No judgement from me here. Have no fear.

I want past Dem presidents to comment publicly and candidly on Trump’s actions. The old rules of decorum no longer apply. The people with loved experience in that office need to speak to the current situation.

postmortem11.bsky.social•76 days ago

When they go low, we knee them in the face. Get rid off all the old blood, get new voices that understand modern issues… like Moskowitz, Crockett and AOC…

gr8fl.bsky.social•76 days ago

How about tooting their own horn like fucking crazy for what they e done??!!

rtechgaming.bsky.social•76 days ago

Younger, hungrier blood, more fight, less concern for norms, less allowing Republicans to get away with their bullshit, more taking credit for what they actually do, and more damn loyalty to the brand. Vet out anyone who'd flip sides to curry favor. Oh & no more olive branches for Nazi Republicans.

👍

Be actual democrats, listen to their voters instead of ideologies, stop manipulating the primary process for their luminaries, and give candidates an actual chance instead of hamstringing them with a campaign of just 100 days.

derekosgood.bsky.social•76 days ago

I need them to sweep the leg, Johnny.

flipfreshplane.bsky.social•76 days ago

More fire. More fight.

Real talk - @aoc.bsky.social could run a TED talk on this subject.

And mind you, the right wing doesn't have fighters but a majority of shit talking excuse throwers that look like fighters when our side doesn't even respond in kind.

elizabethj-ink.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yesssssss!

varricschesthair.bsky.social•76 days ago

Chuck Schumer needs to walk into the sea

sunni11.bsky.social•76 days ago

Speak out (passionately) about the things that matter! Stay heated…don’t back down. Take a few more risks and use the system like the Rep do with ease.

desertyeti.bsky.social•76 days ago

Younger.

Message on issues that matter to VOTERS, not party operatives.

Don’t beat people over the head with things they aren’t comfortable with. Meet them where they are.

Overhaul entire strategy system.

Rebuild left-leaning media sphere.

jreitz17.bsky.social•75 days ago

The democratic party is too beholden to corporate interests and big donors to effectively represent the people. I am weary of the DNC declaring whose turn it is next when it should be the grassroots selecting the candidates, not them. I have little faith that anything will change.

pranadog.bsky.social•75 days ago

Well for one they should have supported AOC!

lindygryf.bsky.social•76 days ago

Younger leadership, bring a knife to the fight. Pound on the lies with counter truths. Set up ways to communicate to the base and more.

elizabethj-ink.bsky.social•75 days ago

The elders that want to hang on to the status quo need to go. Let people who have the fire and energy get to work against the clown show that is about to take over. Current Dem leadership is throwing up its hands against STUPIDITY, and I suspect there just might be a better way.

sofladon.bsky.social•76 days ago

The average age. Dems need younger leadership.

hannibal-chau.bsky.social•76 days ago

I like AOC and Pete.

soxmom76.bsky.social•76 days ago

They need to grow some and become a lot more cut throat instead of hoping the other side will actually do the right thing

robhopkins.bsky.social•76 days ago

Stop pretending that the GOP is beholden to Reagan or McCain ideas and norms.

rbrauner.bsky.social•76 days ago

Start working for the interests of their constituents instead of lobby groups and big business. Right now they are the caviar "left"

fiverumbeach.bsky.social•76 days ago

Almost everything needs to be changed. The few bright spots like AOC and Pete B should lead us into the future.

hannibal-chau.bsky.social•76 days ago

Agreed.

hwpage.bsky.social•76 days ago

Stop trying to be moderate and always move to be more centrist. Say it like it is.

cullenskink.bsky.social•76 days ago

Learn the tough lesson that they got absolutely creamed in the media war this time around, and they cannot win without regaining ground there.
Pick a big, popular policy (*koff* healthcare) and run on that.

cullenskink.bsky.social•76 days ago

STOP. BRINGING. A. SPOON. TO. A. KNIFE. FIGHT.

lacentrist.bsky.social•76 days ago

Get more aggressive and go on the offensive. I see they are always defending and they need to take the lead. Out with the senators and reps that have been there way too long. An infusion of new talent is definitely needed. Actually talk to their constituents rather than sending text messages.

hannibal-chau.bsky.social•76 days ago

I love going on the offensive. That’s how battles are won.

janabw81.bsky.social•76 days ago

This. All of this!!!

cja70.bsky.social•76 days ago

I them to filibuster and block everything. Vote as a block always. No more Manchins, Sinemas, or bernies.

quinnq.bsky.social•76 days ago

Yes! This is exactly right. We have a democracy to save.

marianherra.bsky.social•75 days ago

Exactly!👏👏👏👏

lakegirl-69.bsky.social•76 days ago

Stick to the economy. The party wants to be inclusive and address all social issues, but we’re losing because we don’t focus. Also, I’ve been accused of again for this, but we need a mandatory retirement age OR additional term limits.

girlybojon.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well, for one, stop making dumbass decisions like passing up AOC for Connolly. That sent out the wrong message on so many levels, it's hard to even know where to begin.

And I'm not fond of the "rolling over" without a fight. Post-election optics are pathetic---quit looking weak, for shit's sake.

trumph8r.bsky.social•76 days ago

Everyone over 70 is out. Stop bringing sticks and stones to a knife fight. When they go low, we CALL THEM OUT! Embrace social media and get young ppl to run it. Everyone needs to be on the same fucking page and be louder about what we are doing and why! Offense! Stop playing defense all the time.

sheldrake157.bsky.social•76 days ago

Time for some new blood.

akor45.bsky.social•76 days ago

Real leadership that also doesn't have one foot in the grave or is not beholden to the oligarchs and corporations.

headcrash.bsky.social•76 days ago

More lying. More cheating. I am not kidding.

hannibal-chau.bsky.social•76 days ago

I wouldn’t mind that.

fiverumbeach.bsky.social•76 days ago

This. The problem is we keep bringing wet noodles to a gunfight. We're playing chess, and they're racing F1 cars. We HAVE to start playing their game.

pranadog.bsky.social•75 days ago

I want a party I can trust. The need younger people and more fight but not lying.

purplehaze4579.bsky.social•76 days ago

They should not confirm a felon into office. Doesn't the 14th amendment address that? Have dems refuse his nomination. Biden has full immunity.

nothingbutbig.bsky.social•75 days ago

Best Defense is offense. Find your spine. Stop with the bipartisan reach across the isle BS. Focus on the kitchen table issues. Basically channel your inner AOC/Jasmine. I’m even 50+, white, upper income, and you’ve even lost me. I’ll pay more taxes, start helping people with health&child care, etc.

attheroadhouse.bsky.social•76 days ago

I’d like the dnc leaderships to be more transparent and effective at every level of state and federal government.

strangebrickdroog.bsky.social•76 days ago

Realize that all goalposts have been moved, then removed.

Realize that politics is now show business, but you can still state the truth (it just has to be neatly packaged and presented with flashy things).

Don’t be afraid to swing low.

rahealy.bsky.social•76 days ago

Democrats should be the party of fiscal responsibility. Democrats always manage the deficit better than republicans. We should claim it. Also, religion. Jesus would be a democrat. The democrat party should clearly call out the republicans morally reprehensible policies as evil.

cnsparks17.bsky.social•76 days ago

Call Republicans on the bullshit.

mschrbr.bsky.social•76 days ago

It’s past time for the batons to be passed. It’s time for those that should retire-retire. Democrats need to get unified and stand up for one another not be so quick to throw each other under the bus. They need to get stronger voices and be heard loud and clear.

adelph.bsky.social•76 days ago

They need a media system to broadcast their achievements

illytechguy.com•75 days ago

First, they need to cede leadership to the new generation. The old guard is out of touch and are...well...old. Then they have to fix healthcare. End tax loopholes for the rich. Be tough. Stick to your guns. No more playing nice. Redefine what a liberal is, embrace it.

twoyutes.bsky.social•76 days ago

New leadership.
New leadership.
And new leadership.

hunnybun100.bsky.social•76 days ago

Performance matters more now

Orient to results for the most voters

Normal politician isn’t selling

Politicians must be fighters for people

We can’t win national elections w lawyers now- but need lawyers for legislating

We need a new party leader than exemplifies the party values intrinsically

syriusdobermann.bsky.social•76 days ago

Get rid of the olds. Mandatory retirement at 65.

hannibal-chau.bsky.social•76 days ago

I was thinking 70. Same page though.

pranadog.bsky.social•75 days ago

Ya 70

gomerlou.bsky.social•76 days ago

Stop grabbing pearls. STOP FOLLOWING MITCH'S RULES.
CALL A LIAR "LIAR". CALL A THIEF "THIEF". CALL THE WHORES "WHORES", etc.

shaner38.bsky.social•76 days ago

Goddamn learn how to fight dirty. Break the rules. Understand who you're fighting against. Stop being such wusses.
