We on the left are TOTALLY on our own. The GOP has their hands in every government backstop. Gerrymandering, cheating, highly skilled vote stealing, corrupt state officials, voter intimidation, voter roll purges, and ongoing Russian (and other) foreign influence are just some of what we're up against.

We need to be supporting (and not blocking) every organization that can stand with us.

The DNC is absolutely not our enemy, even if they didn't answer your communication and even as you withheld money they need because they won't do what you want.

I agree with most of what you post and stay quiet when i don't, but this is the wrong way forward, in my view.

No, there's no logical reason that would be the case. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #22
If you're not helping Dems Trumpocalypse Jun 2019 #40
It would help Dems because it would convince young voters -- those whose lives could be ruined pnwmom Jun 2019 #42
In your opinion Trumpocalypse Jun 2019 #43
