Maya Rupert: Let Democrats Be Democrats
Why the Democratic Party Needs its Activist Base More than Ever

“There is a myth that a significant number of moderate voters only vote Republican out of desperation, and if Democrats stood for *less*, we’d get those votes. But there’s no proof for this theory.” - my thoughts on what Dems need to do next.

Good morning to the dreamers. Good morning to those who see hate and choose love. Good morning to those who want to end poverty. Good morning to those who want to change the status quo instead of capitulating to it.
There is great work for us to do together. Let’s tie up our shoes and get to it.

Absolutely no shade to Talarico or any of the other (men) Dem leaders going on these podcasts and clearly and impressively speaking outside of a left wing bubble. But we are going to end up in bad shape if the manosphere becomes the kingmakers of the left.
Meet James Talarico, the Texas Democrat that Joe Rogan says should run for President.

To every New Yorker who listened to these racist smears and thought “she doesn’t represent me” and decided in that moment to run for office - whether local office or to unseat Gillibrand in 2030 - I cannot wait to meet you.
Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign.
I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist.
He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

I have low expectations for @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, and even I was shocked by the naked Islamophobia that she was engaging in, including falsely accusing him of "global jihad".
I called her office and told them that this behavior is unacceptable from a sitting senator

I admit I was very confused about the reasoning behind the trade, but as a Lakers fan, the only thing that could make me happier about Luka coming to LA is if Chick Hearn were still around to consistently mispronounce his name. #LakeShow

It’s easier to blame activists, but far more powerful forces have led Democrats to neglect the real crises facing Americans.

Who wants to run to send Nancy Mace home so she doesn’t have to worry about the restrooms at the Capitol?
This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.
