Yes please!
Legal Eagle put out an excellent video on the subject of we need to pursue every avenue, every method of gathering and publishing information showing what this regime did, will do, so it is at least a matter of public record. So that if the Dems gain more control over politics in 2029 that they can be persecuted and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Not doing so will just lead us back here again and again and again.
The Dems won because people rejected Trump. Not because people are happy with the DNC. The DNC was actually more unpopular as a whole than the GOP. Progressives crushed it, even in places where they shouldn't have. Plus with the Michigan lady betrayal, it shows that AIPAC money takes precedent over US needs....again. anyone taking AIPAC money should not be in a leadership role as they don't value Americans first.
Us dwarves up in the far North have a saying: forge while the iron is hot. Now is the time to send useless idiots into retirement, and criminals into the slammer.
And that present leadership is willing to make everything that happened water under the bridge essentially, the DNC is going to have a reckoning these next two years.
This is the time to reach out to these new or revalidated officials and tell them this is the time to take power back.
I've sent emails to my new senator and house rep, but things like 5calls.org are probably useful too. The calls require (people like me) to be a little more prepared with what we want to talk about, but the time is NOW. Also set a reminder for 1/21 and remind them this was, in fact, a mandate to make things different.
If you've been disappointed with milquetoast dems... call them right now. Email them at the least.
Drown them in the proof that we demand accountability for the current regime and progress on the issues that we all want.
My state didn't flip at all so I've no one to really call. I can just promote others do so with their elected officials because let's be honest, the Repubs will not change.

Get these losers out, for sure. Bring in the new era of progressives, leave the DINOs in the past.
Schumer lost everything while doing nothing except making a big fuss before losing. GTFO.
Dont just replace, prosecute. The Leahy laws are very clear about us not supporting regimes engaged in genocide and these chucklefucks did it anyway. They are criminal conspirators and belong in prison for abetting mass murder.
They do need to go. Their goal is status quo and treading water.
I agree with some of the new folks who feel like impeachment shouldn't be the goal. It's too limited. Accountability and legislation need to be the goals. Impeachment is a subset of that. So is going on a press tour rager when legislation is blocked or vetoed.
Democrats need to wake up and bring the Republicans to bear and fight for the people who elected them. Treading water and whining about Ted Cruz reading Cat in the Hat don't get us there. Make him stand there until he dies of dehydration. Tear them down in a public forum. Do something.
Democrats need new leadership, not just new faces playing the same political games. No more political theater.
Put AOC in charge
AOC in senate with Omar as speaker.
Primaries for 2028 will be super important. We will need to primary Dems that don't step up and prosecute.
same as in 2016.
DNC leadership dictates to the plebs, not the other way around, just ask Bernie.
