Do you really want to lose because your candidates are too cheap to buy a candy bar?
For all the crap I see about how dedicated people are as Democrats, talking about GOTV, door to door, donating, phonebanking, etc, they suddenly turn up their noses at the thought that candidates maybe should actually try to win votes by siding with poor people about things like student debt.
What good are the candidates, if they're not going to help people with the things people actually want help with? Why should we hire them into office if they're going to be bloody useless when it comes to the things we actually need them to work on?
When the rubber hits the road, the *only* GOTV that matters is candidates loudly and frequently telling people they'll do what the people want if the people will vote them in. Again, if your candidates aren't willing to do that, they're not worth voting for.
