Last week's Democratic National Committee meeting illustrated a party trying to stay focused on economic issues while grappling with strong, changing opinions on Israel.
A candidate can not tell a PAC to spend money, or not to spend money.
Similarly, the DNC shouldn’t be coordinating with pacs, and hasn’t been for the last year except to empty the coffers of the VF they inherited back to the state parties the money came from.
But they definitely can’t tell a PAC not to spend money.
The DNC wants to end all PACs, there’s just not a way to do that. Because a PAC could spend on people just to get them “kicked out” of dem.primaries. that 100% would happen, Republicans would immediately jump on that, as would Israel and corporations.
Billionaires are manipulating people into demanding something that is impossible to deliver on, and the idiots falling for it are making it so the things that can be done, don’t have enough time before midterms.
People desperately need to wake the fuck up and realize the reason billionaire owned media suddenly went against the DNC, is because the DNC changed. If the billionaires had changed, they wouldn’t be billionaires anymore.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say here, but it sounds like your argument is that the DnC has no practical method of decreasing the power of PACs, so they shouldn’t try?
I don’t know here nor there on that, but the news cycle right now was more about AIPAC versus other PACs etc. So it was specifically about making a statement about Israel and AIPAC but then homie tried to make it about all PACs but that’s practically impossible. ok fine.
Then don’t make it about PACs and make it about Israel. Israel is a pariah and has been since 2023 and before. You lose elections if they’re on your side and even the rightwing commentariate understands this (see last week’s news breaking down Carlson, Jones, Owens etc… breaking with Trump over Israel). They get it. Everyone hates Israel so if you are trying to win an election, don’t be aligned with Israel.
The point of the motion within the DNC was less about PACs and more about creating distance with Israel.
