It is indeed short-sighted to dismiss the significant advantage of having a majority in either house of Congress * Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #61

We've been accepting "imperfect" Democrats for years. choie Jan 2025 #64

And their "bipartisanship" never ever Bettie Jan 2025 #69

That's not true. What's been happening is that short-sighted folks have been failing to support the BEST candidate * Oopsie Daisy Jan 2025 #72

Justice Democrats, Our Revolution, DSA, and maybe others are possibly worthy of your money. ColinC Jan 2025 #63

They don't attract donations because they are terrible organizations. tritsofme Jan 2025 #86

Those are Republican organizations. tritsofme Jan 2025 #91
