Not a counter argument, but things might be very different with Ben Wikler leading thr DNC.

this point, basically

I agree with this. But I have another question. How much money do they really need to be effective? At a certain point, it’s just bloat and going to consultants.

That’s probably all true but I also don’t think he’s been as creative as he could be or as good at messaging as Dems need right now.

There’s no leader. Literally no one is in charge. Lots of role players but no one leading the ship.

It’s Martin big-time. We needed the reality and enthusiasm of Ben Wikler. bsky.app/profile/newb...

The number of people who know who either of them are is vanishingly small.

Agree. Inclined to go with Democratic leadership is actively demotivating their base to the extent that even well-off DNC donors (who would be expected to be on average less harmed by Trump’s policies) are unhappy.

Agree. I actually think it’s a figure-head unnecessary position that maybe needs to vanish. But that will never happen.
