and the lesson of Beto O'Rourke and Stacey Abrams is not to just pack it in after a loss. there are so so so many races this time around where a Republican won by a tiny margin because the Dem didn't get enough DNC support, but they are absolutely winnable next time or the time after that

I hope Dem leadership has learned not to abandon a single district in this country. Run someone in every race. Support those running. You never know when you can flip something blue, or even from a deep red to a light pink. Try everything all of the time.

Attention all the states that just flipped their governors / legislatures blue - this is the way:

Reminder: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social doesn’t support abolishing ice or Medicare for all (anymore). He also has been backed by AIPAC, takes private meetings with Kushner This is really @TheDemocrats best option for speaker?

Dems can nuke the electoral college. W/ their 5 new state trifectas, Dems could activate the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Under the compact, states would give their electoral votes to whoever wins the nationwide popular vote. 4/5 presidents who won while losing pop vote were republicans

I’m with @nihbear.bsky.social! Holding Trump & his cronies accountable isn’t about retaliation. It’s about: Protecting our future by making clear we will not tolerate lawless cruelty. Taking back the wealth they stole so we can rebuild & they can’t use that wealth to get back into power.

Justice isn’t getting even you fucking bag of hair. We need you to send people to jail because of the crimes they committed against the body politic. We handed you the keys to steamroller that flattens fascists and we expect you to DRIVE IT.

Remember. Representatives are largely useless unless you constantly annoy and brow beat them into actually doing something. It is always morally correct to pester politicians.
