Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he’s finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he’s decided to do just that.

    Critical that the next generation are immune to AIPAC. That is the only way to break free of the Zionist chokehold

      They need to be immune to so many different PACs. And they need to learn the lesson Biden and Kamala didn’t: you actually get more funding my courting us, the people, than you do the corporations. Yeah, the corporations have more money, and they’ll give you some, but they’ll give more to the republican candidate, and what’s more, there’s more of us.

        You’re high as a kite if you think a super pac doesn’t have infinitely deeper pockets. They just bid the minimum for these politicians. If millions of grass roots donors gave everything they could, it would be a rounding error for them to match it.

          No I know the PACs have more monetary power than we do. But Kamala stopped getting as much funding when she turned to them instead of us. The PACs love republicans because the republicans will do anything for money

        DNC hasn’t conducted a legitimate presidential primary since 08. That is EIGHTEEN straight years of effyou from the DNC. No signs they plan on wavering anytime soon. Your next candidate will be anointed for you.

          Eighteen?! HA! Luxury!

          We lost every state but Minnesota. Then we lost to an attack ad. Then we got a centrist. Then we lost to a war criminal. And that’s just the national stage! Our red state candidates were BMW-driving dockers-wearing Sales weasels from central casting with as many progressive ideas as mistresses.

          Just because you didn’t like the outcome of an election doesn’t mean it wasn’t legitimate.

            I’m too educated and perceptive to be gaslit that weakly. Take your garbage somewhere else please. Lincoln McAfee and Malty O’Marlin were fake candidates. And everyone saw Klobuchar, Buttegeig, and Harris coordinate together after the SC primary. Take your garbage somewhere else please.

            Just because you fail to process cause and effect in reality doesn’t mean the DNC holds fair primaries
