Democrats Must Mobilize in Primaries to Build a Fighting Party

Disappointment over recent political capitulation demands action: Engage in primaries now to select fighters who will challenge the status quo and secure democracy's future.

Short Summary

  • Prioritize primary races in safe districts to select candidates ready to actively fight the current regime.
  • Senate Democrats surrendered the 40-day government shutdown fight without achieving key stated goals, alienating significant portions of the base.
  • Voters must actively demand internal party change rather than waiting for large national organizations or big donors to provide reform.
  • The core strategic split within the party is now defined as whether leaders view the current era as a crisis demanding sacrifice ("fighter") or not ("folder").

This conversation with Ezra Levin of Indivisible analyzes the fallout from Senate Democrats caving during a 40-day shutdown, despite overwhelming public support for holding firm on ACA subsidies. The core thesis is that reactive disappointment must transform into proactive organization, focusing energy on 10–20 critical primaries to shift the party's overall orientation from status quo maintenance to aggressive opposition.

Description

Watching Democrats capitulate on the government shutdown without getting anything in return was a real kick to the face to everyone who thought we might finally have an opposition up for the fight. As Indivisible’s Ezra Levin reminds us, once we move past anger this can be a real opportunity. If we want the Democratic party to be better, it’s up to all of us to do the work to change it, to challenge the status quo, and to build a fighting machine strong enough to take on this regime. With that in mind, we need to care about primaries so we can choose leaders who are truly ready to meet the moment. Will we continue to lose our country to support the establishment, or are we ready to support fighters who might arrive from the outside? This is an inflection point. We need a party that can not only win elections, but leaders who will shake things up once they get there.

I want new blood too. But I still want people to have experience. It’d seem to implement change they’ll have to understand the reality of current to be able to navigate and replace.

Good! I want more like AOC , Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico, Bernie Sanders etc. I want those who will push for healthcare for all! I also won’t vote for anyone you gets money from AIPAC. Time to get big donors out of politics!! I want politicians who answer to us voters and work for us! Not big donors
