“They want us to spend money, and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking. … The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?”

    Yup.

    I have replied to every single fundraising email (that isn’t a blatant noreply address) asking them to tell me what their plans actually are other than “Wait for 2026 and flip a few seats, maybe”. Have yet to get a response. And all my representatives basically just say they have a tweet where they summarized a cnn article or that they are unable to comment at this time.

    Donate to the Democrats who are ACTUALLY trying to lead the country (AOC being an obvious choice. Yes, her first priority is her district in NYC but she is kicking ass on a nation wide scale), if only to make it clear that people ARE willing to fund Democrats who give a shit.

    And, considerably more importantly, donate to the ACLU and the other orgs fighting the good fight. Same with LGBTQ+ charities. I am not aware of any funds dedicated to helping fired federal workers but that would also be a good cause.
