I'm excited to announce the final results in Democracy for America's first Presidential Pulse Poll of the 2016 race. And, just like in the 2007-08 election cycle, DFA members are not falling in line with the dominant media narrative.
With 164,733 votes cast by DFA members across the country, the results are in. And the winners are... (drum roll):
Elizabeth Warren won by a large margin because she inspires Democrats by valiantly fighting for populist progressive policies to address income inequality in the face of Wall Street resistance -- and because she regularly engages with the grassroots base of her party.
Of course, if you listen to the media, you would think there is no reason for a Democratic presidential primary to take place.
DFA members know primaries matter. We know that the Democratic Party is stronger when it's a contest of ideas, not a coronation. And we know that none of the potential candidates can lock up the nomination before a campaign has even begun.
If several candidates run, the race will be wide open. And, no matter who runs, DFA members will be working day in and day out to get behind the best candidate with the strongest vision for fighting income inequality.
Democracy for America is going on offense to define the issues and candidates that will decide the 2016 presidential election. To jumpstart our campaign, will you make a donation to DFA today -- and help win the White House in 2016?

And that is getting really really old. Doesn't have the effect they think it does.
