  1. America: If you want more democracy; skip the primaries, skip the electoral college, skip precincts that can be gerrymandered.

    Just vote directly on all the candidates, count the votes, and put the representatives with most into congress.

    Every extra qualifying step in-between means LESS democracy.

  6. ARE YOU LISTENING AMERICANS

    there is a #primary coming up near you for many of us, where you can advance left #candidates to the general #election over spineless centrist milquetoast #DNC shit

    but the #primaries historically experience dismal turnout

    SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO

    find out what day it is. find out what you have to do

    then. fucking. do. it.

    YOU'RE GOING TO SHOW THE FUCK UP AND YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING #VOTE

    or shut the fuck up

    if you don't walk the walk, don't talk the talk

  7. #Alabama lawmakers approved a plan Friday for new #US #House #primaries if courts allow the state to use different congressional districts in this year’s elections, sending the #legislation to #Republican Gov. Kay Ivey.

    The move came the same day that the #Virginia Supreme Court dealt a major setback to #Democrats by overturning a #redistricting plan that could have helped Democrats win as many as 4 additional House seats.

  8. Democratic Majority for Israel #DMFI is a lobbying group advocating pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.
    They had cancelled their ads in NE-02 after the beneficiary, New Dem-endorsed Denise Powell, had disavowed support from pro-Israel PACs.
    Now they are running ads in NE-02 through a shell PAC called "Pro-Choice Majority 2026," which has the same campaign treasurer.

  9. #Democrat #ChedrickGreene beats #Republican #JasonTunney in a #Saginaw area special #election in #Michigan

    Meaning:

    The Michigan State #Senate will be 20-18 in favor of the Democrats, rather than a tie

    "Who cares, #Trump is the problem"

    On the contrary, the #presidency is just a capstone on a huge system, and when we take our eye off the little #elections, we get a systemic rot that leads to someone like Trump

    #Vote. Especially the #primaries. It all matters

  11. @gimulnautti @heidilifeldman

    you're being aspirational, and correct, but you're not announcing *how* to achieve that

    it's like going "arrest #Trump!"

    ok

    and?

    how?

    to get #rankedChoiceVoting, which is creeping in in the #USA, and would allow for stable viable 3rd parties... how?

    we have to elect #Democrats who support that (some do, some don't: vote in the #primaries people!)

    the #GOP has taken a blanket stand against #RCV nationally, so this is the only way forward

  12. "The #USA has the best #military and growing #freedom!"

    Mmm. Yeah. Uh huh. Mmm

    While my fellow Americans huff that cringe lying #cope, the truth is that there is a country that has the best military and growing freedom

    #Ukraine

    Ukraine is now the real "leader of the free world"

    The USA is rotting

    I wish my fellow Americans would FUCKING #VOTE ALREADY. Entitled assholes

    In the #primaries. Real left candidates

    Not #voting is submission to #fascism

  14. @Thumper1964 @horqua @scottmiller42 @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

    THIS!

    if you get the feeling from the #primary #vote coming up (for most) that there are no good #left #candidates (you're fucking #voting in the fucking #primaries.. right? right?)

    then what do you do?

    you fucking run yourself next cycle

    #AOC took down a #democrat #establishment titan, while working as a bartender

    why not you?

    you reading out there

    and yes Kevin! go for it! 👏 👏 👏

  15. @roknrol @mikelovesbikes @retech

    every state has different rules about who can #vote in the #primary

    you got closed, partially closed, partially open, open to unaffiliated voters, open, multi-party, etc

    it's fucking complicated, and part of our problem with voting in general in the #USA because people are never educated about it and never figure it out

    it still doesn't mean they are free of blame IF THEY DON'T FUCKING VOTE IN THE #PRIMARIES

    educate yourself AND VOTE

  16. @ErikUden

    the #democrats fucking suck

    but remember: we're stuck in 2 party because we are a shitty #FPTP voting system

    3rd party in our system divides the left #vote and helps #MAGA win

    (we can fix that with ranked choice voting... that's a whole other post)

    so we are stuck with one way forward:

    take over the democrats

    how?

    we have #primaries coming up and this is your chance to replace your spineless #democrat turd rep with a real leftist

    mob the primaries

    what did #mamdani teach us?

    RCV? We've got a plan.

    Join our statewide meeting on 4/12 from 1-2pm on Zoom for the grand unveiling of our new STRATEGIC PLAN to bring ranked choice voting to Illinois.

  18. @davoyager

    the #Democrats do suck. it's not just #Fetterman. many go "aw shucks" and then speak for their special interest donors instead of the people

    but

    the Dems are also #AOC, #Mamdani, #Talarico, #Warren, etc

    so

    we show up in the #primaries and get 50 Mamdanis on the #ballot for the November #election

    if instead someone goes "Fetterman exists, therefore all Dems are the same as the #GOP" they are #trollfarm from the right working a divide and conquer angle, or they are a moron

  19. So let’s talk about #Texas, and #primaries and interference. I’ll admit that maybe it’s sour grapes, as I love Jasmine, and I feel she was done dirty by Colbert first, and the TX #GOP Supreme Court, who absolutely interfered with the vote in her home county second. That said, I will support #Talarico as the candidate, but I do it with the full recognition of the racism at play.

    Some other interesting news, Sen #Cornyn will have to face a runoff with Ken #Paxton. Both of them are horrible humans, but I hope Paxton wins because he’ll be easier to beat in the general. Cornyn is a powerhouse with a lot of industry support, because he’s never met a lobbyist he wouldn’t suck off.

    Al Green is in danger of losing his seat, it’s gone to a runoff. His opponent is a pretty awesome young dude, and #Green is 80, so... young electorate could go either way.

    Dan #Crenshaw lost his seat. This pleases me. #Dems did pretty well, all #gerrymandering considered.

  22. @hacks4pancakes

    #midterms coming up

    #register to vote now

    show up in the #primaries to get real left #candidates in a few weeks

    if that fails, show up in the general #election anyways even if you feel the #democrats are shit

    they are shit

    that's not the fucking point. it's just tactics in a larger war

    the point is to get the #house to freeze the #trump agenda

    #VOTE, MOTHERFUCKERS

    lazy entitlement because you don't get perfect only helps #MAGA

  23. @aral @randahl @LVN2DRM

    well we can show up in the #primaries coming up soon and get 50 mamdanis in the ballot

    then show up in the general #election and push them over the finish line

    freezing #trump's agenda until 2028

    and then, showing up in the primaries again and deep sixing fucking #newsom, and get a real left candidate on the ballot

    and again again, show up in the general to get a president who will finally stop mindless support for #likud's #genocide

    to get it done

    we need to #vote

  24. @QasimRashid

    how did we get #mamdani?

    centrist #democrats anointed #cuomo as next mayor

    did people whine like losers and give up?

    no, they VOTED in the #primaries, and chose mamdani

    but in the general #election, there's cuomo again

    did people go "it's not faiiir waah"?

    no, they VOTED and chose mamdani

    meaning what?

    STOP FUCKING WHINING AND #VOTE, ASSHOLES

    the dems suck

    but it doesn't matter!

    there are primaries coming up in a few weeks

    WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO

    let's get 50 mamdanis

  25. @dzwiedziu @Wyatt_H_Knott @moz @idahobucks

    i reject that topic

    the #democrat establishment is a red herring

    anyone not acting, on the basis of spineless #democrats, is a moron

    #Mamdani showed us:

    you show up in the #primaries, reject #Cuomo

    then show up in the general #election, reject Cuomo again

    get the real left in power

    all the while dem central is hostile to Mamdani

    that should excite people!

    if instead people whine about the establishment and don't #vote, they are weak losers

  31. It's time to #register to #vote

    Review #candidates running in the #primaries #primaries2026 as a #Democrat

    Get the #left one into the general #election #election2026

    Let's get 50 #Mamdani s

    Yes the #Democrats suck

    Partially because you fucking assholes don't vote

    "You shouldn't shame..."

    Cynical toxic idealist whiners aren't even on the left. By *their* choice they don't matter. Ego masturbation on social media is not caring about the world

    This is for everyone with a heart *and* a brain

  32. @504DR @johnlogic @AlliFlowers @bolson

    exactly

    everyone is familiar with "how can i vote #democrat if they are so milquetoast #centrist"

    they are so centrist because you don't show up in the #primaries, motherfuckers

    the *#midterm* primaries

    it's. on. *you*.

    everyone in the #usa:

    #vote or fuck off

    if you don't vote, shut the fuck up

  33. Daniel Levy: "As the movement for Palestinian rights has built up one kind of popular power, pro-Israel forces have doubled down on financial power. The Democratic Party could have said they will not allow independent expenditure campaigns, because they are a travesty and a disgrace to democracy, but they didn’t — and so they have enabled those pro-Israel forces."

  34. "Despite broad popular support for legislation to curtail police violence, Congress got nothing done. Democrats, despite controlling both the House and Senate in 2021 and 2022, slow-walked the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, insisting on bipartisan support that never materialized."

    "Both #BLM activists voted into Congress have been pushed out."

    "Bowman and Bush have been routed out of Congress, thanks to a historic deluge of big-money spending against them. They battled challengers in the most and third-most-expensive congressional primaries in American history, respectively, and each was outspent roughly 4–1."

  35. Why #JamaalBowman’s #NewYork primary is huge for pro-#Israel groups
    
An #AIPAC-aligned #superPAC & others have spent increasingly huge sums of money in high-profile #Democrat primaries. Their record is mixed, but a #Bowman defeat would be their biggest win yet.

Pro-Israel groups make up an increasingly large presence in #primaries for #Congress. Even so, the effort to unseat Rep #JamaalBowman in Tue’s #primary is extraordinary.

  36. Friends from the US - #question about #voting. I’m registering in MA. My primary goal is to keep Trump and the GOP out. I’m a citizen but not educated in the mechanics of elections.

    Would it would be a good idea to declare as Republican so I can vote in the primary? Does that confer other hidden benefits to the party, or is it *just* for primaries?

    (Please boost if you have knowledgeable followers, I’d love an answer!)

    Edit: Also, I’m voting #absentee!

  37. @david_darmofal I couldn't have said it better. Thank you for reminding folks who the base of the Dem party is. And it's time people recognize and acknowledge that fact.
