Her opponent then signed on to block the bombs.
Her opponent then rejected AIPAC because these politicians are cowards.
They are defined by whatever keeps them in power, and that is what defines their decision-making more than anything.
And that is what we need to do, embrace a culture of competition in our party, and then do the work at the state legislative level.
Right now, so little is going to happen in Congress, especially as they get into more gridlock after redistricting.
We need to be laser focused on state legislatures where we can actually pass legislation and Republicans have built up power for the past 50 years.
That's how they've really done it.
And then Trump came in at the very end to do checkmate on the whole system.
But the thing that laid the groundwork for that was the takeover of state legislatures.
That's why the vast majority of the candidates that we support at Leaders We Deserve, what we do in Congress is really to make a point and change the culture of our party.
But the long-term focus, the real meat and potatoes of what we do
is state legislatures.
And just recently, we had the most wins we ever have had in one election night, electing tons of candidates across Georgia, Pennsylvania, and other states around the country.
And we got runoffs coming up.
Right now in Texas, there's a candidate named Julio Salinas that we're supporting that's in a runoff against a Democrat who is actively still showing up to Tea Party meetings.
and if we lose that seat even though it's a safer blue seat he that his opponent sebi could caucus with the republicans and cost democrats a future majority in the texas state legislature we are doing the work at the state legislative level to build an incredible bench of great candidates not just in blue states not just in purple states but in red states as well where we know we are going to have to win for the long term especially for 2030
after census reapportionment.
That's why we invest in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and so many other states.
But in order to do that, we need the independents to support the candidates that the party does not fucking like, but we absolutely do need.
And the way we do that is with small dollar contributions.
