I'd like to repost this a thousand times. "Blow them out of the water."

DP: please pay attention to the "blow them out of the water" part. We are in serious $hit and need inspired commitment. Seriously.

A redistricting arms race so ridiculous that both sides have to agree to disarm.

I'm trying to get Lawler out. It's because of redistricting that he won in NY IMHO.

What, No thank you for my time?!? Do you know how hard it is to stop scrolling!?! Pfft! Such an ingrate!

Blow. Them. Out.

Yup. He’s hiding because we support Hogg and he has no idea how to pull the party out of the ditch. Maybe listen to the voters.

Because unless theyre put in place, *and enforced* in Republican controlled states, that only loses us seats. Republicans only understand force and power, so a Mutually Assured Destruction strategy may work where "ask them to pretty please follow the rules" has completely failed.

Tactics designed just to get power are less likely to be used to make things better, if only because it would entrench more power hungry actors. This is why you need independent bodies designed to counteract these kinds of power grabs.

In the United States, the authority to redraw voting maps, also known as redistricting, generally lies with the state legislatures. However, the specific process can vary significantly from state to state.

Trump got endorsed by doing all the sleazy things that the scum of society wanted to see done. The vast majority want cleaner streets, safer schools, and a chance for them & their kids to have a better life. Gut the free gun laws, minimum standards for elections, easier options for bail.

Exactly! 1. Dems must meet them where they are. 2. Show them whatever they do Dems can do it bigger and better by kicking their asses and bringing democracy back.

Can we add rejecting AIPAC money to the list of demands?

We need to stop showing up to a gunfight with a wine key!!

Maybe people might just start donating more money if they see some fight.

Thanks. We absolutely must RATIO the GOP at least 2 to 1 on the House Seats. Fuck the high road. We play where they play. And by their rules.

MD tried and ended up losing a Dem Congressional District to a Rep because the court ruled their redistricting plan was unconstitutional.

For real!

Totally agree with you. Time is long gone when Dems can be "normal" about anything to do with this corrupt and horrible government. We are all living a dystopian nigtmare and we want to wake up. Dems - go kick a--, and loudly endorse Mamdani, the future of the Democratic party.

Dems need to stop giving the game away. Go big.

They are constitutionally incapable. Replacement them all.

exactly.

Right as usual, Allison.

Gavin needs to get serious and get this done. It will take time that we don’t really have to push this thru before midterms! LFG!!!!!

Feel free to return my district back to it was before they restricted last time to give us tom kean jr. He’s a useless a-hole.

Maybe they dont want to win because they're making too much money off of the current corruption?

Yep

We can't assume these people voted for Trump. A third of eligible voters (90 million) did not vote in the election. That many have given up on democracy is not an endorsement of autocracy, it's learned helplessness from decades of experience.

I’d like less focus on electoral politics and more focus on getting shit done. Like maybe effectively doing anything to block Project 2025? Mid-terms are too far away.

YES! seat for seat is amateur hour! Blow them out of the water!

I am so down with this!!!

We need to restructure elections to fit the 21st century. Use hand counted paper ballots that can't be hacked by Elon/Russia during voting or counting. One person one vote. Term limits, age limits. Neutral grid for districts. Abolish Citizen United. Vet the candidates, no felons for any office.

We need to find the courage to level the playing field

No kidding! Dems need to go all in with this.

Seconded!

On it

Yes, give MAGA and the GOP something to talk about, be worried about. Make them realize why the rules were stablished to begin with, and regret attempting to change them.

The Dems have shown themselves to be utterly useless and unable to go beyond toe-to-toe with Maga. I can tell none of these folks have ever been in a real fight before. They need to get nasty, support Mamdani and the new blood over useless, aging career politicians.

Exactly beat them at their own game. The best defense is a wickedly effective offense

I believe Newsom and Pritzker are working on that.

Yes please!!

Look at my feed not now right now

Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the guest speaker at the State Dem Chairman’s conference next month. If I get the opportunity to meet and greet, this is exactly what I’m telling him. My big blue state Gov will be there also and I’ll be advocating for redrawing our maps!

Yes!!!

THIS THIS THIS. So incredibly sick of all the weak feckless Democrats. I’ve stopped donating to all of them. I won’t give a single penny til we sort this out. I’m far from rich but I usually donate about $2k a year to various Dem candidates. Multiply me x about 10 million people - get it?

Been PLEADING for this. It’s a gun fight not a game of chess.

Let’s Fucking Go ✊

If Cali steps up to the plate (Do it, CA...do it!) OR & WA do this & NY, MN, PA, WI, IL join all of us, we could well blow them out of the water.

Dems need to get as ruthless as the Republicans have been for years!!! Redraw the maps, stack the courts as often as you can. Encourage candidates to just lie and tell people what they want to hear at any confirmation hearing. Playing by the rules has not worked!!!!

Do you really think the tyrant that brought us 1/6, that still doesn’t admit he lost in 2020, the guy that stacked the courts that intimidated every politician, the guy that raped kids, the guy that has created a Gestapo and concentration camps? Yeah,that guy is going to let you have a fair election

Amen

So, how would one overcome that VOTER APPROVED redistricting method? Would courts strike it down? What would voters do about it? Could it not backfire on Dems? On Newsom? Betrayal of what WE, the voters, demanded over a decade ago?

Stop bringing a knife to a nuke fight and do what they are doing against them! They redistrict we do they sued cbs for edits sue fox for the epstein edit.

I have been a DEMOCRAT SINCE CARTER IF THE DEMOCRATS DO NOTHING I WILL REGISTER INDEPENDENT

Absolutely. Don't use the threat of doing it as a bargaining chip. Do it and then bargain!

You are not alone in that thought!

Good for u! How abt u just sit at home & stew in your disappointment & anger--that wld be a super idea! Better yet, don't even vote in the midterms-that'll show those damn Dems 4 failing to work miracles when they have no levers of power. I'd almost bet, listening to u, that u didn't vote in 2024.

You're not the only one. Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother.

Allison, you should have Ken Martin's job (head of DNC) :-)

"Somebody should do something!" -somebody

YES

That is a level of courage most democrat leaders sorely lack.

We all know Abbott is going to get those seats. That's not even a question. Now, every blue state should do the same.

Yes. The problem has been that the Dems want to be the adult in the room protecting past norms while the GOP decided to go all in to seize power for decades by breaking the rules & norms. You know, knife to a gun fight.

⬆️ THIS! ⬆️ @democrats.org

They need a couple younger runners. Some of these representatives are in their nineties.

Don’t know she has been silent. She and Adam shifty betrayed Biden. I am sure there’s blow back to them.

DEMs;want your polling out of the shitter: Blame the Monied Media & coverage: they control the narrative & the ignorant masses, yearning to be lead; They trashed Biden & his best economy since the 1960s, they had 60% of People believing there was a recession.. Be socialists bsky.app/profile/ogre...

Great idea, but we need to act fast.

Yes!! Please....DO SOMETHING! My preference of course, is to revamp the system. One person, one vote. Period. Hard stop. No fucking electoral college, no fucking gerrymandering. Each state totals 'em up, and most votes win. I don't care why this current system ever got started. Just needs to stop. 😡

First part, yes. Second part, caution. You can’t win an election in the US without moderates. Congratulate Mamdani, yes. Endorse, no. Not as a group.

↑↑↑↑This↑↑↑↑

Yeah play BIG!!!

You heard her. @governor.ca.gov @govpritzker.illinois.gov Get your acts together and get it rolling.

Absolutely! Grow up and fight

Everything you said is perfect however the New York electorate is no representation whatsoever of the national electorate. The future mayor of New York would get blown out of the water by Donald Trump's cousin in a national election

20 would be better 🐶

Yep. Do it now. Let’s be proactive for a change. We know they are going to do it anyway.

Im not giving the DNC one cent until they endorse Mamdani.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

one way or the other about Mamdani, though many could learn from his technique of never getting defensive and always attacking.

I'm just super paranoid that like... 9 times out of 10 when people go "Democrats need to do this One Special Trick and if they don't they're cowards and I'm not voting for them", turns out that oops One Special Trick isn't actually viable, realistic, possible, etc. and everyone's mad for nothing.

Thank you for that PSA!

Fuck, yeah! It's like I'm watching Dem leadership intentionally self-sabotage.

Hell yeah! We have to stop going by the rules when they don't! We have to get down in the gutter where they are at! We won't win if we don't! I'm tired of playing nice! Look where it's got us!

Agreed. Get like 20 more Dem seats in NY, 30 more in CA. Stuff like that will stop this shit.

He also said, “But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in…whether it’s the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support ...” That's a communist goal, not a DS goal. Dems do not believe in seizing industry for the state.

Some muthaf****ers still bringing knives to a gunfight 🤷‍♂️

This. Now.

💯 fight fire with fire

Exceptions advice. Wake up Schumer.

I agree 100%. Dems need to quit playing by the rules because the MAGAs stopped a long time ago.

I agree. It's time to play hardball democrats.

Sunset THEM. There is no room in the party for that thinking, that's why the party is polling at 15% favorability.
