(4,973 posts)I quit donating to the DLC and the DCCC about 15 years ago when I saw how the organizations were evolving. I don't completely blame the leadership. When the rank and file don't take enough interest in their own politics, the so-called leaders will take it upon themselves to govern as they see fit, not necessarily how we would like them to. I live in a state where all the dixiecrats were completely brainwashed by Mush Limpballs - making these idiots think they really knew something, when all along he played them for fools. Fux news and a rabble of other right wing dork radio shows have continued this grand tradition. With so much misinformation, what else was the DNC to do? No one was listening to the facts. We have to take back our party on the local level. It's going to be a lot of work, plain and simple. If we're not willing to do it, the corporations will continue to do it for us - in the manner they see fit.
