    So the Teamsters guy is still committed yeah

    “We can be the voice and be out there with stories about how the budget bill will hurt, and the DNC is a perfect place for doing that,” Weingarten said. “You got to win hearts and minds now, not in October 2026. That’s the kind of thing that we’ve been looking for since January. We have to be a party that wins on the ground.”

    Doesn’t sound like she’s leaving the DNC. Sounds like she’s also pissed off at Martin.

    Huh?

    Two neoliberals superdelegate, at least one pledged for Hillary in 08 after Obama won the primary…

    Both on the committee that didn’t follow DNC rules for the vice chair…

    Same committee that’s been rigging primaries for neoliberals…

    I get why the MSM is trying to lie about this and acting like it’s a bad thing, but I don’t know why so many people are falling for it

    The voting members of the DNC elected this chair because they’re over neoliberalism.

    And neoliberals have never really been fighters, so now lots of them are leaving the DNC.

    Like… This is a good thing.

        The DNC is the National party…

        What do you think they’d be doing about Congress members?

          They collect the money from pacs and such, and distribute it to campaigns for people running for congress listed under the Democrats party…

          It doesn’t matter which state you are in.

            You’re talking about the “victory fund” Hillary started…

            They’re doing the opposite now, where they’re giving all the money they hoarded back to state parties.

            And that can be used for state level campaigns in the general. But they’re not going to giving money straight to individual state level campaigns anymore.

            The response to decades of neoliberals fuckery isn’t to do the same fuckery back against them. It’s going back to how shit used to work, and that’s more than enough to get the neoliberals out of office.

            Quick edit:

            To be clear, I agree that old strategy was counterproductive.

            It’s just that we’ve already fixed it.

            People just don’t know because MSM wants the average voter disengaged from the Dem party in hopes it depresses dem primary turnout enough a neoliberals can squeak thru.

            Please don’t fall for it, we’d be wasting our best chance since before Jimmy Carter to get the party back on track

        It’s like everyone forgot billionaire owned media fucking lies…

        If a billionaire tells you the DNC is fucking up, it’s worth a closer look. Because the goal of billionaires is almost always opposite to the goals of the Dem voting base.

        The Guardian might be “on the left” but that’s using the same metric that would put Coumo “on the left”.

    Well, over 100 reps just allowed fascism to continue. The democratic party is also fascist. The US is finally a fascist state. The circle is complete.

      You’re mad a superdelegate that pledged to Hillary in 08 after Obama won the primary is leaving the DNC?

      To you, that makes the Dem party more like the Republican party?

      Can you clarify why that is, it just doesn’t make sense to me…
