also lol at Venom's analogies in the OP. You want a WW2 analogy that makes sense? How about Munich 1938. The dems sold out their principles to avoid a bigger disaster...and then the big disaster happened anyway.

Zikan posted:here's a draft for the message on getting involved with the DNC. it's aimed toward sharing on fb so less "full communism now" then i would have done. I’ll probably add more and edit it but the civil war is loving on and we need to start fighting That's a good idea! Let me see who my rep is- quote:Illinois Michael Madagin  never mind

Mike the TV posted:A Hillary loss is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for the DNCe and her supporters to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the progressives than on the establishment. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.

Mr. Jive posted:I hope someone can quantify this someday but Trump wasn't given a free pass at all. He made so many gaffes and scandals that people stopped caring. I think that's the biggest  for me, is that if anyone should know that scandals have a diminishing return on their impact, it would be the loving Clintons

Update to Illinois goons: Don't call Madigan's Springfield office number. The guy on the other side said that it's illegal to use the office for political purposes (yeah yeah I know but if any of us had the connections to circumvent these laws we wouldn't be here). He did suggest that I call the State Democratic office. The number for that office is (217) 546-7404

Got off the phone with a person at the IL dem office. She took down my support for Keith Ellison and said she would pass my comments along to our state's reps on the National Party. She also gave me the number for getting involved with the party locally. For other Chicagoons, the number for the Cook County Dem Party is 312-263-0575

GlyphGryph posted:How exactly does money even help? Are they paying for professional lobbyists to contact the legislature and speak for them? I have always been a bit iffy about rallies unless they actually have a specific goal, they generally seem to exist for solidarity more than for their effects on outside events. Someone actually schmoozing pols probably is more effective... assuming thats even what the money would go to, which it might well not be Yeah I was wondering this too, even Keith Ellison's petition page was asking for money.

loquacius posted:Yeah I probably should have specified that when I said "pro-labor" I didn't necessarily only mean "pro-union". It's very possible to campaign on workers' rights without talking about unions at all. Also we've talked ITT about expanding the definition of "working class" to include office drones and I definitely still think we need to do that.  I push a mouse for a living, but I live in a studio and paycheck to paycheck. Middle Class I am not, and if restoring the Left in America means changing my self identity, I'm glad of it.

Cook County update: Haven't heard anything since giving them my email. I guess "we don't want no one no one sent" is still in effect. Organizing something independently seems more and more sensible.

Concerned Citizen posted:well that's what i mean. dems should have a message that points to a particular future we want to see, not just protecting the status quo. it's hard to build a party brand around "everything is good, except for the things we didn't fix yet." but they're not going to do that because it's hard to get dems to come together on policy without a sitting president to be the spokesperson for it. it's hard to present "the democratic plan" when you have 10 guys on the left saying the plan doesn't go far enough and 10 guys on the right saying the plan is left-wing garbage  "It's haaard to set a message!" Well then get the gently caress out of politics

Concerned Citizen posted:it's not hard to set a message, it's definitely hard to set a compelling national message that plays in every competitive district in the country. which is why the party tends to go district-by-district. Setting a national message is their loving job if they want to lead a national party. So far, this district-by-district poo poo has resulted in Dems losing ground everywhere. It's time they re-evaluate that, and maybe not put some weaksause fund-babby up against Marco Rubio next time.

Neurolimal posted:Hillary and Biden are both bad, before the election I would have said Biden was worse, but the only redeeming factor of neoliberalism was the perception that it was Very Competent At Denying Republicans The Presidency. If Hillary can't accomplish that then she's a pretty bad Neoliberal, which is extra bad and outpaces Biden's badness I think that is at the heart of what turned me from a lukewarm "Democrats okay, I'd like to have European liberalism here but what can you do?" to "gently caress the Democrats, full socialism NOW!", that as disappointing as they felt, they at least kept the randroids and god-bots off the levers of power. If they cannot do even that, then what is the point of supporting Third Way politics?
