“In a surprise vote the DNC has chosen Rich Uncle Moneybags as their new leader! Many are confused as he not only wasn’t in the running, he also is a fictional character. The DNC has responded: We wished to chose someone who properly reflects our values.”
I think Rich Uncle Moneybags is too young to be considered for such an important position in DNC leadership.
Rich Uncle should wait his turn, and the position should really go to Great-Great-Grandpa Moneybags. he’s been in a coma for 20 years but other than that he’s in excellent health and has a vision that will lead the party forward into a new era of fundraising telegrams and victory over the Whig party.
Yeah I don’t trust these fucks. I didn’t before but I still don’t now.
part of the change that needs to be made is to start incorporating organizations and groups that have actual local presence in to the planning structure, and stop relying on consultant groups who have little to no direct connections to people on the ground. Groups that do something in communities and are active beyond just the election cycle, something along the lines of food banks, unions, and non profits that do actual material good for people, not just write white papers.
They have much more trust, and much better understanding of what the needs and concerns are, rather than people who’s main source of information on issues is opinion pieces in nationally published “news”.
Yeah. The thing is, that’s a lot more hard, and you don’t get to spend time with cushy people who will give you big cushy piles of money. It’s just all these scruffy people, with all of their troublesome problems.
Would be nice if those cushy piles of money got in to the hands of the local orgs doing material good. Might convince people that the party isn’t just there to Hoover up money based on fear.
