I'll never understand why people think the people running the DNC aren't total fucking liars that will say anything for money.

Beating trump isn't hard.

But beating him while grifting a billion dollar campaign funded by the people your voting base hates is very difficult.

Unfortunately when confronted with the choice, the DNC has shown us three elections straight that they'll always pick money over votes.

So we either need to leave the party or replace leadership.

If we don't do either 2028 will be exactly the same as the last three elections.

Find your local/state Dems, get involved with them, figure out who the conservatives are and replace them... It's not hard, like 10 people vote in those elections... They are the ones who elect DNC leadership, take the local and state parties, take the DNC

Lol, you haven't heard what the "victory fund" really is yet, have you?

The state parties have to toe the line, or they're abandoned.

Terrible strategy if the plan is getting Dems in office, great move if you're blocking any real progress in exchange for ~~bribes~~ donations.

They'll be abandoned by the big corporate donors, but that's the point... They need a message so popular that real people will support them with money and votes

We just started skipping the step where we pick a candidate people want to vote for, and jump straight to fundraising and then never get around to focusing on using the money to get votes.

The modern DNC literally only cares about money and it keeps letting trump get elected
