What effect does supporting down ballot candidates in Texas “who don’t have the money” have on the fate of our country? Unlike all the other Dems who lost important primaries, she refuses to campaign for James Talarico.

Our ancient, perverse and deficient political system had better be completely overhauled because it stopped serving We the People a long time ago.
