    Major Democratic donors have withheld money this year amid skepticism about the party’s direction, while the small-dollar donors who have long been a source of strength are not growing nearly enough to make up the gap.

    No one ever writes “small-dollar donors withhold money amid skepticism about the party’s direction”

    The “money problem” was the “Victory Fund” stealing money from state parties, that’s why Republicans have the House/Senate.

    The DNC is reinvesting the giant pile of money the past DNC stole back to the states. It’s literally the largest reinvestment from DNC to state parties that has ever fucking happened.

    For a decade we put all our eggs in the presidency basket, because the goal for neoliberals was a neoliberal president that wouldn’t have both the House and Senate so there would be an excuse to not do anything.

    A presidential election doesn’t need to cost over a billion dollars.

    Billionaires not liking the new DNC is a good thing.

    And there is zero reason for small donors to be giving to the DNC right now.

    That’s not even getting into how the RNC donations are just bribes.

    This article is a great example of how scared the billionaires are tho, and how they’re going to use their media companies to sabotage Dems even tho they claim to hate Trump. They’d still prefer him to an actual progressive.

    I don’t fucking care about the DNC’s money problem. At this point, I will donate to specific progressive politicians, and that is it. The establishment and the national org fucked us one time too many. I’m fucking done.
