Vote bluer (progressive/DSA) in the primaries and then vote blue!
(I actually mean it though)
Worked in New York, imagine if we all found enough Mamdani's to change representation across a majority of states and cities.
(https://www.progressivevictory.win/ helped get the last wave of socialist leaders elected, they need help, they can help you find candidates in your area to support and volunteer for)
Any that don't work with the corrupt DNC? I was curious with this one, but upon joining their discord saw that's all they wanted was supporting the people that compromise constantly with fascists instead of holding their ground and publicly telling them to go fuck themselves.
Leaders We Deserve is trying to primary establishment Dems in safe seats with actual progressive candidates.
Nothing for my state from what I see on their candidates page so not sure what to do with them. I don't like donating to groups I haven't seen action from in person for. Like I adore PSL, but their only contact lately has been asking for donations and doing stuff on the other side of the country from me. DSA does stuff in my state, but I've gotta convince myself a 45 minute - 1 hour drive is worth it at 10 AM.
Yeah, pretty much nobody voting in primaries is part of the reason we’re in this mess. It’s just old people for the most part
I've been doing that and, in a world where Democrats are actually interested in making the world better and more fair, maybe that would work.
The problem is that Democrats don't want that. They want to continue supporting big business, deporting "illegals", drone striking foreigners, making tons of money from corporate donations... But occasionally wave a rainbow flag. They want to keep our race into fascism under the speed limit, and are wondering why they're getting no traction with people who want to turn the fuck around.
If they had a platform that made even modest promises about taxing billionaires, bringing bloodsucking insurance companies and predatory banks to heel, getting the police in line etc. they'd have a wildly popular platform and they'd naturally stop trying to squash progressive candidates. But unfortunately, the corporations say fixing issues will make their stocks go down.
