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.

1. I'm with you.

We now only give to the DSCC which by the way is raising millions for Democrats for 2018 and 2020.

[FSogol]

2. Awesome! A post advocating not giving money to the party. I'm sure that will fix everything!

Thanks for your support or something.

[leftofcool]

4. The DNC is not the only part of the Party

There is the DSCC and giving money direct to the candidates.

[FSogol]

6. You may have mentioned that, but the OP didn't. He advocated cutting off funds because he's overly

concerned about a media generated flap intended to bash us.

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.

[leftofcool]

8. According to the subject line

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]

11. Read his last sentence. Obvious that DNC equals Democratic party in his call for cutting off funding

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.

20. Cutting off the DNC harms Dem candidates and starves our party GOTV & organizing efforts.

Our party infrastructure serves an important purpose. Why would you refuse to support it?

[awesomerwb1]

3. Are they really that out of touch that they

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?

[loyalsister]

5. I only give to candidates

Time and money focused on where I think will have the greatest impact.

[leftofcool]

10. Exactly. That way I know where my money is really going.

[SunSeeker]

7. The DNC does not control the Dems you are mad at for "pointing fingers."

Why punish the DNC for Dems you are mad at?

[leftofcool]

9. Why does the DNC need our money?

Why not give directly to candidates?

[SunSeeker]

13. To help Dems win, GOTV, Dem candidate recruitment, Dem party organization.

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?

[Madam45for2923]

12. Yeah let's all follow! Woohoo! Yeah baby! No money 4 DNC!

I am so running to take this well meaning & sincere advice! This sure gonna help our constituents!

15. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

Attacking Democrats and the party is first and foremost for them.

[SunSeeker]

19. Right? With friends like these...

[NurseJackie]

14. Good grief.

[Clarity2]

16. Right

Let’s just all fall into Putin’s playbook. Create divisiveness among the Democrats.

Nope, this is what happened in 2016.

United we stand, divided we fall....AGAIN. We don’t 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.

[BannonsLiver]

17. Thanks for the update.

[imanamerican63]

18. I said in a thread yesterday...

The DNC needs to fix this problems, now! But we all need to come together to fight back the GOP and their cronies! All this pointing fingers at one another, bring us all down to the GOP's level!

[coolsandy]

21. Way to kick a party while it's down. I will not join you. Too bad one cannot even defend their own

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.

[bluestarone]

22. not sure but that may have been our problem in the first place?

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.
