Wanted to make sure you saw this, John. Twelve Democratic candidates for president took the debate stage a few days ago: some faltered, some soared. No surprise, our progressive movement was challenged and mocked once more with doubtful questions and attacks on Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and free college for all from some candidates, with others taking a bold defense. At this stage in the race, America needs to know where we stand and who we support to take on Trump in 2020. Make your voice heard by taking our Presidential Pulse Poll right now.

Things are heating up, John.
Last night’s Democratic debate showed which presidential candidates are standing out as crowd favorites and which ones are falling behind.
Last night, I was at the debate representing you and every DFA member on ABC News Live doing pre-and-post analysis as the progressive voice countering Republicans, corporate interests, and establishment Democrats.
To me, a few things stuck out from last night: Elizabeth Warren was on fire and Bernie Sanders delivered strong moments, while Joe Biden seemed to fade into the background.
Now we want to know who you’re supporting in the 2020 Democratic primary, John. Click here to vote in our 2020 Presidential Pulse Poll >>
We're deep in the race to determine who will be the Democratic nominee that will take down Trump. It won't be good enough to just be anti-Trump, our candidates need to sell a big bold vision for America.
Voters need to see a candidate who will fight for them and tackle healthcare, climate change, and guns. A progressive who can represent, engage, and mobilize the New America Majority of people of color and progressive white voters that Democrats will need to win.
There are a number of great candidates to choose from, many of them bringing big exciting ideas to the table, but only one can win.
Who do you think has what it takes? Did you like Warren’s fierce spirit as she defended her bold ideas? Did you cheer when Bernie explained his plan for Medicare-for-All? Did you agree with Kamala Harris that women’s rights are an important part of the healthcare debate? Or Cory Booker when he reminded all of us about what’s at stake in this election? Or did another candidate grab your attention?
Make sure your voice is heard before our poll closes! Here’s the link to take our Presidential Pulse Poll right now >>

Love Andrew Yang and his plan for universal basic income? Or Julian Castro's challenge to Trump on caging children at the border while allowing ISIS fighters to go free in Syria?
Maybe you support Tom Steyer, the newest candidate to make the stage, or maybe you support someone who didn't make the stage at all.
Now's your time to make sure we hear your voice. We want to know where you stand.
Thanks for taking the time! I can't wait to see the results.
