Phone-throwing drama at the Democratic National Committee
No, seriously, Dems in disarray We really need to pull an 1850s Whig maneuver and replace the Dems with something better, but I really don't think you can do that when fascism is up in your face www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...
Riggsveda22Not once in it does anyone ask why Ken Martin failed, or why the money dried up. 1) Ben Wikler was right there but they chose the old failed ways; 2) When a party uses its base only for fundraising & votes, but gives nothing in return, the base will find other uses for its money.
BPVT16Democrats should ask - what would David Axelrod or James Carville do to restore the party? And then do the opposite.
Dan Angelucci14We could have had Ben Wikler, man
Stephanie King14If Dems clean up in the midterms, it will be IN SPITE OF the party apparatus, not because of
CD Wilsher9As the GOP gets crushed in (and at) the polls, the NYT runs a Dems in Disarray article that's promoted by Bunch because of course.
Don't Say "Enola Gay!"🌈✈8This explains a lot. I still do not understand how Ben Wikler was not voted in. His verve for fundraising in Wisconsin in 2020 got the nation involved; cast of Hamilton? Cast of Princess Bride in Zooms to cheer up a nation in the throes of a pandemic? I participated from Florida, it was so fun.
Democratic National Committee is horribly struggling. Republican National Committee is sitting on nearly $130 million. While DNC is $2 million in debt. Bad management of DNC but also another sign that the energy in the Dem base is for change--not the establishment. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/u...
Susannah R9I give money only to progressive candidates. I have no interest in supporting establishment Dems who are content to remain the ineffectual wailing Greek chorus to this fascist coup, and enthusiastic handmaids to Israel’s atrocities.
Joanna9Yet they still don’t get it! A lot of people are donating directly to candidates that are fighters.
Sean Solo8Have they tried spamming fundraising texts? I'm sure more of that will do the trick.
Jim6Funny how Mamdani was so awash in cash he had to ask people to stop contributing. Voters will give handsomely if they agree with your ideas, and the mainstream Dems have none.
Feralfern5The fundraising texts and emails to support dems who are voting for the child rapist president's cab picks, bills and election denying judges, taking pro genocide blood money, and being rabid corporate donor whores is not a winning strategy. The DNC should ask those A-hole dems for donations.
Ranking Z4Why would anyone donate to them? They’ve done nothing but either cower in fear and issue “strongly worded letters”, hold hearings that lead to nothing, or at worst they can’t even keep a caucus together to not approve his judges and nominees. They’re losers with no plan.
