    Money.

    Just a reminder that this past election shows that people are absolutely fed the hell up with the current spinless democratic party. Donate to the progressives, never donate to the DNC and its ilk, and vote for them in the primaries to get these collaborators out of office. The change is happening but like the Beastie Boys say, it takes time to build.

    Just hope that these collaborators don’t vote to remove the right to vote because I can see them doing this.

      Everyone look up and support Run For Something. Their progressive candidates won many elections couple days ago when we won big. Also they have RFS Feel Good weekly updates detailing all they have accomplishments over the years

      Research/Volunteer for them and get people you know would be good candidates to them to be trained!!!

      Voters are not fed up with them, they may removed about them at times like these but will defend them tooth and nail come election time. And anyone pointing out what they previously did are lashed out at and accused of trying to get the other team elected. Voters have the memory of dead goldfish
