It’s not natural…

It was a red state when Martin started running DFL

He turned it purple then blue because he stopped standing in front of progressives and focused on fair primaries so the candidates most popular with dem voters made it to the general…

And what happened Tuesday nationally, was what happened in Minnesota.

It’s not a fluke, it’s not anything “natural” about Minnesota, it’s the simple fact that progressive policy is what voters want.

And the voting members of the DNC realizing that, is why they picked Martin for DNC vhair. To do nationally what he did in Minnesota: stand back and let voters pick their candidates.

Why would Dems vote for something that helps everyone?

Because people picked progressives in primaries…

The person who wrote it…

Spoiler: No.

It’s absolutely wild how you keep throwing that shit out there with absolutely no logic and counter to everything that’s happens since neoliberals got the boot from running the DNC.

It’s like if AOC gets elected in 2028, and you tried to convince people that since she’s a president now, she’ll be the same as trump. Because he was also president.

Completely nonsensical and absent of logic, but you just keep repeating it over and over…

And the person who ran Minnesota’s DFL for a decade has been the DNC chair for like 21 months…

A big reason why this wave was not only huge, but full of progressives…

If you have a Dem House rep, contact them and say no to Jefferies

If you have a Dem senator, contact them and say no to Schumer

We can’t waste time on neoliberals

America has a habit of generating hope … and then crushingly disappointing everyone

You’re confusing neoliberals as an only other option to maga…

Anyone with a congressional Dem representative needs to contact their office and tell them they need to support a progressive for leadership.

We can’t afford the bullshit “looking into” that happened under Biden. We need a Speaker and Senate leader willing to put progressive legislation up for votes.

Schumer/Jefferies won’t do that

Logically it makes sense too; Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

If people basic needs aren’t met, it’s hard to care about anything (or anyone) else.

Meet everyone’s basic needs, and we stop the infighting. That’s the real reason the oligarchs want to gut social safety nets. If we’re not afraid for ourselves, we’ll start caring about others.

If we all start caring about others and can plan past the next pay check, suddenly everyone realizes billionaires are the problem.

Maybe they shouldn’t have launched attacks on the morning of the election…

The two named Republicans were both county level admin spots, and one unnamed person…

Lots of people who won’t ever vote D really want to divide the party tho.

The people who decide congressional leadership, are the sitting members of Congress.

2 years ago when the vote was held Jamie Harrison was still DNC chair, and not voting how he wanted would have gotten your state party cut off from “the victory fund”.

That fund is gone now, has been for a while.

The current DNC chair named in February 25 dumped all that money back to the states it was stolen from.

It’s not just that we have to trust him not to use “the stick”, he fucking burnt the stick to ash already.

Representatives can vote for the leadership they want, but we need to reach out to them and tell them what we want them to do.

Billionaire owned media is already calling him “speaker in waiting” and other shit.

Everyone needs to reach to any elected Dem rep they have and let them know we can’t waste time on bullshit.

Subtitle:

Tuesday’s election results demolished the conventional wisdom that Democrats need to run cautious, corporate-friendly centrists to win in purple and red states.

The voting members of the DNC recognized that after the 2024 election…

That’s why they pivoted to Martin as chair, and why trying to win every race and supporting everyone that made it thru fair primaries paid off.

Like, Martin literally spent a decade running Minnesota, where over and over he saw the best way to turn a purple/red state blue, was progressive candidates.

It’s really getting old that people don’t realize the party is essentially the chair, and the only thing this chair wants more than charismatic progressives, is fair primaries.

I legitimately don’t know how you read my comment and missed that it implied everything you “added” already…

If you have a Dem House rep, start calling tomorrow telling them we can’t afford to waste time on Jefferies as speaker.

We won’t get someone like AOC (I’d love it if we did) but bare minimum it needs to be someone on the same general page as Dem voters. And Jefferies doesn’t.

I grew up in the wild west days, and we were explicitly told never to just trust one search engine and to try a couple and pay attention to differences…

Like, Google is seriously shooting themselves in the foot here, and we need to understand the reason they’re willing to do this, is getting kids hooked on AI means they’re always going to need AI.

It legitimately changes how brains work, and shoving it down k-12’s throat in school is doing a lot of damage

It’s not as cut and dry.

There are schools for the deaf and/or blind.

The real solution is separating church from education entirely.

Everyone gets public school, if you want to send them to an after hours system like CDC (what Catholics have) or something else in addition to normal school, then that shouldn’t be publicly funded in any way.

We had a Catholic k-8 feed into our highschool, and it’s not like the kids were dumb, but they had huge gaps in their knowledge. It’s literal religious indoctrination, and even if the kid grows up to leave that religious group, the values, rules and notes are still being forced into impressionable minds.

It’s always projection with the right, their worried that some day we’ll stop letting them get away with indoctrinating their own kids, and if that happens their religious extremism dies out in a generation or two.

Once that happens it’s I almost impossible to build back up, they need adults who grew up in that system to want to continue it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed for another wave of strikes on Iran after the U.S. elections, according to two regional officials and a third person familiar with the matter.

A return to full-scale war with Iran could help Netanyahu form an emergency government after he and his far-right allies lost their parliamentary majority in last week’s elections. Trump has alternated between threatening major strikes and pushing for a deal with Iran.

I thought they might do it right before to cancel, or right after so it didn’t hurt in midterms…

But doing it on election day is the worst possible time.

Too big to fail means too big to exist…

We have an entire branch of law devoted to how we fix this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_antitrust_law

30 years of switching between Republicans and neoliberals just stripped it to the bone, we can do build it up again tho.

Take Elmo’s chainsaw and take it to all the major corpos so there’s actual competition and no one CEO has this much power ever again.

We can just do what Teddy did over a century ago, it’s not a hypothetical we’ve fixed this problem before and we can fix it again.
