democrats don't need remaking, they need a new way of reaching the American people that by-passes the filter of the shitstream media always twisting Dems to look bad & republican's shit look good. Dem policies are excellent.

Does anyone read the Dem Party Platform?

Convince me he's not just another political operative!

kerrysstuff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Did you actually watch or listen to the podcast?

I don't disagree with the plan that Ken Martin lays out, not at all. But he comes off all positive, almost naive in my opinion, and seems to lack the anger and passion that we need in a leader. We need an AOC or Crockett style leader now and he is not it.

Hey, credible allegations are surfacing that DC Mayor Muriel Bowser made deal with Trump - she’d have MPD help ICE find undocumented immigrants in DC if Trump would rescind all telework for federal employees.

Please investigate.

The old fockers, like ME😱, need to stand aside and allow younger leader to grow and gain power. That's the only hope. We need new ideas and new blood.

I’ve been thinking a little about the potential power of Boomer/Millenial partnerships. I’m more than willing to support bright young people who want to get involved.

The situation we're in seems to be a side effect of people living longer. What is the average age of a member of Congress? I think it best that older people remember we're turning the planet over to younger generations whether we like it or not. Old solutions may not always fix new problems

Nice!

bluetose.bsky.social•3 days ago

that's just how the Democratic party must become in these times. Be the ass kicking donkey, not the ass.

birdr2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Let’s change the Democratic Party’s name. Start anew with a powerful name.

strykerc6.bsky.social•3 days ago

Call me when you complete the transformation

Looks like the real cause of the loss may have been the R's massive voter suppression efforts. What if instead of second-guessing, hand-wringing, dumbing-down to pure kitchen table economics.....we should fight like they do and stop their voter suppression in order to start winning?

Will be watching this one !

Thank you.

sassyvan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can’t wait to listen!!
Thank you 🙏💙

I'm not all the way through it yet, but Ken said that Dems "can't stop campaigning" and that bugs me. You should totally stop campaigning. Stay actively engaged in your communities, serving them, listening to them, and not for the purpose of campaigning to win your next election.

lifeisavic.bsky.social•2 days ago

You should focus on what you can accomplish right now, that action will do more for your ballot numbers than "campaigning" will.

gertie2898.bsky.social•3 days ago

This was a great episode! I loved the 5 specific actions Ken recommended at the end 🙏💙🇺🇸

msbeereadhivebooks.bsky.social•3 days ago

They act like they have time to remake themselves before the next election when there's a COUP happening

mavislee.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump is starting the process of GASLIGHTING the world the way Putin gaslights his citizens.. Democrats NEED to get out there and challenge these lies! Call it what it IS! If you let the propaganda channels propagate it unchallenged, MAGA duped will begin believing it as usual! Get out there!

bluetose.bsky.social•3 days ago

trump gon burn in hell with all the lies and evilness in him.

rebeccamgrant.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Democratic Party is failing, it chose doing NOTHING as, we, voters watched HORRIFIED when criminals took over the entire government. I called my senators to hear a voicemail, received a vague thank you form letter, nothing more. What do we do and rely on? As Tammy Baldwin talks "bird flu"!

stadler91.bsky.social•3 days ago

Great interview! I think the best move was electing someone from flyover country, whether it was Ken or Ben Wikler. We need leadership and a party that talks to the people, not at the people. That was the reason Walz was getting a following, and why we ❤️ him in Minnesota. He is the common man.

comen-tator.bsky.social•3 days ago

I would definitely like to see the DEMs remake themselves into powerfully competent and aggressive protectors of the American people...
... too many times I've listened to the big talk but seen the puny results!
I want their promises to reflect only those things that they can and will do for USa!

robrule.bsky.social•3 days ago

Too late. The Dems have shown themselves to be completely ineffective in the face of a real constitutional crisis. It's time to remake the party into something better and more effective

msfahrenheit.bsky.social•3 days ago

To be fair, the only influence in politics should be voters, not lobbyists, corporations, or billionaires. Fix that. Dems should not be stealing responsibility for fascism from narcissistic, psychopathic maga; that is enabling and textbook. Be smarter. Make them OWN it.

Here’s another one Leigh:

With Democrats it’s
#FamiliesFirst
With Republicans, it’s
#BillionaireFamiliesFirst

Or as I’ve been saying for 23 years:

Vote blue for your children’s children
Vote Republican for your boss’s boss

Put yet another way, it’s:

The GOP is out for CEOs not average Joes

progtoddnorcal.bsky.social•3 days ago

Say @politicsgirl.bsky.social please consider this phraseology as a perfect gut punch to the #MAGAlomaniacs who have invested part of their own identity into their fervor for Trump.

Everything Trump and Musk are doing is
#SquanderingAmericasGreatness
as collateral damage to billionaire enrichment

mazelgirl.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Dems need a bunch of Jasmines and AOCs.

rgcartier.bsky.social•3 days ago

This was a great interview and a breath of fresh air for the Democratic Party. Everything that Ken was saying I agree with. I’ve seen the dems lose touch with the people over the past 20 years. Ken is absolutely what America needs and deserves. Thanks for this excellence in your podcasts. 👍👏😃🇨🇦
