That money is too important to spare and needs to be spent on a better purpose, like increasing DiFi's margins by 1%.

it's looking more like the goper is winning by 9-10, which is pretty borderline for dccc involvement. big e-day turnout for republicans

The Our Revolution candidate beat the Establishment Dem in the primary, and proceeded to make the race closer than any Dem has in [TBD: 18 or 20 years] in one of the safer Red districts in the country... with zero support outside of the grassroots

Perez isn't wrong but it seems really dumb to run as a Democratic with the stink of generational loser on you if the DNC/DPA/whatever alphabet soup they come up with won't help you out.

Isn't he, though? Seems like this sort of race could be an incredible moneymaker for the party if they were giving it attention, even if they lost. They kind of have a major credibility problem right now. They are a fundraising organization, there is only one other major race happening right now - why weren't, you know, fundraising for it, raising money specifically to pour in? If they lose, well, they lose money they wouldn't have otherwise raised. If they win - boy, if they win, they get to trumpet how they helped push him over the line thanks to their donors!

They are literally incapable of long term thinking if a race like this is seen as indistinguishable from the "thousands of others".

Oh wait this was a Sanders backed Dem and the DNC only cares about corporate lobbyist cash, it all makes sense lmao

He said putting money into every race would necessitate an increase in spending or something like that.

He's right, but that's also the purpose of a national party so he's a complete idiot while being technically correct (The Best Democrat).

His answer to "can we invest in all of them?" was "no, we cannot invest in this one"

He's wrong on multiple levels! (Or, less charitably, he's lying, the way Dems like to do)

ah, i see. so when he said he planned on enacting a 50-state strategy he meant fundraising from all 50 states.
