"Would you donate to a slate of candidates who include on their platform that they will block arms to Netanyahu?"

Team D cares more about one or two big donors than all the peons ever to get out a checkbook.

Dismantling Israel and settler colonialism is the only correct way forward.

I would donate to a candidate who both calls the war in Gaza a genocide and whose platform includes promise to vote and urge fellow members of Congress to block arms to Israel, and immediately send food, supplies and medical aid and relief to Palestinians.

Add to that would like to see a candidate who supports blocking further aid to Russia, calls out Putin on plans for similar takeover and genocide in Ukraine - a candidate who intends to pressure with sanctions on Russia. and work with NATO and European allies to fund Ukraine in defense against further attacks on Ukraine or any other sovereign nation.

I would support such a candidate and donate if these and other issues on human rights, immigration, climate and ecological initiatives, health and economics are in support of the majority of ALL Americans...someone committed to undo the damage inflicted on America since Jan when the felon regained the office of the presidency.....a large task - but nothing less is required...total commitment to envisioning a reformation - not just restoration...

I've been burned too much by Democrats' empty promises. Biden promised a $15 minimum wage and free college, but when it came time to deliver, they found excuses. So I no longer donate based on promises. Show me you're worth donating to by what you've done for working class people, then, and only then, will I consider donating.

I'd be more enthusiastic about donating if they said Israel instead of Netanyahu. If he goes the problem isn't solved.

It’s sad. So sad! We are the world’s wealthiest country. We just increased taxes on and stripped benefits from the poor—all to feed the WEALTHY. Uncaringly ruthless Republicans, bought off by the WEALTHY, have an agenda of pain and suffering for the poor, the needy, the sinking middle class. For heaven’s sake, give heathcare, childcare, food assistance, and LIVING wages to everyone. Charge the total cost to the WEALTHY billionaires. They cannot be satisfied, and need their greedy asses kicked for this carnage. They are funding the ruthlessness; they are gouging and gorging. To what purpose is their $ billions? Hoarding alone. Outlaw this hoarding! They cannot spend it all, yet they fund tax cuts only for themselves. Sound about right to you? I made protest signs for your upcoming protests. Protesting is now critical for Occupied D.C. We must fill the streets! There is just enough time to get signs printed for your protest group. Fill the hands of the signless with signs…or hoagies. Where are your signs? It is time to post them so that others can use them. FreeDC!
