Angry Democratic donors turn off the flow of money
The Hill ^ | 02/24/25 6:00 AM | by Amie Parnes and Hanna Trudo

Posted on 02/24/2025 4:02:04 AM PST by RandFan

Democrats are anxious to rebuild their party on the heels of President Trump’s victory in November. But they have a major problem as they try to refashion their brand: The money isn’t there.

Democratic donors — from bundlers to small dollar donors — say they are still angry about the election results and uninspired by anything their side has put forward since then.

“I’ll be blunt here: The Democratic Party is f‑‑‑ing terrible. Plain and simple,” said one major Democratic donor. “In fact, it doesn’t get much worse.”

A second donor was equally as pointed. “They want us to spend money and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking,” the donor said. “The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?”

"...they are still angry about the election results..."

They want to make sure their election theft operation is more effective in the future.

Of course. She’s unburdened from her past.

Shocking headline from the [s]Hill.

They generally phrase their headlines to say "uh oh... more trouble for the Republicans"

I wonder if the DEM donors are okay with the fraud and money laundering that has been discovered so far.

Well, I’m retired now, but even if I was fat with cash, (and I am not) I wouldn’t give a dime to a loser like the current day Democrats. They have shown us that they have no program for success.

IMHO The Hill is spinning this story because admitting that Democrats have angered their donors, although embarrassing, is better than the fact that DOGE has stopped the flow of corrupt USAID money.

What these donors don’t realize is that it’s not the democrat strategy or words they say, but rather their entire message and what they are proposing.

Woke sux.

Anti-white male sux.

Tranny kid surgery sux.

Drag queens in libraries and schools sux.

Letting illegal aliens swamp the county sux.

EV mandates sux.

Banning fossil fuels sux.

More taxes sux.

Excessive regulations on businesses sux.

Mask and vax mandates sux.

Defund the police sux.

Lawfare against political rivals sux.

Packing the SCOTUS sux.

Sending billions of taxpayers $$$ overseas sux.

If this is what you are for, your money isn’t ever going to make these things not sux.

100%!

We all know a large number of Americans never vote. It’s too much trouble, they don’t care, or they think their vote doesn’t count (like liberals in Alabama or conservatives in Vermont).

How many don’t vote? At least 50 million eligible voters.

The democrat operatives knew who these people were. That’s why the democrat pushed so hard during Covid to shut down the country—including acts like in person voting. They used the names of these never-voters to vote for them by mailing in ballots for them. Every swing state Biden took from Trump’s 2016 victory was gamed with fake ballots just enough for him to win.

That’s why we had 100K votes (all for Brandon) suddenly dropped at 3:00 AM in Wisc, Penns, Georgia, Mich and Arizona.

We must NEVER, EVER let the democrats use another emergency to shut down the country.

As Rush used to say about bubba’s theory... “how can we fool them today?”

Rush was a powerful influence.

Unmentioned: just how many donors are pissed over pro-Muslim anti-Semitism.

Have these donors read the Dem party platform? What do they agree with? What do they NOT agree with? Maybe they should start there.

Can’t wait to see the Tides Foundation in FBI crosshairs.
