The DNC isn’t getting any money, because the real money on the left is going to OFA, Obama’s shadow-DNC.

There is an article I read the other day on the topic of gerrymandering. One of the points it made, a bit of a tangent actually, was that because of the way the Democrats have situated themselves geographically, GOP gerrymandering of congressional districts wouldn’t matter to the outcome of elections. The idea is that Democrats have highly concentrated themselves on the East and West coasts, particularly in the big cities.

I live in Massachusetts, a true blue state if there is one. Our representatives in the US House and Senate are all Democrats. The citizens of MA are predominantly Democrat as well. There is no serious threat to the Dems hold on public office. Seeing this perhaps translates into the lack of motivation to donate to the party. Maybe this is happening in most Democrat controlled areas.

Just a thought.

People with the big money are probably quite careful about donating to a bunch of incompetent cretins at the DNC.

AesopFan, I think they know, what with them being the pro thought police party — In fact, I’m sticking with my plan to put their direct mail in the shredder just to see if they spam my email about it. 😀

Just because the DNC isn’t raking in dollars does not mean the lefties aren’t funding their cause. George Soros and Tom Steyer don’t put their coins in the church poor box. And the hangers-on and favor seekers deposit directly into the coffers of the Clinton Crime Family or Obama’s Community Organizer-in-Chief War Chest. Also, they have been expert at spending your tax dollars and lawfare spoils on their pet projects.

I believe that the DNC is currently broke because—if I understood Donna Brazile correctly—Debbie Wasserman Schultz et al. funneled most of it into Hillary’s stellar high-octane compaign.

And, Hillary, of course, was supposed to win, in which the money would all be recouped (give or take) without anyone taking much notice.

I’m on their lists, big time, as I am in that demographic of being a very good, very reliable democratic donator.

But, since I’m also a child of a Holocaust survivor by way of Stalin’s gulags, I got paranoid about Obama because of Israel, (which turns out to have been well founded according to discovery in the recent pro Israel group v IRS lawsuit.)

So, I decided to keep my mouth shut— as that is also the demographic who does not want to draw attention to themselves by requesting to be removed from lists.

I just don’t give them money, or vote for them or, as it turns out, agree with them about anything, anymore.

I agree with the spamming (and get the same from the RNC) and can see your point on the caution (because nothing says “party of hope” like vindictive persecution).

You might want to square the circle by crossing out any identifying information (watch for secret code numbers), then fill in the questionnaire with the “missing options” that Gringo mentions), and then send it back – without money, of course.

Maybe if they had been getting more reliable feed-back from moderate Dems in the past (and a known loss in donations, instead of just missing replies), they might not have gone so far down the looney-left rabbit-hole.

What I did say was that in the past this group had been generous in their donations, and that at the moment they were plenty fired up. That’s why I’m puzzled at the seeming lack of money from them to date.

Following up on some other points made in the comments, so long as the DNC is pushing Clintons and Kennedys, I don’t think the money-bags (practical and idealistic alike) are going to be funding the party.
They know that both families are now branded as “losers” and they don’t want to waste money.
If the DNC comes up with a charismatic potential candidate ala Obama, maybe they’ll be ready to play again.

“What I did say was that in the past this group had been generous in their donations, and that at the moment they were plenty fired up. That’s why I’m puzzled at the seeming lack of money from them to date.”

Well perhaps the demographic makeup of the dems now isn’t the same as the demographic makeup of dems past. Perhaps Trumpism is asset-stripping the dem demographic.
