3. It's not that I disagree

It's more of a case that there are organizations that in essence don't agree with you. And I'm talking about everything from the DCCC to DFA. There are forces that actively work to undermine grass roots and local control. National figures get involved in local races and primaries. DSCC works to support incumbents. They don't like primaries where grassroots can vote to remove representatives that don't represent their values.

So do I get involved to oppose those organizations?
