Honestly, I think voting for them isn't even enough. We have to promote them. We have to outwardly support them and not talk shit about them online or in public, or else they will lose to a Republican and we'll be all that much worse off.
I mean, I get that you're saying we need more solidarity, and we do, but this isn't how. We absolutely have to throw away the current batch of current Dem reps and leadership and then elect new people to those seats and get behind THOSE people.
The DNC and old-guard establishment does NOT have our back, in most cases they have the exact same donors as the right. They have no intention of doing anything to help us.
It was suspicious how many accounts claiming to be left-leaning all of a sudden in like, July 2024 decided to suddenly buy the lies the GOP had been selling for years that Biden was old and senile just because he has a stutter.
The DNC does need to have better primaries though. Which means people PARTICIPATING in them. But also not allowing people like Bloomberg to buy their way in. To actually HOLD primaries like they didn't for Biden's incumbent campaign.
I mean, depends on your definition of "talking shit" is. If you would describe what I said as "talking sbit" I think that makes the party way too inwardly focused, and almost "cult of personality" like we see from the republicans.
The good thing about the democratic party is the wide tent and diversity of strategies. We need to be more transparent and proove ourselves since we dont (alway) have millionaire and billionaire funding.
I would not slander Democrats and still encourage voting, but to take a different stance, I cant exactly enourage Palestinians to vote for a candidate that actively promoted the genocide of their people. So its tricky, and open primaries and diqlog really clarify all that.

If they could do it then you can, too.
What do you even mean? I did vote. And just because someone feels ok voting foe someone doesnt mean others do. Are you saying all muslims are the same? Wow.
Edit to be clear, I went out and knocked doors for that election too (2024), but I refused to campaign explicitely for the higher ups, and focused on local candidates I actually believed in. This drives interest up the ticket.
