A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“You can’t run a Zohran Mamdani in every district in America, but you can run a Zohran Mamdani–style campaign almost everywhere. These are the lessons centrist Democrats in purple areas could stand to learn. Both the electorate and the media environment are changing quickly, and Democrats need to adapt to a new way of doing business.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProgressivePolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProgressivePolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mamdani4Mayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mamdani4Mayor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElectionLessons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectionLessons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsFightBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsFightBack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsAdapt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsAdapt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FightFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FightFascism</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/197247/mamdani-versus-establishment-democrats-cuomo" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newrepublic.com/article/197247</span><span class="invisible">/mamdani-versus-establishment-democrats-cuomo</span></a></p>
#TuckFrump<p>Pritzker and Newsom are showing Democrats how to fight back—calling out extremism, defending rights, and refusing to stay silent. This is leadership.

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“The administration’s attempt to ignore the laws the Constitution charges it with executing amounts to an attack on the right of the American people to establish the rules under which we live.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsAuthoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsAuthoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USConstitutionalOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USConstitutionalOrder</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FightTrumpism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FightTrumpism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsOligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsOligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyUnderThreat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyUnderThreat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsFightBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsFightBack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyMatters</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsDictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsDictatorship</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LettersFromAnAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LettersFromAnAmerican</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-19-2025" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">heathercoxrichardson.substack.</span><span class="invisible">com/p/march-19-2025</span></a></p>
A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“Without the luxury of Republicans falling apart, Democrats in the Senate need to decide whether to prevent a dangerous and harmful budget that shrinks the power of Congress in the government. Since operating on principle goes against their ‘adults in the room’ mindset, they are wavering on what to do. But it should be an open-and-shut case.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PowerOfThePurse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PowerOfThePurse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USCongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USCongress</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsFightBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsFightBack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsAuthoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsAuthoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FightTrumpism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FightTrumpism</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://prospect.org/politics/2025-03-11-senate-democrats-block-republican-spending-bill-or-dissolve-congress/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">prospect.org/politics/2025-03-</span><span class="invisible">11-senate-democrats-block-republican-spending-bill-or-dissolve-congress/</span></a></p>
A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“This is the paradox at the heart of the situation the party finds itself in: Democrats want the high voter turnout, committed pavement-pounding, and grassroots energy of an excited base but seem to resent that they should have to do anything to get it.” 😕</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocraticBaseAwakened" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticBaseAwakened</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsFearTheirBase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsFearTheirBase</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FightTrumpism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FightTrumpism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PrimaryCentrists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrimaryCentrists</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsFightBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsFightBack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyMatters</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElectionsMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ElectionsMatter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocraticBase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticBase</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsAuthoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsAuthoritarianism</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://jacobin.com/2025/03/democratic-party-trump-resistance-leadership/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jacobin.com/2025/03/democratic</span><span class="invisible">-party-trump-resistance-leadership/</span></a></p>
A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“We need to lose the theory that these Dems are ‘spineless’ and just don’t understand how to wage political war. ... It’s not that they cannot—they *will* not. When it was Sanders or an individual who demanded even a modest change in policy on Gaza, they brought out the knives. When it’s Musk and his apartheid army of incels, they wield sporks. Yet, as we keep seeing, spork fighting is demoralizing.“</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocratsFightBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocratsFightBack</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsOligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsOligarchy</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/democratic-party-fecklessness/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/politics</span><span class="invisible">/democratic-party-fecklessness/</span></a></p>
