So sad but predictable.

The Democrats seem to be so comfortable with how they are now, basically a fundraising entity that keeps deploying tons of cash to lose elections. I asked a well informed friend about Ken Martin beating Ben Wikler; he said "the vendors are happy" 😕

#dncchair meeting - tear up the agenda tomorrow. Don't cancel the vote but hold a press conference on the shit that's going down. Don't wait on Jeffries and Schumer. The media isn't going to cover it until someone treats it like an emergency.
This is to the organization called “The Democrat Party” in the United States: I will continue to #VoteBlue as long as it “makes sense” to do so. But know that you will not get a dime from me until this current lot of MAGA-creeps are gone…gone…gone from positions of power. Every day you all in DC need to stand up and speak out against tyranny #DNC #DNCChair Be loud. Be a thorn in DJT’s side. Be relentless. Be fearless.
My big big roundup of the #dncchair and all other DNC officer races. The elections are this Saturday
