Are ads running in appropriate districts to educate voters...

... about things like...

Obamacare is the same as The Affordable Care Act.

Social Security comes from your federal taxes.

Medicare comes from your federal taxes.

Medicaid comes from your federal taxes.

Hopefully in time to get voters to contact their representatives before critical votes.

because we aren't rich, and we'd rather use the money for " something that works."

Huh. Where have I heard that lately.

Dems have no message, not as a whole. Republican plutocrats own all the media outlets and don't give Dems any free air time, unlike 24/7 Trump.

That's why PuKKKes can label our candidates any lying thing they want (Crooked Hillary) and all we can do is take it.

It's up to us to change that, cuz the Dem leadership won't. And they won't like it when we try to change it.
They are concerned about their non-existent "image" while the pirates take over the ship.

Quick! What do Dems stand for????
