Hi, I'm a lifelong DNC voter, I think Mamdani is cool and he even got congratulated by Bill Clinton, so I don't think the DNC you're talking about really exist in any sizable number. Also, if we cared about corporate donations we, the DNC, wouldn't have outlawed them for 7 years until the Citizens United SCOTUS decision brought it back.

I think the nail in Cuomo's Coffin was saying him and Trump had a mutual respect, which is not only not true but also pissed off a ton of Democrats.

pfft. it's the same dnc that screwed bernie over for hillary; remember when bill got on the plane with the AG?

look, I'd prefer clinton over trump any day. but acting like the DNC is all hunky about non-dem-stalwarts playing in their kiddy pool is pretty ridiculous.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by millions of votes. It was 13M to 16M.

and it did us so much fucking good.

she wasn't polarizing at all huh? everyone loved her kumbaya

no, half the progressive side held there nose and voted for the least-worst. remember doing that? or did you vote for trump because your feefees got hurt about something?

She would have been a fantastic president and avoided much of the Trump failures. We all should have come together for that outcome.

she never had a chance but was pushed anyway. even when people who didn't like her voted for her, it couldn't overcome her negative baggage. decades worth.

sure, a lot of that is deplorables and misogynists and fuck them, but, bernie was the better choice every which way. even the birds endorsed him.

She actually polled among the most popular politicians in the USA once upon a time, and her husband Bill Clinton was the last president to create surplus. I wouldn't really call it decades of negative baggage. Ffs, she participated in the Civil Rights movement alongside Bernie Sanders.

but by 2016 was wallowing in a wave of negatives

and her husband Bill Clinton was the last president to create surplus.

we've seen repeatedly that dems save the economy only for conservatives and independents to ignore that; happened with Obama, happened with Biden. That doesn't justify the way the progs were ignored, arrogantly.

Ffs, she participated in the Civil Rights movement alongside Bernie Sanders.

well, yeah, but also, her idol was Dr Henry Killinger. Bernie got arrested for protesting during the civil rights movement (there are pics even!), and never endorsed someone who murdered thousands of innocent cambodians.

congratulated by Bill Clinton

All the DNC guys released the same agreed on "congratulations" statement because traditionally they're expected to explicitly endorse the winner of the Dem primary for the general election, like Jerry Nadler did, and they're making a point of refusing to do that.
