The DNC has fallen far behind in the cash race. Big donors have pulled back from giving to the party, and small donors are not growing enough to make up the gap.

Disagreement is perfectly fine, but there is no excuse to not support a Democrat candidate that has won the voters, no excuse for not opposing genocide, no excuse for abandoning our Ukrainian allies, no excuse for abandoning our trans communities, no excuse for voting in favor of cabinet picks

If a candidate is supporting genocide, excusing away transpeople's rights, voting for GOP cabinet picks from Trump, and refusing to support Democrats who have won the support of the voting public, then I'd be bold enough to say that that candidate doesn't sound like a Democrat at all to me

Very true, especially with how our current voting system is; every third-party vote in the last election was a win for Trump. It's broken and shouldn't be a two-party system with an electoral college, but you can't fix/improve our Democracy if it no longer exists after a candidate becomes president

The DNC supports candidates running for office at various levels by providing them with resources, They offer training programs for volunteer,staff, help fundraise, set up infrastructure,It would be a insurmountable challenge for a candidate to raise so much money. Why candidates run with a Party.

The DNC takes conservative kids from Ivies, then parachutes them into districts that they know nothing about. They run the campaigns while ignoring the advice of the candidates who are familiar with their districts. The kids look down on the locals as bumpkins. Then they lose and return to school.

The campaign also hires its own staff via the campaign manager. If it was so easy to run a campaign without party support we would have many candidates running unaffiliated. Bernie Sanders is independent, but ran his Presidential campaign with the DNC, it’s easier to get on state ballots.
