of young, a truly new generation that properly represents you and not special interests like AIPAC or other groups that are responsible for whether it's the genocide in Gaza or the evisceration of the American dream that we're seeing every single day.

didn't bring up inflation at all they didn't talk about any of the real it well if you do a command f inflation comes up 18 times in the document and every time that it is mentioned it is in regards to inflation adjusted fundraising uh comparing different presidential cycles it's not talking about the skyrocketing cost of living which jesus christ right it doesn't talk about age at all and it doesn't talk more than anything about the what i truly believe

we didn't need a 200 page autopsy to tell people which is that if you spend three billion dollars or however many billions of dollars they had to try to gaslight people after you tell them when they tell you the president is too old and then you tell them no he's not and then 107 days before the election yes he is and then you tell them when they say that there's atrocities happening in gaza

no there aren't just shut up and vote harder then on top of that they tell you that their cost of living is too high and you say no it's not look at the stock market and look at the gdp if you tell people not to believe their eyeballs or what they're feeling in their wallets you're going to lose them no matter how much money you spend on ads that more than anything is what decided the election and the fact that we can't grapple with that and yet what we focus on is you know what what color of lipstick should we put on the pig

How much can we spend on the lipstick instead of what are we doing about the actual pig in the first place is the overall problem here.

Because the fact of the matter is nobody is ever held accountable in any real sense in our party when it comes to losing these elections in a major way.

And they go off and make millions of dollars off of it.

I think part of the reason they're happy to take that corporate money is because there's a lot of people getting rich on this.

Mike Donnelly made $4 million off of losing the election.

And the DNC is currently $3 million in debt.

If Mike Donilon is watching this, which I'm sure he's not because he's too old, he should pay this back.

He should pay that money back with fucking interest to the DNC.

It is ridiculous, right?

But the idea that we can continue just saying, you know what, we're just going to continue to take more of the same money from the same bad sources and prioritize the same bad policies as Republicans and try to just manipulate the American people into voting for us more.

It is not going to work.

And the question is what comes after that?

Because we have the opportunity as a party to be the party of the little guy, the party that stands up for the working class for real and not just in our fucking ads, but for real in our policy and show people how we are fully rejecting the influence of corporations and special interests and standing up for the American people.

And I guarantee you, even if we raised less money from that, which we wouldn't because we would make up for it and how much more people actually believe in us and what we actually stand for, instead of just saying,

we're not donald trump if we did that our policies would be so popular that we wouldn't have to raise as much money overall because people would actually believe in us and we could call out every time that republicans are having corporate funded ads and so much more that they are bought and paid for especially in the wake of trump giving 1.7 billion dollars to insurrectionists and traitors to our country

After doing that, we have the opportunity to be the anti-corruption party, Jen, and it makes me so fucking livid that we're in a place where people continue to prioritize their own self-interests over the betterment of this country, over democracy itself, because they're saying, well, you know, at least I can go and make my $4 million off of this and we can ride off into the sunset because I'll be fine in fucking Geneva as America falls apart.
