I don’t want Chuck Schumer out because of his no vote to end the shut down. I want Chuck Schumer out because he couldn’t control his caucus and 8 of the people in it defected to the fascist side and voted with them!

He needs to be gone as Senate minority leader like yesterday!

They also conduct opposition research to harm you, including leaks to the media.

Note:
Words every outside-the-box thinker gets from the party.

Wait, it is not your time. Or America is not ready for that idea. Take it slow.

which means the money always wins, and the money always gets its way.

That changes when we bum rush the primaries with voters who reject that view and candidates with true integrity!

THAT, more than anything else, is the lesson of the Mamdani win.

We keep ignoring that NYC has public funding of primary elections, which is what allowed Zohran to have the money to compete.

THAT’S what leveled the playing field with Cuomo and everyone else.

We don’t have that in federal races

how much money can you raise.

And then those already elected by corporate money, give their endorsement to others who will bend over for corporate money.

Insurgency is EXTREMELY hard because Dem primary voters don’t want insurgency.

If we want to change the party, CHANGE THE PRIMAY ELECTORATE!

If you are one of the people who doesn’t bother to vote in Dem primaries,

consider checking yourself.

We get these soulless corporate Dems because the primary voting base favors this kind of corporate centrist Dem.

Kidnapping Children

Hunter Demster has been an outstanding man, and followed these task forces around Memphis. They are not kind to him by any means. During this follow, he caught a sinister act.

This is hundreds of agents swarming one family.

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.
