When a dem becomes president, they name the DNC chair, and the DNC does a performative vote to confirm.
So the voting members of the DNC didn’t have an opportunity to move the party left like they just did.
If Kamala had won, she would have named a DNC chair just like the ones that had been fucking up.
So to be clear, I held my nose and voted D like always.
But if she had won the party would still be fucked. Settling for a neoliberal never fixed anything, because they knew if they let an unbiased DNC happen, progressives would take over the party.
I hope we do because I could swear I kept hearing the consensus was that we would barely have any possible seats to gain in the midterms and the best we could hope for was not having a greater R majority :(
Because since 2016 the DNC has only cared about the president and not down ballot races…
The states we gave up on weren’t impossible to win, they were just impossible to win after the DNC Victory Fund took all their donations and left them penniless.
Like, if I told you 100 of your neighbors will starve to death, that sounds depressing as fuck. If you then found out they were starving because I raised grocery prices even though unsold food was thrown away, these higher prices make me an extra 10kna year
You shouldn’t just be mad your neighbors are gonna starve…
You should be absolutely irrate at me for causing the problem and pretending there is nothing anyone can do except be sad.
I feel like that’s a pretty apt analogy for what the DNC has been doing to any state that didn’t do exactly what they said including removing their primary delegates.
Shits been a lot worse than most people realize. So it’s going to be very easy to retake a lot of ground. Just by the DNC not acting like fucking idiots for the first time in a decade. And Obama’s 8 years the DNC was basically non-existent. Because I stead of fixing the DNC, Obama just fucking ignored it.
We’re going to gain a lot of seats, just because we already did a 180 from the Victory Fund nonsense that cost us those seats to begin with:

Going from bankrupting those state parties to the biggest funding push ever will allow those red/purple districts to fight back and flip seats.
If they had done this shit a few years ago, then the Dems could have potentially held on to the senate or even flipped the house.
You mean in 2020 when Biden won?

Can you expand more on this?
Finally some good news! Now it’s just up to the voters to not disappoint us.
Well, only 22 R senate seats are up compared to 13 D seats so theres still more we can gain than lose.
