I just don't understand why people thought the DNC wasn't going to resist fundamentally being changed , by Bernie  .
Both Bernie and Hillary signed an agreement to give a portion of the money their campaigns raised to the DNC .
  Hillary raised a metric fuckton of money and gave the DNC 430 million . Bernie didnt raise any money through that agreement , he did grass roots and gave them nothing .
  Do you not see the problem ?

Interesting. I suppose that is an angle that I wasn't aware of. So, did Bernie make commitments that he didn't keep, or his donations didn't fund the DNC, because they were small dollar, grass roots donations?

Or are you saying he had obligations to do fund raising event type shit for the DNC, and he didn't deliver?

Either way, this actually is a good point against Bernie.

In 2015 the DNC was is major debt carried over after Obamas 2012 campaign. Bernie relied on grassroots donations, he didnt try to leverage big donors to bail out the cash strapped dnc.

The money Hillary gave to the dnc came with strings attached, because in exchange for keeping the dnc afloat, Clinton's campaign demanded joint authority over dnc staffing, budgeting, data, and communications.

It essentially forced a faustian bargain with Hillary Clinton, where after the election it was revealed the DNC had fundamentally compromised its primary neutrality.

Memo Reveals Details of Hillary Clinton-DNC Deal

In exchange for Hillary for America's (HFA) helping the cash-strapped DNC raise money, the party committee agreed "that HFA personnel will be consulted and have joint authority over strategic decisions over the staffing, budget, expenditures, and general election related communications, data, technology, analytics, and research.

She endorsed Mike rodgers which is as close as declaring herself a republican as you can get without making the final step in paperwork.

Fetterman did a Freudian slip and called himself a republican somewhat recently..

These social media posts aged like milk:





She was on Anderson Cooper this evening and gave the most mealy-mouthed response imaginable, trying to play both sides and pretend she’s still a member of the democratic party.

The voters in Texas legalized marijuana via ballot measure, and then the state legislature made it illegal again.

She got 37 million from aipac, and some will be insane enough to say that doesnt sway someone.

Don't believe your lying eyes

So Haley Stevens got more from Aipac than the UAE spent lobbying in the US for all of 2022.

UAE spent about 32 million a year lobbying between 2020 and 2022.

Haley got 36 million from AIPAC for the primary against abdul.

There's plenty of lobbyist about, fact is, AIPAC spends the most doing it.
