Will Hillary Fans Support Downballot Berniecrats?

[votesparks]

Because I'm one who could use some help unseating a monied GOP opponent.

There are many more of us who need help in unseating nasty GOP opponents all across the country.

1. I know DWS won't

[votesparks]

5. If it weren't for me

My GOP opponent would be running unopposed. And I live in a winnable district.

[Renew Deal]

2. Definitely in the GE

Don't know the status of primaries. Good luck!

[votesparks]

8. I'm out of the primary, and onto the general

You can support my campaign by donating:

or by donating your time (we need phone bankers from across the USA)

3. Depends on what the ODP Party Chair tells me...

I'll support just about any Democratic candidate who's competitive.

[votesparks]

9. I did have more primary votes than my GOP opponent in Montgomery County

It's Preble County where I'll need the most support. It was added to our district in 2012 during GOP redistricting, and the 43rd went into GOP hands for the first time since 1973.

We have have been canvassing hard, to great reception, gaining supporters, and volunteers with every trip.

I'm running a low-budget (we don't have any other kind of budget), work harder, person-to-person Peanut Butter and Jelly grassroots campaign.

4. Doubt it

this is why we need to build a total movement

[PyaarRevolution]

6. They will.

Look at the pictures with Raskin where people had his signs but had Hillary stickers on their shirts.

[NuclearDem]

7. I'm planning to vote straight Democratic in November.

[DesertRat]

10. In Nov. I will vote straight Democratic

As usual.

[fun n serious]

11. I said NO once out of anger but I will Campaign and make calls for ANY BernieCrat running against

a GOP. I'll even make calls out of state and post on Social media all I can. I won't do it to unseat a DEM tho

[votesparks]

14. I'm DEFINITELY seeking volunteers

A campaign can never have enough.

because we need a progressive takeover of the Ohio Statehouse, now. If I can win with elbow grease and grassroots support, we can open up the possibility of win all over Ohio in two years by going around the money system.

If you want to volunteer, please get in touch with my campaign here:

https://www.votedavidsparks.org/volunteer

We've already been knocking on doors since before January, and have a great and very energized crew of volunteers already. We'd love to have your support. If you submit your info on my web site above, we will send you phone banking information, with a script, and a personal phone call from the candidate to talk about state issues so that you can do the best job possible.

Here's part of my crew from last weekend:



Thank you!

[PyaarRevolution]

20. Can't volunteer since I live in KS but I will consider donating.

Considering how broken Ohio is from what I've heard.

Are you signed up with ActBlue yet?

[votesparks]

21. Yes

12. I am likely voting for Delgado here in Hudson County, but have heard very little about the B-crats.

So thanks for posting!

[Else You Are Mad]

13. The problem is..

That the statewide Democratic parties have decided that it isn't worth funding any Democrat in a Republican gerrymanderred district to run because it would be too hard.

[lumberjack_jeff]

24. Fuck the party. This is a guy who wants a $15 minimum wage, to control pollution...

... and to legalize marijuana.

That, and the fact that he's been here since 2010 should be good enough. We've seen how useless it is to donate to the party.

[truedelphi]

27. And what is the lucrative Quid Pro Quo for those that do that? n/t

[Bleacher Creature]

15. I'm supporting Democrats this fall. Period.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

16. In the GE, the Dem nominees get my vote

Unless they are LaRouchies

[moriah]

17. If I was in your state, I would....

I'm fighting the fight in AR now, though not running of course.

[BreakfastClub]

18. I always support democrats. What kind of question is that? Don't all democrats? nt

[votesparks]

22. I certainly hoped so

But was just putting the question out there, mainly because our campaigns need support and are actively seeking it.

Every D on the ballot is getting my support.

I never really got into the nasty back and fourth that has characterized much of this campaign, at least online. I'm in it to win it, and fight for good policies for middle class Americans and the poor, just for starters. That means I'll be critical on issue stances and methodology held by some within' our ranks, in order to fight for what I believe is right, and ultimately make the party better.

I feel great about the future.

[Fresh_Start]

19. Been supporting liberal candidates for years

sadly at this moment by husband jobs just evaporated
I hope he's reemployed in time for me to help win back the senate

[Hekate]

23. Yes. In the General Election if they are running as Democrats.

That's how it works.

[Jitter65]

25. We already have: Jamie Raskin nt

[snot]

26. HELL YEAH

(AND thank you!!!)

It's our civic duty to make life as difficult for neolibs as possible.

And Hillary loves our causes as much as she claims to, she should THANK US!!!

[Lil Missy]

28. Straight Democratic ticket here. n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]

29. Kicking for downticket Berniecrats.

Sanders was the first step. He has shown us that the Sanders agenda is not only right, but a winning idea. Were it not for the structural/institutional corruption and self-interest among DNC leadership and comfortable incumbents, he'd be ahead.

Regardless of the outcome of this election, Berniecrats have shown themselves to be a force in the party. As my generation dies off, downticket Democrats like David will take it over. My hope is that this happens sooner rather than later. We need to make this change at state legislatures and below.
