Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

They're not the party...
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
I'll believe it when I see it in action

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