this is Obama's pick for DNC brehs
Tom Perez refuses to reinsitute ban on lobbyist donations to DNC
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Unless you reform the political donation aspect of politics, the Democrats and Americans are fukked
The way these Dems are acting really makes me want to give up on them entirely.
Based off the nature of the political system, they dont really have a choice.
Who will consistently give them money to keep the party propped up?
this is the purity politics bullshyt I'm talking about.
Obama AND Hillary want to get rid of citizens united.
But its the law.
So why lose on a technicality cause you're too good to take dollars?
Take the money, AND fukkING WIN.
Man the fukk up.

Asked at a DNC forum in Phoenix last Saturday whether he will “revive President Obama’s ban on corporate donations to the DNC” and a ban on appointing lobbyists as party leaders, Perez demurred.
Revive. As in this was in place before. What good was that money against Trump and what did that give us? Yes we know there's gerrymandering but how many seats have Dems lost again?
Now is the clearest time to make a distinction between the parties when you have Trump putting in a cabinet full of folks that essentially want to gut the government and let corporate America rape this country for all it has.
Correct me if I'm wrong breh, and I say this as someone rooting for Keith, but unless this is applicable to the RNC and ALL POLITICAL PARTIES, this seems...like a strategically smart thing to do until some form of comprehensive ban on lobbying money is passed as a law.
I know why lobbying money is given. But money is money, and its a tough sale to say I don't want money while the opposing side game is trying to stack more than you.
I'm begging for the counter-points and "Thats stupid" posts because I hate I have to make this argument. Convince me otherwise. Tell me why this logic is bad please.
One counter-point I can think of is that this will force more grassroots activism. Is this your thinking too?
Hillary took the money and she lost
Puts a dent in your retarded argument
#TrumpSet aint even need citizens united money to win, just good ole fashion stumping and tweeting:leontip:
Still need money for downballot races though breh. Can't depend on the President to carry you during the midterms, special elections, and off year electionsHillary took the money and she lost

However, who knows. I think people should know by now not to dismiss Trump's ability to rile up the base. Maybe he can use the same voodoo during those times too.
A President can set the tone for the rest of the party. Obama liked to toe the line and not take hard line stances on anything and now we're left with this mess of a party as a result.Still need money for downballot races though breh.

Sort of like how you can get all of your products manufactured in foreign countries to maximize profits because the laws encourage doing so, even though you want to bring manufacturing back to America?
