Run Democrats who would vote to impeach and remove Donald Trump from office. Senate and House.
Run Democrats who won’t blink when they’re winning.
Run Democrats who actually excite young people for a fucking change. Not ones you have to fall back on “but Trump!” in the general.
Make it count.

When it comes to billionaires, we gotta make it hurt.
When it comes to fascists, we gotta purge ‘em from all levels of government.
When it comes to Big Tech and other industries plagued by monopolies, we gotta get Biblical with antitrust.
When it comes to the SCOTUS, we gotta pack it.

If you like the current trajectory of the country, look to the center. It’s likely any Dem will win this year.
But business as usual has failed.
This moment needs big swings:
- Massive taxes on the rich
- Antitrust overhaul
- Anti-corruption probes
- Medicare-for-all
- Voting rights overhaul

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵
