Something something enjoy your republican overlords for the rest of time.
Seriously what the fuck is the democratic party doing anymore. It seriously feels like the second Obama left they collectively forgot what the fuck they were doing.
The people running the show since Obama left are the ones that are still pissed he beat Hillary in 08.
Instead of reshaping the DNC, Obama ignored it and Hillary's people have had a hold of it except the brief few months Donna Brazil got in. And since she went public with all the shit they'd been doing, we haven't seen anything else for 8 years.
They know exactly what they're doing won't win elections.
They know exactly what will win elections instead.
But that's not what fills their campaign coffers, so that's not what we'll get from them.
The goals of Dem voters and Dem leadership haven't been aligned for decades.
What's the point of filling campaign coffers if it doesn't help you win?
When one candidate's campaign can take control of the party (via signed agreements!) more than a year before she's nominated as the party's candidate, while keeping that secret, because the party was in debt and the party chair Debbie Wasserman-Whateverfuckher let it happen -
That's a lot more than just raising money. That's deploying a strategy to exert total control, no matter what the constituents want and what the primary procedure requires, AND being dishonest about it the whole way.
Besides, aren't we tired of the "having a lot of money means you can do what you want" approach to things?
