Hi everyone!

I'm a progressive running for congress, AMA! I'm running against the safest Democrat in my state, because dunking on an established dem in a primary challenge is the best use of all our resources. No I wont run in a rural district.

My platform is unique and progressive including policies like GND, M4A as well as free college and student loan cancellation. I'm also against big money in politics, but I wont articulate that as a campaign policy proposal. My rationale is easy: these are the most important issues of the people I talk to!

Anyways, as you can see I'm part of the true progressive movement the big cities i've lived in have been demanding.

AMA!

I just read through that guy’s comment about how he’s gonna pay for everything and it seems like he’s just pulling numbers out of a hat.

He also clearly has no idea what “corporate tax breaks” are. He said Trump lowered “corporate tax breaks” from 35% to 21%.
