What good is vo-ting for somebody who

just throws crumbs to me and you?

Break-ing their cam-paign prom-is-es,

they serve the weal-thy few!

 

De-mand a pri-mary to nom-i-nate

pro-gressive can-di-dates

who’ll take do-na-tions on-ly from 

folks just like me and you.                       

chorus:

The D N Ce-e-e  wants you and me-e-e to just shut up ….. not make a fuss        n’ let ’em keep on robbin’ u-us!                 

verse:

We need some-one who is not a war hawk

To get one we have to be

will-ing to stand up and to make

de-mands on the D N C !

 chorus:

Su-per dele-ga-a-ates ….. e-li-mi-nate

de-moc-ra-cy   for  you and me

em-pow-er-ing the D N Ce-e!

verse:

Ranked choice vo-ting and in-stant run-offs

will im-prove our pri-mar-ies

giv-ing the par-ty’s base more voice

not just the D N C!

 

We’re tired of pri-maries that are rigged and

the D N C’s hea-vy hand.

No more corp’-rate-owned can-di-dates!

THAT’S what we now DEMAND!

                 

RANKED CHOICE PRIMARIES…. NOW!!!
