Just to be clear, it isn't up to DNC committes or legislators to defeat MAGA. That's our job. We have to go out and convince people to vote for the Democrats. Independents sometimes, too. We need to remove Maga from congress by defeating them in elections, us the citizens have to do that shit.

Stop blaming the solution for the problem we're making, WE need to DO THIS. This is OUR JOB.

What?!

The entire point of the democratic party is to get it's members elected.

And theyre a private party with no obligations to anyone else.

It's the parties job to convince voters to vote. It's not the voters job to always pick the lesser of two evils, especially when both parties use every opportunity to become more "evil" by siding with the wealthy more than regular citizens.

WE need to DO THIS. This is OUR JOB.

We're not the ones who just wasted $1,500,000,000 and paid ourselves millions.

If it's our job why the fuck are we paying people fighting against us to do it poorly?

I'm not paying you and you're not paying me, but we can still volunteer, organize events, speak to our peers to get them to vote for whats right, for policy that helps them.

The party's job is to vote on legislation. Its our job to get them there.

God forbid our public servants step away from the telethon hotline for a few minutes to actually do any fucking serving to begin with or anything...

But honestly, we're gonna table that for a minute cuz I feel like whatever the fuck you got goin on here might be more urgent

Do you smell toast? You should absolutely google a list of stroke symptoms or something and compare notes real quick bro

Let me put it this way:

The people who are good at ceorcion and convincing others are probably the ones we don't want in the position.

All I smell is your mom residue after I cleaned out her ass.

But what matters most is the DNC chair election on 2/2/25.

And I don't know about you, but I can't vote in that, so I'm just waiting to see what happens

I'm optimistic though

Edit:

Sorry replied to fast:

The party’s job is to vote on legislation. Its our job to get them there.

I think the confusion is I'm talking about the actual party, the DNC.

And you seem to be talking about elected politicians who belong to the party.

Two completely different things.

Candidates for office get picked in Primaries. If you get rejected by the DNC to even be on a ticket then congrats you failed one of the lowest imaginable bars.
