    Once again the democratic establishment stabs progressives in the back, can we stop being delusional about them now?

    This isnt Democrats or Republicans we have e yo watch ou for. Its people defending capital from labor. Dems are not a labor party, they are a neoliberal party.

      Democrats used to be a fractured coalition of competing activist groups - labor, feminism, black civil rights, environmental, academic, professional. Now you have a uniform block of McKinsey consultants trying to rein in an increasingly insurgent liberal voter base.

    Has Planter’s campaign been denied, or even tried for form a joint fundraising committee like this?

    As I understand it, it basically just allows donors to give to both the campaign and DSCC at the same time. If that’s accurate, I’d hesitate to describe it as influencing or endorsing? If that’s not the case, what is a joint fundraising committee?
