I am a moderate democrat who was no real fan of AOC or Bernie. HC fan. Fuck that. To me it’s no longer Left v Center. It’s fighter V Collaborator. AOC and Bernie are leading the fight. I stopped all money to DNC. Not until they take the gloves off. Will give directly to the fighters. This is no time for weaklings. I don’t care who you are: Liz Cheney or AOC. You fight I am with you. Chuck and Nancy move aside.
Ken Martin is good and he believes in building the party back from the ground up. Which means us. He is in this fight and unfortunately it cannot be done without money.
That is the dirty not so secret too many on the left refuse to acknowledge. Everyone wants money out of politics, but until we get a new SCOTUS it ISN'T. GOING .TO. HAPPEN. Even if we had large majorities in Congress who wrote campaign finance bills with real teeth and a Dem president who signed them, those laws would immediately face legal challenge, land at SCOTUS, and this court would strike them down. Again and again and again.
That is our reality and we need to we face it—to acknowledge we need big donor money no matter how distasteful that is—until we either pack SCOTUS or they die/retire and are replaced.
Right before the vote I sent the DNC a message and said I would not provide any more donations if Chuck succeeded in helping Trump. As a person in their 60s, it’s time for younger leaders.
