UPDATE: Without control of the White House or Congress, the new DNC chair, Minnesota's Ken Martin, will lead a Democratic Party that is still figuring out its future after a bruising election.

who cares? the ones in office have no spine...i will never give money to or vote for another federal level dem again. local politics only. we are in A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS FFS! DO SOMETHING!
LMCTA...the current blues have failed us by not speaking up when they could have, and I will not vote to keep them in office local or otherwise. 2024 was EI-please see Iowa/Nevada-hell read world headlines-and will be so under the current admin. your Vote will not matter-please see Russia DUH
Democratic leadership. What a joke. Everything that's going to happen in the next 4 years, I blame them. For the past 20 years THEY'VE DONE NOTHING while the Republicans chip away at every social advancement so many people have sacrificed for. Trump is just the culmination of their schemes.
@wyden.senate.gov ES&S acknowledged that some of the election management systems the company sold for voting actually did have remote access software installed.
Oh, this is simple, DON'T COMPROMISE,
GROW A F***ING BACK BONE, AND TOSS YOUR CORPRACRAT "LEADERS" TO THE CURB. The corporate wing MUST be destroyed. They have brought us NOTHING but shame and defeat. GO LEFT, then KEEP GOING LEFT!!! Remember,
Deny, defend, depose.
If they want any chance of winning, they must full stop campaigning on " vote for us we're not them." Pick something that more than 50% want and sell the shit out of it.
Success will require a plan with a moderate party agenda. It should focus on attracting swing voters while swaying the far left in the party to embrace the plan.
Wrong moving right is not going to win. Kamala’s most popular policy, that she abandon at the DNC, was price caps and when Republicans complained it became more popular. Leftist policies are more popular especially when communicated. Way better than moving to the right and Trump 2020 policies
You seem to think in absolutes and have a defeated thought about how a more moderate agenda will work. We need to think solutions and not lean further left because it is what some want.
I mean when Kamala leaned left for a second she had a ton of momentum and excitement. Once she moved far right the enthusiasm died and her VP was awkward pushing policies he didn’t believe in. I am looking to win not to lose because you are trying to pull republicans
He's just more of the same. Stuck in the past, focused on keeping the status quo, and believing the Reps are operating in good faith. He's the wrong person, at the wrong time.
election wasn't bruising, the results were manipulated by GOP governors who harassed, threatened, & suppressed voters, removed people from the voting rolls and a media that insisted on making a 2x impeached convicted felon who incited an insurrection normal
The DNC will be back after the most significant market bubble burst in history. Hopefully, left-leaning folks are getting out, and we can leave maga holding the bag.
They’ve already let their buyers decide their future for them. I will vote for the lesser evil until lawful good has the momentum to win. And at the same time, you bet I hold my reps accountable. The ends never justify the means. Corruption in the means invariably creeps into the result.
Love you, NPR, but you gotta start focusing on the hostile takeover of the US that's happening right now.
There's no sense worrying about making enemies with the Trump/Musk administration. They will never treat you fairly, no matter what you say or do.
Now is the time to arm the public with info.
Thanks for sharing @sschwenninger.bsky.social I read the plan and provided some feedback on the form. I believe we need to think outside the box and increase our organization efforts to include schools, parents and school boards.
A few easy fixes-
1. Let Dem constituents choose our candidate.
2. Have PLANS for repairing the economy.
3. SHOW UP and communicate with the country, not just favored states.
4. KEEP the border secure. NO MORE foreign invasions.
5. KEEP our money in the USA & use it for US citizens.

The consultants got us into this mess, it's time to let the people tell the party what they want. Appointed Democrats tend to do quite poorly against Republicans, and drive voters to the Green Party.
I didn't go Green. I "held my nose" and voted Harris, knowing Trump would win. At least with Trump, we get a smidgen of what we want, with granted, a whole lot we don't. At least under Trump, law abiding, US citizens are favored. (I even had to hold my nose to stay that...)
I was the same way. The only party I despise more than the Ds and Rs, now is the Green Party of the United States. The Green Party of the United States has become in practice more anti-Democrat than progressive. I just hope the Democrats can change their tune on progressives before it's too late.
I figured out long ago that the DNC(do nothing committee) and the RNC(Racist Narcissistic Committee) all drink from the same PAC vat of cool aid. We need to save ourselves; the Calvary is not coming.
It’s not a matter of his knowing either science or firefighting. He doesn’t know the water system in CA or care. He said he was going to do something and it was done by royal decree, regardless of the results, just like everything else he’s been doing these days.
Came here to write that. God, that was terrifying. I mean, they have a long history of idiocy, but still, you'd hope they'd at least tell the idiots in power that this isn't a good idea.
It wasn’t a bruising election. They suppressed 4 million votes @gregpalast.bsky.social and the drop off ballots in 6 swings, Clark county, Florida and Texas. @electiontruthalliance.org has the data and suing.
Ken Martin needs to fight every day.
Crush GOP lies in a bold aggressive way.
Push back hard against the dishonest crew.
Battle for values that Democrats hold true.
Before he can fight the GQP, he needs to get rid of all the third way bullshit artists, billionaire donors, and the other false progressives who use trendy social issues to disguise out of touch economic policies. He also needs to stop the stonewalling of economic progressives.
But does he know how to light a fire under their a$$? That’s what needs to happen. Time to quick licking the ‘bruises’ and fight like our democracy depends on it.
hey, what are you doing about that !A violating investigation by CARR who is leading a poltiical attack on the service that well all own via private donations?
The foreign born billionaire industrialist who installed a puppet government and had his junta this past week purging departments and inserting loyalists in the levers of power.
All the while the dope he installed in the White House announced big tax hikes are coming for Americans.
All democrats have done, and will do is "assume the position" instead of being effective opposition, just like they did in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024
This GenX cis white lady was politicized by living through the Reagan Era. Stuck with the Dems ferociously through all of this. 2024 broke me. I’m done. Make me want to vote again because right now I don’t see the point.
Are you watching what’s happening now? It’s because 81M+ mostly independents and Dems couldn’t be bothered to vote. It was one of the closest elections in history. And, even if 80% of that 81M+ lived in gerrymandered places, the leftover 20% would have buried Mango Mussolini.
Which Dems in leadership are working on this at the national level? And what’s the strategy? Are they planning to listen to the voices of the people on the ground?
I haven’t seen much action out of anyone but AOC and Jeffries. it’s mostly words as far as I can tell.I would like many more lawsuits,but we haven’t seen much there—bc Reps have used Exec Orders that are POTUS’ right.
All that matters is the house went blue in 2018 after two years of trump. The margin in congress is slim and can swing back like it did the first time. We do what we did the first time to socialize and talk to people in person locally, but even better.
How odd Democrats, we are not allowed to know the names of the 448 voting members of the party..wtf! And now they will write a platform in which we have no input.
Perhaps the Democratic leadership can start taking accountability and stop deflecting their shortcomings. It’s time to step it up or move out of the way for the younger, more motivated Americans who want to see an actual democracy and not this circus. The world is watching us, remember that.
Ken better figure something out in a fcking hurry, because Musk, Trump & co. are taking a sledgehammer to all of our institutions on speedeun mode. We are *currently* in a Constitutional crisis while these guys are all just sitting there licking their wounds and asking why.
He admitted it! I can’t remember if it was at the inauguration, some speech since the election he said he won because “Elon is good with computers”. Then there’s all the suppression tactics, most of which were greenlit by a judge. All the roll purges, the gerrymandering, etc.
I don’t think it’s over, though. As bad as it gets, we can’t give in to despair. We have to dig in & hunker down, sure. But we also will be organizing an offensive. Look at all the s*it they had to do to get here & it took over 50 years of work! They are outnumbered & they know it.
I’m not despairing. I think there are a few avenues but voting isn’t going to work the way things are right now. Since this is a world issue, I’m placing my bets on outside prosecution and I believe that all the details can be unearthed. But that’s my opinion. I will vote in 2 years regardless
Remembering that we have friends in the world is definitely a consolation. I heard that Biden met with the International Criminal Court before he left office, too. Here’s to hope 🥂
The house has a very slim majority. Trump barely won. The media likes to peddle in exaggerations. You’ve been gaslighting the country since he rode down his escalator. You can fucking stop now
Well it sure seems like the trade war we just entered this weekend is going to put this theory to the test. Pretty sure those folks weren't voting for it. But what do I know? I'm just a garbage man.
What it's future is? To me that is obvious. They need to stage an all out war against the magat, nazi machine. Go on the offensive loud and constant. Fight back and fight dirty. Quit worrying about the next election because if they don't there won't be a next election
Well here’s hoping he moves to the left and works on messaging because this moving to the right and pushing 2020 Trump policies is going to lead to more losing
Thanks to the mainstream media bending over for Trump and Republicans, 🇺🇸 is now a fascist dictatorship. What about the ongoing coup you’re not reporting about? Instead look over here & bash the Dems.
We should have done a forensic investigation of this entire election!! Too much does not add up; esp Trump winning every swing state plus ballots with Trump for president and everything down ballot is Democratic!! 😡

Don't have time to figure out the future right now. How about dealing with the present

7. Be pro-ENTIRE USA, not just favoring a few states.
1. Let Dem constituents choose our candidate.
2. Have PLANS for repairing the economy.
3. SHOW UP and communicate with the country, not just favored states.
4. KEEP the border secure. NO MORE foreign invasions.
5. KEEP our money in the USA & use it for US citizens.

If they continue to compromise with Republicants, they will continue to lose.
If they do not no wield every lever of power to accomplish their goals when they control office, they deserve to lose.
🤡
An actual stolen election.
Posterity already proves the economy does better under the Democrats tutelage
