Yep. Don't give up the party apparatus, organization, etc to the Vichy Dems.

Kick THEM out.

They're the ones who suck, not us.
Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Replace them with WHO? There are literally no other people qualified to do it. Fuck off. God! He is the shittiest “business” negotiator.
What a great long-term recruiting pitch: come do this high-stress job, you may have to work for free at some point — and if you try to feed your family with a side gig, you’ll be punished. 🤡

Democrats caved again. Right after the electorate handed them massive wins across the country.

2026 is the year for progressives. Centrist politicians share the same billionaire donor base as MAGA.

Therefore, Centrists will always listen to billionaires over voters. Vote them out. No more excuses.

Came to the emergency room because I thought I was having a heart attack or something close to it, and now I’m just sitting here thinking I was acting entirely too dramatic.

Those 8 Dem collaborators destroyed more than a chance for the people of America to finally take a stand.
That killed the Election Day
Best Vibes in forever!
All those voters who came out: will they show up next year for the party that surrendered when they were finally taking a stand?

If only the US had Brazil's Supreme Court. If we did, like Bolsonaro, who also attempted a coup, Trump would be in prison.

Trump has granted pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts in attempting to overthrow American democracy.

This is the thing that drives me insane. Things aren't normal; this isn't politics as usual. And when you accurately describe everything this administration is doing, it's so lawless, radical, and authoritarian that *you* sound like a partisan extremist.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Centrist Dems CAVE For a MAGA "Inshallah" That Will Never Happen

Who needs corrupt, cruel MAGA politicians when we have weak, centrist Democrats willing to cave for lobbyists and throw their own party and base under the bus?

These 8 useless Democratic Senators are all wealthy and have feathered themselves a lovely retirement nest.

They don't need to be in these positions anymore.

They can amble away into the privileged nothingness that defines their spinelessness and lack of courage.

Demand more and better, folks.
