Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power - ThreadSky

what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

that's how we got biden tbh imho, and the next trump that came to power was the same trump we got last time

It was a worse Trump because he planned to win this time.

Yep. Rebuild stronger.

And not just them, but all their strategists too.

Yes! Please fire every single strategist or political consultant democrats have used the past 15 years!!

Assuming we even have an election again. Are we going to still be standing come April, let alone by the next primary season?

DNC old guard "maybe if we just run a LITTLE bit more to the center and signal bipartisanship a bit more and avoid all fights or standing for anything, the fascists will feel sorry enough for us to stop being fascists"

supersaiyan7.bsky.social•43 minutes ago

More like "I can use this opportunity to punch left and then someone will give me a big bag of money to punch left and I never have to work at anything"

We need ranked-choice voting like other countries have, to break the partisan lock we're forced into.

The current system perpetuates corruption through the "lesser of two evils" theory.

Also, we need recall options:

More than primary, we should scare them out if they want to fight us harder than him.

"Tread water until . . ." EXACTLY! Where is their #ShadowCabinet? Where is the beginnings of THEIR #2028Plan ? Where is their Comms Point Person doing DAILY press conferences to control the narrative? I WANT to believe these are serious people but . . . .

badstatistics.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Totally.

Destroying the party fighting on your side is the only way to win.

rdml.transsexual.navy•16 hours ago

they're NOT fighting is the problem, on our side or at all

badstatistics.bsky.social•14 hours ago

They are. Perhaps not in the genre you'd prefer, but they are.

My biggest worry. The GOP is going to struggle to fill the Trump-sized hole in their party, which means the Dems could trip and fall into a landslide victory in 4 years with no idea how they got it or what exactly they're supposed to do with it.

msderohanes.bsky.social•10 hours ago

You sell the dems short. They might not be good at rhetoric, or gutter fights, but they know very very well how to make good laws.

Every major law that improved the American People's lives in the last 80+ years was passed by the Dems.

Dems do good things and often don't get credit. Unfortunately, they believe if they simply do good things, people will see that and vote for them. Meanwhile, there's a massive propaganda machine telling people Dems are terrible. We have to capture the narrative so we can win and do good things.

rowyourbot.bsky.social•11 hours ago

They will want to preserve the status quo. Many will try to use the opportunity of fascism to shift the party to the right. After 35 or so years of doing this, with it all ending up in fascism, they still have many people convinced this is the best strategy.

Like, what's the odds of the Democratic Party as it exists now fixing something even purely symbolic, like changing it back to the Gulf of Mexico? I don't even think it's as high as 50/50.

Fixing something of substance? I've got no faith there.

terminalaftermath.bsky.social•16 hours ago

this is what makes me feel like an idiot who has no idea how the political system works: how do I help primary these assholes and get them out? What do I do? Donate, volunteer?
