I’d say anyone even slightly familiar with US politics would know billionaires have lots of ways to obfuscate campaign donations…
Like, it’s not exactly a secret, and US politics are kind of unavoidable.

16·12 hours agoThis is going to blow up.in Trump’s face…
They’re gerrymandering with the expectation that it’s an unpopular neoliberal on top of the ticket.
Obama flipped a lot of “red” states in 08, and the way gerrymandering works is trying to win a lot of seats by thin margins.
Fuck around and you lose more seats than you would have.
With the DNC chair wanting to run a candidate/campaign like Mamdani, we’re likely to see an actual blue wave like 08 Obama
how much are they spending on that anti-Zohran campaign?
Depends on if you accept that the Cuomo campaign and the “anti-Zohran campaign” describe the same thing…
You think this is big?
Wait till you see what they put behind Newsom/Pritzker if neither of them win the next Dem presidential primary…
They’re 100% going to pull a Cuomo if a progressive wins. I expect they’ll even get Kamala to run in the primary, just as a sacrificial lamb so Newsom/Pritzker won’t be the the least progressive on stage.
Really the reason they’re so scared of Mamdani, is there’s enough time to show it works before the presidential primary. And the current DNC chair is a huge fan of Mamdani:
One is, he campaigned for something. And this is a critical piece. We can’t just be in a perpetual state of resisting Donald Trump. Of course, we have to resist Donald Trump. There’s no doubt about it for all the reasons we just talked about. But we also have to give people a sense of what we’re for, what the Democratic Party is fighting for, and what we would do if they put us back in power.
And that’s really critical. And I think that’s one of the lessons from Mamdani’s campaign, is that he focused on affordability. He focused on a message that was resonant with voters, and he campaigned for something, not against other people or against other things. He campaigned on a vision of how he was going to make New York City a better place to live.
Billionaires are shitting themselves, they’ll just never let the media they own report on it.
Yeah, bro…
Obviously we should just do easy things that don’t matter instead of productive things that are difficult.
Who cares if it’s effective as long as you get a quick dopamine hit.
Feel free to go boycott Target about Exon mobile.
Oh ok.
So you’re not planning ahead.
Luckily we can see from Minnesota that planning more than a week ahead of time pays off. And that’s the direction the DNC is moving: planning ahead and distributing power in case we lose the DNC to neoliberals again.
It would be great if you “pressured” organizations that can do something and should do something instead of random organizations that are actually fixing themselves…
But considering your “pressure” is reposting social media comments to Lemmy, well, it doesn’t really matter if what you’re doing is right or not.
Feel free to “go after” Taco Bell for discontinuing the McDonald’s dollar menu if you want as well, people probably won’t get as upset even tho it’s just as illogical. But politics is an important topic these days
That you want a strong DNC where all the money/power is consolidated with them and a single chairperson controls the purse…
I mean, technically you didn’t say anything though, you just quoted someone else post verbatim and don’t seem to have even understood what they’re saying.
What do you think that meant?
But it won’t if the dems get in they’ll say some pretty words about healing and won’t change anything.
You’re confusing the small neoliberal faction with the whole party…
Something billionaires put a lot of money into. Them and the media conglomerates they own would rather depress Dem turnout and lose the general, because a neoliberal can’t win the fair primary we’ll have next time.
I know it’s probably not intentional, but please stop spreading neoliberal propaganda.
Now is the time to be pushing people to vote in the next Dem primaries, not pretending that it’s hopeless. Depressed turnout is the only way billionaires get someone they want like Newsom or Pritzker, and if they go on to win the general, they’ll appoint a biased neoliberal to chair the DNC again.
Please pay attention, we can’t afford widespread ignorance in the face of fascism
They’re giving all the money the neoliberals stole from state parties, back to state parties:
Total DNC investment for 2025 elections surpasses $7 million
Today, two weeks from Election Day, the DNC announced a new $500k investment into the New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania Democratic coordinated campaigns to help “get out the vote” ahead of the critical New Jersey and Virginia Gubernatorial elections, along with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention elections. This new investment is in addition to the DNC’s $3 million investment in the Virginia Democratic Coordinated Campaign, $3 million investment in the New Jersey Democratic Coordinated Campaign, and the six-figure investment in the Pennsylvania Democratic Coordinated Campaign.
It’s insane to me that people want the DNC to be a point of consolidated power, almost immediately after we won a 30 year to take it back to where it used to be.
Consolidating all the power in the DNC, just makes it easier for the wealthy to control it all if we get stuck with a neoliberal chair again.
Like, they’ve fucked shit up so bad for so long, a lot of voters don’t understand that a bottom up power structure is the foundation of a party that represents the average voter. So people really just won’t stop arguing against their own best interest like you are…
The only reason he looks good right now is because everyone else is just that bad.
Everyone else the billionaire owned media wants you to see.
There’s some good things happening all over, lots of people at the state level putting in work and gaining ground back.
But if CNN talked about them, Newsom would look like an angry bully like when he joined up with Charlie Kirk to shit on anyone who’s lgbt
Newsom would be absolutely horrible for our country
It’s been less than a year since he started his podcast with Charlie Kirk and fawned over hi, then had Steve Bannon a few weeks later and treated him the same.
Newsom isn’t on our side, he’s just saying what his team of PR people tell him to say. There’s a very good chance if he loses the primary he pulls a Cuomo/RFK Jr.
They fucked up…
Couldn’t admit it, feigned ignorance…
Then doubled down and claimed an ambiguous word meant something else, without realizing it turned the intial comment into gibberish.
The only ironic part is because I just blocked them instead of pointing it out, other people who don’t understand are assuming the last one to make a comment “won”.
Feel free to reply again, easy win. I won’t even have to actively ignore it.
I can’t tell
Maybe someone else can explain it in a way you can understand
It’s still wild to me that in 2025 people think the problem is racists who accumulated money to do racist things…
When it’s always obviously been gluttonous people using race to divide everyone else so we don’t take our wealth back from them.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

And always so smug…
Like, you legitimately don’t even understand that you’re out here repeating propaganda that actively works against your own self interests, just like the racists.
And you’re all so fucking smug about being ignorant.
You have two nice clearly defined teams and you show up every week to wave your pompoms, never addressing the actual issue while the oligarchs would laugh their asses off at you doing their work for free if they ever did think of you.
But at least you never have to think deeper than what billionaire owned media tells you to think, that would be hard
People poor enough that dealing with the enormous hassle to get benefits while technically not being entitled to them just don’t own their own national media networks to trick idiots into blaming someone else…
Any abuse other than that, is usually people having to go thru great lengths to exchange it for much needed cash.
$ and billionaire owned media
People love to assume not being a Republican means you can’t be grifted. But a shit ton of media just hear CNN call them “fighters” for having PR people along shit on social media while they grab credit for anything positive that happens in their state.
And that builds “name recognition”.
If billionaires won’t stop telling you how great someone is, they probably suck
We’ll have non biased primary next time…
Kamala has never stood a chance with those.
The big danger is the astroturfing for Newsom and Pritzker. That’s where all the billionaires (including pritzker) are sinking their money, hoping to build name recognition early and counting on how ignorant most voters are.
Sadly, it seems to be working
In an appearance on Fox News’ The Will Cain Show, Miller railed against the left, which has “scarred the landscape of our country with grotesque, so-called ‘modern art’ that celebrates ugliness, that celebrates defacement.”
I don’t think he has any of his own opinions, he just emulates hitler
Gee, I wonder why there’s no actual communist government…

No…
I think you’re confused
