Progressives have an opportunity to capitalize on the anger towards the failure of the dems. Hope they run effective campaigns.

Everyone (rightfully) shitting on the Democratic Party: this is where you put your money where your mouth is. This is how you get rid of the people you're complaining about.

30/50 states are partisan primary states. That means you need to be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. This was a contributing factor in Bernie’s 2016 loss.

That’s what needs to happen. I’m mad as hell, I’m making my calls to my reps every day, and as soon as I finish moving into my new place I’m going to start going to my town meetings. I’m going to find out what positions I can run for and I’m going to try to be the elected official I wish I had now.

We could be the greatest country in the world if enough people actually gave a shit to do something to earn that title instead of just claiming it. Complaining and rallying and signing petitions hasn’t done shit, if you still believe that we can be the country we were told we were someday it’s time to put up or shut up.

Matt Bennett, a vice president of the centrist Democratic group Third Way, discussed the candidate recruitment strategy of centrist Democrats and, as it stands, he said they’re focused on swing districts currently held by Republicans.

Is anyone doing anything re potential future compromised elections? I do not have faith in the results when ballots randomly get rejected, when there are bomb threats in certain areas, when a billionaire supports candidates etc etc.

Kat running is great. If anyone is curious, you should definitely check out the WiseCrack YouTube live streams she was on. She also does video essays and her own streams. I don't agree with her on everything, but she is very committed and would be an excellent improvement to Congress.
