Between Citizens United, gerrymandering, mass voter purges, closed primaries…

Hunter Prado (via Twitter):

Factually, between Citizens United, gerrymandering, mass voter purges, closed primaries and that whole “living in a corrupt oligarchy that is forever shifting rightward” thing, your power as an individual American voter is severely limited. It is not however, non-existent.

As such I am baffled at why wealthy donors, the corporate media and bougie professional class liberals so casually insist the labor class voter completely surrender that tiny bit of power & influence by pledging to vote for whichever stiff the Dem Party forces on them in advance.

In a turn of events that should come as a total surprise (to no one)

In a turn of events that should come as a total surprise (to no one), it looks like Working Families Party’s endorsement of Elizabeth Warren was a straight pay-for-play deal.

Elizabeth Warren’s daughter, Amelia Warren Tyagi, is Chairwoman of Demos, a liberal think tank.

Per Demos’ 2018 tax filing, they gave $45,000 to the Working Families Party. This was the first year Demos gave anything to WFP.
