If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.
That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries.
There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Wouldn’t be in office!
At this rate the DNC will never win another W. H. election.
We should also not beer willing to vote in any white men unless there's no other option in that county
They’re not trying to make a facist dictatorship, so I’ve been voting blue. But that’s most of what they have rn.
They won't do either, but those are things the average person cares about.
Talking about banning superpacs is something only political junkies care about.
bullshit needs to end.
ITS NOT WORKING FOR THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS AND HASN'T BEEN FOR DECADES.
Enough.
We need a new party.
Money alone doesn’t win elections anyway. Before being picked to head the Dept of Ed Linda McMahon ran the most expensive Senate race in history here in CT and lost anyway because our incumbent was popular… and she was the WWE lady.
To save Democracy we must resist by any means. Make nazis fear again!

This is your Advance Notice
Start planning now
WE NEED A HUGE CROWD
March 4th - Washington, DC
U.S. Capitol- Noon
This should become the law of the land.
Democracy is invaluable and not free,
election costs should be paid for with our taxes with a cap and a minimum score like in so many countries .
Assuming midterm elections actually happen, of course
The Revolution starts now!
Trump gop doesn’t raise money they just fall in line .
I feel voters just can’t afford all the act blue begging and such imho
These guys would kick a kid off the Titanic if it meant they'd get a lobbyist check.
Their problem is that they were fundamentally contemptible human beings.
Trump is too. The difference is, he told his base exactly what they wanted to hear.
The Democrats haven't said anything I'm interested in hearing.
I don't want to hear a peep from the Dems concerning illegals, trans or pronoun BS. I also want reasonable & attainable eco goals. Dems need to look at streamline gov'ment. M4A & tuition top issues.
It's not the "deer in the headlights" as when it's the Kompromat. It's different. More a look of regret and sad dejected compliance.
They need to focus on pointing out crazy things. And getting people mad about them.
Democracy by the people, for the people WILL ALWAYS FAIL if some are more equal(due to $) then others
Like Roosevelt Democrats must welcome the hatred of the welfare queen robber Barrons and embrace the 90% who have been shafted for past 50 yrs.
Dems couldn't keep up with GOP propaganda spending.
When I saw the $ corps donated to GOP, I saw we never had a chance. We can't disavow Big Money until we win back big- which takes Big Money. Then get rid of Citizens United.
It’s possible, we’ve seen it with Bernie, and Ocasio-Cortez, and others who are willing to actually step up and work on behalf of the people. The days of representing corporate interests over people are gone, or else we will end up right back here.
A rights party has conservative and working members who only agree they need protection.
The conservatives oppose commitment to helping others. And they favor money over labor, money over the environment.

People today do NOT have a clue what the parties stand for or their differences!!!
Show them this and MUCH, MUCH MORE!
They are all multi-millionaires who can afford to move anywhere they want.
Are presentimg that ruins an intelligent discussions! Grow up!
WE NEED ALL THE MONEY WE CAN GET.
We need to stop using rules that apply to US but not THEM.
Banning big donations right now, as we are trying to defeat Trump and his minions, is like shooting ourselves in the foot the morning of the big race.
NOT the way to WIN.

If the GOP dumps big money into elections, we need all we can get. There aren't enough small donors to make up the difference.
What the DNCC does with the $ is the issue. Invest in solid candidates in winnable races, and start early = NOW!

Unfortunately, this is like disavowing guns as a way of stopping war. That logic didn't work for neutral countries before WW1 or WW2.

Money is the gunpowder of politics, and the only way to get rid of it is with actual gunpowder.
See, for example, @aoc.bsky.social
We do not need big donors to win, in fact, they are a massive hindrance.
What if instead of taking money from everyday people candidates gave everyday people resource, capital&agency?
What better political platform than to produce tangible outcomes benefiting the citizenry?
Partnering the candidate,donors& citizenry to politically engineer mutually beneficial outcomes together
#Musk-B.A.-Nazi
Just kidding but it is getting very creepy.
Some never have; and they never will. But those that feed at the trough? Nope; it’s their heroin.
They need to LISTEN, to actually CARE and to DO things that take care of working class people.
Obama knew that. Obama DID that. And working class people in the swing states supported him for it.
Some are authentic caregivers that have the best intrest of humanity at heart&want everyone&the planet to thrive
The parasitic elite which control the majority of the nations wealth&power DO command the attention of the state to only be responsive to them/corporations
Dissent of the people is a result of structural inequalities which are deeper than $
The focus is on money when it should be on outcomes.
When I run I'll fundraise FOR localized projects benefiting Americans in cities&rural towns across America that model what I'll do to consensus build&advocate for mutual intrest&the common good at the fed level once elected
Being nasty to people is easy and common and has zero value by itself.
Without money and exploitable skills they’ll never be noticed.
But then we need a Constitutional amendment to get money out of politics.
Super PAC donations to political parties must be banned altogether.
or in this case, the american people
big business is the enemy, wealth is the enemy
Make the “Party of the working class” a crippled jawless dog of the robber barons then say liberal democracy does not work!
have to remember what it means for platforms and policies to burn up instead of being sold down. must drive engagement! we are just wasting the money as is.
Now is our time, it's up to us.
