    Well that was an uninspiring read.

    At several sessions, a leader of the donation portal ActBlue shared a “fight song” that the party could adopt, putting its lyrics on screens so that the crowds could sing along.

    D-E-M-S, we rise!
    Stronger together — blue skies!
    Lift your voice, we’re bold and true,
    Onward, Democrats — We shine blue!

    So what I’m taking away from that is they stand for aviation? and being loud, shiny and blue? Checks out.

      That’s what we were missing… a fight song! Not sound policy or a consistent commitment to middle class values or putting corporate leaders on notice, but the most generic song that probably came out of an AI chat bot and says essentially nothing about what your values are. 👏👏👏

        There is value in a rallying cry. Your favorite sports teams often have one. If you watch college sports, they usually have a fight song, and people even know/enjoy them. Something gutteral to energize the base, and gather them together.

        This isn’t one of those.

          Hilarious that you (and the dems) think that everyone is as easily manipulated into a cult mentality as sports fans are. Maybe the dems should try doing the wave at their tallys too? Or bring out cheerleaders?

      This sounds like a bunch of out of touch middle aged dorks trying to convince the youth they’re still cool.

      Actblue is in my spam mailbox everyother day begging for money to support this dreck…

        It’s strongly reminiscent of the kind of crap you see when companies try to create a corporate culture. The result is almost inevitably simultaneously cultish and depressing.

          I’d much rather than spend time talking about what we’re going to do for us as a country… Forget being strong start countering the God damn Nazis man it’s not that hard…

      That vote is lost.

      The Teamsters supported Trump 58 to Harris’s 31 after Biden withdrew (who was 44.3 to 36.3)

      You know what the real difference was between them, and it wasn’t Biden’s mediocre union support.

        Let’s go back to 90s with free trade agreements, EFCA miss under Obama, PRO act not going anywhere, declining union membership, oligarchy levels of inequality… like any politician worth listening to should be able to figure this out.

        If you still want to paint people who work at a company like Ford, seeing what Trump has done with tariffs and calling their vote anything other than a desired union policy outcome. I am not sure what to say.
