You might ask me, “ok, so what do Democrats do now to make sure high turnout voters don’t become low turnout voters?” I didn’t decide not to go to bat for Dems next time on a lark. It took years of compounded messaging and blame for me to get here. It’s not an easy, overnight fix.

So if they want to dig themselves out of this hole, heres a bulleted list: 1) start fighting, goddamit, are you controlled opposition? Because a lot of your smartest voters legitimately think you are. You have a Senate leader too busy funding Israel to give a shit about defunding ICE…wtf.

2) purge the republicans from your party. Yes, it takes courage to whip party members, but allowing rotating villains to derail every potential shot at a policy victory has boosted the idea that D is a controlled opposition party. What the fuck are you doing with guys like Tom Suozzi, seriously?

3) Fire your consultants. I know they hold your hair back while you’re vomiting into the toilet on Nov. 5th but they are lying about the solutions for the fundamental problems the party has. They have to go.

4) Go hard on popular policies. Abortion access is a 70/30 policy. Take a position and be ready to die fighting for it. Dems have allowed an erosion on a firm stance on popular issues like this, and it makes them look like limp dick cowards. Abolishing DHS is becoming one of those issues now too.

5) embrace leftist populism. Stop treating outstanding young candidates like Zorhan like they’re poop sticks. Corpo Dem politics is dead and populist candidates are your future. Act accordingly.
