Trump always chickens out — we’re just bringing the tacos to match,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement on the food truck’s message. “Instead of realizing his tariff chaos is wrecking the economy, Trump continues to drag America towards more economic pain, and the rest of the world sees Trump for exactly what he is: a chicken.”
Still waiting on people to wise up that Martin is actually legit.
Maybe so but the majority of the rest of the Democrats have no fucking clue what they’re doing and actively undermine anything the minority of Democrats and progressives do to effectively oppose these fascists.
Decades of neoliberals shenigans have conflated “the party” with individual elected representatives
That was never how it was supposed to work
We just took a big step in fixing that. Martin doesn’t play favorites, the winner of the primary is who the party will support, and they’re not gonna pick sides till a primary is over.
The only reason a lot of those elected representatives are even still in office is the party fought off primary challengers for decades protecting them. They can’t win fair primaries, even with the money advantage
You’re one of their staffers, aren’t you? It’s easy to see really, talked right past me without getting a thing I said. Attitudes like that are why the Dems keep losing slam-dunk elections. All you’re saying is how well they’re building the machine, without any mention of what this machine is for and what they’re going to do with it.
Like, to start at the beginning we have to cover the “victory fund” that started in 2016.
See, in 2008 Obama bucked tradition by ignoring the DNC and refusing to nominate a chair. This allowed neoliberals to maintain control, but with Obama not working with the DNC they were broke by the time he left.
Hilary’s primary campaign started paying the DNC’s bills, and in return they got approval of everything the DNC did. They also greenlit the “victory fund” which allowed someone to bundle donations to the DNC, a candidate, and state party all at their donation limits.
But all the money went to the DNC. Which shared with Hillary/Biden/Kamala. In 2016 I think it was 1% of the money went back to the states. In the past the states got those “overflow” donations that let Dems be more competitive in purple and red districts.
So for about a decade that money has dried up and that’s how telubyhave majorities.
Paying that money back to the state parties allows them to start working on voter outreach and engaging with voters, hearing their issues and explaining how Dems can fix it, if we get the votes.
It’s not about the fucking money dude! No one gives a shit, you’ve got it bassakwards. You’re so wrapped up in getting enough to beat the other team that you’re completely missing what your voters actually want. Love them or hate them, Obama, Bernie, and even Trump showed you guys that if you talk to people, if you speak their language, and (in Trump’s case pretend to) address their concerns, that other shit won’t matter.

The dude knows what he’s doing

They know exactly what they are doing: stroking off the corporate money spigots.
Takes easy shots for internet points while maintaining the status quo and not trying for any actual improvements
The Dems are legit and got it figured out now!

That better for you?
An article saying they’re taking in more private money and giving it to their state reps? Without any mention of policy or government planning?
No actually, can’t really put my finger on why, but that really doesn’t do it for me.
No, to state parties…
The state parties that neoliberals spent almost a decade bankrupty thru the victory fund.
Like, it’s not writing checks to politicians, it’s paying staffers to work starting now instead of waiting till six months before an election.
Turning those into full time permanent positions, and a venue for an average working class person to become involved in politics.
I’m sorry you don’t understand how this is a big deal, so feel free to keep asking questions. It might help someone else who sees it too.

Right…
And the state parties pay for the infrastructure that allows those things to happen…
You think Bernie and AOC foot the bill for those huge town halls? The state parties pay for that.
But it makes no sense for them to go to Cali, and the red and purple states can’t afford to support it…
Except now they can.
Like, you have the right complaints about what was wrong, you just haven’t noticed it’s been addressed.
