Inside the Chaos Swirling Through a D.N.C. Desperate for Cash
NY Slimes ^ | By Shane Goldmacher and Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 06/18/2025 2:51:32 PM PDT by NoLibZone

Under its new leader, Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in big donations, raising alarms from Democrats as they try to win back power.

Just months into the tenure of a new party leader, Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee’s financial situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying the bills.

Fund-raising from major donors — some of whom Mr. Martin has still not spoken with — has slowed sharply. At the same time, he has expanded the party’s financial commitments to every state, and even to far-flung territories like Guam.

Fellow Democrats are grumbling that Mr. Martin, who quietly accepted a raise after taking the post, has been badly distracted by internal battles. So far, they say, he has been unable to help unite his party against Republicans, who control the federal government.

A protracted and public fight with David Hogg, the 25-year-old activist turned D.N.C. vice chair who blindsided party officials with a plan to challenge incumbent Democrats, made things worse. The clash included the leak of embarrassing audio of Mr. Martin questioning his own role and ended in Mr. Hogg’s unceremonious exit this month.

And probably some severe reduction in fees harvested for political purposes from EPA-and-IRS victimed companies.

Obama has brought the Democrats to ruin. Now is the time for MAGA to complete the utter destruction of the communist party. We have to burn the village to save it.

I know, right?

Not worth looking into, I'm sure.

And if the party labels were reversed, no one would be looking into the Republicans either.

I am starting to feel real optimism here for a few reasons:

1. The Leftist money laundering operation has been severely degraded (or so it seems)
2. People are genuinely disgusted with the fact that Dems don't seem able to run anything. Not towns, cities or states.
3. The Leftist groups causing trouble (e.g., attempting another “Color” revolution) don't garner a lot of sympathy or support.
4. The people in charge of the Democratic Party seem like a bunch of amateurish clowns.
5. For the most part, Trump is fulfilling his promises and crushing it.

What? Donors aren’t opening their wallets for the uplifting messages “Trump is Hitler,” “Trump is a dictator, “Trump is a Fascist,” and “No Kings”? For Dem lunatics destroying cities? For Dem pols cozying up to rapists, murderers and human traffickers? For men in girls” rooms?

What’s wrong with those people?

How can they be desperate for cash? They had Bidenistas tossing bricks by the billion overboard to them just a few months ago.

““We need to come together and focus on the issues at hand. That’s got to happen now.”

i thought they’ve done an admirable job of “coming together and focusing on the issues at hand”, namely, uniting the party to support anti-Semitism across the board, supporting unlimited illegal immigration, supporting illegal aliens first and foremost to the detriment of U.S. workers and citizens, supporting terrorist groups of every stripe, promoting chaos in the streets, screwing over union workers,
and foremost of all: WE HATE DONALD TRUMP!

“Desperate for Cash”

The mark of a professional fundraiser.

They are not raising the money they feel entitled to because elections for Congress are over a year away and the next election for President is over three years away.

Hahahahahah...no kidding.

Some people (on and off of this forum) over the last month or two have been predicting that were were going to see a lot of this beautiful, er...”inefficiency” regarding their Leftist activities because the spigots of money from taxpayer funds, if not shut off, have been exposed to closer scrutiny, and they are scattering like the vermin they are.
