It’s sad reading this bc it’s totally right and Biden and the Dem Party simply aren’t gonna do most of all of these things.
Dems are so freaking stupid. Image
How do you run key Senate campaigns during the greatest economic downturn in 100 years, & against a party that exists entirely to further enrich the wealthy, & just forget to talk about the economy and jobs??
The left told Dems for two years to run ON progressive policies that make people’s loves better, not AGAINST the Orange Bad Man. And look what happened.

I've been through the thought process on this before, and after listening to folks who monitor and report on Fox News daily, I believe it's never good to appear on the network, especially its most toxic programs (Ingraham and Carlson). By appearing, you're legitimizing...
...white nationalists' favorite cable TV network. Fox is a horrific, radicalizing propaganda force & should be completely shunned at all costs. I think an exception is high-level political debates & town halls, which aren't hosted by the most extreme personalities.
If you're running for office and have the chance to explain your policies to millions of people in a non-white nationalist context (yes, these debates & town halls have plenty of liberals in attendance), how could you not.

That'd be Kelly Loeffler's husband giving $5 million to the pro-Loeffler super PAC, which Loeffler is legally prohibited from coordinating with.
That's on top of the $5.5 million that Sprecher had already given to the super PAC.

$10.5 million for your wife's super PAC, totally normal! projects.propublica.org/itemizer/filin…
While I have you here, please donate to the Shinnecock Nation, which is fighting for its sacred land & economic rights during the pandemic right next to the ultra-wealthy Hamptons: gofundme.com/f/p72wbj

NEW: The House Freedom Caucus, GOP megadonors, and corporate executives have donated to & financed ad campaigns supporting extremist QAnon candidates. I've got the numbers. exposedbycmd.org/2020/10/01/tru…
FBI deemed the QAnon conspiracy movement a domestic terrorism threat last year. Yet the House Freedom Caucus endorsed three QAnon-friendly candidates, collected donations for them, & spent over $100k on ads backing Greene, who'll be in Congress, & Boebert. exposedbycmd.org/2020/10/01/tru…
.@MarkMeadows, former Freedom Caucus chair & Trump's current chief of staff, is at the center of this.

His PACs donated to Greene & the Freedom Caucus' PAC. His campaign is the biggest donor to a super PAC that also spent money on ads backing Greene. exposedbycmd.org/2020/10/01/tru…

I heard @SamSeder make this argument in a recent Ring of Fire podcast as well. And I agree. This is the first time since I became a journalist that I'm publicly expressing whom I'm voting for. I'm voting for Biden in NY for the exact reasons Kate states here. We must stop fascism
@SamSeder I've tweeted, even recently, that I'm voting for (writing in) whomever the hell I want. That was before I thought about the overall vote count as a factor in election theft. So I've changed my mind.
If you've followed me for more than a couple months you'll know that I've reported many times on Biden's shady connections, including to oil & gas, his corporate donors, etc. I don't like him! He sucks and punches left! He won't support M4A or a real GND. But he's no fascist.

All I can say is getting out the vote is the only thing that matters right now. Donate to groups that are doing GOTV, especially if they're knocking on doors. Some groups & campaigns are going to homes & observing social distancing.
I'm a politics reporter and I don't endorse candidates but it's obvious I'm a leftist. We're facing fascism, folks. So here's a list I compiled for some friends about how to best spend your money if you, you know, aren't a white supremacist.
These groups are in swing states and/or states with close Senate races. They're all doing GOTV. Your money will go much farther with them than with campaigns or super PACs.

.@SeanMcElwee gets a lot of shit from the left, and most of it is underserved imo. He’s a brilliant guy who, in his mid-20s, decided to focus on data & polling to get progressives in office. His work is accurate and effective.
He’s probably not as radical as he was at age 24, but to say that 26-year-old Sean sold out 24-year-old Sean is pretty ridiculous. Shit, when I was mid-20s I was pursuing a PhD in music composition & barely followed politics.
I personally think the left needs a more aggressive strategy—both electorally & when in office—but I respect his approach. That may be the weak spot: When they get to Congress, what do they do? Identifying candidates who can win AND will fight the establishment is very difficult.
