26. There are two kinds of Democrats.
Those who want to beat Republicans
and
Those who want to beat other Democrats.

I'm in the first group, and always have been.

I suggested the appropriate manner a Dem might redress their grievances with any DNC action. When someone says we should withhold money from the DNC, a reasonable question to ask that person is "exactly what have you done to let the DNC know you're not happy about this action?"

Sitting on contributions instead of addressing your concerns to the appropriate DNC personnel is both passive-aggressive and ineffective. What's the point? It's like saying you're going to hold your breath until they change their game plan.

There are more appropriate ways to communicate displeasure with a DNC program than to try to lead a stoppage in funds. That is a defeatist approach.
