This is why we lose every time. The R's may be cruel, but they stick together, they vote together. We don't show up for our candidates on election day (Kamala, Hillary) when it counts. We don't stick together as a party when it's time to stay strong with things like this.

I hope every one of these 8 senators is primaried.
