No, what lost the election was the DNC not listening to their voter base & instead trying to appease GOP voters. They did the same shit in 2016 when they pushed Clinton despite us picking Sanders. Hold everyone (even Dems) accountable for shitty actions. - ThreadSky

So we all lose by “teaching” the DNC a lesson. This is the best example chopping off your nose to spite your face!

hold them accountable in the primaries, not the generals

I voted for Harris considering I'm a marginalized person & understood the risks. But she lost the endorsement for multiple unions & organizations because she shifted policies towards the right & refused to listen to constituents. I blame yt supremacists who voted for 🍊 & the DNC cause they knew 1/?

I just want to make it clear that I’m not judging or coming after you, I agree with the issues you bring up. It’s so complicated!

I worked a union job for 23 years, and trust me when I say the group as a whole got more radicalized as time when on. Even though they benefitted from a union, they hated UNIONS! I think the Right just does a better job at manipulating people. The DNC does not know how to do that.

That's also sad about the folk within your union. But I'm talking about the unions who backed Biden but refused to back Harris due to her policies (or lack of.) They didn't back Trump either. Harris just didn't wanna listen to Union leaders. 😕

Dem base tends to be better educated, more difficult to manipulate. But you shouldn't run based on how manipulative you are, instead just simply listening to your damn voter base. (Universal healthcare, abobo protections, no 💣🍉, etc) They know this too

dems still haven't learned a thing. did you see the weekly show with jon Stewart and hakeem jeffries? dems STILL absolutely refuse to support medicare for all. or even an expansion of it. jeffries genuinely believes the ACA is fine. his only legislative focus is to "defend" it.

What at stake but it wasn't worth losing their PAC $$. Also don't forget the DNC funded MAGA candidates at the midterms. 🤡 2/2

You didn’t pick Sanders. He lost. There’s no world that he won in.

Do you not remember how the DNC changed the rules about superdelegates in the primaries? It was like a rich parent changing the rules of a kids game just because their child wasn't winning.

justinsigrist.bsky.social•14 days ago

Take the superdelegates away and she still won. Sorry. I voted for him. In CA. After it was already done. He lost.

the way the primary is done is just generally weird and undemocratic. it should be one day, all candidates, simple plurality vote. no dropping out, no caucuses, no delegates, none of that bs

justinsigrist.bsky.social•14 days ago

I don’t necessarily disagree.. but it’s not done that way.

gayemily.bsky.social•14 days ago

right. i think bernie would have had a good chance in the general, and maybeee in a fair primary.

margretwilsonart.bsky.social•14 days ago

Do you seriously not see how it's corrupt that DNC changed the rules for Clinton in 2016 and how the DNC interfering with the primaries TWICE now is a problem? Or we just never gonna discuss the corruption within the DNC?

gayemily.bsky.social•15 days ago

yeah, exactly. going hard on immigration only appeals to republicans. and why would they not just vote for trump who will go even harder. she should have focused entirely on a path to citizenship
