Then stop.
It’s taken them more than a decade to realize this. It’s too late. We need to go from 0 to 100 in the next 3 months and secure midterms. Once that is done you can expect Orange cheeto to have a huge, disorganized and fascist response, which we will have to counter PHYSICALLY because you know it will get there. Ultimately we need to cut off blue welfare from southern states first at state-level payroll. I have no clue how private companies will do that, but we need options OUT OF THE BOX of current centrist-dem mentality.
Way to catch up to decades ago…now lets get the train moving.
They need to stop saying that gerrymandering is „not playing by the rules“.
It absolutely *is* playing by the rules as they currently exists.
The current rules suck so they should (and are) actively trying to change the rules to make things better.
There are no rules. There haven’t been rules for over a decade. Now they’ve realized it, democrats have years worth of disadvantages to overcome.
Took them way too long to figure this out. Literally should have flipped the script at least by Obama’s second term but most definitely by 2016.
Now it may be way too late.
Fuck decorum. Act like MAGA. Act worse than MAGA. That’s all that gets results in this hellhole that is 2025.
This the same guy who ousted David Hogg over some obscure election rule?
Is this the dude that cried cuz of David Hogg?
Good on him for actually saying the democrats need to fight instead of MAGA needs to calm down. That might finally make some moderates (especially moderate citizens) start taking this seriously and actually prepare.
And good on him for referring to this as “bringing a pencil to a gun fight” cause that’s *literally what’s happening*
Unless the rules lawyering lets them crush their left flank.
it’s playing by the rules and also listening to your base
how yinz lost 2 elections in 2016 and 2024 is inexcuable and shows a fundamental messaging flaw. No way Trump should have won so easily in 2024.
Listen to what people want. Message your platform better. And choose better candidates. Doing Bernie dirty in 2016 pissed off a LOT of people.
I know the Democratic party is not stupid. They literally won in 2020. But how do you lose two elections that should be slam dunks? Don’t just say the other side and that half this country is in a cult. There’s more than that
>Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin on Monday praised his party’s efforts to push back on GOP-friendly congressional maps in Texas, arguing Democrats can’t be the only ones who “play by the rules anymore.”
>“I’m sick and tired of this Democratic Party bringing a pencil to a knife fight. We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We’ve got to stand up and fight,” Martin said as the DNC kicked off its Monday meeting in Minnesota.
>“I call on all of us to fight for a country that’s being attacked from the inside, a country being attacked by an insidious force. … And are you ready to fight? I know Texas is always ready for that, right? Right, Texas? Is California ready for that fight?” the DNC chair said, prompting cheers.
They. Are. A. Capitalist. Party.
They. Do. Not. Care. About. Us.
I would also like a party with vision. Let’s say Democrats had 66 senators, house majority, and president—what would they do given everything happening right now.
Welcome to the game, moron. You’re about thirty years late.
Fake performative BS. We know where he stands.
Some of us realized this three or four Presidents ago, but alas.
Only took 15 years for the DNC to arrive at the correct conclusion. Heres an idea: maybe democratic voters should be demanding every single one of these people step down and let people more capable of meeting the moment take charge. I know, crazy idea right!
He said this before, until David Hogg challenged them and then cried on a zoom call saying he couldn’t take it anymore. Lmao
We could have told you that 20 years ago
Yea we’ve all been screaming this for the last 10 years.
About a decade to late
DNC chair should resign. I don’t trust this guy at all.
Wow you finally figured this out 3 decades too late.. This party is a party of buffoons.
The democrats are finally maybe starting to realize that just because one side says there are rules doesn’t mean that everyone plays by them. The only rules are what both sides agree to. Everything else is just a suggestion.
Now he’s getting it?! Now?!
Today I learned that there is someone as DNC chair. This party sucks. There is no coordination. Why don’t they have a Project 2026, or 2028? There is no obstructionism, congress is still full of dems that are trading stocks. This party needs new leadership that will not only say Trump is bad (which won’t win over his supporters) but that there is a plan to shore up our democracy and kick out the special interests.
If Democrats go after the reins of control as wholeheartedly as Republicans do, Republicans will probably never hold the reins of control again.
Yeah, 8 years too late DNC.
Yeah it’s pretty dumb to try and play a game when you’re 3 editions behind. There are no rules now, dummies.
Idk as someone that lives in Minneapolis and just had one hell of a mayoral convention where donor money reversed the endorsement the DFL delegates decided on, it is news to me that democrats ever played by the rules. Seems like they also make rules for themselves
Ken Martin has yet to put forth an agenda. It’s very unnerving that the only thing that’s gotten neolibs to rally is the potential of more Dems losing their House seats.
Rules? What fucking rules?!
Way too fucking late. Democrats dicked off while Biden was in power. They should have been preparing and digging in
controlled opposition
Democrats don’t need to start breaking the rules. They need to start enforcing the ones we have. We had 4 years of Biden and virtually nothing happened because he didn’t want to „go after“ a political opponent. In doing so he let a racist criminal become president again.
Biden and Garland not being willing to trow the book at Trump because it would look bad, will end up being the death knell of our democracy.
