1. Why support @DemsWork4USA? Because our model gets results. We won 254 seats in the 2017-2018 cycle up and down the ballot. A look at our performance in the primaries demonstrates the power of early, strategic, grassroots support.
2. We won 237 of 286 primary races - an 83% win rate. This is comparatively high for the amount of races we supported. 147 of the primary winners we supported went on to win the general. This is a win/loss ratio of 2:1.
3. General election candidates who we didn't endorse in the primary had a win/loss ratio of 1:1. This means that our model of identifying and supporting the best candidate to win in the general as our primary pick doubles the chance of winning the seat.
4. Other organizations have raised far more money to secure wins from much fewer candidates. We're extremely excited to continue to grow and make an even bigger impact in 2020. You can help us do that!

1. The war we are fighting is for democracy. It is a war against authoritarianism, kleptocracy and white nationalism. Spending resources and energy to weaken your own forces and cause division only strengthens the true opposition.

2. There will be no progressive policies passed without seats. Every lost seat at the state and federal level weakens our ability to fight the GOP agenda and pass progressive bills. Of the 22 primary elections Justice Dems won, only 5 were for competitive Republican-held seats.
3. A 31% win rate exemplifies the risk. Every seat matters. Every seat. We can't afford self-inflicted wounds or divisive tactics. This is not the time. Be clear-eyed about the enemy and focused on what it takes to beat them back -- or we all lose.

1. Look, @SteveSchmidtSES, I get it. You want your party back from Trumpism - you want space for the ideologies on which you've staked your careers. Same for other Never Trumpers like @MaxBoot, @DavidJollyFL or @davidfrum. Running @HowardSchultz as an IND in 2020 isn't the way.
2. The #GOP didn't get here overnight. The Southern Strategy, the alliance with Evangelicals, the anti-intellectualism, the systemic voter suppression - this has been a set trajectory for decades. One you were all a part of, even though you may not like where you landed.
3. And, yes, it may be that your party is forever ruined and a new one must rise, but there is no quick fix. Running Howard as an independent allows you to bypass the primary process. Claiming he is an "independent-centrist" is disingenuous. Independent of what?

1. In 2016 I feared for our country. On this #HolocaustMemorialDay that fear now encompasses the western liberal democracy that has kept order and peace post WWII. National populism has spread across the hemisphere on a dark trajectory - one already outlined in history.
2. We are failing to see the bigger picture, blinded by the myopic lens of tribalism. Putin, however, is clear-eyed. This is his vision and has been all along. Populism isn’t a solution to a problem. It is a reaction to a problem -largely the problem of wealth inequality.
3. National populism revolves around the following: a) political distrust b) perceived destruction of national cultures c) anxiety about deprivation of jobs and income d) dealignment of political parties with voters. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

1. And now I'm going to tell a story. Another false flag. This time is to force @POTUS not to take the US army out of #Syria.
They already have a lot of experience (8 years) to make chemical attacks to accuse the Syrian government.
OH, and they even have a manual.🧐😲🤨

2. ISIS terrorist? 😲Seriously?🤨 Have they investigated? 🤓And they already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

Preliminary reports say at least six people were killed & 19 injured by the explosion. US official: 4 US army Killed & 3 US army wounded.

3. ISIS took responsability?😲Seriously?🤨Have they investigated?🤓They already know who it was? 🧐Super efficient 🙃.

The Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) took responsibility for the attack that reportedly targeted the US-led coalition’s patrol.

Thanks and congratulations to all our @OnwardTogether partners for two years of hard work that paid off in a big way this week.
These organizations are recruiting a new Democratic bench, defending rights, and organizing locally to fight for progressive policies that improve people's lives. I'm so proud.
.@arenasummit, @CollectivePAC, @EmergeAmerica, and @runforsomething have collectively recruited, trained, and supported hundreds of candidates up and down the ballot. They are building a Democratic bench, candidate by candidate and race by race.

Signs that #Election2016 was rigged (judge for yourselves)
1.There are plenty of examples were the #UnitedStates has been involved in trying to rig or likely has been a part of rigging foreign elections.
2.1948 election in# Italy, #USA agencies "threw everything, into helping the Christian Democrats.

1950s, the #CIA allegedly helped the West German Christian Democrats, led by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, to come to power.

1/ Everything you need to know about the new organization @PartyMajority which you can join at PartyMajority.com
2/ Incredibly grateful that one of the individuals that stepped up to be an early founder of this organization is Mike Lux @ProgressiveLux, who is a major progressive leader and diehard Democrat.
3/ In short, @PartyMajority works to rebuild Democratic infrastructure from the ground up, continuing tactics that have worked and scrapping what has failed.
