Yes, and we all need to put in time, not just money. We can't buy the right kind of candidates, we are going to have to be them or build them with our own hands.
Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

The full clip may be even worse. He explains that it “didn’t work” bc Trump took advantage of it to do a bunch of unlawful things. This is the same elite cowardice that has gotten us exactly nowhere. “Gosh, Trump is breaking the law and hurting people. Guess we’d better cave.”

Hey @schumer.senate.gov way to fail hard. Seven weeks of showdown over the shutdown so you could get nothing is some pretty weak shit, even compared to the normal lack of spine. A lot of people went through a lot of pain and you're throwing that all away for what, exactly?

My grandfather served in WWII. He was never willing to share much his experience during the war, but I know it was horrific.
To see the sacrifice and duty of his fellow Black veterans of that war erased is incredibly painful and deeply shameful. Fuck everyone responsible for this.

This is, of course, false. Americans LOVE socialism when we get it, as long as it's not called socialism. And on average, it works better than the alternative.
Mike Johnson: "If you run as a socialist, you run on a big list false claims. You promise everything to everyone, and you can't deliver, and if you were able to deliver it would be to the great detriment of the people you lured in to vote for you."
