I understand the role of that the protests are playing but what is our actual plan? Are we aiming for flipping the house in 2026? Are we trying to target the non-MAGA Republicans and pushing them to impeace?
Haven’t heard a clearly articulate plan from organizers or elected Dems and it is starting to really concern me. I get we’re all angry and we’re building coalitions but, I think we also need more action items and a plan.

I’ve been advocating for people to vote out centrists in the midterm primaries. We only see ~20% attendance in congressional midterms, even less in primaries. A big push of progressives could really make a difference, and it protects us from accidentally flipping a seat red over a split vote on the left.
We currently have 75 progressives in the House, and just Bernie in the Senate: https://progressives.house.gov/
It’s important to know if you live in one of the 30 partisan primary states. If so, you must register as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. It was a contributing factor in Bernie’s 2016 loss.
