Shouldn’t any legislation for farmers be conditioned on affordable care act subsidies? Shouldn’t democrats get something for the American people if the President wants to fix the problem he created? Or am I wrong? What about something for Black farmers?

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

This. Democrats have just made excuse after excuse not to help working people and the marginalized when they’re in power. Do nothings.
the biggest lie in american politics, probably only second to bush lying us into iraq, has been democrats constantly telling us "we just can't..." only to watch republicans do whatever the fuck they want over and over and over. makes me sick.

Democrats need to start running local ads in all red states about job losses, small business losses, health costs, and the economy now. Start getting local people to tell their stories. Don’t wait until the midterms.
