Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI refuse to donate anything further to the DNC (that includes money or time) until they get their
act together. I'm sick and tired of the bullshit fighting, bickering, and finger pointing that has gone on since November 8. If the DNC can be on their best behavior when they call my house asking for a donation, they can be on their best behavior when the cameras are rolling. I'm sick of the blame game and the public attacks. Yes we fucking lost (whether legitimately or stolen) and I'm still pissed as well as the rest of you that we have an ignorant jackass in the White House. But the elected officials and the party apparatus needs to put on the same happy fucking face as the GOPs are wearing with that asshole at their helm, and look forward.
And stop writing books that no one is going to buy or read as long as we Democrats don't control the White House, neither of the two congressional houses, the majority of state governor's houses, or state legislations. Also, don't think of me as just one person. I come from a family of nine kids, and have three of my own. I make sure that everyone, (sisters, brothers, mother, father, niece and nephews, aunts and uncles, boyfriends and girlfriends, friends and foe, and Democratic neighbors) get to the polls on election days. The bickering needs to stop NOW. In 4 days it' will have been a year and I'm sick of watching elected members of the Democratic Party still pointing fingers and playing the blame game.

(19,460 posts)We now only give to the DSCC which by the way is raising millions for Democrats for 2018 and 2020.

Think the DNC are really fighting? Think they give 2 shits about what excuses Donna Brazille purports?
No wonder America falls for Russian trollery and gop ratfucking.

(19,460 posts)He advocated cutting off funds to the DNC not the candidates. I agree with the poster. We too have stopped donating to the DNC and not because of this new flap. We now give directly to candidates and only Democrats and specific Democratic causes.
FSogol
(45,595 posts)I do agree that giving to candidates is the best use of funds. I like to donate to local candidates over state and national ones.

(4,270 posts)don't understand that they're fighting the best propaganda apparatus in history?
Every tiny little "controversial" thing they say or do will be amplified and repeated a million times by bots and people on the Russian payroll.
Whoever has the knowledge and the know how to start a petition, please can we work on one?
Who's the fucking grown up in the Dem house?

(19,460 posts)Why not give directly to candidates?
SunSeeker
(51,811 posts)They put on the Democratic Convention in presidential election years to showcase our party, they provide an infrastructure, mailing lists and fundraising help to all Dem candidates. Asking why we need the DNC is like asking why we need the Democratic Party.
But you're ignoring my point. Why punish the DNC for what some finger-pointers say?

(1,009 posts)Lets just all fall into Putins playbook. Create divisiveness among the Democrats.
Nope, this is what happened in 2016.
United we stand, divided we fall....AGAIN. We dont punish, we try to fix...we communicate with our party. Anyone that bad mouths the dems as a party on Twitter or online is spreading a virus.

(479 posts)party without being accused of "bickering." We have suffered ad nauseam attacks by Bernie and his supporters long enough.
I do not feel sad that Hillary wanted control and management of how the money she raised was going to be used.

(17,128 posts)if we were needing money back then. Maybe now is the time to give MORE if we can. That's why i'm saying this way of thinking will absolutely positively DESTROY us our choice i guess.
