics codes in congress and the senate. Put the professionalism smack down on them.

Find a way to wake the sleepers - the people who are trying to live a life where “I dont worry about politics”. How do you convince them before they are forced by destruction to finally ACT?

whitneyyoh.bsky.social•167 days ago

Right?! On the bright side, the sleepers who don’t pay attention are continuing their lives as normal which is currently an act of resistance to an extent. They haven’t obeyed yet and that works in our favor.

julienurse12.bsky.social•167 days ago

And we can think of American stubbornness as a protective factor, lol

grammy-says.bsky.social•167 days ago

That is one person at a time. Person to person. That is our job.

Figure out your candidates early and get them in the community.

hopefulmama.bsky.social•167 days ago

Use more money on billboards. Straight forward facts on how republicans voted and will continue to vote against interests of common people. Often the only reading they do. Make it impossible for them not to know.

Teach everyone to debate like Buttigieg

sheltieclan.bsky.social•166 days ago

He is so awesome, all the time.

tripledee.bsky.social•167 days ago

Get their own media outlets to get attention at the level that Fox News and other right wing media (including podcasts etc.) get. The message isn’t the problem. It’s getting people to understand and hear it amidst all the noise.

janetmcvey.bsky.social•167 days ago

Change the media landscape. Get truth to the masses.

staceydesro.bsky.social•167 days ago

Abolish the electoral college.

unpopularhistorian.bsky.social•167 days ago

Reanimate Huey Long.

arknet.bsky.social•167 days ago

Year round in person local community engagement, networking/action networks.

anabarrocas.bsky.social•167 days ago

This. And invest in good tv channel and on an even better social media presence. Build communities, in person and on line.

juadog.bsky.social•167 days ago

Talk in a much more down to earth, plain speaking manner. Much more energy, more bluntness and far less politeness in the face of the evil being pushed by Republicans. The message has to resonate with the working person and not sound elitist.

saslay.bsky.social•167 days ago

Leverage propaganda aimed at wyt males…

libange.bsky.social•167 days ago

A strong change in our educational system
Government, civics all that

libange.bsky.social•167 days ago

Somehow we need to reverse Citizens United
And blow up the”electoral college

suedanim.bsky.social•167 days ago

Trump & a VAST rightwing echo chamber, cable tv, radio, Internet web "spin-news" or conspiracy theories, YouTube& #TrumpRallies dominated& w/a"little secret"won.
But, we're GOOD GUYS right? We COUNTER fire

greengrandma.bsky.social•167 days ago

Learn to better fight the disinformation army.

barbaraellers.bsky.social•167 days ago

Motivate the 7 million Democrats who didn't vote this year to vote in 2028. How,? I don't know yet.

hlclark69.bsky.social•167 days ago

Use PAC money to run ads informing the public of the truth. Specifically run them on the republican echo chamber channels. They need to be shown the truth no matter how hard they try to hide from it.

mufcfan.bsky.social•167 days ago

Get rid of the electoral college, make voting compulsory and don't allow future candidates to be felons!

dbottinick.bsky.social•167 days ago

Counter the lies of right-wing & MSM media, expand reach of left wing media. Get people to vote.

drwho42.bsky.social•167 days ago

Hold more townhalls and increase outreach early. While fundraising is important we have to show that Dems are here to listen and work through the issues to arrive at solutions. Every Dem must agree to communicate the principle agenda for leadership and avoid infighting. Use mobile message boards.

insanekittenposse.bsky.social•167 days ago

Make people smarter.

grammy-says.bsky.social•167 days ago

Start campaigning now. (Jan 21) Part of the reason he won is he was on tv every day.

kiscokid.bsky.social•167 days ago

We had 4 years to put that prick behind bars , and we didn’t do it.

areasonforhope.bsky.social•167 days ago

More outrage and messaging about inflation and price gouging w/anecdotes about people that can’t afford to live anymore, make people feel seen and propose a solution like a stimulus bill.

emilytracy.bsky.social•167 days ago

Propaganda and lies work. Propaganda and lies work. Propaganda and lies work. The Dems had better figure out how to counter that.

5280rlc.bsky.social•167 days ago

Work to get college paid for, or offer more jobs that consider life experience. it’s elitist to assume everyone can afford college debt to get entry level positions. It’s divided the classes.

jfohatesmaga.bsky.social•167 days ago

Instead of registering so many voters get them to actually vote.

cynleader.bsky.social•167 days ago

Improve public education to teach civics, how government works, and how the economy works so voters understand how tariffs will cost them and that Republicans weaken the economy when in office. Tax the churches and the 1% to provide funding to give people a hand up in covering the cost of living.

rochelleh5023.bsky.social•167 days ago

A communicator to tell the AMERICAN ppl what the Democrats has to offer.

tythorjo.bsky.social•167 days ago

More outreach to young men and women.

ghostwrench.bsky.social•167 days ago

Echoing some of the other replies: I feel like better in person community engagement would be great. Conservatives have churches, liberals have … ??

grammy77.bsky.social•167 days ago

Tell voters how bad Republican issues will hurt them.

tommowle.bsky.social•167 days ago

Ensure people can hear the truth about the policies about to be implemented and their impact. I think many people will never learn of them and be taught the consequences are the Ds’ fault. For example, media may be prosecuted as violating natsec for reporting on the concentration camps to be built
