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...
Riggsveda26Not 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.
BPVT19Democrats should ask - what would David Axelrod or James Carville do to restore the party? And then do the opposite.
Dan Angelucci17We could have had Ben Wikler, man
Stephanie King16If Dems clean up in the midterms, it will be IN SPITE OF the party apparatus, not because of
Don't Say "Enola Gay!"🌈✈12This 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.
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.
Jesus Zoidberg: 40s is the new 20s.4What can you even say at this point except you need to pray that the 2028 candidate is someone exceptional and you can sweep out or neuter the old guard.
ISO 3104 viscosity standard2Not specific to this article but: I love when a subject's complaints about leaks are leaked. I love reading, "I am sick and tired of all these leaks!" in the paper. I will always cackle and kick my feet when I see that. I'm like a toddler hearing "If You're Happy and You Know It".
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...
Sean Solo12Have they tried spamming fundraising texts? I'm sure more of that will do the trick.
Joanna12Yet they still don’t get it! A lot of people are donating directly to candidates that are fighters.
Susannah R10I 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.
Jim10Funny 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.
Feralfern6The 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.
kitagain.bsky.social5One thing never changes: The Democrats will always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Every time.
