    Okay this was true until the DNC leadership election, but the current leadership leans just left enough that they could go either way.

      Right, which is why Ken Martins first act was to put the most centrist, business friendly, working with the far right focussed, uber zionist rebuttal person he could find to Trumps state of the union, Slotkin. he had to prostrate himself at the AIPAC altar first thing. Turning over a new leaf at the DNC, clearly. Things are all so different now. And look at how the new DLC is embracing progressives so warmly right now.

      Except the chair has stated he is fine with bribes donations from “good billionaires”, so we all know it’s going to be the status quo again with them.

        I mean if you believe in your own moral integrity and the work you’re doing it makes perfect sense to be willing in principle to accept billionaire money. Now I’m not saying he will or won’t be more of the same, but unless you’re a hardline leftist (which I don’t think anyone is expecting Ken Martin to be) the only correct answer to “will you accept billionaire money” is “yes”.

          The DNC’s issue isn’t a lack of money, they didn’t lose because they didn’t buy enough interviews with podcasters.

          They lost because outside of Bernie and the Squad, they had no ethics, basically stood for nothing, and at times outright accepted bribes to support genocide.

          The only correct answer is to grow a spine and say “no”.
