    The idea that doing so would lose some key demographic is clearly not supported by the data.

    They wouldn’t lose significant voters, theyd lose a bunch of donations…

    It doesn’t cost a billion plus to beat donald trump, but the more money there is, the bigger everyone’s slice is and the bigger the bonuses for personally bringing more money is.

    The DNC isn’t being run to get Dems in office, it’s a fucking grift where sometimes we do get a Dem in office.

    Just never one who’s political policy matches Dem voters.

    Look at current DNC leadership, it’s not people that know how to win elections, it’s just whoever can bring in the most donations.

    The result is ridiculously expensive and incompetent campaigns. The solution is clearing house at the DNC.

      True. And a cushy consulting job, or a few thousand in bonuses seems like an understandable inventive, if a misanthropic one.

      But for those who do the footwork supporting such a system, I just cannot see why. What have the Democrats done to deserve such blind obedience? Is being not-Trump just that impressive these days?
