Prepare to be disappointed in November
This one-two punch with the SCOTUS and the Virginia Supreme Court redistricting cases really fuqed us. There is a good chance we come up short in November.
I hope I’m wrong, but the polls have been wrong many times before. Days like today are why I got my Irish passport.

Does the Democratic Party need a special think tank?So that they will have a plan of action whenever they take power again?
The status quo surely cannot continue.
What strategy should they follow?
In my opinion, nothing can be done until the mess is cleaned up.
The corruption must be stopped and it must be punished. There must be accountability. The short term problem is that winning the House and/or Senate does not control the Justice Department. But it would permit investigations and examinations under oath. These crooks must answer for their actions and be held accountable for their actions. To "establish justice" should be the first act of a new Congress.
In my opinion, Democrats should be planning ahead for what needs to be done to rebuild our government and our democracy. It is going to be a huge task.
The fascists are in control and they have no inhibitions about stealing everything that is within reach.

The white working class has always been racist. No one makes them listen to hate radio or look at Fox News.if you want black folks to go away just say so. We have been harmed more than any other group after fighting for everyone’s rights and you want to cater to the people who are celebrating our pain. Economics will not change hearts nor will messaging. The pain he is inflicting on that working class may change votes but they were comfortable in celebrating the same people who are stealing everything from farmland to equites. Enjoy.

That's not a platform
32 min ago
It will sell well to the Bluesky activist wing of the party but, even amongst the bulk of No Kings protestors, we'll likely find that most voters just want him gone and concrete legislative rollbacks of his terrible policies and EOs.
So, yes, there will be plenty of people who want their pound of flesh, but a platform that is little more than vengeance for the Trump years will fall short for people want to move forward, pay less for groceries and gas, have better healthcare and a more secure future.

It needs input from unwashed Democrats
59 min ago
Look how Indivisible has organized millions of people by getting out into the heartland, by getting ordinary Democrats to mobilize and organize at grass roots levels.
Make a donation to or join Indivisible, we the people are going to have to save ourselves, it is up to us to throw out the billionaire traitors.
Doing polls and pumping money at the election is not enough, Democrats need a platform to run on, say we are going to try to expand the Supreme Court, say you are going to try to fight Citizens United and get big money out of politics. Make republicans defend money in politics.
Nominate a non-politician for president in 2028, a person who unites both progressives and moderates.
I like Miles Taylor, he speaks with fire and Malcolm Nance for VP. Someone like Sally Yeats.
Democrats need to start thinking outside the box, times have changed. We need a president who will nominate the best person as AG to hold Magats accountable. If he/she can't get confirmed make him/her acting AG.
We cannot just move on.

Virginia Redistricting is Dead
Yet again Republicans seem to come out on top.
It's literally like we are cursed. Not sure how Republicans can, very literally, rape and steal and grift with impunity and it all still works out for them but Democrats seem to go one step forward, two steps back, every single time.
I shudder to think what the second half of this administration would like if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate. If all the Southern states redistrict, especially in light of this turn of events, we may be facing a permanent Republican majority. Our country will not survive that.

But by then it will be too late and Republicans could very likely stay in control of the House and Senate for the remainder of his current term and I don't see how we get out of this with our country intact with another two years of this.

way too soon. With the redistricting and voter

We need better messaging, including a 24/7 YouTube channel run by a coalition of podcasters, journalists,
52 min ago
pundits, activists, lawyers and celebrities who are willing to speak out in support of liberal issues and the importance of this election. All those people donating their time.
None of the individual podcasters, journalists, etc., or even TV networks have enough reach on their own. We need them cooperating on a 24/7 streaming channel that will be there with the latest news and responses and analysis any time anyone wants to check in, with short videos created and released constantly on TikTok and other platforms.
And we need them to be willing to donate their time and expertise. This is an emergency.
