It seems Democrats are finally coming to terms with the fact that they need to appeal to people if they want to win their votes.

They did over 6 months ago when they stopped electing neoliberals for DNC chair, and elected the head of Minnesota’s Working Families Party to DNC chair…

Because they are still working against Mamdani and other progressives in full force.

A new DNC chair who is excited about Mamdani, and wants to take his strategy because that’s what Dem voters want:

Well, first, it was a brilliant campaign. And there’s a lot of lessons.

One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can’t just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There’s no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we’re for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.

And that’s really critical. And I think that’s one of the lessons from Mamdani’s campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.

I think that’s one of the lessons. The other lessons, of course, is the tactics he used to get his message out, both a very aggressive in-person campaigning, meeting voters where they’re at, and then also in those digital spaces, using very creative messaging to cut through the noise and to get to voters in an inexpensive but authentic way.

There’s a lot to learn from that campaign, and I’m excited to learn more.

Why would they call for a recount?

Reason 1: Trumps 2016 election interference Reason 2: Jan 6th Reason 3 - 37: Trumps 34 felonies for election interference

There has never been better reason to call for a recount during a US election. Ever. Any thought otherwise is irrational and dangerous to our democracy.

Especially considering Reagan won 16/18 swing states at the height of his popularity. And Trump just won a statistically impossible 18/18 swing states despite Covid ravaging his voter base?

I don’t give a single personal fuck about how Kamala was polling for the election.

I do however, give a massive fuck about her spinelessly ignoring her duty to challenge the outcome of this election. Without that challenge, we now have permantaly compromised presidential elections, and every branch of the government stacked with idiot sycophants unwilling to protect democratic law over Trumpian will.

The very security and trust of our elections are now permanantly shattered because Democrats wanted to protect decorum rather than fucking Democracy.
