Mandela Barnes: “Democracy is quite literally on the line.”

People know how much money was spent against me. People know that I was the most targeted Democrat in the entire country.

If you want to build a real democracy, it is about not just working with the basic folks that you’ve known forever... but we’re in the business of addition.

We have to tax the wealthiest in our society and restore opportunity.

It is a politicized issue. The Republican party has become essentially the Republican party of one person and I don’t want to find myself in a place where I am validating bad behavior.
