“I’m not interested in anyone who is moving further away from the center,” said Cindy Bass, a Pennsylvania committee member from Philadelphia. “The center is where we have to be.”
They’re not going to change a thing unless people make them.
Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you believe nominating a centrist will only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee
Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can’t do it alone.
I just looked up my states person in leadership. National Finance chairman Chris Korge.
Korge is mentioned several times in the former Mayor’s book, Sins of South Beach: The True Story of Corruption, Violence, Murder and the Making of Miami Beach. In his book Daoud recounts two particular incidents where Korge offered him bribes in exchange for favorable votes in relation to real estate development projects under review by the Miami Beach City Council.
Daoud was later indicted (1991) and convicted (1992) on federal bribery charges and served 17 months in federal prison. Daoud testified against many of the South Florida players who had paid him bribes during his terms as Mayor. Korge was never charged for any of the bribes alleged in Daoud’s book.

Would this be “State Democratic Party chairs?” I’m not really sure how the party is structured and who votes. And apparently, the chair for my state resigned.
State Party Chairs have a good chunk of the votes, yes. Along with the vice chair and a mixture of others. I am assuming you are from Texas in which case, while the Texas democratic party chair will step down, it’s after the DNC chair elections. You can also reach out to the Texas Democratic Party Vice Chair Shay Wyrick-Cathey (shay@txdemocrats.org)
Getting my predictions in now: the 2028 Democratic nominee will be running on a platform of making the extermination of trans people 10% more efficient, people will say that you have to vote for them because at least they don’t also want to exterminate gay people, the Republicans will flip New Jersey, and the DNC will conclude that they should’ve run on exterminating the gays too.
These people have completely lost the plot. Being progressive on social issues is the only thing they have to offer, because they can’t be progressive on economic issues because of their donors. If you’re not going to adopt an economic platform that would actually address people’s needs, and you’re also abandoning us queer “freaks,” then what are you even going to run on? Fucking NAFTA? What, are you running a campaign to try to get elected president or to try to get appointed a mod on r/neoliberal?
I’d ask how people with such terrible political instincts are even relevant to making these decisions, but I already know the answer is money.
2024 election was dictated essentially entirely by minority voters swapping sides for economic reasons
DNC should run on purely social issues because they can’t address the economic issues
Hm.
I mean, ideally they ought to address the economic issues, but that’s a nonstarter because of their donors’ interests. They’re abandoning the stuff that they’re actually somewhat decent on to make the areas where they suck the focus of their messaging.
Donald Trump’s numbers barely changed from 2020 to 2024. He won because Democrat numbers collapsed. So their answer is to give their own voters even less to be excited about?
These people are truly idiots. I mean truly and deeply imbeciles. There’s no other word to describe them. How can they stand up and say the problem is the party politicked too hard on woke? Who did? Show me that campaign ad. I never saw it. The mere fact they are even saying that is why they cannot win. They’re incapable of victory. They have completely surrendered The Narrative to Republicans. They have completely and utterly allowed their opponents to frame them and accepted their opponents framing. There is simply no way to win if you do that. It’s simply moronic.
Kill this party. We have to. The only way forward is to blow up the Democratic party. This is our one chance. They’ve already dealt themselves such a blow we barely have to do anything. Don’t rally around a candidate. Leave. The worst thing that could happen has already happened. Now’s the one chance to smash it and start something new.
They are so out of touch thinking this is a 1 dimensional problem
