That is not acceptable for a political party.

We need to hold ourselves accountable.

And that means having the conversations that many people don't want to have about the people that got rich off of last election and the people that continue to get promoted despite epically failing in a way that wouldn't even be allowed for a middle schooler.

If you turned in this report to a middle school teacher, you would fail.

We cannot continue on this path.

And it's also to say you had a year and a half to do this, Ken.

And who did you hire?

You didn't create something like the NTSB like they have after a plane crash, you know, an impartial committee to really focus in on what cost us the election, to go and interview people in swing states, to go and interview campaign operatives, to go and do the actual work of what cost us the election and focus on that.

Instead, he hired a volunteer that was his friend who's, from my best knowledge, last political experience was working on Bill Clinton's fucking campaign before I was alive.

and expected that person to succeed and then when you get the dog report it's not to say hey this is not where I want it to be we're going to redo this process make it much more transparent and bring in a lot more experts that are not just friends of mine it's to say here's a report that's it let's go folks you know hopefully we win the midterms it is insane and let me tell you this much Jen the reason why things continue to be this way I've seen it myself

I saw, we were one of the largest supporters of Zoran.

We spent $300,000 on him in his primary.

And it was actually a lot of the money that we raised in the wake of the DNC that I literally took directly after that and cut a check to support Zoran through an independent expenditure.

And I saw after how we did that,

The same major donors that go to me and say, how do we win back young voters?

How do we win back young voters?

Then came to me after we supported him and said, I'm sorry, I can't give you X hundreds of thousands of dollars because I don't support your candidates and the fact that they want to tax the rich more or that they don't agree with the US policy on Israel.

And the good news is that leaders we deserve, 80% of our money comes from people that give less than $1,000 to us.

that enables us to have the independence to do this work but the reality is most people in this town don't have that kind of independence the only reason i'm able to tell those donors to go and take a hike and prioritize the guy that got three times the voter turnout of 18 to 24 year olds that kamala harris got which is zoron

The only reason I'm able to do that is because we have so many small dollar donors that leaders we deserve.
