Money isn't everything. Sometimes being correct on the issues and not being corrupt is enough.

[rawsteph]

There are still other great Justice Democrat candidates to support: Kara Eastman (taking on a Republican in the general), Cori Bush, Alex Morse, and others. I'm hoping we can pick up a few more wins in the next couple months.

Justice dems is the best that happened to liberals in a very long time

[tracytracyWM]

Democracy dollars and ranked choice voting!

Knowledgeable dude. Dope that they let him answer so in depth

4:25, Mr. Marans, I don't know if it's a male thing but it sure seems as though it would undoubtedly help the Reproductive Justice movement we started correcting journalist and advocates when terms like "abortion rights" or "pro-abortion" " anti-abortion" are used in reporting. This is about a woman's right to choose and her reproductive rights. Specificity and messaging are crucial. Look at the Defund Police movement. That message is not going to make that a big tent group. Women's ownership of their own body rings louder than "killing a fetus".

And we ain’t stopping here! We’re correct on the issues avd we’re gaining traction! ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

Super informative love to know the behind the scenes and how everything works.

This is a perfect example that you have to attack your opponent when you see a weakness and that's something Bernie Sanders failed to do because he selfishly refused attacking his "friend". Anyways thanks guys.

Daniel Marans sounds like he is reading a AOC press release.

[peterkrug]

Sadly, it wasn't victories across the board: Charles Booker lost to Amy McGrath and Andrew Romanoff lost to John Hickenlooper.

Oh Mr. Marans, you forgot to mention THE reason why Jamaal Bowman won his primary: Andrew Yang!

[EJ_Sergio_]

I wish a United Wing of Justice Democrats (Bernie & AOC) & Humanity Forward (Andrew Yang)

[Bluebelle]

it doesn't bode well that "Working Families Party" endorsed Bowman
After the crap they pulled before, it makes me seriously reconsider my support of him

[gugy]

Daniel clean your room or change the camera angle. It will make you look professional. Trust me.

[thothheartmaat]

So what's on the agenda everyone? Make life miserable for all non degenerates?

[jdpartyhat]

I don't know...
Daniel Marans sometimes has that 'condescending tone' in his voice.
And in the beginning the Justice Democrats ate their own (the actual founders) with exaggerated me too baloney.

Krystal looking rather manly today. Nice lefty style haircut.
