Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The DNC is the National party...
What do you think they'd be doing about Congress members?
They collect the money from pacs and such, and distribute it to campaigns for people running for congress listed under the Democrats party....
It doesn't matter which state you are in.
You're talking about the "victory fund" Hillary started....
They're doing the opposite now, where they're giving all the money they hoarded back to state parties.
And that can be used for state level campaigns in the general. But they're not going to giving money straight to individual state level campaigns anymore.
The response to decades of neoliberals fuckery isn't to do the same fuckery back against them. It's going back to how shit used to work, and that's more than enough to get the neoliberals out of office.
Quick edit:
To be clear, I agree that old strategy was counterproductive.
It's just that we've already fixed it.
People just don't know because MSM wants the average voter disengaged from the Dem party in hopes it depresses dem primary turnout enough a neoliberals can squeak thru.
Please don't fall for it, we'd be wasting our best chance since before Jimmy Carter to get the party back on track
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but is the DNC not collecting all of the donations from these pacs and distributing them? Let's say Jefferies:

Or are you just saying it usually goes through the DCCC
Edit: I assume that is what you meant, issue there is the DCCC's current leader is one that needs to go: Suzan DelBene
Why do you think I'm talking about the DCCC?
Why are you being up Jefferies?
I'm explicitly talking about the DNC, so is the article...
Even on your first reply, you explicitly said "DNC"
