Why are you making that assumption?

republicans always seem to be able to stop democrats when they have a minority in the senate.

Then again, republicans are actually interested in stopping democrats.

There haven’t been 60 dems in the senate since 1979

There haven’t been 50 dems since 2013

You’re ignoring independents who caucus and vote with the dems. Your numbers are misleading on purpose. You’re just making excuses for a party that opposes progressives and not republicans.

Imagine being expected to do your job.

Sure is convenient that the party suddenly wants impartiality when centrists might get primaried.

They didn’t have primaries last cycle and just told us who we were expected to vote for and that wasn’t a problem. That was just 6 months ago.

Democrats care about neutrality like republicans care about fiscal responsibility.

DNC chairs shouldn’t be picking winners

The second the shoe is on the other foot.

Sorry, they’re too busy trying to stop David Hogg.

I more meant direct contact to individuals such as Ken Martin.

For that, you need to be someone that democrats actually listen to. How’s your netanyahu impression?

Their mailing address:

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE 430 South Capitol Street Southeast Washington, DC 20003

What I’m sending:

“Please find enclosed a printed copy of an email sent to me by Leaders We Deserve in which they thank me for my donation to them. Here you can see that I am willing to donate to causes that credibly represent me. Pay special attention to the absence of a donation in this envelope, as it was not an oversight on my part.”

If you do something similar, black out the “to” line on the email if you don’t want all the spam.

“Let me be unequivocal. No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a press call.

This is a position the DNC has acted contrary to for decades, and only decided they conveniently held when someone wanted to primary centrists. Ken Martin is not a departure from the centrist wing of the party’s decades of self-serving bad faith; he is a continuation and possibly an acceleration of it.

If you say so. Honestly, they’ve conditioned me to expect nothing but lies from the religious.

Sanders? Now that biden’s not running anymore, age is disqualifying again.

AOC? Women suddenly can’t win now that Clinton and Harris are no longer running.

Hogg? Welp, guess we suddenly like Marx and hate gun control. Until he’s no longer a problem.

i agree with hogg that the party needs a reset, but the vice chair of the party should not be the one making that comment because it gives all appearances that the party will be picking and choosing the primary candidates and throwing their weight behind their preferred candidate.

It’s neat how this hasn’t been a concern until just now.

Thus marking the greatest opposition democrats have mustered against anything this year.

Those religious people you refer to are pieces of shit who act like pieces of shit.

Don’t tell me. Tell them. They need to hear it.

Primaries. Where party leadership fought tooth and nail to keep challengers off the ballot and eventually just said “fuck it” and gave us who they wanted anyway.

And now they’re whining about neutrality because David Hogg wants to primary republican-lite incumbents in deep blue seats. “Vote in the primaries! Not like that!”

You make the choice based on the cards you’re dealt, not the ones you wished you have.

You appeal to the electorate you have, not the electorate you think should exist.

Beyond the election though, because you have more time, you try to change the game.

Yeah, we saw how that worked with Biden.

Instead he wants the party to endorse replacements of their own

Oh, if any of Hogg’s people win their primaries, the party will do everything it can to sabotage them in the general. centrists prefer republicans to progressives under all circumstances.

Reforming the DNC is our best shot.

Primarying all the useless centrists is the best way to do that. Which is why democrats are losing their shit over this, but were happy to vote for trump’s continuing resolution a few weeks back.

centrists oppose the left and work with the right.

And 2022. They did ad buys for republican candidates in the primaries and then gleefully announced that they had no money for progressive candidates in the general.
