Wanna replace em? Cool. But ya gotta vote. Mamdani proved that we can change things when we show up at the polls. But you gotta show tf up, and make sure everybody else does too. No more "it doesn't count anyway" bs, and no more infighting. Bc that's how they keep winning.

But most importantly, get involved with more than your keyboard on social media. Run for something. Find the people who are willing to run, work to get them elected. From your local school board to the White House, organize and vote in every single election, if that's all you can do.

We all want to see change, but who among us is willing to be the next Mamdani or AOC and make the damn thing happen? Stand up, run for office. If you can't run for federal, run for state or local. Get involved with campaigns.

That being said, all of the posturing, all the grandstanding, all the suffering was essentially for nothing. And it's understandable to be upset. But make no mistake, this is how the Dem old guard has always been. Which is why we need more progressives, not to throw our hands up and give up.

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

If you’re under a certain age, Run For Something can help with that (they might also have info or links you can check if you’re over their age limit)

Huh, lots of angry people, some with security clearances and lots of knowledge valuable to foreign adversaries, suddenly facing mortgage payments and hungry kids, with no jobs, limited prospects and a feeling that their nation just betrayed them.

That won’t end badly, will it?

Thank you!
