Do the work. Perform, don't be performative. Stop trying to fix cultural problems with politicians.

A new poll finds 1 in 4 young Black men in key states are not committed to voting in the 2026 elections, raising new questions about outreach, trust and political engagement.

It’s funny to imagine traveling back in time to the Soviet Union in 1976 and telling them that in the future the signature ideas of socialism would be that there shouldn’t be police and that schools should promote joy rather than have kids take tests.

@micah_erfan @KatrinaWTE Which is what he has been doing since 2024 - trying to get a party message collected and back on track.

@TheStefanSmith Unfortunately, most humans, younger ones in particular, are not good at understanding the sheer scale and numbers we have here. The difficulty to do so is also compounded by demographics being as skewed as they are in geography and beltway media influence.
English
@TheStefanSmith I agree w/ you, and the "honest" part is key; we lost trust up and down the age spectrum.
But how do they perceive "real"? Cause I can look at her words and also interpret as "people who don't want to read or have no innate empathetic desire to be informed...want "real"."
English
The Party is run by elite, college educated folks who do not believe something is real or legitimate unless there is a report. Documentation, and reverence for text and legibility, is one of the hallmarks of the class.

To be quite frank no young voters I know care about a DNC autopsy. They just want Dems to be honest and real.

@SER1897 For sure. He probably saved us some seats but what a knucklehead.
English
Well, yes, Harris clearly chose Walz because he wasn't ambitious and she didn't think he'd outshine her, and he certainly delivered in that area.
Betsey4Democracy #TeamPete🐝⚾️🌼🇺🇸🏈@newenhuyse
@SER1897 She wanted to choose Pete. Ultimately I think he dodged a bullet, but he COULD have made up for her deficiencies as a communicator. He also would have outshone her in many ways.
English
I was actually done with Harris when she explained why she didn't choose Shapiro -- instead going for Walz but then wouldn't accept the consequence of this choice (Walz bombed his debate with Vance). She wanted an unambitious, not impressive VP who was also a shark.

@Zutao12 1) Biden seems like a good man.
2) Biden at any level of success or competence is preferable to Trump.
3) Biden failed to deliver what the average voter wanted.
4) Biden wasn’t up to running a campaign—or the country for four more years.
All of these things can be true. And are.
English
I have plenty of criticisms of Joe Biden, but he clearly seems like a really good and decent human being. I’d have taken him at his least successful point over Trump any day of the week.
Andrew Weinstein@Weinsteinlaw
Joe Biden literally wrote a memo telling staff that he’d be disappointed in them if they missed family milestones because of work.

React however you want to this, but at least take something useful away from it.
Mexico had no problem electing a woman President.
Because of economics.
The Lincoln Project@ProjectLincoln
The Democrats recent autopsy report just told us exactly how toothless they were in the fight against Trump. It's time to rethink their tactics before November.

@MeghanMcCain He's a senator so by definition, you are ignorant
English
You have been in office since I was 17 years old. Your career is nothing more than failed impeachments. The day you leave office everyone will immediately forget you ever existed.
You inspire no one. Stand for nothing - and have no influence outside of the msnow greenroom.

My thoughts go out to Tulsi Gabbard and her family, as her husband battles this serious health problem. I hope and pray that he makes a speedy and full recovery. While the circumstances around her departure are deserving of our sympathy, let’s be clear: Tulsi Gabbard’s only positive contribution to our nation's national security is her resignation. She politicized intelligence. She dismantled critical agencies keeping Americans safe. She weaponized the IC to pursue baseless election fraud claims. And more. We must ensure that her tenure — marked by a devotion to the person of the president and not to the security of the country — represents a terrible exception at DNI and not the new normal.

@speechboy71 One of the nations that picked that tend shares a border with us. We're better served noticing what they did differently.
English
Here's your DNC Autopsy on 2024:
"Every incumbent party in the world lost voter share in 2024. That includes the Democratic Party."
And scene ...
English
@speechboy71 Anti-incumbency didn't win everywhere. E.g., Croatia, Hungary, Spain, Greece, and ... Mexico. They had a clear leadership transition strategy for starters, we had a rocky one. Economic policies worked too.

@FishBanc Do you mean Canada? Because that election was in 2025 and it was a backlash to Trump

It's going to keep happening, guys. There will always be a Democratic demon of the day. You get rid of Martin, it's gonna be someone else. Because it's pathological. The rage & negativity--so expertly fomented by the algorithms & the podcasts--will always need a Democratic target

@sephius1999 @KamalaHarris Please don’t choose any of them. And go on black talk radio like Urban View on
SiriusXM. Because those are the voters we need to reach. The base that sat home. Every election is a base election.

Tulsi Gabbard has submitted her resignation as U.S. Director of National Intelligence, according to early reporting by Fox News.

Crude inventories fell by a record 17.8M barrels last week, including a 9.9M barrel draw from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Thru May 20, the US has pulled about 50M barrels from the SPR.

And the GOP is sated by eating us.
Magdi Jacobs@magi_jay
Democrats have had a reputation as a circling-firing-squad for decades. However, in the online/podcast era-- where rage & negativity win the day & also line the pockets--this behavior is becoming pathological. It's an addiction. Like we must be SATED by eating our own.
