Osborn was the only independent candidate I supported financially last year.

The other 15 candidates I supported financially are Democrats.

Democrats received 90% of my political donations last year, and one independent candidate, Osborn, received the remaining 10%.

if Texas is creating more congressional districts, #NYC ALONE could topple that in an instant. my congressional “neighborhood”

New York's 12th congressional district

has more people than the whole of Wyoming:

NYC should triple if not double the amount of people we send to DC. 750,000 per district is too much. that should be divided into smaller blocks.

unfortunately, the NY #democrats leadership are pussies.

The Democrats are still on their bullshit.

In an interview on Tuesday, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D) touted her supposed opposition to Israel’s humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza — but dodged questions on whether or not she would support withholding weapons from Israel, and deflected blame onto pro-Palestine protesters in the U.S. for Israel’s starvation campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris, a former California attorney general, says she won’t run for governor of California despite speculation that she’d enter the race in 2026. Some Democrats viewed her as a strong contender, but she made it clear she’s focused on her current role, where she’s handling voting rights, reproductive rights, and other national priorities. Is this a sign she’s all in for another Biden-Harris term, or just not interested in heading back to Sacramento?

This table lists my donations from largest to smallest, with the candidates I gave the most to, listed first.

I will discuss each of these elections later in this thread.

For the most part, discussions of these elections, in this thread, will generally follow the order of the candidates as they appear in this table.

"The court recognized that the #DNC treated voters unfairly, but ruled that the DNC is a private c#orporation; therefore, #voters cannot protect their rights by turning to the courts"

BOTH of our #political factions are private corporations profiting from donors, not serving you.

As we continue to explore the results of last year’s election, it’s finally time to examine my personal political donations, with the assistance of several colorful tables and graphs.

In 2024, I donated $455 to political candidates campaigning for Congress and the Kansas Legislature.

Want to know another way Democrats can blow the 2026 midterms? By ignoring their constituents. Like, say, when officials at the Maine Democratic Party and other left-leaning organizations refuse to answer me when I ask if they support further gun reform measures. Brush off voters less dedicated than me, and you've got a recipe for disaster. Wake up, Democrats. #Politics #Maine #Midterms #Elections #US #USpol #Democrats thenation.com/article/politics
