8. It needs input from unwashed Democrats
Fri May 8, 2026, 12:29 PM
Yesterday

Look how Indivisible has organized millions of people by getting out into the heartland, by getting ordinary Democrats to mobilize and organize at grass roots levels.

Make a donation to or join Indivisible, we the people are going to have to save ourselves, it is up to us to throw out the billionaire traitors.

Doing polls and pumping money at the election is not enough, Democrats need a platform to run on, say we are going to try to expand the Supreme Court, say you are going to try to fight Citizens United and get big money out of politics. Make republicans defend money in politics.

Nominate a non-politician for president in 2028, a person who unites both progressives and moderates.

I like Miles Taylor, he speaks with fire and Malcolm Nance for VP. Someone like Sally Yeats.

Democrats need to start thinking outside the box, times have changed. We need a president who will nominate the best person as AG to hold Magats accountable. If he/she can't get confirmed make him/her acting AG.

We cannot just move on.
