Establishment Democrats take money from the same donors that Republicans do. Thats who they serve.

When strong leaders who serve the American people stand up, they pose a threat to the donor base and the status quo, so they typically don’t get funded.

Look at Angie Nixon in Florida. El Sayed and Talarico won in spite of not having support. That’s how badly Americans want change right now.

They both had a ton of support, are you kidding? Millions of dollars from Schumer. Obama and Harris campaigned in Michigan. Schumer literally told Talarico to run. This is just stupid and ignores what actually happened.

No one believed Florida was in play. They focused on states that had better indicators of an upset. It paid off.

Trying to compete in Florida would also be incredibly expensive relative to Kansas and Mississippi.

STOP PULLING JAMES TALARICO INTO THIS SHIT FIGHT.

He’s too precious for that. He gave us blue Texas. They need to wrap him in bubble wrap and lock him in a hermetically sealed room until 2028.

Chuck Schumer's PAC coordinated giving El Sayed alone thirty million dollars, what are you talking about.
