NGL kinda mixed feelings on the whole dnc dark money thing
Like on one hand party support of independent media is one of the really strong and dangerous things about the right wing, both through money and connections. A little bit of that for the left would probably be good, and from what I've seen at least some of the people they gave offers to were decent influencers or at the very least not like actually evil.
The problem is the execution was so bad, I think if it was a lot more transparent to the public, less restrictive on their speech, they could actually talk about it, etc. would have made this a much better project. The same kind of sketchy, backroom dealings with insane NDAs like the right does just don't work with the left, people care about trust and truth too much lol
Every person on that list was a pro-Israel Zionist DNC shill who got paid to do genocide propgaganda. The contract had extreme censorship conditions and they were basically limited to spreading establishment DNC messaging. And not allowed to criticize Dems.
They are not good people or good influencers at all. They are evil sellouts and you should never listen to anything they say.
