I thought the DNC was salvageable when they elected David Hogg. the DNC proved me wrong. We need active people with ideas to improve everyone's life and get rid of all the do nothings that are afraid they're going to lose their paychecks

ForwardBlue needs to understand what keeps Trumpublica perpetually in contention. The problem started 50 years ago and was amplified through Koch network shenanigans, and more recently, Citizens United, CambridgeAnalytica, and subversion of the Supine Court into brazen disregard for the virtues of democracy enshrined in the Constitution. The Weaponization of Delusion is the problem; what remains of democracy is questionable. Project 2025 and it's recent 0BBBA realization in conjunction with the Epstein 'affair' brings us to the Trump rejecting his own voters, despite being smart enough to delay some of the devastating impact 0BBBA until after the 2026 election. He should also delay resolution of the Epstein 'affair' until 2027, but he was not smart enough and his voters were too impatient. It seems they are only in it for the fun.

My main problem with Actblue and other voting organizations is the constant request for money with no intended usagev out results data. The petition requests super piss me off because I've never seen a single report where petitions were given credit for resolving an issue. The constant fake pleas from famous folks that you know didn't write them tíck me off too. Finally, if I reply with a question or comment instead I of using the link, I expect a response. Moveon is the only organization that has replied.

In the May/June 2025 Capitol Hill Citizen (capitolhillcitizen.com) we find one telling headline among many: "Election 2024: It Was Gaza, Stupid." Using related logic, it's also apparent that the Dems have long been blind to the growing presence of Dem Socialists in their midst. Had they included such people in direct dialogue, things might have turned out very differently.
