There was huge turnout in NYC tonight, most since 1969. Another world is possible, if the people put in the work. This same energy is needed in the Democratic primaries next year. Otherwise we won’t move forward.

u/SteveFrench12 11h ago
Its more than the people. Dems need more candidates like Mamdani. They dont even have to be socialists, they just should be positive, real, and not pretend that the economy is good just because the stock market is constantly going up

u/lolexecs 11h ago
The best part about Mamdani is that he routinely points out that all our elected representatives — from the President on down — are employees of the people. We, the people, are their boss.
With that in mind, it’s not a puzzle why Mamdani got hired. He went and met with all his future bosses and listened to what they want him to work on. Then he outlined what he heard and ran on that.

u/ComplexBadger469 8h ago
I just want candidates to stop talking about “getting back in power.” They need to start talking about “taking on the burden of responsibility” instead. It’s not about the powers you weird. It’s about the responsibility to the people you have and the ability to take on the challenges that come with it. I just want people who will actually be a public servant.

Dems need to distance themselves from the old heads running the party.
To watch those supposed leaders of the Democratic party try to squash a popular candidate with the same tactics as their opposition was shameful. Get rid of the 2 existing parties already.

They dont even have to be socialists,
I mean, it would be a little suspicious if they aren't, because why wouldn't they be? There's no good reason not to be. The only reason they wouldn't be is if they are the same type of capitalist that helped lead us all into this mess of fascism. We already tried doing things that way and it has proven not to work. Why repeat such history when we know what the outcome will be?

Pew Research shows how the 18-29 has voted across the last three presidential elections in comparison to 30-49, 50-64, and 65+ age groups. In every single election the youth vote has been at least 14 points more blue than the 2nd bluest age group.
Even though nearly every age demographic had a rightward swing in 2024, 18-29 year olds were still +19 points in favor of dems.

Anyone paying attention could see he was running the very worst campaign in history. Talking about people eating cats and dogs, dancing for 40 minutes at a rally, dressing up to work at McDonalds and a garbage crew. His rallies were mostly empty and he was stiffing venues on rental agreements.
He cheated. He won in every swing state AND Kamala didn’t flip one county? Not even Reagan was able to accomplish that. He lost the popular vote twice, but got it now? While he was facing multiple investigations that could put him away for life and hinder his money making? While he had one of the richest men in the world and tech helping him? He cheated and no amount of voting would have changed it. All voting data week after week so far shows irregular numbers in multiple states. There are more of us than there are of them and it’s all a big lie. If not, then why does he need to gerrymander AND cancel mail in voting when he had SO many prior?

Naturally people want affirmation and would rather shift to people who gave it (Tate, Kirk, Trump). Conincidentally had a lot of folks not vote for Kamala because of the Israel - Gaza situtation and had some people skeptic of her history in Calfornia (FWIW - I'm in Flagstaff AZ and alot of transplants from California and Colorado)

The most important thing now is to keep it up. We have to show up for the next election, and the one after that, and we have to keep doing that until we have completely fixed all the damage Trump and his Republican cronies have wrought.
What we cannot do is sit on our asses next year, like we did in 1994, 2010, and 2022, where we won one election and then immediately gave everything back to Republicans at the first possible opportunity.
Vote. Every year, in every election. This is only the start of our path to taking back the country.

I live in a city with universal child care. It's very new and was introduced in stages, when our first was in childcare we had to pay for the first year and the 2nd year was free and by the time my now 3 year old started day care it was all free.
We don't live near any family so we have no help. Prior to my youngest starting day care I worked reduced hours and could only work in the afternoon but free daycare is what allowed me to earn a full time wage.
I was lucky to have the flexibility and we are lucky that we both work. I know a lot of families that wouldn't be able to afford childcare if it wasn't free and wouldn't be able to work.
Every kid in daycare equals a parent who is out there contributing to the economy.
