“I’m not interested in anyone who is moving further away from the center,” said Cindy Bass, a Pennsylvania committee member from Philadelphia. “The center is where we have to be.”
They’re not going to change a thing unless people make them.
Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you feel a centrist is only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee
Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can’t do it alone.
Does the article tell us how to cast a vote? I skimmed it and couldn’t find a link to where I could at least send an email.
It’s not voted on directly, you are going to want to talk to your state’s party chair to try to convince them vote on the type of chair like you would a congress person on a vote for something. In the body of the post, you can find how to find your state’s party chair
Here’s the table copied over:
Texas’ Hinojosa, when asked about Democrats’ willingness to stand for trans rights, said the only part out loud: “I think what the Democratic Party has to realize is that there’s some things that we can support and some things that we cannot. And when we’re pressed upon to take votes of these kinds that we need to be cognizant of the long term consequences of these kinds of votes.”
He has since announced that he will be resigning effective March 2025, which is after the party elects a new chair. He has no incentive to listen. Not that he ever did. At least he’s leaving. Good fucking riddance. It’s a shame it didn’t happen years ago, but he will not stand with trans people, and he absolutely will not move to the left under any circumstances.
I’m still going to do my bit and contact his office, but I harbor no illusions about him. What other avenues do Texans have?
Can’t find a way to contact CA guy, only a way to give him $
chair@cadem.org or also rusty@cadem.org seemed to be listed on various California Democratic Party documents for him
If anyone else is having any issues finding the contact emails, reply to me with a state and I can try to help you find it!
It’s not like that boat will be tallied or even looked at, If you don’t have millions of bucks to give them, you don’t have a voice in government.
