(67,782 posts)...a "false equivalency" as you said in another post to me. One could actually say that Our Revolution doing something similar isn't the same as the DCCC did might be a "false unequivalency". Regardless of whether the DCCC is made up of elected officials and Our Revolution is made up of private citizens, remember that Our Revolution was founded by the Senator (and his wife) who is now admonishing Democrats to not do something that his very own organization is doing.
PS - don't worry, the DNC won't include a link to Our Revolution on their website, and the DCCC's inclusion doesn't confirm that they're part of the DNC.
I would note that on that same page of the DNC website you mention, there is a link to the Democratic Governors' Association (above both the DSCC and DCCC and several other organizations). The description is:
"Founded in 1983, the Democratic Governors Association, or DGA, is an independent voluntary political organization organized to support Democratic governors and candidates across the nation."
None of the descriptions for any of the organizations state that any of them are part of the DNC, even if they have similar and close objectives.
So, the fact that an organization appears on the DNC website doesn't implicitly mean that they're "part" of the DNC. In fact none of them are.
