i'm not unsympathetic to the "change the system" argument. it's impossible to argue that everything works well, it at all.

what bothers me is rewarding politicians who don't understand that working within the existing framework is how change happens.
burning it all down and starting your own group of people loyal to you and your cause can get you 40% in a primary. it can't get you much beyond that.

warren dems or justice dems or sunshine jingle jangle dems don't win primaries, and that means that they can't effect change.
that's why ive always respected that Kamala Harris works with everyone she can WITHIN the system that she possibly can to effect change that helps real Americans every day.

i care about results that make people's lives better, not the utopia that some folks demand.
we live in a real world.

we need people who understand that and want to challenge those constraints in a way that makes a tangible difference in our lives.

Kamala is raising money for candidates who are challenging Republicans for US Senate seats, that's how you make change.
