What is the most effective way to let the DNC know that I hate them?

Support candidates they hate, like Zohran Mamdani, Kat Abughazaleh, AOC, etc. Start changing them from the ground up.

It's a long process, and we might not have time to pull it off at this point. But I don't see a better option short of straight up revolution.

Vote for progressives in your state and local Democratic primaries.

And I would add: Don't give squat to the Democratic Party.

Give to Leaders we Deserve. Then send a copy of your receipt (with anything they could use to spam you redacted) to the DNC explaining that you give to causes you believe in. Let them know that the absence of a check in the same envelope is not an oversight.

You know what Democrat politicians hate? Progressive politicians.

What they really hate is people who vote for those progressive politicians.

gop pretty much dominate those areas that DEMS dont vote in.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Seems rather intuitive, no?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There is nothing they won't interpret as evidence that they're not far enough to the right.

That. I can't believe that their takeaway from 2024 was that they didn't throw the left under the bus enough. Harris ran exactly the campaign that the DNC donors wanted, and we see the fucking results.

Politically they get what they want. Trump will take the blame for tax cuts and anti immigration policies they couldnt pass without alienating too many voters. Then next election they expect to have people crawl back. Ratchet and repeat.

Seems like the flaw in their plan is assuming there will be a next election.

People are going to hate this, but if you keep voting for them at the end of the day, they have no reason to change. Simple as.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Voting third-party.

Be disengaged. Why do you think we have Trump?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Because the democratic party represents three people: netanyahu and two cheneys.

Good news, they're going to represent a fourth soon: elon the nazi.
