Anyone have any info on yes voters visiting specific places in Illinois? I'd like to pay them a visit.

Democrats need to primary all these old fucks the way the crazy maga crowd primaried Republicans

[–] F_OFF_Reddit@lemmy.world 49 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Big surprise, old suits in the democratic party don't represent the modern democratic voter.

There needs to be term limits, especially based on age, and to whipe out any form of stock trading and "donations".

The reason they're still in office is for 30 years the DNC has put protecting incumbents above all else, including beating republicans.

The DNC power structure is pretty much the opposite of a democracy, but we just got our furtherest left chair in over 30 years, and his performance as a state party leader shows his biggest concern is beating Republicans, and he's accomplished that to great success by just not putting the party in-between voters and the progressive candidates they want to vote for.

It's an incredibly low bar, but one Ken Martin easily clears.

Don't hate the (literally a month old) new blood for the failings of the old.

The entire Democratic Party leadership needs to resign and be replaced by people who will actually fight for working Americans.

In November Schumer and the other leaders suffered the worst defeat in party history yet they haven't realized the only thing left for them to do is resign in shame.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

The worst defeat in party history is definitely Reagan 1984.

Not going to happen.

Change has to come from the bottom, not the top.

[–] WorkersCorps@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

Couldn't agree more - it will only happen if they receive enough public pressure and those of us who understand what's happening here have a responsibility to do what we can to spread the word.

Chuck is a pussy and needs to go ASAP

Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it's why they keep fucking losing.

Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren't a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 21 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Two sides of the same coin if you will.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

You can't have a coin with one side, and both sides need coin in their bank account.

Call your democratic rep and demand that they insist Schumer resign.

(202) 224-3121

At this point, I am Not donating a single dollar more to the party. I won’t vote for a democrat at the top of the ticket and will pick a DSA candidate or green candidate. If the democrats aren’t willing to fight for democracy or strengthen it when they’re in power, I won’t reward them with votes.

Every democrat senator needs to be primaried.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Me neither. I'm done. They have until midterms to change my mind.

[–] TemplaerDude@lemm.ee 79 points 16 hours ago (25 children)

Do-nothing Democrats strike again.

Schumer is a coward and a fraud. The weakest leader in a generation. He should resign in shame.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Rumor is that he's doing it because he has a book tour starting tomorrow and if there's a shut down he can't go. Fucking cretin.

Schumer is a traitor, capitulator and collaborator.

his response to ice literally kidnapping a man for speech was three paragraphs of "oh yeah totally fuck him hate how fucking Arab he is" before finally saying "but this might be a little bit wrong? uwu" and asking for reasons rather than fucking demanding he be released immediately.

Chuck "blackbagging might be wrong" Schumer. between him and Amy I wonder how much worse a family can get.

fascist collaborator piece of shit.
