In reply to the discussion: FEB 3 UPDATE -- 2025 DNC leadership [View all]Nanjeanne
(6,167 posts)49. Truth is there are "good" billionaires - but it's a horrible message to be sending out. We only take $$$$$$ from "good"
ones.
The messaging should be about getting money OUT of politics and the damage that Citizens United has done and that corporations aren't people and that we need to make wealthy people pay their fair share . . . why draw attention to the fact that Dem Party welcomes "good billionaires"? It's stupid messaging and doesn't bode well for the kind of branding change the Democratic Party needs to bring more people out to vote. Which MUST be the target. Not changing people's votes from R to D. Not courting the people who are not aligned with a bold Democratic platform. But encouraging and enthusing those who have given up and are tired of seeing nothing change in their lives.

Maybe the former governor candidate? Governors tend to know how infrastructure repair in their states are handled.

I don't see David Hogg's name on this list. Maybe it's my vision impairment?

Glad you ask! David Hogg is running for Vice Chair. Emphasis here has been on the DNC Chair.

Just remember, 82 of them backed Harris/Walz. Don't forget we're in oligarch wars now.
