    The consultants running the campaign measure success in dollars raised. That means they only messaged those politically engaged.

      It’s worse than that.

      The current DNC determines who gets leadership positions by who brought the most in

      Bring in 10 million from lifelong Dem voters who show up rain or shine and volunteer?

      Sorry, someone just got 250 million from a fossil fuel corporation to get Dems to be pro-fracking, so now they’re leading the party.

      What’s crazy is so many people defending the DNC on this and insisting we have to keep doing anything the rich ask, even though their money will never get back all the votes being pro-fracking get us.

      It’s not just that either, Sam with border wall, funding genocide, and lots of other shit.

      Both parties cater to the wealthy, because both parties care more about money than votes.
