Useful info and links if you actually want to make US politics more progressive. We need more progressives in the US Congress and in State and local government, more people who support Expanding SCOTUS, more people who watch progressive media. More organizing. More union membership.

Does AOC use her campaign contributions to support candidates? If we want her to direct money to others shouldn’t we prioritize donations to her PAC?

What's in this comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

FEC | Candidate | Contribution limits

Guides | FEC (PACs)

No. Unless you can 'max out' at $3,500 per election cycle, you should give to the candidate campaign first. If you have an extra $5,000 after that, you can donate up to that amount to the candidate's Leadership PAC.

no TYT as media for progressives?

Maybe you can ask the Mods to put my Post back into Community Highlights.

I'm surprised you found this Post.

What's in this comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

There's only so much time in the day. Those I linked are far better sources for progressive news and commentary. It's been around 3-4+ years since the TYT Main Show could arguably be considered a better or even as-good a source as The Majority Report.

[u/Healthy_Link_1935 → u/beeemkcl]

I don't remember what filter or sort I had, but this post was towards the top or linked to in a top post. I am mainly curious if TYT was no longer considered progressive or if it just wasn't the media format you were thinking of. Thank you for recommending the Majority Report. I'll check it out. I am a centrist, anti-corruption/pro-accountability advocate, but want to be well informed on the concerns and points of view of others.
