Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Some of my favourite blurbs on the subject of neutrality. Generally speaking, believing you’re being neutral when one side is clearly being hurt.. you aren’t. There is no neutral. You’re essentially just telling the bad side to carry on.
We must always clearly side with those who need us.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.
Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.
This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.
