just maybe they would win some elections inspite of the rigged voting machines.
Why didn't Obama show up in GA? Why didn't Osoloff campaign against Trump the way Handle campaigned against Nancy Pelosi? I really don't understand Democrats politics.

And now there is a movement within the party to shun any but the smallest donations, lest we be "corporate shills" even if it's from a supportive, progressive source.

We will not win if we don't have the finances to counter the fake accusations, and get our message where it needs to go.
