    If there was ever a time for the DNC to listen to voters, it was at any point in time.

    Do not hold back on them, hold them accountable and demand better. “We will apply pressure but back off when it’s actually meaningful” is a terrible strategy.

      Whether they actually are good for us and are actually fighting for us or not, constant smear campaign fueled by wealthy bad actors and foreign powers is going to have impacts on the vote.

      Sometimes we need to fight back against bias by evening out that scale, declaring the value in voting blue no matter who.

      Even if we think Democrats might shit the bed, we need to make it clear we have to prevent Republicans from pumping gallons of shit into the bedroom.

      This group of progressives, “Our Revolution” was a continuation of the Bernie Sanders election campaign, and Bernie Sanders spent today yelling at the top of his lungs as the US confirmed a health secretary who actively promoted the unnecessary death of infants and argued with him on pharmaceutical company profits.

      Voter Outreach and party platform is OUR JOB. Not just the DNC.
