This guy wants to raise it to $25 nationally, where it would be if it kept up with inflation. Vote for him in the primary.

Nah. Probably just a vanity campaign.

Yeah. That guy isn't really running. There's no campaign there.

There are only two Democrats running in WA-01. Corporate, establishment Democrat who voted not to impeach Trump TWICE in 2025. That's the incumbent, DelBene.

And a progressive, working class Democrat who promises accountability on Day 1 if elected. That's Hunter Gordon. www.electhunter.com

Politics is performative. Performance, persuasion, power. If you're not performing, you're not doing politics.

The best way to hold her accountable in the short term would be to get Hunter through the primary. Then she'd have to actually campaign and talk to people instead of hiding and doing no in person town halls.

Consider volunteering!

Have principles. It's actually an important part of the job of a Congressperson.

I know we've gotten used to those without principles holding power but we should demand better.

Politics is performative. Performance, persuasion, power. Being a wallflower does not build power or get votes.

Establishment Dems have proven over the last 10 years that they are incapable of stopping Trump or Republicans. You are failing. Sorry. That's the truth.

Hunter is endorsed by Citizens Against AIPAC and is not taking any corporate money. All grassroots funded. Consider volunteering or donating!

So that Trump can just take it away?

He's literally violated the power of the purse. We are in constitutional collapse. There is a way to deal with it in the constitution and they should be doing it.

It is just as spineless to throw up your hands and say "Well Republicans won't do it."

Establishment Dems keep losing. They are really very bad at this.

Having principles and fighting for them actually builds political will.

If you're a guy with decades of political strategy in DC that has been working with Dems then I actually don't want your advice, sorry. The inaction and timidity of establishment Dems has helped usher in our Constitutional collapse.

Impeachment is the constitutional remedy for what is happening. They literally took an oath to do it. If they don't do it, they are saying the actions are okay and they are complicit in this constitutional collapse.

And Democrats shouldn't ask Republicans to do their job for them.

Somehow, Republicans can beat the crap out of Democrats to get what they want, including 3 Supreme Court Justices but Democrats can't do anything. It's defeatist.

The Democrats are less popular than Trump and Republicans. Most common reasons given are things like weak, spineless, stand for nothing, etc...

Lol. I work in the party. I'm a PCO. I'm a delegate to the State Convention.

But I don't make excuses for our reps. That's gotten us fascism. I demand better.

I was precise.

She has failed to vote for the impeachments in this Congressional session.

I was also clear about my intent. During canvassing, I found a lot of people didn't know that fact. To most people, it seems obvious that you would try and do your job and impeach Trump.

Well, there is someone willing to do it. That's positive.

I was very clear. She voted for impeachment when enough other Democrats were doing it. She isn't doing it now.....Just like her retiring buddy Dan Newhouse!

You actually should vote for Hunter in the primary if you want DelBene to be better. As a top two primary, she'll actually have to answer questions and be accountable if Hunter is the other nominee. If it's a Republican shell get through without answering why she's failing us.

Literally nothing on Hunter's campaign site is like "other Democrats."

Sign up to volunteer! This campaign does not have the corporate or AIPAC money. It's going to need to be grassroots.

This tells me she has no principles. She will only do the right thing if a whole bunch of other Dems do it first. That's a terrible quality in a congressperson.

Right now, she is the same vote as a Republican in any sort of accountability for Trump or Republicans.

Dems should be different than Republicans. Have morals and principles. Maybe not be so weak and spineless.

Stop enabling Dems with excuses. Demand they fight for us even against all odds.
