PRIMARYING SURVEY 4.22 

4,112 surveyed

There is the overwhelming frustration that the Democratic establishment is failing to build a True Opposition that will STAND UP and DEFEAT Trump, and Bernie isn’t mincing his words about Establishment Democrats:

“If we waited on them to defeat Trumpism and move our country forward, we’d be waiting forever. So it is up to us.”

Last week David Hogg, a DNC vice chair, announced that his PAC, Leaders We Deserve, is launching a $20 million campaign that will include supporting younger, progressive candidates to run in primaries against incumbent Democrats.

It’s a bold initiative, and we wanted to understand how our movement feels about primarying Democratic incumbents who lack the grassroots support and fighting spirit needed to defeat Trump.

We surveyed more than 4,000 politically active progressives and Democrat-leaning voters:

  • 87% say the Dem party lost its way — up from 76% in our post-presidential election poll.
  • 92% say Our Revolution should support primary challenges to establishment Democrats who are not generating grassroots energy.
  • 88% say the DSCC/DCCC should stop automatically supporting incumbents.
  • 70% are not confident that the Democratic Party will do what’s necessary to fight back against Trump’s disastrous policies.
  • 96% think Our Revolution should continue to work to Transform the Democratic Party by electing progressives at every level of the party structure.
  • 82% say Democrats should stop accepting Big Money donations from billionaires and corporations to fund its electoral activities.
  • Respondents are most worried about Trump creating a Constitutional crisis by overriding judicial orders and efforts to slash critical programs like Medicaid and Social Security.

COMMENTARY:

“I want to hear from the leaders every day in opposition to the Trump agenda.”

“Quit being wimps”

“I am tired of the same old playbook; we need grassroot action and respect for the average person.”

“Chuck Schumer needs to be replaced as leader”

“Some of the weakest people I have ever seen. If they won’t fight they need to move aside for someone who will.”

“Schumer and Jeffries need to step aside.”

“They need a wake up call and listen to what America is concerned with. Not just what they think America is concerned with!”

“Democrats unwilling to do what’s necessary to fight back need to be replaced by those who will.”

“Disappointment is the only thing I can say without resorting to four letter words.”

“We’re running out of time.”

A recent poll confirms that the vast majority of Democrats agree with Bernie—72% support abandoning a cautious, centrist approach when confronting Trump and his far-right allies.

If we’re going to meet the urgency of Trump’s renewed threat, we cannot sit back and wait for the Democratic Party establishment to get serious about building the kind of inclusive, energized movement our moment demands: we have no choice but to transform the Democratic Party from within.

A MESSAGE TO TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT

Trumps Tax Man

By Homepage2

A MESSAGE TO TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT

The night before Tax Day, Our Revolution activists paid a visit to the Tax Man: Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

We showed up at his $20 million dollar mansion in DC and lit up a project calling to Defund Oligarchs. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Trump put a literal oligarch in charge of the IRS and he’s on a mission to deliver MASSIVE tax cuts to his fellow billionaires — paid for by us of course and cuts to programs millions of us rely on.

 

Here are just a few facts about Bessent:

Called concerns about oligarchy “class envy” during his confirmation hearing.

🙅‍ Opposes raising the federal minimum wage, claiming it would “distort markets.”

Protects power and pushes for fewer corporate regulations, giving billionaires even more unchecked influence.

Our Mission in this moment: #DefundOligarchy

MUSK SPENT $290 MILLION TO ELECT TRUMP. RETURN ON INVESTMENT? 100s OF BILLIONS.

MUSK SPENT $290 MILLION TO ELECT TRUMP. RETURN ON INVESTMENT? 100s OF BILLIONS.

Elon Musk’s $290 Million Investment in Trump Is Already Paying Off — Big Time

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Elon Musk funneled $290 million to help re-elect Trump. So far, Musk has reaped at least $117 billion in personal financial gains — a staggering return on investment of 40,300%. And he could see hundreds of billions in return from federal contracts, tax breaks, deregulation, and more from Trump.

DEFENDING THE US POSTAL SERVICE

By Homepage2

Our Revolution recently joined with the American Postal Workers Union to organize a powerful grassroots Day of Action against privatization threats and attacks on collective bargaining.  

From big cities like New York to small-towns in Iowa, thousands chanted “The U.S. Mail Is Not for Sale” and vowed to oppose plans by the Trump regime to dismantle the USPS.  

As Mark Dimondstein, President of the APWU, told Our Revolution members at a recent virtual town hall, “Privatization is a mathematical equation—shifting public money to Wall Street investors for maximum profit, not service,” Dimondstein said. 

“The administration’s corporate coup is hollowing out essential services, paving the way for billionaires to cash in while degrading workers’ rights.”

GRASSROOTS DEFEAT MUSK IN WISCONSIN

By Homepage2

GRASSROOTS DEFEAT MUSK IN WISCONSIN!

Elon Musk just got handed a major defeat in Wisconsin — and we showed the country he’s not invincible, and that when we mobilize together, we can stand up to even the wealthiest billionaire bullies.

But let’s be clear: Musk is far from defeated. 

Right now, Musk and Trump’s plans to gut the Social Security administration are starting to take effect, their attacks on NPR & PBS are at a fever pitch, and their legislation to gut Medicaid is coming to fruition.

Here’s the good news: Musk’s humiliation in Wisconsin has Republicans panicking and looking to distance themselves from his destructive DOGE agenda. 

We have a narrow, critical window to exploit this growing division to protect programs that millions of Americans count on every single day. The Our Revolution team has just decided to double down on targeting vulnerable Republicans to stop Musk & DOGE in its tracks.

Let’s not forget the havoc Musk’s DOGE agenda has already unleashed: Thousands of critical public jobs gutted from USAID and DHHS. Entire departments slashed, undermining health, education, and humanitarian efforts globally.

Musk’s defeat in Wisconsin was a resounding condemnation of his agenda. He put himself on the ballot with his vote-buying antics and million dollar check event last weekend. 

Our Mobilization Team called and texted over 60,000 supporters in Wisconsin – and we proved that when we organize we do win! And as Bernie put it, Musk’s Wisconsin setback proves something powerful: when we unite, our grassroots movement of everyday people can defeat the wealthiest person on earth.

Senate Democrats could have blocked the GOP spending bill. 

Instead, Chuck Schumer and 9 other Democratic Senators CAVED.

We asked more than 9,000 progressives what they thought:

  • 89% think Schumer should step aside as Senate Minority Leader
  • 86% think if Schumer refuses to step aside that efforts should be made to oust him from his leadership role.
  • 86% would support a primary challenger against Schumer for his Senate seat.
  • 83% would support primary challengers against all 10 senators who voted for the funding bill.
  • 96% think Kirsten Gillibrand, as head of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, should recruit better candidates willing to stand up to Trump and the Oligarchs.
  • 99% want to see Democrats fight Trump and Musk more.

From the text box (5,000+ comments):

“Schumer has been an embarrassment for years. We need an opposition party, the Democrats are anything but!”

“I’m a lifelong Democrat, but I’m so frustrated and discouraged that I’m thinking of becoming an Independent.”

“If you don’t get your shit together real fast, it’s gonna be too late.”

“I changed my voter registration to ‘None. No Party.’ The Dems need to fight harder/more viciously.”

“Wearing pink and holding a *** sign is doing nothing. FIGHT BACK. This is the battle for democracy and you think that wearing a pink sweater is going to do a damn thing?! F*** the high road. Fight dirty.”

“This is why democrats lost and will continue to lose. Listen to Bernie!”

“Betrayal.”

“Don’t let them mess with my social security.”

“Weak, unorganized, lost.”

“I am frustrated. The direction of the democratic party has been a disaster.”

“I’m angry and embarrassed.”

“The whole party has lost its way. If the Party doesn’t change it’s way it will cease to have any influence.”

“Bernie for speaker!”

“So many of them talk about how dangerous Trump and the Republicans are but are essentially complicit through their inaction or in this case action.”

“They have voted to help Trump kill us. Sickening and deeply disappointing.”

“What a bunch of weak and disgraceful representatives.”

“There’s no way to reform the party. I’ve given up.”

“Cowardice.”

“We need a viable third party. Bernie, I don’t trust you anymore. I can’t make another donation because I’m worried you’ll sell out to the Democrats again.”“I quit. Changing to Independent after being a lifelong Dem. No spine.”

“I’m in shock. Why do they do this to us?”

“Democrats are too wimpy / not listening to ordinary people.”

“I’m feeling very alienated.”

“Disgusted at the capitulation.”

“We need new leadership!!”

“My party has no backbone!”

“Appalled.”

“FIGHT BACK. THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!”

“Finished. Done. They are Republican lite. There is no party for us.”

“AOC should primary Schumer.”

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES

By Homepage2, Take Action

The House GOP, under directives from Trump, passed a budget resolution last night to slash Medicaid. It clears the way for massive tax breaks for billionaires and corporations.

Trump has made it his top legislative priority to gut Medicaid and SNAP for tens of millions of Americans. In fact, Bernie says cuts to Medicaid will be a DISASTER for nearly every single American.

This fight is FAR from over. Our Citizen Army is flooding Congressional offices with calls, and we’re fighting tooth and nail to flip the two Republicans we need in the House to prevent Americans from losing healthcare. Right now, we need our entire grassroots movement speaking to their leaders.

Will you send a message to Congress and demand that your lawmakers PROTECT Medicaid? Stop this transfer of our tax dollars fromgovernment programs to billionaire bank accounts!

PROTECT PUBLIC MEDIA

By Homepage2, Take Action

After facing one Republican assault after the next in recent years, NPR and PBS are already hanging on by a thread. And now Trump and Musk want to completely gut the most trusted, unbiased source for news out there. WIll you urgently add your name to save PBS and NPR? 

Musk has floated lots of ideas to cut spending – eliminating entire government departments and firing thousands. But one of the most concrete things on his list is slashing HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars in annual funding for PBS and NPR. 

It’s not a new threat. Republicans have been waging a war on public broadcasting for years, trying to do away with free, fact-based independent journalism that is required by law to be objective and free from corporate or political agendas.

When Trump tried to slash public media funding during his first term, millions mobilized to stop him. Trump lost that fight, but this time could be different as Republicans line up behind him and Musk pushes harder than ever for major cuts.

We’re going to be ready. 

Together, we can fight back to save NPR and PBS – and win. But it will only work if we mobilize in MASSIVE numbers, then relentlessly lobby Congress to keep public media alive. That work starts NOW – will you add your name to send a message straight to Congress? 

In this polarized environment, free and independent media is more vital than ever. And that’s exactly why Trump and his oligarch buddies have settled on PBS and NPR as targets – without this vital public service, they’ll be free to spread all the disinformation they desire.

Together, we can save one of our most important tools left to expose their lies.
