“The short-term strategy is, win the House of Representatives,” stated the former president, garnering applause. “Because that’s going to be the circuit breaker that will give us control of one major component of the federal government. With that as a bulwark, we’re now able to block some of the worst impulses that are coming out of this White House.”
The former president laid out a two-pronged strategy for Democrats: to reclaim a House majority next year, and to work on honing the party’s messaging in the coming years.
“Long term, let’s tell a story, a better story about who we are as Americans and what we share,” Obama said, according to excerpts shared with CBS News. “We have to tell the story that makes people who feel outside that process, we’ve got to bring them back in.”
aka throw more trans and marginalised people under the bus.

Because they’re totally doing great and thriving under the current regime right? I’m not disagreeing that the Democrats need to go through substantial change, but the simple fact is that they are still the better choice compared to the dumpster fire that’s going on right now.
At least there’s still time to get good candidates on the ballot, and Mamdani has shown that a truly popular progressive has a chance to get past the establishment and win, hopefully more will follow that lead.
Wtf does that have to do with anything that was said here.
because he’s basically saying stop criticizing dems who vote for republican culture wars.
I don’t think that’s what he’s saying at all… Jesus what a biased take that is.
then you better tell the 25 or so dems that helped republicans pass step 1 of the NDAA in the senate which includes the anti trans riders (which wouldn’t have passed without the dems help)

That, again, has almost nothing to do with what was said in this article.
it has literally everything to do with the article which is about dems refusing to stand for anything.
Do yourself a favor and ignore or block that person, trust me, talking to them is always a spiral and you just lose braincells.
Ah shit, thanks for the warning
Same.
My good person, have thou seenest the news this year? Democrats winning is not your great threat. And in a two party state, it’s insane to support their defeat.
We said this last year (and, coincidentally, you said this last year). And the resulting political changes have been the worst most trans and marginalized people have ever seen. Why are you doing this again.
it also doesn’t help when democrats are helping to pass a federal ban into law.
