    Just donated to his campaign. If you can support and you like the message, I’d encourage that [collective] you do the same.

      Oh I already have. I ain’t rich but I still gave him $30.
      Gonna take a lot to overcome the corporate donors of his opponent who have 10x the cash already.

        You’re a good person and I’ll buy you a drink if we’re ever afforded the opportunity.

          Thank you, I appreciate it. I do try where I can. Especially locally, currently working to get rid of a super corrupt mega libertarian republican by primarying him with a more rational candidate that can actually be talked to.

    We definitely need more politicians like him, who view business leaders with suspicion rather than admiration.

    This is the real worry of business and why it is important to strike down unions early: this is a leader who came from a working class background that will make decisions that improve things for all of us instead of the chosen few. Current politicians are overwhelmingly private school, Ivy League raised individuals who become detached from real work, honest effort, and consequences outside their control. Has any politician ever had to choose between paying rent or fixing a car?

    We need more people like Dan, who grow up knowing what we go through every day.
