I'm not sure if the guy who thought Sen. Elizabeth Warren was a good candidate for president should be running the party.

He’ll definitely be better than those who thought Kamala Harris was a good candidate. What we need are fresh faces. New blood. New ideas. Anything but what we have now.

I’m not so sure Norm. We’ve been doing the same thing, over and over, through the decades, expecting different results and it never happens. At the start of the Great Depression there was a lot of Hoover supporters. Before the end they were mostly all behind FDR.

I’ll do it. Even though I’m Canadian

Endorse!!!

We don't wanna lose him in WI 😞

He needs to do something memorable right out of the gate.

I am in California but WisDems is (and has been) my only monthly donation.

Pardon my ignorance but how does the voting process work for the DNC?

annmeyers.bsky.social•116 days ago

Wisconsin Dem here: Part of his success has been building amazing ground game power and leadership development. He suffers no fools and cuts through bullshit from anyone like a hot knife through our prize-winning cheese. Don't count him out, even if the DNC chooses someone else.

I 1000% agree! He has set the gold standard for organizing in WI, and but for what I firmly believe is R cheating, D’s would have won there across the board in Nov. He’s my hero. Smart, young, thinks outside the box, attracts a LOT of talent. Go, Ben!

Awesome candidate. Wish we could clone him & keep the original in #WI!

nebraskanerd.bsky.social•116 days ago

Need somebody who understands the issues and seems like a good candidate.

For the record, I am on team Wikler!

Nice to see you posting here more often Norm. (We met briefly in Prague some years ago when Andy was ambassador.)

LFG!!!

I agree. He has been exceptional in Wisconsin.

eliteprogresscheck.bsky.social•89 days ago

Quit it with the establishment people , the Democrats brand is dead as dead and all they can do is put the same old milquetoast middle of the road folks forward. He is roundly entrenched in business as usual.Working class credibility from an outsider that calls bullshit is the key to rebranding.

Ben’s has been fantastic here in Wisconsin!!
