from the all the Democratic candidates I might think they are all about to lose in a landslide. It does not inspire me to send money. Sorry to say but I nuke about 99% of them. As soon as I delete one another five pop up.

Ww have got to change the system. Here in Hawaii we are so lucky to have two excellent senators but Ill tell you what, theyre better than we deserve.
I really progressive older generation left us a legacy and these people grew up with them. We are no more democratic than the Hong Kong election directed by China, down to the second decimal. (We= US )
Check out Represent.us. They have a good idea bit its one state at a time effort.

(94,499 posts)..well, the honest truth is that doom and gloom emails get low dollar donors to contribute. It they didnt, candidates wouldnt send them.

I support candidates who are action oriented and I dont make that decision based on emails.
