I want the Democrats to ditch billionaires like Reid Hoffman, lobbying groups like AIPAC, and vice versa. After that I want them to call Republicans the party of robber barons and Epstein unrelentingly. When they get a majority in Congress I want them to pass Medicare For All and Green New Deal.

Even the “I want…I want!” is annoying. Try, “I’d like…” and then courteously explain why and how we can achieve this. Remember that you’re arguing against the majority. Sway them with reason and calm. I want a society with empathy for those less fortunate and equity for those isolated.
Also how am I arguing against the majority? The majority don't give a fuck about Hakeem Jeffries whining about his party having no leverage or the feelings of Ken Martin crying like a little baby in the same call with David Hogg (a parkland shooting survivor but besides the point).
the majority vote. telling them they’re “crying and whining” ain’t going to win them over. Give them options. And participate locally. This one-party authoritarianism won’t go away overnight.
I think you're confused, I am referring to very powerful members of the party and DNC acting weak in the face of Trump's assault on democracy, the economy, and life as we know it. I never said the voters were "crying and whining". Don't know where the fuck you got that from.
you do realize that a number of people you’re trying to sway are supportive of the DNC apparatus, so you’re calling them names as well. Just be smoother.
If you're considering the optics, then I would look in the direction of Zohran Mamdani. I'm just giving my honest thoughts on what I'd like to see from the blue party.
There you go! Promote Mamdani’s platform. Tell people what it is and why you like it. You’ll find that A LOT of people, even on the far right, think wealth inequality is really big problem. Ask anyone why the GOP thinks tax cuts will lower the deficit. Keep it positive! Don’t divide.
Yes it was positive but it wasn't without talking shit and taking a shit on Cuomo being one of Trump's fellow besties along with picking up the phone and answering to Bill Ackman and Ken Langone instead of regular working New Yorkers. He attacks in a way that I never see from many Dems.
Well they’re actually in a campaign, so criticizing one’s opponent is fair enough. Your angry rant toward Newsom is why i’m here. He’s not in a campaign and he is attacking the ruling party. Feel free to guide your anger toward Cuomo. It’s misguided when aimed at Newsom right now.
It's misguided to point out a Democrat governor's cruel policies against homeless people?
His policies are horrendous on homelessness, as are most everyone’s in this state. They exist because the majority of Californians want homelessness to go away, but aren’t willing to lose their own property values or have affordable housing anywhere near them.
Sounds like a uniquely bad cultural problem with California in this particular case.
are you not from here?
