I'm more interested in mobilizing people outside of the electoral process at this point.

I will continue to vote but, on a national level, I no longer believe that lasting meaningful change will happen at the ballot box.

I have even less faith in the DNC ability to drive that change regardless of who is the chair. I think the best hope in that regard is an insurgent campaign a'la Bernie 2016/2020, and even then...idk.

There is power where there is people, the DNC seem to see this as an inconvenience. People are where I'm interested in spending my energy now.

Spending meaningful political capital on the DNC seems about as effective as that billion dollars in donations was for the Harris campaign this cycle.

Not discouraging anyone from doing it, as much as encouraging y'all to put the work in outside of the electoral process.

You do you.

I love how they think the best way forward is to become the embodiment of the election strategy that just failed so spectacularly for Harris. Brilliant.

To be fair, they probably would have been upset by Harris's pro-israel cabinet picks too.

In the eastern Kansas city that I live in, a living wage for a single person with no kids is almost $20/hr. There is no way $18 is nearly enough in California.

It would be great if Connect would let us see the url for these sort of links with out needing to click on them. I always worry about navigating to a website that I would rather not.

My grandmother started smoking after her doctor suggested that she take it up in order to help her lose weight after pregnancy. She smoked the rest of her life.

It's funny how many things we consider fashionable or attractive are just displays of wealth. Things like those ridiculous sleeves or those white pants seem to mostly function as a way to demonstrate your lack of need to do any sort of manual labor.
