While all this shit is happening they're coming for your Social Security.

In Minnesota we know Peggy Flanagan is gold-star on not letting them get it.

Peggy's primary opponent? The DFL MN gov nominee? What I know is taking Israeli lobby money puts those two in the same camp as Tom Emmer (each of those two non-Peggy Dems at about half the MN leading Emmer take), per https://www.trackaipac.com/congress/#minnesota

 Check it out. Figure it out. Money given Israel is money not for Social Security. Econ 101, guns and butter. That much is clear. Also, those three have been in DC some time while Big Pharma and Big Medicine have owned DC at the same time. But at least those two med-power lobby types will take Medicare money until it's taken away too. 

Clean house. The nation can be better than it has been.

UPDATE: link  There are governor choices of protest without voting for a Republican, or doing a primary write-in. A way to say to Amy in the primary that better is expected even when forced to go lesser evil and vote for her in the general election. 

And there is Doug Chapin in MN6, a very sound DFL candidate with a chance to retire Emmer from a House seat and party whip to lobbying for crypto, or whatever.

FURTHER: pablum, not progress

Compare here, with detail, and teeth that bite. Amy is running on name recognition. Her dad, they say, was a good sports writer.

FURTHER: Critique this. Something missing?
