Really need someone to finish the sentence and explain where our money should come from if it’s not small dollar donors

How many brain worms do you need to have to think that declaring war on small dollar donors and activist groups is gonna help you win elections?

Federal and state matched campaign funds only. Citizens United destroyed the last guard rails of the oligarchs and it’s been downhill since.

They really going to go for more middle of the road between the Nazis and people who want universal healthcare? 🤦‍♂️

thelongshot2112.bsky.social•7 days ago

These "third way" folk need to be purged from the party.

mmchol.bsky.social•7 days ago

Gun shows

lisalove420.bsky.social•7 days ago

Right?
They may as well have said "rural white men". Yes, plenty of liberals/progressives/leftists own firearms, but we're not "into" guns in that way. Lol

jess-murray.bsky.social•7 days ago

I don't know what else to do but ignore these dumb*sses and just keep getting loud on the phone to reps, to protests, postcards, community-building, etc. Wish the Democratic party was going to wise up, but not holding my breath. We'll save ourselves, w/ Indivisible and more, w/ or without them. : )

beeleaf.bsky.social•7 days ago

The parties only care about being in power; they don’t care about us.

The right would never have been this successful without the left. The left doesn’t keep them accountable because they don’t want to be held accountable either

3 places you’ll never find me:
Gun show
Tailgate
Church

jennifer597.bsky.social•7 days ago

I live in the south. When I moved here 20 years ago my rep and one senator and the governor were Democrats. Now 100% R because dems stopped connecting with the working class and people in rural areas. This document is not all wrong.

@kenmartin.bsky.social If this is your strategy, just dissolve the party.

inkandlight.bsky.social•7 days ago

So they want to become the … Republican party?

chibimitchi.bsky.social•7 days ago

Who is the “far left”? Ppl who want things that every other developed nation has?

stinkyswampbeast.bsky.social•6 days ago

Correct.

theeagles.bsky.social•7 days ago

Insanity continues! Congress is on fire and no one knows how to put out the fire!

stinkyswampbeast.bsky.social•6 days ago

They dont even THINK to actually ask the people that failed to turn out why they didnt turn out, do they? They dont even THINK to ask why people who voted for trump and now regret their vote why they thought the rapist conman was better than the dem?

greerchicago.bsky.social•7 days ago

Imitating the opponent seems like a losing strategy

kcobb61.bsky.social•7 days ago

These so-called "moderates" always have the same advice and playbook, never changing: "Be more like Republicans!" and "Blame the progressives!" It never works, but they don't seem to care.

virginiam.bsky.social•7 days ago

These Third Way folks sound like grifters. Or possibly James Carville.

equivalentkem.bsky.social•7 days ago

Are these people TRYING to sink the Democrats?

jettdash.bsky.social•7 days ago

gun shows? really?

sabrinarj.bsky.social•7 days ago

I would like to know that as well.

quedebijoux.bsky.social•7 days ago

Those pesky real people with their real problems really need to go away.

martinthebard.bsky.social•7 days ago

Democrats just love losing at this point. Literally incapable of learning anything.

equality-for-all.bsky.social•6 days ago

the other head-scratcher-GUN SHOWS? REALLY? who are these people, they sound like maggot trolls

greenbean04.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m a small Democrat donor and this position pisses me off! Screw them! They will be getting no more of my hard earned dollars! WTF!

charlene411.bsky.social•7 days ago

wendymnj.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is such crap.

matthiasbb.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good point. Isn’t it better to have a grass roots big-tent movement. After all our tent is getting bigger by the hour. Let’s simply rally around defeating fascism and accept all the help we can get. The Widdow’s might is the heart and soul of our party.

carlagmail.bsky.social•7 days ago

mattroan.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think we all know what this is code for. Consultants like campaigns flush with corporate money they can skim win or lose.

margie-cook.bsky.social•7 days ago

Who were the moderate dems at this meeting? Who do we contact to say, this is so far off the mark of what we need dems to be doing right now?

sbwdesign.bsky.social•7 days ago

These were "moderate democrats"? Really?
We really need this emoji: 🤣

matteofights.bsky.social•7 days ago

Gun shows?

wat3rm370n.bsky.social•7 days ago

Absolutely bizarre. Gun shows is really out there. I just wonder what they mean by far left even... maybe Joe Biden!!

The “good billionaires”?

dontinnovate.bsky.social•7 days ago

Are they finally coming out in favor of publicly funded campaigns and taking all the money out of politics???? /sarcasm

bluedotteacher.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well guess they do not need my money anymore so they can stop sending me letters begging for it @democrats.org

revkristinej.bsky.social•7 days ago

Trying to win by becoming the other party is a terrible strategy.

etienneguy.bsky.social•7 days ago

I guarantee you the idiot bros from pod save america were involved in this shit.

jenmacy.bsky.social•7 days ago

So they just want to be Republicans?

joshooaj.com•7 days ago

Right? Would love to hear them explain how a large number of “small dollar donors” don’t represent the broader electorate?

unitefordemocracy.bsky.social•7 days ago

Pretty weak not wanting to take small donations from average Americans, the voters they need to win. Dems need to break through the Fox disinformation sphere. Let's be strong and confrontational against the fascist power-mad thugs that view average people as subhuman.

jameson1776.bsky.social•7 days ago

If they want to go and be Republicans, let them. The left needs a party.

If the Democrats lose the left they will have nothing.

madashellinaz.bsky.social•7 days ago

What a load of shit.

jeffreyclail.com•7 days ago

They are going to become Republicans. More Liz and dick Cheney

jackbwuzhere.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'd like to know how they got, "Fight Less" from everything we've been saying.

klo2025.bsky.social•7 days ago

They don’t need small donor money because they’ve got it “rigged” just like Donald said he would.

vltak.bsky.social•7 days ago

This actually makes me sick

catkins.bsky.social•5 days ago

Unfortunately it gives the vibe that they don’t really understand the people they represent. I mean, if you have to have a bullet point that says ‘get out of elite circles’ and meet the rabble, that tells me more than anything on that list.
They need an umbrella and not a thousand silos.

sfh65.bsky.social•7 days ago

If @kenmartin.bsky.social DNC do this shit, the democratic party will dissolve. This is an internal right wing attack within the democratic party. PROGRESSIVE platforms are POPULAR. We lost womens rights bc democrats used women as political pawns. Always promising & never delivering. Rahm=FAKEDEM

wat3rm370n.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's so obvious.

shocko606.bsky.social•7 days ago

Well, that’s one way to lose.

michaelrosino.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oh you know the sources.., don’t make
Us say it… -them probably

day80.bsky.social•7 days ago

They don’t want more elections! They r getting ready to stay in power like any other authoritarian! Wake up!

fredsaidwhat.bsky.social•7 days ago

As long they keep up the all's normal we're bipartisan bullshit, they won't have to worry about my small dollar donations

yukongold3.bsky.social•6 days ago

Leah, how do we handle the discrepancy between the need for small dollar donations and the extreme annoyance we all have with unending grift emails and texts from Dems telling us they can’t do anything unless I send them $5?
