    I’m also not the only one. Expanding a House majority is critical, which is why I regularly (and happily) fundraise sizeable amounts for fellow members. I also believe that a Dem majority should be transformative, which is why I give strategically. Seems fair, no?

    I give quite a bit to fellow Dems - we’ve fundraised over $300,000 for others (more than my “dues”), w/ over 50% going to swing seats. DCCC made clear that they will blacklist any org that helps progressive candidates like me. I can choose not to fund that kind of exclusion.

    La representante demócrata asegura que quienes dicen que Estados Unidos "tiene dinero para una guerra" pero no para el cuidado de salud o matrículas gratuitas, "están jugando juegos contigo".
    The people who tell you we DO have war money but DON’T have healthcare money, tuition-free money, infrastructure money, or Green New Deal money are playing games with you.

    How about “I am a Republican and will be voting Democrat because Trump is an authoritarian threat to our collective wellbeing.”
    Opinion: "I am a Republican, and I hope the Democrats pick a candidate I can vote for"

    Hi Jim, I survived war as a child and deal with post-traumatic stress disorder—much like many who have served or lived through war. It’s shameful that you as a member of Congress would erase the PTSD of survivors.

    I find it highly amusing that my coworkers angrily yell stuff like this and then clutch their pearls and cry when they are called out for their racism
    I was in the same briefing as you, , and this is absolutely false. You and your squad of Ayatollah sympathizers are spreading propaganda that divides our nation and strengthens our enemies.

    Are people actually upset over discussing multiparty systems? The conversation is helpful for understanding difference among Dems. People are acting like a Dem didn’t just join the GOP a few wks ago. Other safe Dems actually fundraise for Republicans. That’s not “moderate.”

    In our current primary field, some people treat healthcare as a right, and others don’t. Doesn’t make you enemies, it makes you different. Abroad, being in diff parties doesn’t mean you dislike each other. It means you acknowledge your differences and come together in coalition.
