Looking forward to hearing Wikler’s specific ideas for change (WE NEED BIG CHANGES) in the Party, including investing in local races, moving away from TV ads, and focusing more on social media, where the people are—but his statement is a promising start.

It was a slight majority of the electorate who were flawed.

We’re not winning republicans with cheap tricks.
We will win them by better messaging about functional programs. Leave the shitbird republicans out of it.
You can only switch parties 3 months PRIOR to Democratic primaries
NOTE: and vett your candidates better
I don't expect that
I am not a party guy
I do wish the Democratic Party would lean heavily on it's promises to the People
But then, I wish the Republican Party would return to its socialist roots, represented by its 1st Pres, A.L.
We are fighting against people who break laws and have no ethics or morals.
People who lie constantly and tell different groups exactly what they want to hear.
@repjasmine.bsky.social please take Winkler's butter knife away.
New Jersey is only blue because of tiny North Jersey.
We are at a crossroads here.
It’s a whole other state here.
The rest of the state is why NJ was the *only* northern state to *not* elect Abe Linclon… TWICE😒
Hopefully everyone realizes that.
Ok Yeah, sure, I guess I’m open to new ideas too.. fuck it, let’s hear the man out.
What I see is that TikTok is where a lot of younger people are getting their "information" from.
We need to get younger influencers posting engaging material on TikTok.
We need to show the people, especially younger people the good things we have done. Remember that anyone 14 and up can vote next election. Why do so many people not know that the ACA is Obamacare??
Not all Trump voters couldn't talk policy. There are plenty of them that care about the future, for their daughters.
They care about food shortages and inflation due to mass deportation and tariffs.
The right messaging works.
Will it better for some people?
Why?
How is immigration good? What happens when there is none?
Where have all the tax cuts gone?
What is an authoritarian dictator?
They won because they tapped into hate and anger by offering up insane solutions that supposedly will help the disgruntled.
Not memes or pictures with college level graphs and inference. Understandable explanation of what we have done and why.
Has anyone ever compared corporate profits then to corporate profits now? Wages? Living wages?
When did it change? Why?
Real things that really impact lives.
Invest in volunteers/GOTV longterm, not just a week before an election
Steer away from celebrities
Aging boomer here, for 10 yrs I have been saying Dems need to run younger candidates because they will live the future not us. The boomers can be emeritus sounding posts and mentors even staffers to help them when things get sticky but it is way past time to pass the torch.
