I don't know who needs to hear this but, (assuming 2026 and 2028 elections aren't sham elections rigged by MAGA) the way to align the Democratic party more closely with your own personal interests is to vote for it.

Every single time.
Every single election.
Every single candidate.

Voting is a 2-way street. You vote for the party that more closely aligns with your interests, and in return, the party aligns its interests more closely with the people who voted for it.

@Lana I'm not convinced I still believe this. Is it perhaps more closely aligned with the people who paid for it?

@mattb I'm convinced cynical self-fulfilling prophecies like this one are going to be the death of American Democracy. Whether it is true or untrue, spreading this is as good as disinformation.

If this is untrue, repeating it will make it true anyway.

If this is true, voting as if it isn't is the only way to make it untrue.
