Let me re-iterate. Calls from Establishment to move away from small-dollar donors is a slap in the face to all who want a better Democratic party.

Why I’m calling for ban on PAC & lobbyist money and for the Democratic party to reject corporate PACs.

1. Take the damn money, get elected, and tell the PACs to fuck off.

2. Overturn Citizens United, not one cent in corporate donations.

3. Publicly fund elections.

4. No more individual donations greater than $500.

Yes, especially after #Musk ‘s money bought our elections (and much more). And then there is this:

It HAS to be done. Most people don’t get this. This isn’t just a good idea—we literally CANNOT have a democracy again unless we do this.

Make it party policy right now, Ro. Get that fight started, and make it public.

Hey @rokhanna.bsky.social we all agree

It should not be legal to perform bribery!

"move away from small-dollar donors" - as if Hakeem Jeffries wasn't just in Silicon Valley begging big money donors to keep the cash flowing.

Where is the evidence that this is even true? A report with "sources say" is not a report at all.

We aren't poor (here) just struggling, fearing a big vet bill, a loss of work even tho' retired. I donate a lot, small bills.
Remember, if one million people donate $1 each, that's $1million. Centrist dems need to be replaced w fresh faces, ideas, & FIGHT. Sick of the BS. So sick of the BS

Agree completely. That was the goal since 2016 with Bernie leading the Progressive movement. There are currently too few Progressives, number some few dozen. We need them to become the majority. Make no mistake, we can't expect the Establishment to change, we must replace them.

You are a voter at the DNC, make it happen. If we continue to follow Democrat strategists, we will LOOSE. We will lose AGAIN. Run from the strategists. RUN RUN RUN! Democrats keep losing but keep reelecting loser House minority leaders and Senate leaders. All losers.

Can we stop listening to the “establishment?” Their mindset literally lost to a 34 time felon that tried to overthrow the government. People clearly want to vote for something different.

aetherclaw.bsky.social•5 hours ago

it's good that you acknowledge this & are trying to do something about it. though honestly over the past several decades it's seemed to of been proved time and time again that the Democratic party is too far gone with corruption and corporate influence. we need to build up leftist 3rd parties.

lol you're aligned with Elon. If you want stupid people reading this, go back to Twitter.

clbirds.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Get Elon out of our government

And fire the goddamn consultants. Parasites.

Not like we get anything out of donating our money to you guys. None of you fight for us.

arlentsao.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Well, some 25 Progressives can't bring change when the establishment is still 80% of the Democratic Party.

tom1970.bsky.social•8 hours ago

The Republican party manages when we have the majority. We are done with excuses. This shit is gonna put us all in work camps.

arlentsao.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Not making any excuses. The Republicans completely transformed into MAGA very easily. The Democratic Party is having this battle between Progressives and Corporatists. The war is very long so it means we aren't going to see the needed changes anytime soon. I'm sick and tired of it too.

tom1970.bsky.social•8 hours ago

We don't let them gaslight us. We aren't being told anything we didn't already know. Their cowardice will be our downfall.

arlentsao.bsky.social•8 hours ago

I wish more voters would wake up from the gaslighting the Corporate Democrats use to keep the voters from voting for their own interests. If enough people wake the damn up, we could reform the damn Party to represent people.

tom1970.bsky.social•9 hours ago

If it's that bad it's time to be honest with us.
