I personally don't think the guy who not only lost by 10% after raising >$50M, but also went on to lose Dems the House, Senate, and the presidency should be lecturing anyone about how one should go about winning elections.
If your movement is so strong, why does it keep needing the Democratic Party’s ballot line, infrastructure, volunteers, donors, and voter file to win?
Apparently your apparatus isn’t strong enough to do it on its own.
Fight to make the Democratic Party better. Push it. Challenge it. But don’t use the Democratic Party as an Uber to get to office and then complain about the ride after you arrive.
If you’re on the team, be on the team.
FOR THE RECORD
While voting nearly exclusively for centrist dems we got:
- Roe overturned
- VRA gutted
- Increased attacks on LGBTQ
- Citizens murdered by ICE
- DEI and affirmative action ended
- Witnessed genocide
Centrists are not it, boss.
We're fucking shaking things up.
Mallory McMorrow going from Warren Democrat to Gillibrand Democrat in the span of several months is why you should just vote for the most left-leaning person in any Democratic primary by default
Is it Hamas' fault for refusing to surrender, or did Biden fail by standing with Netanyahu? Matt Yglesias and Jerusalem Demsas don't see the war in Gaza the same way. Full debate out now: ranking the worst parts of the Biden presidency.

@oh1om1ke Lol. I thought the video was cringe, but I do think there's a world of difference between "silly vid you make with your staff for socials" and "and entire marching band procession with giant cutouts of your face at the state convention"
By more than two to one, more Americans oppose than favor having a new data center built in their area.
Many aren’t sure.
While people tend not to favor data centers no matter how much they feel they know, the less they feel they know, the less likely they are to favor one.

these guys calling themselves a counterweight is so funny. they mobilize no voters, run no campaigns, put up zero advertisements. fakest politics of all time. at least bill clinton knew how to win an election. all you do is bitch on twitter.
Avila Chevalier genuinely crosses the line from "policy positions I disagree with" to "has opinions that make her a genuinely repugnant human being" and she's about to become a Congresswoman. fucking insane
The annoying thing about all the DSA "gEnTrIfIcAtIoN" discourse is these people act like these guys moved to NYC a couple months ago in order to run. Valdez has lived there since 2015, DAC since 2012. At what point are they just New Yorkers?
NY Attorney General Letitia James criticized NYC Mayor Mamdani and some of his endorsed candidates in New York City’s Democratic primaries, telling CNN that some of those candidates don’t understand the communities they want to represent and are disconnected from the history and struggles of many NYC districts.
She also said that she and other Democratic leaders are “disappointed” in Mamdani, adding, “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done.”
