Interestingly... I have thought about a joint announcement of the democrat candidate and a working relationship.

ª that is to say that when the candidate is announced prominent Dems who have run before, would be part of the support system for the special eleciton candidate

ª one of the frustrations I have had that every two years there are candidates, when they lost they moved on... (You did mention in your tv interview that you had contact with some of the past candidates)

ª as sickening to see the gQp goosestep to the hmpy trmPEDO, it is just as disturbing to watch how un-united the democrats are... (as the Michelle Wolf says (to paraphrase).. dems find a way to lose)

That unified front... and I probably am wrong about this.. hasn't felt real to me in ny21... I don't remember many High Profile Democrats campaigning here (I seem to remember maybe Chuck Schumer)... and I guess there is a fear that say a Kathy Hochul

Governor of New York would be a negative if she campaigned in ny21..

It kind of repeats what I say when I say the dems don't know how to unite

I think the use of populist.... is not understood by the democrats... hint, it isn’t who the billionaire democrats like.

I agree with Faiz Shakir...

///the fact that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lost to a democrat who could not do half of what she could... is worse that the constant demonizing by fox (https://www.foxnews.com/media/aoc-complains-jon-stewart-normalized-trump-so-much-more-dangerous-second-term) when your own party demonizes you, who needs fox////

besides registering democrats.. all democrats need to be active...

personally I think we should be calling our county chairs

and seeing what they are thinking as far as selecting a candidate?

NYS dem chair Jay S. Jacobs (https://www.nydems.org/about/leadership)

sorry to ramble.

there are groups you can move and those you can’t.. the magQholes© don’t care about hmpy trmPEDO pardoned cop killers.. you can’t move those...

and (I don’t care how harsh this is) all the republican candidates support the cop killers

that is to be repeated until the republicans with a brain and hopefully common sense; and the independents and the non-voting democrats - - - > hear it

Let me add, I am NOT a polling expert (how has the polling experts helped ny21???)

AOC received republican votes.

ª not for a second do I believe these were magQholes

ª nor were they supporters of cop killers

forget that the fox corp lies by using out of context comments

take a look at the two videos.. why is AOC's skin darkened on fox .... could it be Puerto Ricans aren't scary enough, but 'black' women are scary

compare the videos

fox' version

I’m registered as Working Families Party. I hope that means that people with no party registration are more open when I stump for Paula Collins.

Sure. The WFP votes get considered. I understand your approach. And we need you as a WFP voter.

The blanks and Independents, as well as the registered Republicans who nonetheless vote Blue are a problem. Like you, they think they are presenting themselves as more credible when they stump. And that would work in another district where the numbers were closer. But in NY-21 THE reason the Democratic Party doesn't contribute financially is because the Dems + WFPs are outnumbered by 81,000. That's a lot of people.
