175. The point I was making about laws have nothing to do with your stories.

If you want to talk about your situation, start a thread on it and see if someone bites.

Don't, though, try to gish gallop away from the topic by flinging a bunch of personal crapola having nothing to do with the subject of this thread at me. My admonition to you has nothing to do with "true colors." It has to do with STAYING ON TOPIC, and you failed to do that with your little sashay down "personal lane" to try to distract from the fact that you'd lost the bubble on this issue. You aren't "weeding," you're desperately trying to change the subject. Sorry--NO sale.

Bottom line--we win downticket races, we can change laws. We don't win downticket races, we cannot change law. To win these races, we need MONEY--for ads and media buys, for workers, for office space, for bumper stickers, for flyers, etc. CLINTON is raising this money. SANDERS has just signed a pact agreeing to do the same.

It's quite simple, and your personal issues -injected as a simple distraction from the discussion -- have nothing to do with that dynamic.

Again, you want to talk about your hard life? Start a thread and stop "pretending" that your personal anecdotes inform this conversation in any way. This thread is about DNC fundraisers and getting downticket candidates elected, not about your personal litanies. And no--when you distract, disrupt, and try to derail threads, I don't care about your "hardships"--because they are not salient to this topic. Take them somewhere where they apply.
