Ok, well I'd definitely be voting for the other guy if I lived in that district.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

You can donate to any candidate in any election.
Insert coins and your favorite politician wins votes
The pay2win is getting very brazen
So, you're fine with the fascists winning because you're too good and pure to actually do anything?
The system isn't perfect, but it'll get worse if people do nothing.
Thank you for sharing this link!
Keep sharing it!
Last time I contributed I ended up on a list and I still get half a dozen text messages a week begging for money.
Lately several seem like obvious scams.
But I refuse to donate to a candidate if they only reach out to ask for money. And I'm definitely not contributing if I get put on a goddamn spam list.
You can just contribute to ActBlue itself. I've been supporting them for years and never get any spam.
Solution: End Citizens United.
Oh look, democrats trying to be even less progressive.
Since when has AIPAC == Democrats? They fund Zionists regardless of party affiliation.
AIPAC aren't on anyone's side except Israel.
And they're not gonna hesitate to destroy American democracy if it gets "moderates" like Biden, Schumer, or Jeffries in office that are going to not only turn a blind eye, but defend their genocide.
They don't care if Dems lose and a Republican wins in the general. Because they bought off the republicans too.
And the DNC probably doesn't care that much either. Its easier for them to unseat a Republican than a progressive.
Progressives have been trying to play ball for decades, but these "moderates" never show any of that unity the constantly demand from us.
People want to keep calling being against genocide "single issue voters" which is just the same projection shit republicans do.
Assuming someone is a genuine progressive, the single-issue voter accusation is very hard to make stick. Progressives have one of the clearest and broadest sets of platform goals of anyone. I wouldn't worry about it.
A genuine hamas supporter, as opposed to a peace supporter, they might be a single issue voter. But I think those are very much in the minority, and most progressives just want peace and equality for Palestine and do not support warfighting.
They're not even on Israel's side, they're a revisionist Zionist group. They're on the side of fascism plain and simple.
Israeli fascist trying to overthrow American democracy. That's all this is. We're allowing a fascist foreign government to sway how our democracy is run. There's a Bizarro world, a better one maybe, where we'd be bombing them for this.
It always seems like there are deep pockets for stuff like this. Meanwhile, trying to keep the outright fascists out of office....crickets.
Most expensive? Oh I dunno, Tony Gonzales just had to spend like $10m to barely beat a YouTube memelord by less than 1000 votes.
Latimer got $14.5m from AIPAC alone. The crypto scammers apparently invested a similar amount in his current and future corruption too.
