But not all these Red to Blue candidates are getting money from the DCCC and Pelosi's House Majority PAC. Progressive favorites and working class candidates like Randy Bryce and Kara Eastman, of course gets nothing at all from a Democratic Party elite that loathes and fears the working class. A multimillionaire like Pelosi looks at a guy like Randy Bryce in his workboots, drinking a beer instead of a martini and shudders at the thought of him crashing her party. She looks at him and thinks he must be her plummer. The big money goes to the New Dems and Blue Dogs the Democratic Party elites are hoping to stock the party up withs as to change it to a business friendly party where careerism and corruption are the new norm and serving the needs of working families as remote as it is for the GOP.


There are still millions more to spend, but here are the campaigns that have gotten the biggest boost from the DCCC and the House Majority PAC (which claim they don't coordinate spending but, of course completely coordinate spending just as much as the NRCC and Ryan's SuperPAC do). So let's rearrange that list in order of the biggest spending:

Susie Lee (New Dem- NV-3)- $2,360,099
Jennifer Wexton (New Dem- VA-10)- $2,314,842
Paul Davis (Blue Dog/New Dem- KS-02)- $2,244,847
Anthony Brindisi (Blue Dog/New Dem- NY-22)- $2,191,396
Sean Casten (New Dem- IL-06)- $2,085,753
Andy Kim (NJ-03)- $2,069,637
Tom Malinowski (New Dem- NJ-07)- $2,061,936
Cindy Axne (New Dem- IA-03)- $2,035,081
Antonio Delgado (New Dem- NY-19)- $1,945,074

Abby Finkenauer (IA-01)- $197,238
Betsy Londrigan (New Dem- IL-13)- $159,031
Scott Wallace (PA-01)- $142,380
Notice that Andy Kim is the only candidate who isn't from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party who has had significant money spent on his campaign. He, Katie Porter, Jared Golden and Dana Balter are the only progressives on the DCCC's list of candidates to spend money on (and Dana isn't getting nearly enough to impact her race). The rest of the Red-to-Blue candidates got either nothing at all... or enough money for a nice pizza for the volunteers. The Democratic Party was once a progressive party. That appears to have ended, ironically, with Pelosi as party leader.

you can write this... and still sidestep the logical and inevitable epiphany?

"The Democratic Party was once a progressive party. That appears to have ended, ironically, with Pelosi as party leader."

The Democratic party turned themselves into the democrap party, the same party described by Debs in your quote banner, for good in 1982. It was the DLC (just admit it... bill fucking Clinton is pure evil). Pelosi jumped on that runaway train shortly after.

By far the worst case of cognitive dissonance that any human has ever displayed. Is that insanity or just inanity?

"How The DCCC Plans To Turn The House Democratic Caucus Over To The Blue Dogs And New Dems..."

You meant to add "again" didn't you?

After all, they're re-baking the same cake they made in 2006-2008... are they not? Using the exact same recipe? Down to the identical vow to not impeach?

A good piece that makes proves my own contention -- that the democraps simply must be euthanized or nothing will ever get better.
I've been making the case for my contention for 30 years. You overtly agree, finally.

So... when are you going to take the only next logical step? How much more ratfucking do you wish to endure?

Or is that not your purpose here? The proof of the sheepdog theory mounts.

If the democraps do this, they might as well just declare themselves Republicans and openly reveal that the US is a one-party nation.
