Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) took to ABC’s Sunday morning show to assure the public that the Democratic Party is taking strong measures to combat the “AI Doomsday threat” roiling the country. His prime example: a Democratic House commission on artificial intelligence stacked with lawmakers who’ve received a bonanza in campaign funding from Big Tech.
I really wish the Democratic Party would try to win.
Our party is basically just an auction house for influence. So we need to get on top of fundraising so we can buy the outcome we want from the DNC. At least they will be cheaper to bribe than the republicans. In essence we’re bidding for outcomes against corporations.
They are trying to win the corporate dollars
I really wish any party would tell the corporate money and influence to fuck off and actually pay attention to what the people need and want.
What, do you think the government run by the people, for the people, should actually give a shit about its citizens? We have a dirty commie over here! /s
They are winning.
Democrats made a billion (that we know of) during Harris campaign.
With our two-party system, bOtH pArTiEs are guaranteed to win, even when they lose an election. If you look at the Harris campaign carefully, you’ll see they actually took a fall with Harris purposefully.
To win any federal election in USA, you must get independent votes… they are 40% of voters. This is a long-established, incontrovertible fact. The Harris campaign decided to instead reach out to Republicans, repeatedly. That’s not how you win an election. Harris knew this. Everybody in politics knows this.
They (D or R) make a fortune in “fund raising” either way.
In spirit I kind of agree, but they were aiming for the newly independent Republicans who were disgusted by Trump and hoped to pick up more of the “mythical moderates” that people seem to think exist in the millions. Meanwhile an examination of the election found that trump directly played to a “rally the base” plan and it obviously worked.
If Democrats would try for once to be Democrats and not just blue conservatives that tolerate gay/trans people they’d more than likely win, but they’re not interested in that apparently.
They are, just that they fight against you.
