68 Chapters of College Democrats are urging voters not to donate to the DCCC. These young people are some of the party's key organizers and activists, these people helped flip 40 House seats in 2018.
To make a long story short, the DCCC has changed its policy regarding incumbent Democrats. The DCCC is going to help incumbent Democrats in safe Democratic districts while shunning any challengers to them. We're talking about safe Democratic districts where a Democrat is going to get elected regardless.
My opinion is that if an incumbent is doing a good job and working hard he/she shouldn't fear a primary challenge. My opinion is that the DCCC is wasting money supporting incumbents in safe districts instead of spending that money in swing districts. JMO.

Lets show some gracefulness by acknowledging that the future demands a different kind of leadership. One that will have to live with the bad effects of global warming and the myriad of issues related to it long after we Boomers are dead and gone.

And they dont have to be from my state only.
All the great candidates raising millions so fast arent getting that money from the DCCC. They dont need to either.
