—” the ones that siphon off some to donate back to their candidates, has put a strain on Demo coffers.”

Sounds good, and I hope that is a correct assessment.

IMO this is an early prophecy:
The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

William Butler Yeats

The elites want to pick their candidates, independent of the party. The party wants to reward the Old Guard and the elites want white Socialists who can stay on message with anti-Capitalist burn-it-down policies. The Euro-elites and Chinese want to destroy America and they know they can commit voter fraud with the protection of the media and the Party.

When the Kamala show blew through 1.5 billion dollars, the big spenders took note. They are now cutting out the DNC middle man, the lower level party grifters that always tag along for the ride.

72 million bucks to Pretty Boy Talarico says the money is still being spent.

Democrats seem to be going through their own populist rebellion similar to what Republicans did in 2016 when they completely rejected their party's establishment candidate.

Left-wing populism is going to look very different. I think Platner was their dream candidate before he imploded. He campaigned on a leftist economic nationalism that resonated with the working class without the cultural liberalism that has proved to be political poison.

If you go on DU where everybody is like 100 years old, they still rally around the DNC and the old guard. But that is clearly not where the energy of the party is anymore.

There is an independent expenditure group in North Carolina that is tearing Whatley to shreds over the claim he hired a convicted child molester on his staff.

I hardly watch any TV except for the local news, and that commercial is everywhere

**I’d really like Susan Collins to over and over again explain to the American people how the Democrats can be touting democracy when they had 500 people hand pick the Senate candidate.**

My friends she’d be lying but in politics you use any weapon. The lying part-we’re all against the 17th amendment, the one who turns the senate selection to the ‘elites’. But wha the hell go for it Susan!

I do hope it is a poison, but it appears to be working very slowly.

Chiraq, only 25 klicks from my position, is proof.

The nut/mayor is in the single digits; stands a good chance of re-election!!!!

DNC Chairman Ken Martin threw his phone at the desk of a junior aide in early July in a fit of frustration while upbraiding the staffer.

The incident, which occurred amid fraying nerves and mounting party debt, resulted in a formal human resources complaint.

Details of the incident as reported by The New York Times: Martin threw his phone at a junior aide’s desk during a tense exchange. There was some dispute among witnesses regarding how aggressively the phone was tossed, but it prompted a formal HR complaint.

The clash occurred as Martin faces growing paranoia over leaks and job security. He has been under intense scrutiny over the DNC’s financial struggles, including massive campaign debts and controversial spending decisions.

The incident highlights the internal turmoil and stress gripping the party leadership following recent election cycles.

Whenever I am on YouTube, I see Democrat ads.

I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in years. I use uBlock Origin, Enhancer for YouTube and AdBlocker Ultimate.
Don't know if it's due to one of these or the combination but I ain't messin with it.

What a classic response to the theory of frog in the gradually warming pot of water analogy your comment is! That abusrdity presents as almost sane, relatively speaking.
In a world of lies, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. But it still sets us free.

I’d really like Susan Collins to over and over again explain to the American people how the Democrats can be touting democracy when they had 500 people hand pick the Senate candidate. That is not democracy at all.

Susan Collins will always run a postive campaign and leave the mudslinging and negatives to others to do.

The campaign issued a basic statement following the convention. That will be the extent you hear from the campaign on it.

waste of time to spend money on ads prior to 60 day before the election ... it’s pretty much like: “don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes” ...

what’s REALLY bad news, though, is that the national GOP doesn’t demand that all candidates receiving their money run ads consistent with a national campaign that, say, shows what’s going to happen if the Democrats/DSA take over Congress in the midterms, i.e., endless impeachments, government shutdowns, etc. ...

The [democommie] party is $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee has $128.5 million in cash on hand.

And yet, somehow, the republican’ts don’t have a very firm grip on congressional majorities.
