Unfortunately I think that that ship that sailed. I don't think anybody can mount a successful primary challenge Against him at this juncture. In the primary game you have to get in there real early And I think he has the district sewn up to support him.

https://www.denverpost.com/2019/09/05/hickenlooper-romanoff-2020-senate/

But if you really feel that this is where you wanna spend things Check out this article. Again I'm sorry for being a bit of a Debbie downer but I just don't see a way forward for a non hickenlooper candidacy which sucks because Would love to have somebody else

His only real primary rival is Andrew Romanoff at https://www.andrewromanoff.com/

Hickenlooper is pretty substantially out raising him, though, and Gardner is pretty substantially out raising Hickenlooper, so Romanoff is a definite longshot, but less of one than the other six candidates.

If you're interested, the Colorado Sun just released their analysis of the latest fundraising reports.

I'd like to send my dad a list of candidates that will shift the overton window left, sort of like the second post by the op but in a format that I can actually send to someone, is that a thing?

Yeah, it is probably best to omit Amy McGrath until after the primary because she sucks major rear end and Charles Booker is a much better option. Now is the time where we get to choose the progressive, not the trumpist non-dem

Charles Booker is missing, I can add him later. Amy McGrath is not missing; that's a list of good (or at least good in terms of policy) candidates.

Bernie is great! But consider giving to some of the down ballot people who really need help like Jesscia Cisneros or Jessica Scarane. Jessicas are the most competent candidate bloc in 2020 imo.

Bernie asked me to max out yesterday so I did. I have a position on him winning the Dem nomination on PredictIt, so I'll make most of it back if he wins. Gambling is dumb, though.

Much like Bernie is being pitted against multiple opponents' combined polling totals in dumb MSM infographics, I dare multiple posters to match me through the power of their combined donations to various causes that will ultimately support the forced redistribution of my wealth.

A kind goon posted this handy link in the primary thread. With it you can donate to Peter Welch, Mark Pocan, Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, Jessica Cisneros, Georgette Gomez, Andru Volinsky and Reggie Jones-Sawyer with a single click.

Edit: I wonder if anybody can setup a group donation link like that.

I have an SA-mart thread for them here:

I can produce thousands of them with whatever design. I really want to find some work making buttons for actual campaigns, so if anyone knows how I could start doing that I could use some advice about it! I'm a very poor goon and this button making business might be my ticket out of wage slavery, and getting to support myself by producing bernie sanders merch is basically my dream job right now.

The big stumbling block you'll run into is the "union bug."

The IWW might be a road you can go down, I know some people in my town were talking about organizing a co-op for making campaign materials under the IWW.

Edit:

If you're selling online, it probably won't be a big deal, but this really is something you should look into. This is the kind of thing that will help you enormously if you want to set up in person. People do look for the bug, and to some it's an extremely big deal.

As the head of a local Democratic Party group I can say I've experienced the backlash of having print pieces with no Union bug. Not everything I do has it, but anything done in late quantities does.

Just found another group donation link. This is is from the Sunrise Movement. It’s in support of candidates they think are critical to getting the Green New Deal passed.

Specifically:
Jessica Cisneros (TX-28)
Marie Newman (IL-03)
Morgan Harper (OH-03)
Robert Emmons Jr. (IL-01) and
Mike Siegel (TX-10)

Edit: chipped in $25 per month.

That is really good. County Commissioners are very powerful local positions that determine all manner of things

quote:

Each commission acts as the executive of the local government, levying local taxes, administering county governmental services such as correctional institutions, courts, public health oversight, property registration, building code enforcement, and public works (e.g. road maintenance). The system has been supplanted in large part, as disparate sparsely-settled regions become urbanized and establish tighter local governmental control, usually in municipalities, though in many of the more rural states, the county commission retains more control, and even in some urbanized areas, may be responsible for significant government services.


Commissions have a HUGE amount of power to affect the lives of everyone in a county

Goons should check out Richard Dien Winfield, a Senate candidate in Georgia. He's a philosophy professor at the University of Georgia, specializing in logic, metaphysics, and Hegel.

He stands for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal, as well as single-payer legal care insurance, an awesome idea I haven't seen previously.
