Obama Unveils Unity Fund To Build A Strong Party To Topple Trump

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/05/17/obama-unveils-unity-fund-to-build-a-strong-party-to-topple-trump.html

Former President Barack Obama announced that the Democratic Unity Fund which will be used to back the party’s nominee with a strong organization.
Obama is helping Democrats organize for 2020

Obama wrote:

I’m excited that the DNC asked me to announce a bold new effort: The Democratic Unity Fund. Launching today, the fund will be dedicated to electing our party’s eventual presidential nominee and winning up and down the ballot in 2020.

The Democratic Unity Fund is a promise that whoever earns our nomination, he or she will have a strong, united, and well-organized DNC ready to spring into action the moment the general election starts — a DNC that’s ready to lift us all to victory in November.
Democrats are learning from their 2016 mistakes

The DNC is looking to function more like the RNC did before Trump got his hands on it. The DNC should be a separate organizing force that is dedicated to getting Democrats elected up an down the ballot. The DNC should be about party building especially in places where the Democratic Party has been neglected, especially at the local level.

It will take a party-wide effort to beat Donald Trump in 2020, and that effort will be powered by a strong grassroots organization.


Thank you Obama. We sure miss you....😥

Over at JackpineRidiculous they're discussing the inevitability of rigging ("Seriously what will we do when the DNC cheats us again?" ). When they find out Obama, King of the Neoliberals, is getting involved, well, I expect lots of exciting CTs. Thanks, Obama!

right about the DNC as a giant “conspiracy” as Betsuni points out.

That is, before it was only involved in providing some support to presidential campaigns. Now they’re going to be “conspiring” (along with the DSCC, DCCC, DLCC and whatever the one that helps elect governors is called?) to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

This sounds like really good news.

Not to put down President Obama, but as the leader of the party it was his job to help make the DNC strong and effective in 2015-2016, and for whatever reason, he was basically missing in action. That’s why Hillary, faced with an almost insolvent DNC, had to step up and quick-raise $200 million to keep it going and put on the debates.
