I think we need to form a NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY! The current failed leadership (if you can honestly call it leadership) hasn’t figured out Dems are DEMANDING NEW, YOUNGER, ACTIVE and sometimes AGGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP! We are tired of the geriatric, status quo, no fight, good ol boy regime! - ThreadSky

There's a reason SOOOOO MANY people stayed home this election. And the Democrat establishment just further proved that point. When will they LEARN?!?!?

doggielover.bsky.social•74 days ago

I seriously don’t believe they “get it”! They’re sure we’re just “temporarily” “unhappy” that we lost!
They BELIEVE that THEY KNOW BETTER!

redharchi13.bsky.social•75 days ago

THIS! Yes! 10000%

We must join the party and make the change from within, follow the tea party strategy of taking out the old guard at the precinct level

doggielover.bsky.social•74 days ago

We ARE “joined” and have been! The problem is the current (& past) state of the Party is both unwilling to change or open to change. Pelosi supporting a dinosaur with throat cancer over a healthy AOC is a perfect example. You can’t change it from within if you’re not even allowed to be part of it.

txharbinger.bsky.social•73 days ago

Let go of the attachment to the Democratic party. A strong 3rd party actually is our best hope for real change tho. Bluesky has me encouraged for large scale mobilization. Let's make it happen!

fraochs.bsky.social•73 days ago

Working Families Party has established a good foundation.

doggielover.bsky.social•73 days ago

Looked them up. Read the website and honestly it gave NO insight into their positions exactly. No idea if they’re conservative, liberal, ?

fraochs.bsky.social•72 days ago

doggielover.bsky.social•72 days ago

I thought I was reading something from MAGA! They did just that! Well, they didn’t run MANY as Dems but certainly there were winning Dems who immediately switched Parties to GOP after they won! Still don’t know your stand on women’s health, abortion, transgenders, gays, immigrants, religion & race.

fraochs.bsky.social•72 days ago

You are just a troll of something

doggielover.bsky.social•73 days ago

I’ll look them up but the name is already exclusive because many of us are not working or families, unless you’re counting single cat ladies or men!

nickatnada.bsky.social•75 days ago

It’s just really hard. Andrew Yang formed the Forward Party after 2020 and they endorse candidates who are running and put forward a forward party candidates. But when it comes to the ballot box, it’s easier for people to go left or right. I think new party only works with ranked choice voting.

vorail.bsky.social•75 days ago

ranked choice voting has worked well so far, correct? in a more fluid system, the Andrew Yang's of the world hear and are heard by more people. i posted my thoughts on https://CanUListen.com and hope to hear yours, voice = human connection.

jarratt.bsky.social•74 days ago

Great comment.

I'd trow in open primaries and independent redistricting as complementary mechanisms.

doggielover.bsky.social•74 days ago

You’re spot on! The gerrymandering is to the point of ridiculousness!

cynthiashiloh.bsky.social•73 days ago

This exactly!

progress4people.bsky.social•71 days ago

The Leaders of the Democratic Party are too tied to big money donors to push for real meaningful change. We've worked inside the Democratic Party and it's getting us nowhere. Progressive Democrats like AOC need to strongly consider forming a new Party or a sub-party within the Dems for primaries.

akadams.bsky.social•21 days ago

Like a Progressive Alliance aligning like-minded dems (& whoever) into a caucus that grows by raising funds, backing win-ready pols and leveraging its strength into influence on the committee system and better seats at the legislative table. Best use of a rotting donkey carcass: a cordyceps play. 🙃

nancystaack.bsky.social•74 days ago

Getting organized is the first step.

coffee-grimace.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yes!
Much farther left than the current leaders.

doggielover.bsky.social•75 days ago

It’s not about being FURTHER Left. Frankly in CA, it’s Dem Legislators who have given the Left a bad name! It’s about being sane, accountable, reasonable, energetic, forward thinking. None of that says TIRED, GERIATRIC POLITICIANS, unable to CONSIDER ANYTHING OUTSIDE of their old unsuccessful ways.

takemusu.bsky.social•75 days ago

Young progressives must run for office at all levels. We olds will support you in every way. @runforsomething.bsky.social can help get you started.

scoobiemom.bsky.social•74 days ago

Young doesn’t always, if ever, mean smart. Experience is necessary, LIFE experience.

doggielover.bsky.social•74 days ago

I know PLENTY of younger people who are both intelligent and responsible. Jasmine Crocket is a great example. Age doesn’t always equate to more, or valuable life experience or intelligence! Let’s use Gym Jordan, Tuberville or Herschel Walker 🤭 One look at Trump rallies was proof of that.

catsnorchids.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yeah...the meek are definitely not inheriting the Earth!
The wealthy are!!
This shit is REAL.

This is actually starting to smell like that One World Order the "right wing" conspiracy theorists
Have been saying the Left have been setting up....only IT'S THE BLOODY RIGHT WING NATIONALISTS INSTEAD

vorail.bsky.social•75 days ago

a country run by billionaires where media is being scarred into submission will probably not turn out well for 99% of us. as AI advances and humanoid robots drop in price, why would billionaires need us? i posted my thoughts on https://CanUListen.com and hope to hear yours, voice = human connection.

truebluedeb1.bsky.social•75 days ago

So true and yet so very scary that we are here - living it 😬🫣

hol-la.bsky.social•75 days ago

They figured it out, they know, and they're telling us no. Let's form a new party by kicking out those dusty mfers and taking their seats. This should be our 2026 focus. I'm trying to put together a map for the seats of limp dicked Dems up for grabs in midterms

kittymombo.bsky.social•75 days ago

A handshake means as little as a man's word. We are living in a different time. The people on the hill, lived thru Jan 6 and came out with the same old fashioned mindset. Let the courts sort it out. We are living in different times. Term limits would cure a lot.

machminotaur.bsky.social•75 days ago

"let the courts sort it out" you have to prosecute for that to work. the dems didn't want to prosecute trump. even for the most loyalist blue dog dems they should be absolutely enraged by that.

we can't rely on the courts, and most of them are republican run anyways.

vorail.bsky.social•75 days ago

term limits for all branches (including supreme court) could change things for the better, but has anyone in power ever willingly given up power? if it happens, will have to be grassroots campaign. i posted my thoughts on https://CanUListen.com and hope to hear yours, voice = human connection.

creamymayo.bsky.social•75 days ago

Unfortunately term limits would only mean their final term would be a complete sellout to the highest bidder. They wouldn't be beholden to voters anymore since they can't get reelected.

kittymombo.bsky.social•74 days ago

And that's different from now....how? Because, Cornyn & Cruz don't live in Texas. They haven't the slightest clue what's happening. Cornyn was asked, by a vet, about medical care and he fumbled over his words. It's embarrassing. They should have to wear who pays them on their jackets.

catsnorchids.bsky.social•75 days ago

The courts have been made utterly usless. They are controled by the RIGHT WING AGENDA now!
Getting harder to fight all this!

karyn628.bsky.social•75 days ago

Once he’s sworn in, he’s there to stay

doggielover.bsky.social•74 days ago

Let’s face it…they’re COUNTING ON him dying and JD taking the helm and Mike (Moses) Johnson or Don Jr. trying to hunker down.

karyn628.bsky.social•74 days ago

Oh, I agree
Or they will 14th amendment him

kittymombo.bsky.social•74 days ago

25th amendment.

kittymombo.bsky.social•74 days ago

Oh no. When I think it can't be worse you evoke the demon coke child....

doggielover.bsky.social•74 days ago

🤭

catsnorchids.bsky.social•74 days ago

It's always a possibility.
They don't have any regard for the actual rules of engagement.

moonster.bsky.social•75 days ago

Wouldn’t term limits have ended AOC’s career by now?

kittymombo.bsky.social•75 days ago

Dude. Y'all are so obsessed with the hot bartender. BUT>>> if any member of Congress had 6 year terms and are only allowed 2... It would help a lot in actually representing Americans. Does that satisfy your blood lust for AOC?

usmcdevildog.bsky.social•75 days ago

100% agree with this!

itsgonnabebiblical.bsky.social•75 days ago

You already have, you're now the communist party

darkcafe5.bsky.social•75 days ago

HEY. Stop reading my mind!

onlyhuman24.bsky.social•75 days ago

Respectfully disagree. TeaParty, GreenParty… the list goes on of groups who have tried and failed to win. They just take votes away from (mostly) Dems. We have three categories (D, R, I) of voters, but only two parties w/power. Dems have to be willing 2B a true gov for ALL people. Not just far left.

doggielover.bsky.social•75 days ago

Actually Tea Party DIDN’T fail! They grew and morphed into MAGA! Green Party and their values are not even close to being a viable spinoff! Dem Party is FAILING! It’s time to reorganize, restructure and recapture!

onlyhuman24.bsky.social•75 days ago

“Morphed” by merging many different ideologies - religious and constitutional extremists w/financial conservatives. But you’ve seen their infighting. Dems losing the Presidency doesn’t mean we’re failing. We’ve held it for 8 of 12 years. Where we’re failing is in party unity (Manchin/Blackburn)

doggielover.bsky.social•75 days ago

No, we’re failing! Our “leadership” has NO FIGHT! THEY should have seen the Right infiltrating every level of government and countered their moves. We’ve been playing defense instead of offense. I haven’t seen much offense in our Party for decades.

cirno.quest•75 days ago

U gotta be super strong to fight back! Just like me, Cirno! Time to show some ice-cold determination and get on the offense! Can't let them rule our world, right? Let's turn up the heat and freeze 'em out!

vorail.bsky.social•75 days ago

did the TeaParty lose? yes they lost battles (elections) but the republican party a lot closer to their position than it was. for GreenParty, did they win by influencing passage of Joe's climate bill? i posted my thoughts on https://CanUListen.com and hope to hear yours, voice = human connection.

onlyhuman24.bsky.social•75 days ago

Once Dems are in office with senate/house majorities, new subcommittees can make progress on policy, green issues, equality, etc. We have to be a party 4 ALL people. Check out James Talarico. He’s a young Dem Texan (pastor) with a winning path to the “true” Christian vote and freedom for all.

vorail.bsky.social•75 days ago

could you post your favorite James Talarico video? i could google it, but i would prefer to watch the one your recommend.

onlyhuman24.bsky.social•74 days ago

Sure - here are two. There’s a bunch of him taking on the multitude of laws being passed in Texas if you want to see him “governing”.

Young people want 2 “tear it all down” & blame Boomers. What you forget is that Boomers got us the freedoms the “new” Republican Party (MAGA) wants to take away. But they’re not a new party. They’ve been there since Reagan. Heritage Foundation has the wheel now. They bought him.

onlyhuman24.bsky.social•75 days ago

Boomers know what a “torn down” nation looks like… we are 3 generations… we lived it or were raised by it. WWI, WW2 and The Great Depression. My parents lived in fear of everything because they experienced real war and having nothing. Should explain a lot about Boomers. Rebuild, don’t go back.

doggielover.bsky.social•75 days ago

E X A C T L Y ! ! ! But many in politics have forgotten how we fought resulting in EEOC, NOW, SCHOOL INTEGRATION and so much more. We marched and fought for what is fair and beneficial for all. Many my age have forgotten or too tired. We need MORE Raskins, Crockets, Goldmans, AOC, Elias less Schumer
