A friendly reminder that @nydems started losing its base well before the “Biden issue.” The party has repeatedly failed to strengthen its base of give NYers something to believe in, to fight for. And when Hochul had the chance to change it (by replacing Jay Jacobs), she didn’t.
NY Democrats are getting worried: “We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” @MarkLevineNYC said. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.” politi.co/3S2k7P7 via @NickReisman

Hi to everyone who actually pays attention to politics in New York and understands our worthless party chair @JayJacobs28 is to blame for New York being in play, not Biden. Help us replace Jacobs. Join the movement @ReplaceJacobs

Republicans must never hold the House again. If your state Dem Party sucks, take it over, win every House seat in your state to protect us from this Banana Republic. Looking at you, NY! @ReplaceJacobs xitter.cf/SpeakerJohnson/status/…
House Republicans are investigating Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Special Counsel Jack Smith for targeting political opponents. The American people deserve answers, and we will not tolerate this two-tiered system of justice.

Imagine that! A party that invests in growth and ground-level activism instead of playing defense and blaming everyone else for its failures. NY, it’s time to #replacejayjacobs – at Manhattan, NY

A Democratic State Committee that recognizes the value in professionalizing the necessary, hard work of creating a more energized and engaged party. Imagine that. #replacejayjacobs
yesterday, the NCDP State Executive Committee voted to make a state chair a full-time, paid position. I’m beyond proud and grateful to my party. This is a step to ensuring ANYONE — working folks, young folks, poor folks — can be a leader in our party. We should be damn proud. ✊

"The Nassau and NYS Democratic parties are desiccated to nonexistent." Because @JayJacobs28 has needed to be shown the exit door for a while now. #ReplaceJayJacobs #NY03 @ReplaceJacobs @LindseyBoylan @yuhline @Biaggi4NY @EricaForNY @AndreaChalupa @Get_Loud1 @nydems @NassauDems
The special election to replace George Santos is best understood as a collision between the Nassau Republican machine and the national effort headed up by Hakeem Jeffries. The Nassau and NYS Democratic parties are desiccated to nonexistent.

🧵Once again, NYS Dem Party chair, @JayJacobs28, threw away an opportunity to start transforming the State Committee into a professionalized, energized, and engaged apparatus. Instead, he’s using his authority to disenfranchise rank-and-file State Committee members. Here’s how👇

Why not set up a few virtual meet & greets with the U.S. Senate candidate(s) where State Committee members could ask questions? Why not ask the newly appointed caucus chairs to facilitate them as a way to kick off caucus events? Why is he rushing everything? Well, we know why...

To consolidate & hold on to his unquestioned authority. We can do better. We need to do better. Not just for 2024, but for 2026, 2028, 2030...we need leadership that is committed to building a strong state party. And this leadership...isn’t it. We need to #ReplaceJayJacobs. /end

1st thing's 1st: we wouldn't be in this position if @JayJacobs28 had done his job to begin with. But also, this is deeply undemocratic, and someone w/Jacobs' track record shouldn't have a say in this process. Reform the NYS party. And #ReplaceJayJacobs. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/ins…

Jay Jacobs tells Politico he will announce the Democratic nominee next Tuesday. Suozzi clearly the frontrunner to get the nod but maybe bad blood from Gov. Kathy Hochul (who Jacobs is also close to) complicates that. We’ll know soon enough! politico.com/news/2023/12/01…

If you missed the action at yesterday's NYS Democratic State Committee meeting, here's a great thread from @DanielleBrecker to catch you up - featuring appearances by @riseandresistny! #ReplaceJayJacobs
This starts my NY State Democratic committee meeting 🧵 I’m currently in the progressive caucus meeting. The meeting too intense for me to live tweet, I need to be present. That means lots of tweets coming from me in the middle of the night tonight😉

I was also surprised to hear Jacobs say in the rural caucus meeting that you can’t find a republican in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens! Ummm, George Santos!?! To start.

At the executive meeting this⤵️happened. I know most of the Dems their today/yesterday protesting + holding Jacobs to account. I know them from doing electoral and advocacy work. Jacobs should be listening to NY Dems, recognizing their efforts, bringing them in…not dividing us! – at Uniondale, NY
According to NYS Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs, questioning his leadership (which led to multiple Dem losses even across his home county) makes you akin to an election denier - and he'll only take criticisms in private. The one in denial here is @JayJacobs28. #ReplaceJayJacobs
