@Commieslxt@CommunityNotes 'Following our snark discord marching orders isn't working because it's held to the same factual standards that obliviate Maga cult talking points! Grok why is the Biden crime family actually more corrupt than trump?!?!'

Opinion: Democrats and the legacy media are right to call out Nick Fuentes. He deserves it. But that’s no excuse to ignore a very real extremist on the left. https://t.co/ZwF3sPVORt
We are not late to the conversation. We were waiting until we could confirm that our volunteers who attended the College Democrats Summit @CollegeDems were safe.
Digital Ground Game has come a long way in a short time, and we’re still learning how to navigate political spaces. From day one, our mission has been to meet young people where they are, encourage civic participation, and stand unapologetically for liberal democracy. We love this country not because it’s perfect, but because it’s worth improving. Our organization includes people of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, economic backgrounds, cultures, and political perspectives. What unites us is a shared commitment to democracy and to one another.
Yesterday, our concerns about the normalization of authoritarianism became very real. Young volunteers from Digital Ground Game attended what they expected to be an opportunity to engage with fellow Democrats. Instead, some were met with harassment, hostility, and an environment that no young person should have to navigate simply for participating in politics.
Many of our organizers first became politically engaged through online creators before turning that energy into real-world organizing. We never imagined we’d have to prepare young volunteers for intimidation at political events meant to welcome them.
Seeing one of the largest liberal voices @TheOmniLiberal denied entry, our volunteers being asked to leave, and others deciding to leave on their own to avoid further harassment was deeply disappointing. The smears that followed only made things worse. This level of polarization is not coming from Digital Ground Game, our partners, or the communities we work alongside.
People who glorify political violence or openly admire authoritarian movements should not be shaping spaces meant to encourage democratic participation. Wearing the imagery of dictators responsible for mass suffering is not harmless symbolism. College Democratic organizations should be places where young people can freely exchange ideas, not where intimidation and ideological bullying become normalized.
Freedom of speech and open debate are essential democratic values. But young people should never feel threatened, harassed, or pressured out of participating in political life.
We know other organizations are also checking in with their volunteers after these events, helping them process harassment both online and in person. That alone should concern everyone. If we want the next generation to participate in democracy, we have a responsibility to make political spaces safe, welcoming, and respectful.
Despite everything, we remain hopeful. The response from many journalists, public figures, community leaders, and everyday Americans has reminded us that the fight for democracy is far from over.
We encourage anyone who believes these events fell short of the values Democrats stand for to seek accountability and work toward better standards going forward.
And to every young volunteer who showed up in good faith: thank you. We’re sorry that participating in democracy came with harassment instead of encouragement. We hope you’ll keep showing up anyway. Our democracy needs you more than ever.

@TheDemocrats wow at a time when we need to come together the most to fight against our common enemy, MAGA and the GOP, I am disappointed that you would have your collegiate branch be so divisive to those who are some of your strongest supporters.
Can’t wait for my current frivolous political lawsuit to be over so I can start firing C&D at this guy and @Twitch for constantly lying about and smearing me.
They just misuse language.
By harass he means 'ask questions'
By dox he means 'videotape someone knowingly being recorded saying who he was' (he said he was the EVP of the org)
By slander he means tell the God's honest truth
Hey @hasanthehun remember when you doxed the streamers who worked with Progressive Victory by showing their names and locations on stream to tens and thousands of your viewers?
Watching him scurry away because he was deathly afraid of someone asking him a question about anything he’s ever said is hilarious lmao.
Has he said yet who’s writing speeches for him?
Actually, you're doing your best to make the Democratic brand toxic to independents. Do you think the generic is tightening because leftists are moving to the GOP or independents/moderates are moving away from Dems?
There's a right answer here.
And I am not going to take lectures on fighting Trump from a guy who shits on Dems every day - even at the College Dems.
