@DebHaalandNM@SGR4NM This is RIGGING! García Richard dropped out of the race before the Primary (fearing a loss to Harold @nm_Pope?) Popular Maggie jumps in at the last second and wins the primary, only to drop out immediately to clear the way for you to pick SGR with no interference by the voters.
This reeks of rigging! The @NMDEMS are emulating the DNC in thumbing their noses at the voters they need to win in November. Senator Harold @NM_Pope ran for months on a Progressive platform and refused corporate PAC money, and has the skills to serve as President of the Senate!

I say this with no ill will and *some* animosity. I am a Democrat. I earned the nomination to be the person facing the Republican incumbent in Texas House District 132.
Over the last 18 months, I’ve built my own team using my OWN resources and collectively we have knocked on over 40,000 doors in that time.
Unless something crazy happens in the next 6 days, I will file a TEC report that shows that my campaign has ~$2,500 COH.
So when you say “Don't use our resources.” Literally what resources?
“Don't rely on our volunteers.” I’m sorry, WHOSE volunteers? Because you do not own volunteers.
“Don't use our infrastructure.” WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE? Because I am out here on an island in west Harris County and I may not even be able to afford yard signs ffs.
And last but not least: “Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.”
Heard.
Loud and clear.
I won’t ask for anything.
I started this campaign knowing that this was a long shot. I had no money, no political experience or connections, and just a burning desire to just give something BETTER to my hometown than what they have now. And every part of my being is committed to achieving that goal.
And Jamie, I promise that I won’t use “your” resources to win.
God I hate politics.
Support for genocide SHOULD be met with an earthquake sized political reckoning. Good people are repulsed with the moral bankruptcy of political elites. It's surprising that so many people are surprised.
It's clear Donald Trump will stop at nothing to prevent you from voting against his unpopular agenda.
You should be able to afford a home and vote, not one or the other.
Even @Morning_Joe has had it with the false claims of antisemitism: "If you want to blame anybody for what happened last night, you have to blame Benjamin Netanyahu."
"The idea that you're going to be able to brutalize children and women in Gaza with bombing that looks indiscriminate on TV day in and day out for years, that you're going to be able to level half of Lebanon, that you're going to be able to continue to allow thugs to run wild in the West Bank, and brutalizing Palestinians, brutalizing Christians in Bethlehem, brutalizing Christians across that area along with Palestinian Muslims, especially Palestinian Muslims, blowing up Catholic churches in Gaza... You can blame all of this on Benjamin Netanyahu."

Socialist sweep in New York as #Mamdani candidates prevail. The mayor flexed his political muscle as @BradLander, @Claireforny Valdez, and @DarializaforNY Avila Chevalier triumphed in their congressional primaries https://t.co/jYJeK40MGj via @jewishinsider
🏆#Zohran 3-0 🟥 #AIPAC
Socialists Are Setting the Agenda in New York City. Claire Valdez, Brad Lander, & Darializa Avila Chevalier won their primaries Tuesday night, sending a sign of strength for an NYC left led by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. https://t.co/NP3gYGZPvF via @theintercept
@harrisonjaime Mr. H, Democratic VOTERS don't hate what the party claims to represent. What we do hate are snouts-in-the-trough party leaders who would rather lose with flunkies that keep the corporate & AIPAC donations flowing than win with Democratic🌹Socialists who will smash the trough!
So proud to send another Justice Democrat recruit from NY to Congress!
@DarializaforNY's wins a seismic defeat of AIPAC & the establishment.
She's the working class champion we need: always standing up to wealthy interests to fight for her #NY13 — no matter the personal cost.
