They don’t do the job they were voted in to do. They work for the same oligarchy as the Republicans. They are also inside trading criminals. I think the majority of potential voters ARE progressive (whether they realize it or not) and that’s why so many sit out the elections… Because there’s no one to vote for who will actually do the job they want them to do.

I’d be okay with him going after Pelosi and the rest of the Dem shills… Maybe they’ll do the dirty work and we can start replacing them with progressives who will actually fight for the peasants

There were 3 choices… Nazis, Nazi collaborators, no non-nazis to vote for so not gonna vote

Absolutely disingenuous to report this as “house Dems”, as though the liberal (i.e. conservative) Dems are in on it. They are not. These are progressive Dems who propose this basically every year, and who are actually fighting for us, not corporations and profits. Liberal Dems then work with their Republican friends to shut it down. This is why liberal Dems are as much the enemy as the Republicans.

Yeah… It would take some serious organizing… Probably need a serious org to take it on

I’d start by looking up your local Dems party. Most towns and counties have their own Dem party who’s job it is to get Dems elected locally. They themselves are elected by (registered) Dems in that town or county. They’ll know who runs your state party (also elected by Dems in your state), and who from your state gets to vote for DNC (national) leadership. They’ll also probably know how many people show up for these elections (it’s usually like 10 people!) Then it’s just a matter of organizing enough progressives to take over these local party positions and then take over the DNC… but, the good news is, progressives just took over the party leadership! At least the new Chair is relatively progressive, and was supported by Our Revolution.

On the one hand, it’s super annoying that a small group of people makes all the decisions, but on the other hand, they are the people who show up month after month. You’ll probably need to show up too, get to know who is progressive and who’s a shill. Then make moves to replace the shills with progressives.

In Nashua, NH (the second biggest “city” in NH) we were able to completely replace the city Dems leadership with only 50 progressives showing up to vote

What we really need is a national org like Our Revolution or Move On or whoever, to make a concerted effort to plan out the takeover of every town/county/state Dems in every state. Each state should have a paid director plus staff who can map out all the leadership of all the smaller Dems parties in that state, rally progressive voters, and take the state party for progressives, town by town and then the state party all together.

The DNC Chair, vice chair, treasurer, etc

Our Revolution tries too

The DNC leadership are elected by people who are elected by us. Almost no one votes in those elections… Probably no one even knows they exist. But a well timed strategy of getting like 50 progressives to show up to each election and vote for progressive leadership is all it would take to replace every liberal in the party leadership with progressives… No reason to leave 2 conservative parties intact

They just need to put the Trump party last (or whatever the shittiest party is at the time)… They can put anyone they want 2nd
