Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.

They upset the status quo and the $$ flowing into their pockets from lobbyists. The last 8 months have really opened my eyes as to how many Dems are not much different than Republicans, just better at hiding their disdain for the middle class.

Bullshit. Dems may involve corporate lobbyists like Republicans do, but the 2 are not the same. Of course it is also Republicans who will not vote to stop $ in politics, Citizens United, etc.

Comparing Dems and Republicans as the same is ridiculous. All you need to do is look at the work, look at what they spend time on, and look at the level of disrespect Republicans have for everyone who doesn't take out their pom poms for them. Dems have never and would never treat people this way.

They are working. They are not putting on a show after voters left them with minorities in the House and Senate after 4 years of Republicans doing nothing except putting on shows. If you want them to have power to defend,as they always have, organize like the black communities did last election.

When everything that regular people rely on os gone, remember it was Dems that fought for those things. It was always Dems. Without supermajorities in Congress, America will continue with petty grievances & scream about some trans person somewhere while handing over their livlihoods.

They'll ultimately support whoever wins the Primary. The bad news is that once the candidate is decided, Republicans will run someone strictly to split the Dem votes because the voters are not onto their tricks and fall for it every time, like RFK Jr, like Cuomo I NY, and on and on.
