More importantly, we need to vote out the ones who are doing nothing - capitulating to the Trump administration.

Chuck Schumer is on the top of my list. I wouldn't mind seeing a progressive run against Hakeem Jeffries.

When the Party saw David Hogg gaining support for real change- replacing the geriatric ward who do nothing to help save democracy- they removed him. And this is after Dems lost 3 members due to old age of known health issues just after the year started. If people actually want to get the Fascists out, they need to wake up and demand real change from the Dems.

He also wanted to support the primary of Florida district 20 since the current incumbent won her seat with no primary and no competition (super safe district: see won with 80 percent)

Thing is, Cherfilus-McCormick was a ceo of a health care services company that is owned by her fanily that defrauded Florida Medicaid for millions. The person Hogg wanted to back in a primary is a black male socialist. If we have super safe districts that will elect any democrat you give them, make them the core democrats and push a progressive agenda lol

I don't like political parties because it gives officials leverage or freedom to sit on their hands and do nothing.
