Tom, the DNC has tin ears, we need a revolution in the D NC, throw out the old guard.
The DNC is a coterie, a cabal, of old farts, they have made a nice living off being lobbyists, strategists,, analysts, MSNBC pays them $10,000 an appearance. They are the establishment and they are not about to change, especially when they are connected …
Tom, the DNC has tin ears, we need a revolution in the D NC, throw out the old guard.
The DNC is a coterie, a cabal, of old farts, they have made a nice living off being lobbyists, strategists,, analysts, MSNBC pays them $10,000 an appearance. They are the establishment and they are not about to change, especially when they are connected to coporate donors, and have a rollodex with names of wealthy donors.
They drive BMW's,. Mercedes or Tesla's, live in fine homes in safe neighborhoods in Georgtown or Silver Springs, MD, their kids go to fine private academies, they attend charities and cocktail socials and hobnob with the rich, the famous the powerful.
If you want to get ahead in their world, to run for office, you have to work your way up, pay your dues, stand in line, be patient and loyal, earn the creds, in other wrords act like a race horse, until they feel it is time to move you to the starting gate.
The Republicans are not so encumbered, they want to win, nor reward loyalty and mediocrity. They pluck a B grade actor, who can deliver lines, an immature man boy, with an impish grin, an Austrian with a thick accents, but name recognition, a pervert made famous because of a reality shoe
They don't choose tried and true loyalists who have been plodding around the paddock, accumulating creds and waiting their turn. The select barn burners, that will say anything, to get votes, and do what they damn well please after elected.
The Dems need to fight them on their grounds and call them out for what they are, liars, thieves, phonies,but they are too good, because they take the high ground., and lose.
No argument here. Elie Mystal addressed the subject forcefully in The Nation’s post today, and I agree completely. He and Thom Hartmann are both required regular reading, especially if Democrats would actually like to survive.
Elie Mystal one of my favorites,he doesn't self censor
I searched to see if he had his own substack. He does not. but I found this
MSNBC and CNN refuse to pay him. People believe MSNBC is liberal,it is not it only goes so far. it is engaged in market segmentation and it's market is ageing boomers that are not full on bonkers, Its ad placements tell the story, Medicare disAdvantage, pharmaceutical things that appeal to my generation.
A seat in Congress must be very rewarding and remunerative, because Congress critters, Rep and Dem) sell their very soul for a seat and to keep it. Take Joni Ernst a retired Lt Col During the Iraq War, she served as the commanding officer of the 1168th Transportation Company in Kuwait and later commanded the 185th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion at Camp Dodge, the Iowa Army National Guard's largest battalion., I am positive that she can't stand Pete Hegseth and would not vote for him, but Trump threatens to primary her, and she caves, her political career,her seat in the senate is more important than than he national securiy of the United States. Totally disgusting, and then there are the Democratic sell outs, oh they will "resist" until they can't, then they too will kneel on the hassock.,

The DNC is what happened to Bernie.
WHY is everyone so willing to give our country away. The real enemy within meets in Congress.
