I woke up with a CRAZY scary stupid thought: Maybe I should run for Congress against Steny Hoyer. Dude’s been in office since 1981. He’s in his late 80s. If I do it, I’ll run as a progressive independent caucusing with, but not controlled by Dems. And I will NOT take PAC money of any kind.

My platform will be simple: 1) hold every attacker of the Constitution accountable. 2) free healthcare for all. Not “access” to plans with $600 deductibles. FREE CARE! 3) universal child care from 0-5. 4) FUCK ICE 5) FUCK AIPAC, Free Palestine 6) if our government is being completely

Do it. If another, better, candidate also signs up, then gracefully withdraw. If you want. Otherwise decide you're the better candidate and fight it out.

Go for it, but run as a Dem and make reforming the broken, hapless, conflict averse old af Dem Party the centerpiece of your campaign. Be a “Fighting Dem.” We’re a two party system, that’s just reality. Running as an independent is just attention seeking behavior not a series effort.

Politicians that takes money from PACs needs to be challenged in the primaries and during town halls by progressives. The old guard had their time to make a difference. The status quo sucked and led right here. Run on universal healthcare and education to level the playing field and fix what ails us

Ban all political PACS ALSO: Justice Democrats org is a political action committee (PAC). The Federal Election Commission (FEC) officially lists it as a PAC, and is also categorized as a "Carey committee," which is a type of hybrid PAC that can have both a traditional PAC and a Super PAC component.

If you could not run attack ads on your opponents, and just run ads showing how you would vote to uplift and improve the financial lives of middle and poorer Americans, that would be a new forward. And only other ads defending a negative ad against you with explained facts. That would be strong.
