We can’t move forward with out of touch “non fighters” leading the #Democrats. #KenMartin should resign IMMEDIATELY!!
His election autopsy report is a disaster and leaves out such important issues which influenced voters - ….. like #gaza. Pathetic.
New Dem leadership now before it’s too late!

Amanda Litman, president of #RunForSomething, fairly criticized Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin for refusing to release the autopsy that the DNC paid for and that explains why Trump won the 2024 election. She said Ken's actions undermine the trust of voters in a way that will reduce the supporter of voters who should be encouraged to vote for Democratic Party candidates.

💥the "Rural Urban Bridge Initiative" 💥
#RUBI's emergence alongside similar organizations like
🔸"Contest Every Race",
🔸the "Center for Working-Class Politics",
🔸"More Perfect Union",
and🔸 "Dirt Road Democrats",comes at a precarious moment in national politics.
Not only is the Democratic brand now routinely described as “toxic” outside of deep-blue cities and college towns,
but the meaning and purpose of 21st-century progressivism seems uncertain,
with many supporters believing it has deviated,
at least partially,
from its populist and #New #Deal origins.Some activists are beginning to entertain the nonpartisan path taken by independent #Dan #Osborn,
who since losing to Republican incumbent Deb Fischer in last year’s U.S. Senate race in Nebraska,
has started a "Working Class Heroes Fund"
to back future insurgents.But harrowing political defeats do create a window—at least temporarily—to take aim at ossified party structures and discredited strategies.
For organizers like #Flaccavento and #Etelson, these candid assessments are essential to mapping a recovery.
Though #RUBI aims, in part, to overhaul the activist PR-speak that typically puts off rural and less-educated workers,
Flaccavento,
who is steeped in rural development issues,
is frank about the big picture that most D.C. consultants and their paymasters evade.⭐️“Even the most down-to-earth language ain’t going to cut it until we address why so many people are pissed,” he says.
A significant part of RUBI’s work involves exploring how Democrats and the modern left went wrong with rural Americans.
That’s what “really differentiates us from almost every other rural group out there,”
says Flaccavento,
“which are more either trying to find better candidates
or just trying to make the case that the Democratic Party is the right party.”Flaccavento is adamant that progressives have to comprehensively recognize that they have been in a losing battle to
“persuade [blue-collar rural] people that we really are for them when they don’t buy it anymore.”RUBI’s work is about more than dissecting the weaknesses of contemporary progressivism, however.
Its major policy document,
“A Rural New Deal,”
co-published with "Progressive Democrats of America",
champions and expands upon the best aspects of President Biden’s domestic legacy,
particularly in the areas of antitrust enforcement
and re-establishing regional supply chains.But unlike many D.C.-based think tanks,
RUBI and its allies are not trying to graft a left-leaning technocratic agenda onto rural workers based on an abstract assumption of what they most need.Instead, RUBI is concerned with reimagining what
✅ “bottom-up prosperity”
looks like
in this age of regional inequality,
-- and retrieving the policy tools that give local communities “the capacity,”
as Flaccavento puts it,
“to solve many if not most of their problems.”https://prospect.org/2025/03/21/2025-03-21-sowing-rural-insurgency-democrats/
