The DNC will be transferring over $1 million a month into state parties to fund on-the-ground organizing programs, training bootcamps, and critical staffing.

They fund people who run.
They don't have a stable of people they've interviewed.
It's a democracy. People have to run.
I recommend people start local and work their way up.
@runforsomething.net @votolatino.bsky.social @emergeamerica.bsky.social @momsdemand.bsky.social are good places to start.
VET those candidates. Like, Civics test vet. Like, dig up any dirt vet. Like interview them on tape (to see if they are human) vet.
No More Sinema, Manchin, Fetterman.
Sure. We agree. Progressives should run.
But, most people identify as moderate or conservative in the US.
Every Dem is having town halls. They are also doing town halls in GOP Districts. @ariellaelm.bsky.social @maudi63.bsky.social both have good threads on Dem activities.
I can always tell when leftists and progressives don't remember the Bush years after 9/11. Republicans got nearly EVERYTHING they wanted and nearly destroyed the filibuster. A bad Democrat (Joe Lieberman made Manchin look like AOC) in a Senate seat still better than no Democrat.
This is good but understanding just playing catch up to the most recent cruelty of this administration is not enough, money will not help that. People need to understanding your message of change which inspires us to be involved $ or not.
Stop begging for money. If you start to stand up to FOTUS and listen to your constituents, the money will flow in. Stop voting to support anything the GOP offers. Stop voting to confirm any of his picks for the courts, etc. We The People are pissed!
Dems should be uising this funding for organizing the mini-equivalent of a party/coalition-wide "constitutional conventions" to determine policies and platform within each state and nationally. THE OLD WAY IS NOT WORKING AND IS BALKANIZING THE BASE.
This is the way. Included in that needs to be our own "town halls" so that people from every "faction" of the Dem/liberal/progressive coalition can voice their concerns, demands, ideas, etc., AND ACTUALLY FEEL HEARD by leadership. Organizing and giving directions top-down IS NOT ENOUGH.
Voters are sick to death of the status quo, the feckless Democrats willing to reach across the aisle to Republicans who want to send us back to the time of the founding of the 13 colonies and a king. We want a progressive party that works on behalf of the 99%.
Glad to hear. Also start constant rallies. AOC and Bernie are rallying at persons. Someone else needs to come rally Black and Brown persons in their communities.
American suckers wanted to believe in the smiling Orange billionaire. Now they are angry. They know he has sold them the Brooklyn Bridge. They march. They will vote.🇺🇸
I'm happy @davidhogg.bsky.social is putting pressure on the party to elect better, stronger, more effective candidates. Primaries are a key part of democracy. And we have a lot of folks who are doing NOTHING to oppose 47's lawless junta.
I mean, he was very involved in Maxwell Frost's campaign. And frankly, there are plenty of corporate, poll-tested, Republican Lite Democrats to choose from.
Without a true left party led by labor and community leaders not beholden to corporations and capitalism, there is no way forward for the American working class. The DNC helped usher in Trump and fascism by offering us only the same, old bag of economic crumbs adorned in "social equality' makeup. BS
Cool, but please, Democrats, please tell your candidates to STOP THE TEXTS!
We're sick of fundraising texts. They come from presidential hopefuls all the way down to municipal judges from all 50 states - dozens a day sometimes.
It's not outreach at this point; it's harassment.
Democrats Need: DAILY PRESS BRIEFINGS. Doing this platforms broadcasting Dem messaging. DPBs offer immediate confrontation to the recent set of MAGA lies: to explain why MAGA tells the lies & then to neutralize the lies by flooding the zone with TRUTH.

Didn't the DNC hire a guy a few weeks ago, who is supposed to be good at unified (?) "messaging"? Didn't they also announce a "rapid response team" & "shadow cabinet"? Has there been follow up communicated? Announcing is not doing!

...as you crush David Hogg's attempts to bring fresh ideas into the party.
Here's a hint. Change your hearts or die. Excise your love of genocide or accept that a large swath of voters won't cross their own moral picket lines to support you any longer.
20 yrs Indiana has had a Republican Governor.
Exactly why Indiana is in the bottom 1/3 of every statistical category. 41st Healthcare. 50th natural environment. 29th Economy. 25th Education. 25th fiscal stability. Democrats in Indiana, lets Go. We can do better. 💙💙💙💙✊✊✊✊
The Democrats have failed us. They have so much infighting and the dire need to maintain a status quo that is no longer relevant. The inability to step aside for younger members to step up. There is no point to them anymore. we need like three new parties to grow out to start forcing coalitions.
Im not on the blue no matter who train after 2024.
I will decide my voting strategies in the present. Certain factions in the DNC are about as dangerous as the Republicans at this point, so I dont want my one vote being used by an analyst to justify autogenocide, or even just the regular kind.
I have been independent my entire life. I understand where you are coming from completely. I just don't see anything they can come up with in four years that is a vile as what the red team currently worships.
Counterintuitive as it is, R cant destroy its own opposition. If AIPAC and the Pelosicrats have their way, theyll destroy the progressive wing in the name of corporate interests, and wind back social progress to benefit from the power of systemic injustice. Blue Georgia is worth your life.
Yeah, but I hate they they have forced us to this. Hate it so much. All the waiting to see which way the wind blows to make a decision. All the infighting because we need to please the largest number possible while actually getting nothing done. Sick of all of it.
I want to see younger people step up, bring their brilliant minds to politics and advance our country putting Canadians first. I'm too old. I wish I had known back then what I've learned since 2015.
Your largest ever funding is $12mil/yr to state parties? Like, nationwide? $240,000/yr per state? Gosh that'll pay for almost one of those consultants you love so much huh
Democrats are supposed to be smart right? Surely they can figure out how to organize the money and messaging to absolutely decimate Trump and MAGA whose polling is abysmal on almost every topic.
What we need is actual plans on how Dems will get us actual living wages, affordable housing, Medicare4All, emergency climate change actions, affordable food. And fix your way off "stats" on the "average" income & household expenses for middle class. Otherwise, nothing else will work.
Good! Maybe y'all are waking up. Open local offices where people can feel free to come in to seek help if they need it. Have neighborhood canvassers let the public know there is a place they can go to for help.
I am in my seventies and a lifelong discouraged Dem. If you are reading this from another country I'm curious. Do political parties in your nation ask for donations from the people repeatedly to fund their campaigns? I'm poor and tired. Appreciate any input. Thank you.
Other countries have completely different campaign laws.
Campaign laws that have been passed because they voted for people who voted for campaign finance laws.
Here people keep voting for or supporting Republicans.
Or not voting.
We don't have any other kind of campaign financing.
Our campaign financing laws in the US are an abysmal failure. Most politicians here are very wealthy compared to the majority of people they ask to donate to them. We need to keep money out of politics and term limits in Congress. I stopped donating to political parties long ago.
I’m fed up with the lack of bold leadership in the Democratic Party. David Hogg is absolutely right—we need to replace the stagnant and ineffective Democrats who are failing to meet the moment, like Ken Martin.
it doesn’t address the dems weakness.
the dem’s weakness is messaging.
giving money to state parties doesn’t address their weakness.
and i like to think drinking beer is my superpower
Then you need to drink more beer. Winning elections is multifaceted and you need money to get your message out. If no one hears the message, it doesn’t matter what the message is. State elections are important, and lots of governor seats are up in 2026.

everyone.

They hindered Bernie Sanders and yet said they must not thumb the scale?
Chris Korge and et al, need to step down.
There are uncontested seats EVERYWHERE
That’s only $20,000 per state.
May I just say “Whoopidy” and “Doo.”
Keep going
Luckily, I think social media is not real life.
Hopefully that means I won’t have to share links like this every day anymore: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/clarkweblink
We need to replace Senator Roger Marshall in ‘26
😭
Another? @nancypelosi.bsky.social
One more? @connolly.house.gov
How about @hoyer.house.gov
@whipkclark.bsky.social trades more than Nancy

Give directly to campaigns on Act Blue.
1. Form a civilian-led investigation
2. Join the International Criminal Court
3. Fund state-level resistance
4. Educate all on rights and resistance
5. Leverage international media
6. Create a safe haven for defectors
7. TOPPLE DJT by chipping away the people that support him

Now if Conor Lamb, who appears to fulfill these 4Es, wants to primary Fetterman, I'd say go for it.

Go to the LEFT of supporting genocide, plz.

Democrats stop courting entrenched Republicans in the name of bipartisanship?
Democrats stop ignoring the base and fight for what's important to us?
The DNC stops letting donor$ select our candidates?
We stop donating to Democrats until they represent the progress these times demand?
The felon and his enablers must go!

B) Much, much, more is needed.
Ridiculous

I'm not convinced that 1 million per month is the answer without changes and clear, crisp messages.
Messages received:
Schumer screwed us over CR, he needs to go. Nancy restrained AOC advancements, she needs to go.
Democrats need to be acting like every single day is six days from Election Day.
Campaign laws that have been passed because they voted for people who voted for campaign finance laws.

& I would still say "DNC who?"
The damage is done.
The DNCs NecroPolitics has been exposed!
Yesterday's price is not
being offered anymore!
The DNC doesn't have to be dead, to be dead to me!
Also, pressure @schumer.senate.gov to step down as minority leader.
People need to see an opposition ready for the moment, and he's not it.
please someone start a viable third party cause the dems suck ass.
the dem’s weakness is messaging.
