Democrats love to blame elections losses on anyone but themselves

Justice Democrats

John,

The American people voted for Democrats in 2020 to take action and deliver — to reduce prescription drug costs, fight climate change, pass paid leave, cancel student debt, protect access to abortion, and so much more.

But they haven’t done any of it. We agree with AOC:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweet that reads 'It is actually delusional to believe Dems can get re-elected without acting on filibuster or student debt, Biden breaking his BBB promise, letting CTC lapse, 0 path to citizenship, etc  Esp when they run from convos abt race+culture (which is what 1/6 was abt)  We need to act now"

By not taking action on the filibuster or student debt, with Biden breaking his promise to deliver investments for working families, and by failing to provide a pathway to citizenship — Democrats will suffer in the midterms.

And we’ve seen this play out before. When Democrats lose elections, they blame progressives. But it’s clear that the Democratic Party has failed to meet the urgency of this moment — and the American people are taking notice.

We need change now. Our Justice Democrats in Congress and our progressive primary candidates will bring about a the change we desperately need. Will you donate $3 right now to elect progressives and transform the Democratic Party?

The vast majority of voters may know absolutely nothing about Joe Manchin, the infrastructure bill, or even Build Back Better. All they know is that Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress have failed to deliver on the policies that they campaigned on.

Establishment politicians don’t govern in the people’s interests, but then are surprised when they lose elections.

For months, corporate lobbyists called the shots and fought to remove progressive priorities in the reconciliation bill, strike down provisions for climate action, and water down spending for necessary and popular programs. But, when Democrats lose elections — as they did in Virginia — they blame progressives instead of their own inaction.

AOC, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, and our Justice Democrats’ primary candidates are the future of the Democratic Party. Give right now, whatever you can, to help us elect more progressive champions to fight alongside the Squad.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
