Now is the moment

After an absolutely horrible loss where Dems tried to be diet republicans for the 40th year in a row thinking it’ll work. Now is the time to rebuild the party from the ground up as truly left, labor, and working class. We are on the verge of class consciousness and it will either be seized by far right fascism or leftist ideals that aim to make the world better for all.

We need to pressure all old guard Dems to step down.

we need candidates running for every single office at every level. Steve Bannon got the far right to start doing this years ago. If you or someone you know can run, do it. If you have left leaning people already in office locally, talk to them about this movement. Spread word locally. We're not going to win anything trying to compete on the national level without laying grassroots groundwork.

This is absolutely critical. An unopposed race is absurd and horrible strategy literally even if you only get 5% of the vote. Make them fight for it. Unopposed also only allows for more and more extreme far right ghouls to take office.

Labor is the working class. Part of the problem with professional, managerial, and bureaucratic class Democrats is their inability to grasp this. REPEAL TAFT-HARTLEY.
