Anyone justifying national Democrats' current strategy to you is committing massive, possibly world historic political malpractice, including the elected officials themselves.

Reposted from Jake Grumbach

In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6.

Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

Its time for regular folks to get informed, organized, and active asap before it’s too late

Can they hire Harris' entire social media team?

pevohr.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Don't just hire them.
Listen to them.
Promote them.
Hell, give 'em a budget + unleash them!

It's time to stop letting 🎃 + 🤡 define the narrative by spewing incoherent shock + awe in all directions. What they're trying to do is indefensible, so knock 'em back on their heels + make them react

There's plenty of energy to harness here, so experiment + find ways to channel all that

You'll know you're finally heading in the right direction when you're making tactical decisions between:

• what's getting TikTok traction from your Gen Z team
• is "minions" or "ewoks" more emasculating?
• where to send JB Pritzker vs. Janet Mills
• getting Hagan Scotten TV-ready
• listening to AOC

I'm not sure what the collective strategy should be. But I am sure that the acting-relatively-normal strategy while the powers of Congress and the People are systematically dismantled is wrong. It's like they're on the Titanic complaining about the price of food.

It’s time for the young leaders to step up. Time for Cory Booker to unmuzzle himself or step aside.

This is FOURTEEN POINTS WORSE than the climate that launched the Tea Party

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Adam Kinzinger came up in that era and has suggested the current climate is amenable to a new pro-democracy, anti-billionaire grassroots movement.

We’re in a plane, the pilot and copilot are slumped over the controls as we head right for a mountain, we’re trying to kick in the door to the cockpit and the rest of the passengers are saying “just let them wake up on their own”

Calling it a strategy feels generous, tbh

fleerultra.bsky.social•10 hours ago

i really think the minus 8 number is actually inflated by people who just assume they’re doing max obstruction and it would be worse if those people were all aware of the real strategy currently being used

aaronhuertas.bsky.social•10 hours ago

The worst part is that they do have a hardcore opposition mode, but only activate it for nuking primary challengers

In the eyes of the people in charge of the Democratic Party, India Walton is an existential threat but Donald Trump isn’t

aaronhuertas.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I want them to occupy the House and Senate floors for as long as possible using procedural obstructions until the constitutional crisis ends, while also encouraging mass rallies, direct action.

What they are doing now is 99% business as usual opposition party work.

Toss in leadership stating that they'll pull endorsements for incumbents that repeatedly vote for fascist laws and nominees as well. The Senate seems more on board for this, but there's about 25-50 Dems in the House who seem fine with just letting fascism happen so long as they get re-elected.

msipher.bsky.social•9 hours ago

I want them to not fucking vote for Trump's fucking arsonists in exchange for a fucking three-day weekend so they can go on fucking taxpayer-paid retreats overseas at the very fucking least.

erichluepke.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Their power is hanging on by a thread. If they don't act now they risk being rolled over. I don't know how they don't realize this.

dustinheron.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Once again, if the people criticizing Democrats are so powerful as to create a national approval rating of -8, why doesn't the party simply listen to them?

asnc20.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Dems should also be holding DAILY pressers explaining what is going on and why and what they are doing about it. (suggested by Congresswoman Crockett)

xinrtj.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Yes. And they shd be getting popular Dem governors in midwest to do this daily. And going into purple districts - there’s no law says they can only speak in their own districts - and standing outside hospitals, banks, & SSA offices, telling voters what BigBalls is up to.

asnc20.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Governors seem to be doing better than Congress ppl.MOC seem to think we elected them so that they can start raising money to get reelected.

xinrtj.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Yeah, there’s a lot of that unfortunately. Keep calling their office and don’t give them any peace.

biminiroad.bsky.social•9 hours ago

An example I can think of is Ro Khanna at the start saying he’d be happy to work with Doge and just yesterday send a fundraise text about how democrats have to stop Project 2025. Voters already know the direction republicans are going. It’s frustrating that our elected officials are oblivious.

What if the malpractice clears out the Democratic gerontocracy that led us to the gates of hell?

johnbrownbread.bsky.social•9 hours ago

The “do nothings” are now a minority of the party and can safely be ignored. Many of these dems will be primaried for their lack of a spine. It’s about time time democrats actually stood up and fought

mattrobb.bsky.social•10 hours ago

WTF is the strategy?

aaronhuertas.bsky.social•10 hours ago

do business-as-usual opposition work, let the Republicans own the bad economy and chaos they're creating then sweep the midterms

mattrobb.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Does rather assume there will be mid-terms... slightly curious why they're not hammering harder on the obvious corruption.

But maybe they think the louder they shout the less anyone listens

nero-wolfe.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Afraid to alienate Silicon Valley donors. They will either figure it out or be replaced like the Whigs.

amstradsen.bsky.social•9 hours ago

They have put the most clueless possible people in charge of the party.
