Democrats need to act with the same urgency they email us for money.
They need to get corporate and dark money out of the primary process.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.
They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

I'm just going to keep pointing out these small* moments of collective action until it starts to click with folks that if we stand together we have all of the power.

"Boycotting" an election doesn't send the message that you're unhappy, because it doesn't lose them money like it would for a business. You're not the nation's customer.
Refusing to vote sends the message that you're fine with whatever result you get, that other people can decide for you.

And unfortunately some well-meaning people fall for it, thinking not voting would work the same way as boycotting a business.
