My current bottom line on donations to Democrats. [View all]

Three primary criteria:
-Have you developed and are you promoting a plan to protect election integrity NOW?
-Are you vociferously attacking the legacy media for their biased reporting and support for this administration?
-Are you persistently calling out this administration’s connection to Putin.

To be clear, I am terribly concerned about tsf’s economic, immigration, foreign policy, et cetera, from top to bottom. I am aware of the Epstein files. I am aware of the nuances of individual races. But I firmly believe my criteria are the fundamental sources of our problems. I don’t believe tsf was ever was ever “duly elected.” I believe they are clearly engaging in overt plans to subvert elections. I believe the legacy media is purposely misleading people. And I believe the administration’s policies can be shown to be aligned with Putin’s interests.

I believe these criteria represent our most fundamental problems in this moment. I believe failure to address them immediately is likely to spell disaster for upcoming elections.

Also, to be clear, I’m not saying these are the only things a candidate should be talking about. But I think they should be top line, with connections made to multiple other related issues. You know, walking and chewing gum.

As election season heats up, my decisions may change. I have conveyed my ideas to the DNCC and not received a response. I am hosting this here as it is the most public platform I engage in, and in hope that my ideas could gain some traction in the discussion on election strategy and tactics.
