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!

No.
When Obama won in 08, he abandoned the DNC.
It operated in a zombie state for 8 years ran by neoliberals into bankruptcy.
When 2016 happened the DNC had zero money and only the chair knew it.
The chair and Hillary's primary campaign made an agreement with the DNC chair (no one else knew) that Hillary would fund the DNC. That came with the strings that Hillary's primary campaign controlled what the DNC said and did.
And that is what started the "victory fund" that stole money from state parties, and was handed to Biden, to Kamala, and Finally to the current DNC, who has given it all back to state parties with no strings already.
I highly recommend you read up on "the victory fund". Start with Donna Brazille's article because she was the first to blow the whistle. Literally "follow the money" and see that it's gone.
None of this is hypothetical, and Ken Martin didn't appear out of thin air, he had a decade long track record running a state party.
This requires zero faith in anyone, just like maybe an hour of looking up what's happened in the last decade of political history with the DNC, it is highly documented and takes the same level of effort as a jr high book report.
There's none cause not to put that level of effort in, and I'll most likely even edit in some links to start out with. But again, don't just take my word, look around yourself, all this verifiably happened.
