    Translation: Democrats will blame anyone but themselves, even for their own problems.

    Take a look at “fundraising” sometime. It’s such a fucking scam… any money “gobbled up” is laundered and pocketed money.

    Who hired the consultants? Hmmmm I wonder who hired the consultants for the Democrats. Oh well, I guess it will always be a mystery.

    Democrats “those darn consultants gobbled up all of our money! Don’t forget to donate! Consultants are expensive and I must hire them… why yes, I do own a consulting firm”. ~Omar’s husband, political consultant (this is not a joke, her husband is a political consultant)

    What, umm, what is the possible basis for calling it the consulting class? This is not a socio-economic strata, it’s a job/ unfortunate knock-on of citizens united, not an economic class. Is using the term ‘class’ the new hotness cause of ‘Epstein Class’? That which is itself an attempt to distance the bourgeoisie from the ‘bad apples’ (or make them all bad apples, depending who’s doing the using)

    Another day, another opinion piece complaining about what Jamie Harrison did 2021- 2024, and ignoring everything that changed since the DNC didn’t have to take Biden/harris’ pick like 2021…

    Jamie Harrison’s only claim to fame was raising a record amount of money from wealthy donors, but still losing to Lindsey fucking Graham.

    The current DNC clearly isn’t planning on doing that, because it already dumped all that money on state parties over the last 20 months instead of saving it for a blitz right now.

    The issue the author is complaining about, was solved 3 months after the 2024 election…

    It was valid back then, but pretending it still exists weeks before the midterms is crazy. But I guess after a progressive wave it’s going to make even less sense to say this shit.

      What’s also funny is that the consulting class are absolutely fleecing the Republicans right now. The Rs have 2:1 spending advantage and it’s barely showing because they bought ads too late, which made them more expensive, and the ads they are showing are lazy and/or dumb shit like Talifreako and They/Them!
