let's get 50 #AOC s
#Primaries
@mmalc @bebadefabo @dragonsidedd
there's two tracks here:
strategy
excitement
cold dreary strategy means you always vote #democrat
but unfortunately, even given the stakes, too many motherfuckers out there demand excitement, and are fine not voting and letting the #usa slide into #project2025 if they don't get what they want
so we give them what they want
that means more bernies and AOCs
"we" being us showing up in the fucking #primaries
@bebadefabo @mmalc @dragonsidedd
so we don't sideline them
by "we" i don't mean this notion of an omnipotent #democrat centrist grip on the party. that doesn't exist. they're weak
by "we" i mean us who are going to mob #primaries2026
right?
are you listening out there?
#bernie and #aoc own the future of the #democratic party
whoever opposes this only delays the inevitable
*but*
if you don't fucking show up in the #primaries you fucking inert motherfuckers, it doesn't happen either
@grumble209 @MannyDexter @MrBirch @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe
yes!
what do you think #MAGA does?
they always turn out for the #GOP, faithfully
THEY SHOW UP IN THE #PRIMARIES
then what happens?
pollsters find out what motivated them to vote
then the pols amplify and support that concern
that's the way it works!
do you think a single fucking soul listens to inert endless whiners who don't #vote?
how the fuck did you wind up with such an impotent incoherent attitude?
@grumble209 @MannyDexter @MrBirch @todymotmot @wendinoakland @profdc9 @zakalwe
do you know who votes constantly party line?
do you know who shows up for the #primaries?
MAGA
do you what the #GOP is today?
MAGA
can the left take over the dems like that?
yes
well no
as long as the #left is whiny voices making excuses for impotent cynicism
they don't show the fuck up
useless self-defeating assholes
bad #candidates are *an effect* of not enough voting not *a cause*
the #primaries are where you kick spineless centrists to the curb
anyone complaining about how fucked up the #usa is, or how fucked the #democrats are:
if you don't vote #primaries2026, shut the fuck up
that's your chance to make the change
when are they? who are they?
it's local
figure it the fuck out
you care? prove it
i'm not going to hold your fucking hand, you're an adult
"ben stop being so mean"
nah
endless whiners need to make an effort
'#DavidHogg, a controversial {he isn't} #DNC vice chair, is pledging to upend #Democratic #primaries by funding #candidates who will challenge “ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel” #Democrats.
The move puts Hogg, the now 25-year-old who first gained national stature as an outspoken survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School {#Parkland} shooting, on a collision course with his own party and some Democratic House members.'
👏 👏 👏
GO DAVID!
No
Because you frame it as
1. Punishing centrist dems
2. Expecting them to be perfect before you vote
What you do is you ignore that toxic waste
Then you show up in the #primaries #primaries2026 and replace them
The #Democrats are an empty vessel
Fill them with your will
Don't listen to toxic #socialMedia "the Democrats suck so I won't show up"
Of course they suck!
And?
Do you see the #psyop that only helps #Trump?
If your reasoning results in inaction *you* fucked up
Fuck #Schumer
Nobody is normalizing or accepting Schumer the spineless turd
The problem is arguments to not #vote and give us #Trump
That choice matters more than your point
Meanwhile, until #midterms #midterms2026, we #primaries2026 the fuck out of these centrist milquetoast centrist corporatist shit dems
And if someone doesn't vote in the #primaries?
Then they can shut the fuck up because actions speak louder than words on their supposed ideals
Show the fuck up #America
Fight!

>> thread from Sen. #Whitehouse related to the continuing budget resolution and voting rational is worth making exception for…
I read it but could not find your comment if you posted any.
What I found is that the VAST majority responded negatively to whitewashing #Schumer's inaction, while Schumer himself shrugged reporters with "I don't know" [all the facts] and [don't worry about #primaries] "That's a long time away" ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/114173039648225393
Rearranging #DeckChairsOnTitanic 🙄
Maybe a massive Primary the Democratic Party Leadership needs to be organised.
"Primary Schumer"

“ #NewYork has closed #primaries. If you aren't registered as a member of the party, you can't vote in the party primary. Check to make sure you're registered under the #DemocraticParty, not the Working Families party, even though they mostly run the same candidates.”

More endorsements for Shayla Adams-Stafford in PG County District 5! Shayla is very much for the working class. The March 4 primary is super important because it could break up the deadlock between conservative and progressive Dems. #maryland #democracy #labor #unions #pgcounty #elections #primaries
Our endorsements in the Prince...
Let’s do this!!!! AOC chief of staff to primary Pelosi in 2026!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@adamconover Makes very strong cases for why we lost. The #Dems ignored the fact that the working people were suffering and didn't blame the people who were causing the suffering, the #billionaires , because they were disconnected and it would piss off their rich donors. So #Trump told them they were suffering and it was the immigrants who were making them suffer. Next time we have to tell that story.
#Workingfamiliesparty is the most responsible of the third parties. They support people in #primaries and run where ever they aren't going to split the vote. I actually got to vote for 2 WFP members last year for at-large city counsel, and got to vote one in in the general. I didn't see a single green or #democraticSocialist run where they could have.
I feel WFP is the best option we have to retake the nation next time, using the big tent when they need to, but then being a smaller tent when they don't have to. If the other 3rd parties could do this and make pushing for #rankedchoicevoting we wouldn't need this strategy, but somehow #Elon convinced enough idiots that 3rd parties sucked and voted against RCV In 4 states this year that could have said goodbye the the two party system for good, and Alaska may lose it too. I don't want to hear a single person who didn't vote voted against RCV to ever bitch about the 2 party system again. You had your chance and you shot yourself in the foot.
