    the people who advised Hillary’s 2016 campaign were still advising Harris’ 2024 campaign.

    And still running the DNC.

    Biden and Kamala inherited everything from Hillary, the people behind the scenes are the same, and are still likely listening to Hillary

    She’s like our Dick Cheney

      I’d almost believe that Hillary ordered her people to sabotage the campaign if it wasn’t the exact same “centrist” message the establishment Dems have been pushing since Carter.

        She wouldn’t have needed too.

        The party burns money at an insane rate, and only gets money thru the “victory fund” which (I’m not even exaggerating) is money laundering.

        They’ve been doing it since 2015, it’s the status quo now.

        Whoever has the keys to that donation machine is the DNC, because they control the money. And because the reason the VF can take so much,his it’s taking the limit for state parties they defacto control the state party. If a state doesn’t join the agreement, the DNC doesn’t support that state. We only have numbers for 2016, but those states average less than 0.5% of what the DNC was supposed to have paid.

        We’ll see what happens at the 2/2/25 DNC chair election, there’s actually a decent chance we keep someone good. But if they get another money hungry neoliberal in there, we have to accept the people who run the DNC no longer represent Dem voters and they’re unwilling to listen. We’ll have three years before the next primary starts winding up, and it may be finally time to push a third party.
