DCCC has a great fundraising result. Justice Democrats thinks that's a problem (email)

[brooklynite]

“DCCC Has Best Ever April Fundraising Month”

it's hard to contend with the Democratic establishment because of how much corporate and Wall Street cash it brings in. That’s why we need a movement to transform the Democratic Party, and you to chip in to support our movement right now.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) said that it raised a whopping $12.2 million in April — the most it has ever raised in the month of April. The DCCC raises these huge sums of money from special interests determined to undermine progress. So much of DCCC support goes to corporate Democrats who want to stop Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. We have to stop this cycle.

We need to keep Democrats in control of Congress, but we desperately need to elect more working-class progressives who will really fight for working people. We need to elect more Democrats who will take bold stands for economic, social, racial, and environmental justice.

That’s what we’ve done ever since we helped elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the 9 other Justice Democrats in Congress. Now we need to elect even more of them.

We do it with zero corporate PAC donations and a lot less money than the DCCC. If we can raise just a tiny fraction of what the DCCC raised last month, we’ll be in a strong position to elect a wave of Justice Democrats to Congress who will fight for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and so much more.

1. WTF is this. Hey, FEC, Show us that zero Big money donor list they claim to have. It's a big lie.

"it's hard to contend with the Democratic establishment because of how much corporate and Wall Street cash it brings in. That’s why we need a movement to transform the Democratic Party, and you to chip in to support our movement right now."

👎

Who's our 'Establishment' President again?
Who's our VP again?
Who holds the House & Senate again?
Who is AG Merrick Garland, again?

We'd be s.o.l. without the Democratic Party.

Thanks Democrats!

Then of course the same group blew up the Democracy with that same bs mantra in 2016.



It was the Democrats, establishment & donors & years-long dedicated base who pulled America back from the brink.

I have yet to see the Left Tea Partyesqe do much about anything besides target the Party that clawed America back from total annhilation.

Who the fk are these whiners!
Side by side, they've spent more time damning the Democratic Party than the Republicans.

"Hello FEC"

Down the Democratic Party.. We Are Fighting Fascism & Turning the Treasonous Psycho Shit AROUND.. if they would PAY ATTENTTION!!

8. A Bowl Of You Know What

aloha Cha

[Cha]

13. Aloha, Me.. Democratic Party Person!💙

[Me.]

16. Yes I Am

and have no patience for this nonsense. For the good of the country and all of us we need to stay in power. More of the people who need it will get help with JB in power and the Dems to back him up rather than the purity business.

[Cha]

32. And actually, the "purity" is pure

gaslighting bullshit.

[Budi]

17. Btw, Ms "Bowl of Sh*t" has 4 (FOUR) Big Fundraising PACS of her own..

President Biden should increase the FEC employment levels by A LOT.

Time to find out where exactly all those $3, $27, small donations come from.
Open the books & change the flow of hidden campaign 'small donations'.

The lie is also a money scam.

"Money & Media", he said with a smirk.

Time to call out the bs.

[Cha]

34. Of Course.. their HYPOCRISY REEKIS!

[Me.]

40. Of Course She Does

One rule for all of us and one for them

[George II]

44. Justice Democrats is now formally a "Cary Committee", a hybrid of a PAC and Super PAC....

....allowing them to receive money from dark money committees.

[betsuni]

47. But ... grassroots.

I saw a tweet about how Justice Democrats types thought a grassroots populist backlash like the Tea Party was a good approach for them to transform the Democratic Party. But the Tea Party wasn't grassroots! I thought everybody knew that. When asked about it in a 2018 interview, AOC said, "Yeah! And like it or not, that movement was grassroots, it really was."

"Grassroots" has a different meaning now, too.

[Hortensis]

65. Yes. Sadly, internet "grassroots" is now also a tactic fringe groups use to

raise Big Money. From Wall Street to Justice Democrats, it enables special interest groups to buy influence far beyond their actual numbers.

If only their first goal, upon which all other goals depend, didn't always have to be defeat of the liberal mainstream -- whose ideals and goals they profess to share. But that bizarre reality is defining.

[Budi]

48. Is that how they hide the small $ donations from the FEC?

Is that why they only ask for $27 or $3?
What is the donor limit that the FEC doesn't ask for an itemized accounting?

So a big PAC (or 4 Big PACS), corporate, or foreign entity can submit multiple small $ donations & not be accounted for?
Wasn't there a RW group that got caught doing this same thing with foreign money?

Can't recall the details of that matter.
Think it came about in tRump's 2020 run.

So much for "We don't take money from Big Donors". 🙄



Kind of the old adage, "blame others for what you do".

[JohnSJ]

2. Are these the OPs comments and views, or from an article? If it is from an article, the

appropriate quotes and link should be supplied

[Cha]

4. The OP says it's from an email.

[JohnSJ]

6. Thanks Cha. Thankfully I am not on that email list

[Cha]

9. Ikr.. hate mail.. ugh & omg.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. I am on the Just Us Democrats email list and a couple other ones

I find these emails to be so dumb that they are funny

The Just Us Democrats are very sad

[Budi]

12. Oh, from an Email? Did they ask to send money??

Every single day, several times a day they do a series of fundraising emails out to their long voter data list (some grfted from HRC's 2016 massive data bank theft 🙄 ).

The wording in these mass fundraiser emails is exactly the same.

Send money.
Defeat Establishment Democrats

Wall Street
Establishment
Big Money

They cling for life to the same broadbrushed redundant coded words of their 2016 campaign.

It is a Lie & so are they.
HELLO SOMEBODY at the FEC 🙄

[LetMyPeopleVote]

43. Yes they are asking for money

There are two or three separate links on this email for you to make a donation

[George II]

5. It's the contents of an email from the divisive, Democratic Party bashing Justice Democrats....

I get them pretty frequently. They say some pretty obnoxious, negative things about the Democratic Party.

[JohnSJ]

7. Just saw it in parentheses in the title. Thanks George, and I agree

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. This is an email from the Just Us Democrats

I am their mailing list also

[Hekate]

10. Just a suggestion: if this is NOT your personal opinion, would you please use quote marks....

...or italics, or otherwise indicate in what way you disagree with it?

Because as it stands, it is an attack on the Democratic Party itself.

[JohnSJ]

15. +++

[brooklynite]

24. It's a fact that DCCC had good fundraising...

…and it’s a fact that JD is unhappy about it. Not clear by you need my opinion clarified.

[Hekate]

25. ****

It was alerted on, that’s why

[sheshe2]

53. Thank you!

[betsuni]

14. I find these emails hilarious. Same script.

Democratic establishment
corporate
Wall Street
movement
transform
huge sums of money from special interests determined to undermine progress
corporate Democrats who want to stop Medicare for All and the Green New Deal
working class
progressives who will fight for working people
justice

send money so we can fight Democrats

Key words: establishment, corporate, working class, transform, Wall Street, PACS, Medicare for All, Green New Deal, grassroots, neoliberals, SEND MONEY

[sheshe2]

22. I have read them.

Same script ad nauseam.

referring to something that has been done or repeated so often that it has become annoying or tiresome.

[betsuni]

26. Always the same. Status quo establishment script all about money at this point.

IRONIC.

[sheshe2]

29. Yes.

v

Just Us Democrats abhors the money and asks for it every day.

[SheltieLover]

31. This!👆

Wtf?

[sheshe2]

52. ...

That clinking, clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round
Money money money money
Money money money money
Money money money

[SheltieLover]

59. Yup

Why are they allowed to call themselves Democratic?

[betsuni]

60. They think they're the real Democrats, that FDR/LBJ were democratic socialists and

anti-capitalists, that the party abandoned this legacy for money from Wall Street/corporations/lobbyists/billionaires and are worse than Republicans at ignoring the working class. They will take back the party from the corrupt political establishment that will stop at nothing to prevent progressive policies, restore the Democratic Party's democratic socialist past.

Ha! They really believe it. BS. They're using a new definition of the word "progressive." Doesn't mean what they think it means.

[George II]

37. What's really interesting is that in 2019-2020 they raised $6.2M, spent $5.8M, but.....

....only contributed $73,431 to Federal candidates. They've only contributed to 15 candidates, the most being $14,997.

That's only 1.2% of their expenditures! That's a lot of money collected with very little to show for it.

They've given more to:

Way to Lead PAC $164,000 (which is a Super PAC!)
Sunrise PAC $130,000
Working Families Party $210,000

https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/justice-democrats/C00630665/summary/2020

[sheshe2]

54. Transparency Matters.

Methinks they are playing with us.

[wellst0nev0ter]

55. There's a line-item called "independent expenditures"

Mostly in activities in support of Democrats (as well as against their perceived enemies), sort of like how most PACs operate. You might want to check that out and report the whole truth.

https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/justice-democrats/C00630665/independent-expenditures/2020

[George II]

57. Well then why don't you "report the whole truth"? Part of that "whole truth" is that they spent....

....$575,000 AGAINST DEMOCRATS!

[wellst0nev0ter]

61. Is that supposed to be some kind of scandal? 🤔

We all know the JDs primary right-wing Democrats, which is well within their right, but you can bet the $1.6m they spent supporting Dems supported Democrats against the goops.

In other words, they can walk and chew gum at the same time, but mostly walk with the Democrats.

Just wanted to clear up any confusion you had on where the money was going, ace.

[betsuni]

63. Which Democrats are "right-wing"?

[wellst0nev0ter]

66. I'll answer that question in good faith

I think a good definition of what constitutes a "right-wing Democrat" are those whose legislative records are so far to the right that they are out of step with the mainstream of the Democratic Party.

For example, March's vote on the minimum wage increase featured seven Democratic senators who chose to be on the right of Mark Kelly(?!) the issue: Jon Tester, Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Chris Coons, Tom Carper, as well as perennial favorites Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. Angus King also voted against it.

Remarkably, only two House Democrats—Jared Golden and Kurt Schrader—voted against the minimum wage hike. That's how radical these rightwing Democrats are.

[betsuni]

69. So whose legislative records are far to the right of the Democratic Party?

[wellst0nev0ter]

75. You didn't read my post

I'll wait

[George II]

18. They followed THAT email with another one around noon today:

Another desperate plea, replete with the Democratic Party bashing they usually use, for money and using the bogus "end of the month" scam, like getting "1.1%" more by 11:59 PM tonight will be worht any more than 12:01 AM tomorrow. (bold highlight is mine) Sad we have to deal with republicans AND groups like this! They don't even do it in the name of any specific candidate, and as we've learned over the last few years precious little of their contributions actually go to Democratic candidates.

ICYMI - “DCCC Has Best Ever April Fundraising Month”

Hey George, we know it’s a holiday weekend, but we really needed to reach out to you again — one more time before the month is out.

Yesterday, we let you know that the DCCC raised a whopping $12.2 in April, pulling in big checks from corporate PACs and Wall Street.

If we raise just 1.1% of that in May (before midnight), we’ll stay on track towards defeating the special interests trying to stop progressive legislation like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. Can you chip in $3 before midnight?

Thanks so much for whatever you can contribute,

Team JD

[Budi]

19. Ha. They said, "Hey George..we really needed to reach out to you again -- one more time before.."

Good lord. What a bunch of BS.
Did they get your name from Hillary's 2016 stolen voter data?

"Hey George.." send money"



Does Waleed or Kulinski write out those desperate pleas....Send Us Money!!emails?

[brooklynite]

20. If I were to guess, they got it from Nina Turner (I get her letters as well)

I supported her for OH-SecState back when she was a real Democrat.

[George II]

23. Nope - it was from Justice Democrats, who also send out emails on behalf of Turner and....

....other candidates.

They're already bashing Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney on behalf of Rana Abdelhamid, who has a questionable background herself.

[brooklynite]

35. The question was: how did my name end up in their mailing list...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. I was a maxed out donor for Clinton and Biden but I am on this list

I was a Clinton delegate to 2016 convention and an early member of Lawyers for Biden. I am still active in Lawyers for Biden which has been rolled into the DNC

I actually find these emails to be so dumb that they are funny. The Just Us Democrats are sad people who I find to be funny

[George II]

21. To be honest, in this case it wasn't from that database, although others associated with them did...

I actually signed up to get these emails, I wanted to see how badly they trash the Democratic Party. It's good to see what's being said about our Democrats and our Democratic Party by them and their candidates.

Here's are excerpts from other recent emails, bashing President Biden and Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic Party. At least they don't call our President a half bowl of shit (which has recently been elevated to a FULL bowl of shit in an interview!)

When the Democratic Party is not aligned with the needs and opinions of its voters, Nina won’t stay silent. She’s ready to work with Pres. Biden, but that doesn’t mean she’ll simply go along with House Democrats when Speaker Pelosi and Pres. Biden fail to address the crises working people are facing in this country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We’re going up against the establishment and their corporate PAC money every single day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, we’re ready to elect more Justice Democrats, no matter what the political establishment thinks.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. I got both emails from the Just Us Democrats

The Just Us Democrats are really sad

[Historic NY]

27. When I see whats her names on it from Ohio...I give elsewhere.

[George II]

28. I've given to Shontel Brown twice already, will do again closer to the August 3 primary.

[brooklynite]

41. No objection in principle but keep in mind there's a large field of candidates...

[Hortensis]

39. :) This is an existential threat to them.

After all, during the Great Depression their sorts believed "the people" would support revolution, as was happening in other nations. Instead, Americans in large numbers supported the Democratic Party and our New Deal, and the long period of wellbeing that ushered in killed all chance for their dreams for the next 80-90 years.

Today's cohort of course believes their time came again, but as before the Democratic Party threatens to make people much too happy and secure to turn to fringe movements. Through deceits as massive as the RW's, they managed to stave off disaster in 2016 by convincing enough worried people that Hillary and the Democratic Party were as corrupt as Republicans, no choice at all.

Now, once again stupid majorities chose the Democratic Party (what is WRONG with us! ), and our actions are not just exposing all their deceits for what they are but threatening their dreams for hopefully the rest of their lives. Unfortunate for them, but that's the way it needs to be.

Itm, expect waves of lies. It's all they have.

[betsuni]

46. [phone]

[Me.]

50. Guess What...I Agree With You

[Hortensis]

64. Lol. Same back.

[Budi]

51. Yes, Lies. & if nothing else the PACS & those at the top will walk away with a generous bank acct!

Cha-ching $$$

[wellst0nev0ter]

56. "We need to keep Democrats in control of Congress"

Sounds like a good goal, and it appears they want to elect more better-quality Democrats. What's not to like?

[George II]

58. The next word in that sentence is a big "BUT..."!!

[wellst0nev0ter]

62. They want more working class progressives

Not people like Manchin whom you're apparently okay with.

[George II]

67. Joe Manchin is a Democratic Senator. People like dumping on Manchin but no one has yet....

....to name a single Democrat in West Virginia who can be elected Senator.

Got one?

[wellst0nev0ter]

76. So you want Manchin to be primaried

Good to know.

[George II]

78. Who said that? Certainly not I. You said you don't like him, you're not satisfied with him....

....(you've said it on more than one occasion) but you don't offer any alternative to him being a Democratic Senator.

[wellst0nev0ter]

82. You're the one suggesting a primary challenger for Manchin

not me, sport

[George II]

83. No I'm not. Using that logic, since you're the one with abject disdain for our Democratic Senator...

....Joe Manchin, and you're not calling for a primary, that means you'll support the republican he runs against in his next election?

[wellst0nev0ter]

84. Oh now we're supporting the Republican candidate, are we?

If that's what you're into, I'm not stopping you, good sir.

[George II]

85. No, good sir. But from your responses to me here apparently you are, correct?

[wellst0nev0ter]

86. If you can point out where I said that

that will be great, skip. I'll give you an hour.

[George II]

87. It's pointless. As you've done already here, everything I do say that is factual you'll turn around.

One minute, one hour, one day, one month - you still will turn it around and project it all onto me. It won't be the first time, not even in this thread.

Have a great hour.

[wellst0nev0ter]

88. You had one job

yet you were unable to do it.

It tracks, so I'm not disappointed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

70. Do the Just Us Democrats have any legislative accomplishments?

[DFW]

68. Corporate corporate CORPORATE as well as CORPORATE!!!!

I tune out when I hear that word used the same way the extremist right uses „Liberal!!!“

I sometimes contribute to the DCCC, though more often to individual Congresspeople I either know, or at least follow and approve of. I‘m not a corporation. If I don’t support a group that arrogantly calls itself „the Justice Democrats,“ as if any other Democrats I support are for injustice, well, we will have to disagree on just what „justice“ means to each of us. If they want to grab the exclusive rights on bloated righteousness away from so-called „Christian“ Republicans, I can‘t make them stop, but they can‘t make me applaud, either.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

71. The latest Just US Democrat email is targeting a good Democrat

The Just Democrats can not win in competitive districts and are targeting good democrats in safe district. Here is the Just Us Democrats latest target

And IL-7 is one of the most progressive districts in the country. There’s no excuse for 24-year-incumbent Rep. Danny Davis’s failure to lead on the transformational change his constituents need. Instead, he’s taking millions from corporate PACs and insurance companies and protecting his rich friends.

I may have to donate to Davis.

[betsuni]

72. "taking millions" "protecting his rich friends" -- all they do is accuse Democrats of corruption

and never, ever any evidence. Saying something over and over makes it true! Everyone is corrupt because money corrupts everyone except us so SEND MONEY BUT JUST A LITTLE AT A TIME.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

74. Yes Just Us Democrats are lying about real Democrats

I find the emails from the Just Us Democrats to be so offensive as to be funny

[George II]

73. What a blatant lie. Danny Davis is NOT "taking millions from corporate PACs and insurance companies"

They say stuff like this and unfortunately many people don't dig into the facts and believe this garbage.

In fact, in his district he's never raised more than about $500,000-$600,000 in any of his campaigns. That is NOT "millions"!

Plus, did it ever dawn on Just Us Democrats that the people of IL-07 are not interested in "transformational change" (WTF is that anyway?)?

I hope Just Us Democrats did their homework and saw that Danny Davis has been primaried every two years. In his last three primaries he won by 60-13, 74-26, and 81-19.

Unless THEY, Justice Democrats, pour millions of dollars into the primary (which they've done in the past) and run a dirty campaign they're not going to defeat Danny Davis.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

79. I just got another email from the Just Us Democrats on this race

The Just Us Democrats are lying about Danny Davis and are predicting that they will be out spent.

The Just Us Democrats are sad people who cannot flip a red seat to blue. I find their emails to be sad but funny

[George II]

80. They target older, longer-term Democrats in safe blue District, start a smear campaign and hope....

....they get lucky. With all they've done in the last two cycles, they haven't shown much in the way of results.

Look at what their people (candidates AND operatives) are trying with Governor Andrew Cuomo. They get women either directly or peripherally to come forth with "allegations", but when it comes to putting their left hand on the Bible and raising their right hand, they refuse to testify.

Look at the first two members of Congress who called for Governor Cuomo to resign, and look at the Democratic primary candidate for Manhattan Borough President. All three are associated with Just Us Democrats.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

89. I just got the third email of the day from the Just Us Democrats

These emails are getting annoying but I do love the desperation reflected by these emails. The Just Us Democrats have targeted another real Democrat and are upset that people are not rushing to waste their money on the Just Us Democrats latest loser. This passage makes me smile

Illinois’ 7th Congressional District is home to Chicago’s wealthy financial district, giant tech companies, and big real estate developments — while just a couple of miles away, the community struggles with unemployment, gun violence, and unsafe drinking water. Congressman Danny Davis has been a representative for health insurance companies, the real estate industry, and big corporations, not the Chicagoans that elected him. That is why we are excited about Kina’s people-powered campaign to defeat him.

It seems that the Just Us Democrats are worried which makes me smile

[George II]

91. I responded to one of them a day or two ago. I wonder if I pissed them off and they took me off...

...their email list?

No matter, the next time they update their list from a purloined contact list given them by another campaign, I'm sure I'll get put back on.

[George II]

81. They'll be "outspent" because "eshtablishment Democrats" are above board and open....

...in their campaigns, they don't have a few dark money PACs and "LLCs" who trade money back and forth and pour money into campaigns indirectly.

But JUD sure as shit can throw out those false accusations, can't they?

[RegularJam]

77. Don't think for a second that extremists on the right started the whole "Deep State" thing.

Non-Party factions on the left have been running with it for a long time.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

90. I am up to my third Just Us Democrat email of the dail

That is on top of two or three emails yesterday. The Just Us Democrats seem to be worried
