It has become crucial to win the house.

Repukes have shown no desire to investigate republican campaign shenanigans. If a mid level FBI agent needs investigating for 'influencing a campaign' what should be done with Cohen's statements that Trump manipulated the campaign?

Call your representatives. Put pressure on all republicans to do what's right.

GET OUT THE VOTE!!

Calling repub representatives and putting pressure on them to do what's right, is a complete waste of time. They couldn't care less. If you think otherwise, where have you been?

Don't count on today's Never Trumpers and Independent fence sitters to be on board with the Democratic nominee once choirboy Pence is in place.

meaning Dems and democratic socialists should do everything to get incumbent Dems re-elected instead of challenging them for their seats.

Run in districts where there is no incumbent Democrat. We need every seat in the House we can get.

Please understand that subbing one Democrat for a sitting Democrat does not gain us a Democratic seat, it keeps us at the same number of seats. We have to get more seats than the repugs to be able to have the speakership and the power to move bills to the floor for voting; for committee chairs and their subpoena power and ability to hold investigations, hearings and impeachment proceedings. Only the majority party can do that.

Again, our country now is more important than individual ambition. After today's guilty verdicts we actually have a real chance to get trump's fucking ass out but we have to gain the majority.
