Fundraising costs gobble up most of the funds raised. Billions are spent on TV ads that have virtually no impact. Candidates may win or lose—but the consulting class always wins.
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!
