First, that’s total bullshit. State parties ACTIVELY and REPEATEDLY beg the mother ship for help and resources. So you don’t know what you’re talking about. Second, Who the fuck cares what the state parties want? DNC can run ads where it wants and it certainly can publicize races to raise
Montana Dems didn't want "outside" help for Tester because Montana voters are sensitive about that. I couldn't even write letter for him so I donated to Montana-based GOTV instead.
Did the Montana Republican take out of state money? I’m betting he did.
BTW I don't mean that Montana Dems didn't take any out of state or DNC money. I think they just wanted to not be high profile about it. They didn't want letters to GOTV be from other states, for example.
Here's an article about it. Montana is a very red state sadly. Tester was always a bit of a fluke. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
oh probably. I can't remember the guy's name but he was a sleazy creep--had a history of white collar crime and racism. Just the kind of guy Rethugs like.
This is a bizarre thread. For years lefty Dems complained that the DNC was interfering with local choices by putting their fingers on the scales in primaries. Now that the DNC is NOT influencing primaries, some of the same people are complaining that they should be!
Again, NOT comprehending what I posted. I didn’t say ANYTHING about interfering in or controlling the campaigns. I was NOT talking about the DNC talking to voters in a race. My post is about the DNC talking to the REST OF US to encourage us to support a race! Man some people are hard headed.
The state parties care what state parties want.
candidates visibility and support. Your notion that state parties hang up on the DNC is evidence-free nonsense. DNC coordinates with states for major events like POTUS campaign events all the fucking time. They coordinate what candidates will be on the stage & so on. Where there is friction
is when DCCC or DSCC step in and try to force campaigns to do or say things they don’t want. THAT is NOT what I am talking about. I am NOT talking about the heavy-handed bullshit of the Dtrip or DS. I am talking about DNC messaging to national Dems to generate interest in & support of key races
DNC does NOT need permission from a State to let people know that we should all be helping Abbigail Spanberger in VA! What we are doing is not fucking working. So before you shit on a new idea, consider why you resist. Our party is busy doing things it shouldn’t, and avoiding the things that
can and will really help.
The Dems need unity. They must have ONE PLAYBOOK.
Democrat female journalists are toxic if they can't talk back like Kamala. I have not seen one female journalist speak up. There is a reason why they all have on make up & has a communications degree. Kamala has deep anger towards male criminals& if you cozy up to men, you are the problem.
You have a great deal more faith in the DNC than I do. I have come to assume that Dems in general are Evil puppets of the oligarchs until they show me differently. We need an opposition party on our side.
In what way? I have no faith in what the DNC is doing. I am posting about what it SHOULD be doing. And publicly and repeatedly telling Dems across the nation to help key races is what it should be doing.
Fair enough. And I agree with most of what you post here. I am just so disgusted watching the party of FDR having rolled back much of the New Deal over the last 45 years. With a few exceptions (e.g., AOC, Crockett) I see Dems as complicit in the destruction of democracy and beyond redemption.
