Tuesday’s election results demolished the conventional wisdom that Democrats need to run cautious, corporate-friendly centrists to win in purple and red states.

The voting members of the DNC recognized that after the 2024 election…
That’s why they pivoted to Martin as chair, and why trying to win every race and supporting everyone that made it thru fair primaries paid off.
Like, Martin literally spent a decade running Minnesota, where over and over he saw the best way to turn a purple/red state blue, was progressive candidates.
It’s really getting old that people don’t realize the party is essentially the chair, and the only thing this chair wants more than charismatic progressives, is fair primaries.
As a Minnesotan I have been so happy with the DFL here. I was so happy when he hit the national spot. Running progressive and focusing on pocketbook issues instead of playing catch-up against whatever cultural issue the Republicans want to play. You can still support minorities but stay on message of helping everyone
Logically it makes sense too; Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
If people basic needs aren’t met, it’s hard to care about anything (or anyone) else.
Meet everyone’s basic needs, and we stop the infighting. That’s the real reason the oligarchs want to gut social safety nets. If we’re not afraid for ourselves, we’ll start caring about others.
If we all start caring about others and can plan past the next pay check, suddenly everyone realizes billionaires are the problem.
Yes, this so much!! The right-wings mock empathy, when that is what we need more of, like the song, What the World Needs Now! And end their artificial scarcity.
