Crowsbeak posted:I would argue that it should not just work with the democrats. Are Republicans awful? Yes. But so are Democrats both will continue to have leadership that backs the destruction of Central American nations that cause the refugee problem. Both will support anti worker policies. We need to consider having a process by which we can have representation in both parties. As we need to destroy both and replace them with a workers party. A party that splits off from both not just one or the other. while their membership grows, in order to successfully make demands i think it would help to be directly associated with a party. i agree that i want to win it all, but i think organized leverage could shift the dems on certain platforms. plus it makes it accessible to normies. you get to "still be a democrat" and the union is just an organized wing of their base plus the union deflects criticism both ways. the membership is just supporting their union, the leadership is just taking orders from their members. the union will have much more power in defining the narrative.

If conservadems can have a Blue Dog brand I see no reason why there can't be a union/flag/brand for dems that don't succ. Maybe focus on strengthening the Justice Dems?

rudecyrus posted:While I support working for downticket races, what guarantees any winners won't become succ after spending any amount of time in the Democratic Party? Good question! Here's what I can promise out of a Jess Senate office: 1. We will not hire lanyards. We will hire out of the current team (of majority volunteers), Delaware activists, and low income individuals who need the work and training. 2. The seat will be used mostly in an activist role. While as Senator, she will of course have procedural responsibilities, her most important task will be boosting the work of current activists in the state, and campaigning for progressives in Delaware and nationally. Can I guarantee a perfect future if she's elected? Nope. Can I guarantee we will primary the gently caress out of her if she turns succ? Yes.

SPEAKING OF PRIMARIES!!! Since we are all upset that Biden is the nominee why not funnel that anger into taking the electoral scalp of one of the succiest Democrats in the House: Steny Hoyer? If you want to do the work, start making a real difference, and grow the progressive tent. Get involved with state, local, and Congressional races to start moving the conversation and needle in that direction. It isn't going to happen without a broad coalition of progressives so let's grow that coalition. Let's bring more people into this fight. Let's elect people like Mckayla Wilkes and get more Progressive voices in Congress. https://www.mckayla2020.com/ Volunteer to phone bank. You can do it from anywhere in the country and the Maryland Primaries have been pushed back so we have more time to take Steny by surprise. He isn't even campaigning. He thinks he has this sewn up because he hasn't faced a challenger in over 20 years. We can take out one of the most prominent establishment democrats and put in his place a progressive woman of color. Volunteer, get involved and make a difference. We all have time now that we are sitting around at home. Instead of shitposting, why not help out the cause? https://twitter.com/MeetMckayla/status/1248641991270961154 Watch this video and get inspired. Get this woman elected. Why not choose to stay in the fight? What do you have to lose? Sanders lost. This is true. But that doesn't mean it's over. It means that we need people to pick up where Sanders left off. Sanders built a movement. It is up to everyone who considers themselves a leftist to grow the tent. Bring more people in at all levels and get them elected to office. Let's do the work. ((Crossposting from other threads because I need Mckayla to curb stomp Hoyer at the polls and this thread was recommended to me.))

Incumbent Nancy Pelosi and Shahid Buttar are running in the general election for U.S. House California District 12 on November 3, 2020. Buttar's endorsements include his local San Francisco DSA chapter, Silicon Valley DSA, and The People for Bernie. And he doesn't have a $24k fridge full of ice cream. Lee Fang of The Intercept wrote an article on Buttar: NANCY PELOSI TO RECEIVE FIRST GENUINE LEFT-WING CHALLENGE IN 30 YEARS quote:Buttar represents a unique, if unlikely challenge to Pelosi, the most powerful elected Democrat in the country and 33-year incumbent for San Francisco’s congressional seat. On Tuesday, Pelosi took 72.5 percent of the vote in California’s 12th Congressional District. Under the state’s unique primary system — where the top-two vote-getters in the primary make it to the general election, even if they belong to the same party — Buttar’s 12.7 percent was enough to get him on the November ballot. I'm using my stimulus check to give him a recurring donation.

Sadly, I don't think voting for Shahid is the right choice for where to put resources. Nancy Pelosi isn't vulnerable enough for an insurgent candidate to take her seat. It loving sucks, but that's the raw truth of it. We are the stage of the cycle where we start putting our resources into Candidates that have a chance. I loving hate that this is how it is, but when you are trying to change the electoral makeup of a party, ya gotta make hard calls on where your resources go. I edited out some of the ones I really don't think have a shot from the list. From the GOONPAC Thread: Ok Comboomer posted:
I would add Nabilah Islam to that list too. Running for GA- 07 district and has a decent chance of flipping it because the district went to Stacey Abrams and the Democratic Party lost by 433 votes in 2018.

I really can't stress enough that Jess's race absolutely is winnable, and is probably the single biggest payoff for your time and money in 2020. It's the loving Senate, and Delaware's turnout is very small. It's just 60,000 votes. Also, Jess is literally holding a Something Awful townhall for people to learn more: April 30th at 9 PM EDT: The Jess Scarane Something Awful Town Hall Sign up here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/the-c-spamsomething-awful-town-hall-with-jess?source=direct_link& This will be a Q&A and digital town hall for goons only. Ask Jess whatever you want.  May 2nd at 6 PM EDT: Jess Scarane & Staff Present: A Tabletop RPG Stream Sign up here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/jess-scarane-staff-present-a-tabletop-rpg-stream?source=direct_link& This is literally going to be us playing a tabletop RPG for the first time ever, with an experienced dungeon master. Donations will be encouraged... and might result in game changing effects.

Thank you for posting the list from the GOONPAC thread. I didn't realize Susan fuckingpieceofshit Collins is up for reelection.
