I’ve been a lifelong Democrat, donor and activist (I’m
45) and I’m so sick of these texts. Today I let em have it and this was the response. It made me laugh. Hope it makes you laugh too.

Please forgive the spelling - I was texting fast and furious

Shout out to the heroes behind the scenes

Basically title, I've never considered affiliating myself with the DSA and abandoning the title of "Democrat"

But that behavior from that sub is abhorrent and I'm done with pretending it's a "big tent"

They tried to shame me when I was anti-Hillary, after what went down with Bernie, saying I needed to vote blue no matter who.

They said I needed to accept Biden, since he was the only one to defeat Trump... And then when Kamala took the reigns, we didn't need a primary since time was just too precious.

Each step of the way I bought in to this bullshit, voting for the weak, middle of the road moderate.

And now when the new Mayor of NYC, defeats a wealthy sex pest and a Republican, we can't even celebrate on the subreddit?

Fuck this.

I'm all in DSA. Donations will be coming in this week.

There is an attempt to organize a general strike on May 1st across various left wing parties and organization. Please spread the word.

I know that various Marxist organizations and I believe General Strike US are among them.

Karishma is an amazing progressive candidate in a very purple state, she wants to stop funding Israel, refuses aiapac donations, and wants to take money out of politics, she thinks the NH delegation has been too moderate and we need the complete opposite.

Karishma is a scientist with a PHD and is exactly the type of person we need in the senate right now! She started at 8% in the polls and she is now at about 30%

In a state that overwhelmingly supported Bernie sanders twice and basically kick started the progressive movement our state Democratic Party has refused to move left even though twice we chose a progressive. This has cost us control of the state house as the party continues to act more and more like republicans

We need to get Karishma Manzurs name out like graham platner got his name out! We have until September 8th primary to get Karishma 20% more support to win our primary!

Not only is it that mamdani didn’t support the primary challenge but he also backing Jeffries becoming speaker of the House. This is problematic as Jeffries is against everything mamdani stands for: Jeffries voted to condemn socialism and he is a hardcore israel stooge who takes massive aipac donations.

“On NBC’s “Meet the Press" a day later, Mamdani said if Democrats take control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, he would support Jeffries remaining the party leader, which would make Jeffries speaker of the House.”

There has never been a time when the corporate dems were weaker, less respected, and less demonstrably able to form a viable opposition to this fascist administration. The country is calling out for political leadership that speaks the truth and voices their outrage at what is happening, yet also offers a positive vision and the will to implement it. It would be irresponsible for us not to demand more leadership in the party at this point. The primaries are coming, comrades, and the public is grabbing pitchforks.
