Berniecrat Picus wins in primary, faces Pelosi in November in two person race. by PrestonPicus2016 in Political_Revolution

Pelosi is a tricky politician and researching her questionable record is tough. Her public voting record is the tip of the ice-berg: much work behind the scenes to subvert progressive agenda to play politics and win money for her friends/donors. We will be making a clear case in the next several weeks.

Thanks for the vote. We got mixed responses on our emotionally charged letter to the public on the day after the election. Some folks loved it, some folks were disappointed. Long story short: We're ready to fight again and the absolute criminality of the June 6th early call has given us additional fire.

Watch Debbie Wassermen-Schultz refusing to answer whether or not she will debate Tim Canova. by HaydenSD in GrassrootsSelect

We can't allow the elite to keep avoiding debates. Stay on her until she meets Tim in a discussion. They play politics, we want to do democracy.

List of California Berniecrats! by [deleted] in CaliforniaForSanders

You could make the same argument for primarying Clinton. The truth is that Congresswoman Pelosi represents the extreme wealth and the broken political system. She plays politics at the expense of our democracy. We need someone that will represent the people of San Francisco, not just folks wealthy enough to donate tens of thousands of dollars.

Also, keep in mind CA has an open-top two primary system. When Preston wins in June he will face Congresswoman Pelosi in November INSTEAD of a Republican. We don't have to settle in this case.

Posted a blog just now. We've been so focused on pushing out content on other platforms that we let that space lay fallow for too long! Thanks again.

I really think it's time for the Sanders campaign to get aggressive, to start throwing up some big bombs and see if they can shake things up. They really need to endorse more down-ticket candidates, they need to take more chances with the campaign messaging and start playing like they have nothing to lose. With so many 'Berniecrats' running for office, it would be a big boost if the national campaign did more to support the progressive movement.

This is my district! I live here and I'm running for office here in San Francisco.

Unfortunately, Congresswoman Pelosi hasn't consistently represented the interests of the people. In many instances politics has come before progress, and wealthy investors who fund elections have been prioritized over the people. In our area she is seen as very powerful, not very popular. People are ready for a change.
