    Yeah, the way the DNC’s leadership has been hijacked by wealthy interests that push them to steer all their campaign support away from progressive candidates who support non-Republican policies because they’re not “electable” is a huge problem

      Votes beat dollars all the time. That’s how AOC got elected in the primary.

        One single example of an exceptional candidate does not sound like “all the time” to me, and even though she was able to overcome DNC fuckery when she knocked out Crowley, the fact that that fuckery exists at all is a problem

          Why would dollars beat votes?

          Dollars are used to fund programs to get people to vote for your candidate and not the other.
