I don’t know how to fix this. Because this is pretty much, Word for Word exactly what Ken is doing at the DNC. Like this is his plan this is what he’s been talking about every single time he opens his mouth. I don’t know how to get people to know that democrats.org/news/dnc-and...
thanks for bringing attention to this!!!
Keep telling people. Make a bunch of TikTok videos with younger voters explaining what Martin is doing. You could even text this to people WITHOUT ASKING FOR MONEY. Dems just need to reach out and inform people. And stop wasting time on mainstream media interviews, etc. Waste of time.
I’m hoping to interview Ken Martin soon
Idk, either. The "news" media doesn't report such things to People, so People who aren't on the DNC mailing list wouldn't know this. DNC needs sales People. It's great that he's doing this. Any progress? Increased voter registration would be the metric to measure success, short of election results.
They posted it on all their socials and Ken talks about it every time he opens his mouth so it would be the first option, which is why I do what I do
Maybe he should take direct swipes at Republicans to get their attention, so to get FoxNews to talk about him 24/7 like they talk about Mamdani & Jasmine Crockett 24/7.
I mean, if you look at the DNC social media, that is pretty much all they do which personally I think is a mistake and I will be talking to them about it when they contact me, which will hopefully be soon
Admittedly, I don't look at the DNC socials, I follow you for their news & updates... But I'm thinking all the People out there in Country who don't follow the DNC wouldn't know that either. Perhaps a more aggressive PR would be useful to get the "news" media's attention, & in turn, the People's.
Wow. "I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm going to talk about it anyway."
You deemed him ineffective without bothering to look into what he’s done. We are all the sales team. If you want better messaging, be a better messenger.
He is ineffective, fundraising & voter registration are down, Rs who are running w a dictator have a bit more approval than his members. Now perhaps it takes time to build momentum, but if I were he, I'd be pitching a tent next to each military checkpoint & start registering voters & volunteers rn.
You were completely clueless about what he’s been doing like an hour ago, but now you’re an expert. 😂 Go pitch your own tent and show us how it’s done.
Did I mention the Republicans are running with a dictator who's deploying military with long guns against Americans here at home? I never claimed to be an expert. & I did not run to be the DNC Chairman. apnews.com/article/demo... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u...
Literally the left would claim the DNC was lying. The left needs to step up and fact check their sources.
The main comms opportunity Dems miss is in fundraising. I get a lot of emails and texts and very few of them talk about the actions Dems are taking/want to take and none link to these resources. Most barely message at all other than the money ask.
Your feed is great for sharing info and my Rep (Hank Johnson) has been excellent. But the fundraising texts and emails are a missed opportunity
Keep in mind most of the emails you are getting are not from the Democrats. They are from other groups. The Democrats because of Ken are very very good at listing what they are using the money for groups like Emily‘s list not so much the DCCC not so much the DLCC sent six emails today
I’m aware - I’ve lost track of how many different groups/PACs contact me. But the DSCC and DCCC are the worst messaging wise.
Looking at comments on Ken Martin’s page, @kenmartin.bsky.social there are plenty of calls for an endorsement of Mamdani. It does seem strange that Dem leadership has yet to do that. What are they waiting for? The future of the Dem Party - and our country - relies on bold change!
PA Dems are working hard on this race - DNC is giving 1 million to state parties a month!! But here’s an alternative fund raising platform. bsky.app/profile/char...
Help VA!! They could flip every single state office blue!
Everyone just pick something to do consistently each week! If you don’t like DNC, well there are many other orgs doing the work! There are so many actions to do it’s overwhelming - just search mobilize.org! If everyone on this thread just signed for 1 action, we’d sweep 2025 elections.
@ariellaelm.bsky.social I know this is profoundly frustrating for you & that you are working very hard. But you can't let this frustration & stress make you sick. You need to take care of yourself. Don't be codependent with your work. Do your work, but keep your boundaries, OK?
If I was nearby with some chicken soup, I would be bringing it over.
I think that a lot of people are struggling to cope with the fact that we’re in real life and not in a movie about politics. You only get a montage of transformative moments in a movie made long after the fact.
I would just encourage you to keep doing what you are doing! The word is getting out. 👍
His Howard Dean 2.0 strategy is just a talking point without money. A measly $15M on-hand with a $20M bill from Harris sure ain't helping.
You do realize the only way he gets money is if people donate to the DNC….
Hmmm, wonder why people don't wanna give the DNC money...
Because of the lies, they’re being told that the DNC isn’t doing anything. I wonder who’s telling them those lies.
They're not being told the DNC isn't doing anything. They're angry that the DNC isn't doing more. They're angry that their Reps & Sens in Congress aren't doing more. 19% approval should be a tornado siren for the party to do more.
What do you want the DNC to do?
Is crying about lying gonna help them raise money? What are they doing to combat the so-called lies? Politics is a dirty contact sport. Is it really shocking that 62% of Democrats want party leadership replaced? Those same status quo establishment leaders backed by the DNC.
You’re being really vague can you be more specific about what you want them to do?
The status quo establishment gotta go. The current leadership gotta go. The party must get younger and smarter with social media and independent media.
I’m really tired of the word establishments because some of our best Democrats have been around for a while. We have to keep people around to know what they’re doing. We can’t just start over. We will lose 100% of the time if we do.
No one is entitled to a seat in Congress. Primaries make a candidate a better & stronger candidate. All incumbents should be primaried.
If those establishments are for preserving the status quo, take corporate money, take foreign lobby money, take dark money, and are old as fuck... they gotta go. If they stay, we continue losing 100% of the time anyway. Rebuilding often requires starting over.
Fully commit to progressive populism. Fully commit to being the party of low & middle income workers. Fully commit to kitchen table costs for families. Fully commit to fighting oligarchy, corporate interests, foreign lobbying, & the military industrial complex vs. the needs of families.
Have you looked at the Democratic messaging because that’s what all Democrats are messaging on I don’t know what you’re seeing or not seeing clearly
The messaging from Congressional Dems is still all over the place, except for the issue of the Epstein files.
Jeez, that requires a long answer in a substance post. Ditch Martin's 57 state strategy. It's a long term plan not suited to win next year. They don't have the money, the popularity, or great unpopularity of the other side. Pour resources into winnable seats.
This is fascinating because someone replied the exact opposite of you like exactly the opposite couldn’t have been more opposite
My focus is winning next year. There may not be another national election after that. A 50 or 57 state strategy is a 4-6-8 year plan. That assumes we still have free & fair elections then.
You're doing a great job of informing people! The fact that it's so easy to reduce most public doomers to silence I would say is a good sign.
If there is a master plan it has not trickled down to our local democratic committee. Maybe they could start there.
You mean the fact that the DNC is going to local communities across the country? @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social was just in North Dakota two weeks ago.
No, I’m talking about the Democratic committees in each county. The ones that run the local candidates. That canvas locally, not just connected to a national campaign. I’ve never seen any kind of coordinated messaging or effort from the DNC. And ours is a pretty active committee.
You just said you’re not talking about the national committee are you talking about the national committee or not?
I’m saying that if there is a master plan the national committee should share it w the local committees so that messaging can be consistent from the top down.
You mean the messaging that is public on the Democrats website
It starts with you and me, we the people. Getting educated about local government and local elections.
💯 This is important.
I suspect there is a certain subset of people who don't want to know, and that specific barrier is near impossible to breach.
In part, I think this happened due to being conditioned for rage-bait. Most people now wait for a soc. media post raging at something, and our brains are so ready to jump to conclusions that it feeds on itself everywhere all at once. It’s hard to get factual info through that.
Yeah. And how "anger" is seen as "something" whereas explanation or calm action is seen as "not doing anything"
Yep. Turns out that constant and repetitive triggering of the amygdala outside of a real threat causes people to only see extreme reactions as action. Outside of that is an unseen world of ordinary but internal anxiety that has people on edge for no reason except they stare at fear 8-16 hrs/day.
specifically, they don't want *other people* to know, so they drown out any actual dem messaging with "lol dems aren't doing anything"
They're called political hobbyists and they don't actually care about making the world a better place.
All I get from the DNC are texts asking for money.
So which is better: grass roots fundraising or dark money?
That might be because the DNC is a fundraising organization.
Well they are doing a good job pissing me off. Every single day.
I don't get that many texts from the DNC, actually. You may be getting texts from a lot of scammers not the the DNC.
You're not gonna believe this, but if you want Democrats to fight they do kind of need money. Yes, the emails and texts can be annoying; but if they're "pissing you off" maybe you should take a deep breath.
I want to see Dems fighting. Yes, I know some individuals are doing a great job but there doesn't seem to be any strategic planning by the Party. Where's Schumer? Jefferies? And yes, I know it takes money.
this is the strategy democrats.org/news/dnc-and...
Thank you
I'm convinced people don't want to know what the Democrats are doing so they can keep complaining about what the Democrats aren't doing. That's the only explanation. The information is all readily available for anyone who is curious enough to do a damn Google search.
It was also what Jaime Harrison did for the previous four years
That too, and @jaimeharrison.bsky.social got even less credit because he was starting from even lower than ken. Ken has been able to work off of what Jaime started, but no one even realized that Jaime had started it. It really sucks. 1/2
I wish I had been doing this work when he was chair so I could’ve given him the attention he deserved 2/2
You’re doing wonderful work this year. That matters most 💕
That's why we need to do it now, so people appreciate him. Thanks for all you are doing.
