If the DCCC calls to hit you up for money, ask them what they're doing for

YOUR candidate in YOUR district.

Apparently they don't give a care about CA-2. They've given our candidate NO money, so we're trying to fight an incumbent republican who has 800,000.

Our guy, Jeff Morris, has raised 45,000, which is about enough for gas and food. It's not enough to run a real campaign in a large, rural district.

Thanks for nothing, chumps. :banghead:

1. They can't fund every race.
I'm sure it's not that they "don't care", it's that they think the resources are better spent in a competitive district. Instead of name-calling against the party, why not get out and work for your guy?

3. Why do they decide to fund races with right-wing Dems then?
Shitty "Dems" like Don Cazayoux, Travis Childers, etc. get their money.

8. Probably because they are in competitive districts
You apparently either don't understand or don't accept political reality, which is your prerogative of course. There are plenty of districts where only a "right wing" Dem can win. I suppose you would rather have a republican win than a right wing dem, even if it means we lose control of the house. The principle of the thing, right?

2. I simply tell them until Emmanuel is gone, that every penny I have goes to the DNC
It's an anti-DLC thing for me.

6. He is gone.
Chris Van Holland is the head of the DCCC and has been for this whole campaign.
