2. Thank goodness!!! The NV Democratic Party, disastrously derailed by DSA socialists

who managed to take over leadership, is back on track. Even the national and Las Vegas DSA chose not to support Whitmer's reelection after the predicted disasters that followed, including loss of the incumbent Democratic governor and lieutenant governor seats.

Thank you to them.

Here's an article quoting from Dissent Magazine's (founded by democratic socialists and sympathetic to that, as well as other far-left illiberal ideologies) explanation of what's been happening in NV:

Socialists Took Over This State’s Democratic Party. Now They’re Bailing.

14. "To participate in lawmaking ... bring bills to the floor, socialist members have to ... compromise"

( and incrementalism ) to "pass things that materially improve their constituents' lives, even if they fall far short of revolutionary reforms." MILQUETOAST!

They'd be much happier as activists, have no responsibility for establishment improvements for constituents' lives that don't pass the populist purity tests.

16. Yes, as you say. :) Wanting to blow up representative government

because its results must be acceptable to many involves extremely different temperaments from those committed to making representative government work.

None of those statements suggest they're willing, or able, to understand the real reasons they failed, much less predict for themselves that they would even though this time they'd managed to take over the bosses' offices.

On to 2024.

Should have had them already launched last fall, but just just another lesson not learned.

"It’s time for our State Party to get back to basics and to reunite our Democratic family. That means raising the resources to be successful, restoring trust with our grassroots members and local elected leaders, and serious year-round organizing in every corner of the state." ~ #DanieleMonroeMoreno

Whoa baby. grand slam!


Monroe-Moreno is the first Black woman to serve as chair of the state party. A retired corrections officer, Monroe-Moreno was first elected to the Nevada Assembly in 2016 and represents North Las Vegas.

Monroe-Moreno announced her bid for chair in early February alongside other Democratic candidates, who ran together in a slate dubbed the “Democratic Unity Slate.”

Unity is what Nevada needs.

Brava! Great win!

13. Stop trying to make the socialist "transformation" of the Democratic Party happen.
Sun Mar 5, 2023, 12:41 AM
Mar 2023

Leadership and legislation requires compromise, incrementalism, co-operation, all the bad bad bad "establishment" things. Like being parents or pet owners or having a job or deciding what kind of music to play on a road trip.

Americans are not secret socialists waiting for a class revolution. Can everyone finally agree on this now? IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
