1. #fakenews.

[leftstreet]

2. Ugh. Say hello to four more years of Trump n/t

[keen observer]

3. More divisive nonsense

Why are you adding more fuel to the fire?

[jrthin]

6. Exactly. These posts do nothing

but divide so that the republicans can conquer.

[CentralMass]

22. Its not the post it's the DNC.

[elleng]

29. Yes,

and too bad DUers should recognize it.

[jalan48]

4. Lobbyists as Super Delegates? More bad optics.

[Loki Liesmith]

11. Lobbyists equal Activists

What do you think most lobbyists do?

[jalan48]

13. Or is that Activist Lobbyists?

What do lobbyists do?

[NCjack]

5. I give my donations directly to the candidates that I support. That way,

I know it gets there.

7. The real problem is The Big Number vs. the small number

44 to 7
“The Republican National Committee ended September with $44 million in the bank, according to its latest filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The Democratic National Committee (DNC), which emerged from a devastating loss in 2016 and a contentious leadership fight earlier this year, has only $7 million on hand, new FEC reports show.”

8. Vote first

How about we vote for Democrats first, win some seats, win at least the House or Senate, and THEN start fighting about the direction of the party? With elected officials, we can directly influence them through concerted action.

[HopeAgain]

16. If we could win seats

We wouldn't need to

[meow2u3]

9. Propaganda alert

The Observer is a Kushner rag that hosts Russian agitprop.

As Bugs Bunny once said (re: Bruno the Magnificent): Don't. You. Believe it.

[RandomAccess]

12. Can you point out which facts are wrong?

[stevenleser]

17. Why do you think we should spend the time to do that?

Would you ask the same of a Breitbart article posted here?

[CentralMass]

23. NBC and the Huffington Post have articles about it as well.

[stevenleser]

27. Those articles have a very different take. nt

[Scurrilous]

10. Welcome back.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Could not agree more.

[Scurrilous]

21. ...

[SunSeeker]

24. LOL

[Ninga]

14. Its an opinion piece. Not straight news. Big pieces

missing. Context.
I think this thread qualifies to be locked.

"The diversity that is being introduced....the party is doubling the representation of millennials and Native Americans on the DNC and increasing the number of Puerto Ricans.

Larry Cohen, a labor liaison for Sanders. Two other former Clinton campaign workers, Emmy Ruiz and Craig Smith, are also among Perez’s slate of new at-large members, along with Sanders’s former press secretary, Symone Sanders.

The slate includes 21 union representatives, an increase from recent years. Among them: Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, Lily Eskelsen Garcia of the National Education Association, and Lee Saunders of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Others chosen to be at-large members are Ellie Perez of Arizona, an undocumented immigrant who arrived in the United States as a child and is enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program; Marisa Richmond, a transgender African-American woman; and four people from Puerto Rico."

28. When will "democrats" stop falling for RW talking points and clickbait headlines?

thanks for that info MrsCoffee .

[MrsCoffee]

30. I wish I had an answer for that.

[JHan]

31. It comes across as a hunt to find the most most clickbaity nonsense..

that is anti-DNC and anti-democratic party- Some are just waiting in the wings to find some alleged trip up by the DNC to amplify and sensationalize.

It's fucking insane.

It's slicing off your nose to spite your face.

32. The Washington Free Beacon

Is a Right Wing Newspaper.

33. Right-wing agitprop

[RandomAccess]

34. Since there is so much insulting pushback on this,

I'm deleting it.

Ridiculous. And incredibly authoritarian.
