We Dems are still losing far more often than we should because of $$$$$

I’ve studied macro demographic changes in the US for years, and the shifts since before 2000 election but especially since 2012 should favor Democrats and more progressive candidates.

The GOP has seen this and not stood still. This is why they go to further and further shady, unethical, illegal and treasonous lengths to keep their outsized influence and power.

Citizens United, gerrymandering and now partnering with Russian agents are the way they combat the will of the people.

At the end of the day, all of their machinations fail if we the people rise up overwhelmingly and VOTE. We must make it not even close. Wipe them away in 2018.

Now is not the time for complacency. Take Election Day off as a personal day, early vote if possible and then drive people to the polls, phone bank—whatever.

We must turn out in scary proportions to send these blackguard traitors the message we are taking over again.
