    but that isn’t going to do fuck-all for the people already in office or even those running if they are still corpo shills.

    They’re not the party…

    The DNC leadership change is a nice start but they don’t set policy decisions or “whip votes” as far as I’m aware.

    And the ones in leadership positions got there because the DNC would fuck over anyone that went against them.

    That’s no longer the case. They don’t have the party behind them anymore, they’ll struggle to stay in office let alone keep their leadership positions.

    It’s not just happening with the DNC, it’s happening at state levels all over. Even in red and purple states, the DNC is funnelling all that money stolen from state parties under the Victory Fund back to the state parties so we can contest every race.

    The only reason Republicans have a chance at the House, is we just gave up on any race that we couldn’t 100% win

        Under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement, each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month, a $5,000 per month increase over the last agreement, and Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month. The combined investments total a monthly transfer of more than $1 million from the DNC to state parties – the committee’s largest investment into Democratic state parties in history.

        But more importantly than that, the end of the victory fund.

          I meant I’ll believe it when I see them putting forward meaningfully progressive candidates in polls.

              Fair point. I’m not American, and haven’t delved deeply into it. They do seem to have been implicated in ousting a few progressive candidates in the past, but yeah, I may be misunderstanding.

          It seems like such an obvious thing to do, it’s crazy they weren’t doing this previously. All we can do is hope for the best now

            It wasn’t just that they weren’t doing it before.

            The Victory Fund allowed a donor to “bundle” donations to like, the Alabama Dem party and a bunch of others, but it would go straight to the DNC to be used for the presidential campaign.

            In 2016 when it started we later found out as little as 1% of the state money went to the actual state, and often so late that it didn’t matter. That’s not even getting into how they’ve been using that in presidential primaries too.

            You remember the noise about “Biden’s war chest”? That’s what it was, money stolen from small state parties where it was desperately needed.

            It’s literally the only reasona Republican House is possible.

            People need to realize how bad the last DNC was to appreciate how big of an improvement a non biased DNC is.

            Progressives dont need help in a primary, just a fair shot. And we’re gonna get it. Which is why billionaire owned media won’t talk about it and try make it seem like Pete, Cumo, and Jeffries are the only ones doing anything, even they they haven’t and won’t do shit.

            People need to pay attention to this shit.
