He already did…
Thered been a non partisan commission planning this for like a decade, trump fired them and put maga in charge.
People quit because of that, so now they’re saying they’re gonna do the thing theybalreadyndid that caused the problem.
They’re handling this just like the Strait of Hormuz
From a day ago:
That being said, I honestly don’t know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs.

No one owes you a personal answer when it was said hours ago
Following someone around a day later telling them you still haven’t read the thread and need it spoonfed “is not a good look”.
And honestly next time I don’t reply, it’s a safe bet I just blocked you. Same for anyone else you follow around like this. How could anyone not expect that? No one is obligated to interact with you.
OP is one of the only pro-billionaire accounts on here, it’s weird.
You know what we should try? Cutting out the middlemen and letting neoliberal donors run!
Ya know, that hasn’t failed miserably since checks notes, trump…
/S
I’m pretty sure there’s not only two options.
I’d suggest you spend time advocating for who you think is good
Steyer is one of the largest individual donors to superpacs btw…
If
So…
You still haven’t looked into what actually happened?
You’re just super sure the billionaires have a valid reason to put you against the DNC?
I think you’re confused still…
Did you think this was a super important rare thing that is never done and a huge deal?
Or…
Are you aware (win or lose) a report like this is always done?
Edit:
And since you care enough about votes to bring it up, I downvoted you for “glazing”. And completely deriding the conversation.
What about this are you actually upset about?
You said “I’m not upset”…
But I think it’s because you don’t understand the words you’re seeing…
In the memo released by the White House, U.S. Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella, physician to the president, wrote: “President Donald Trump remains in excellent health, demonstrating strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function.”
I’m waiting for them to go full “The Interview”
You telling me that man doesn’t pee or poop?!
Buddy…
What do you want?
On Thursday, Martin apologized.
“When I was elected DNC chair, I commissioned an after action review of the 2024 election that I wanted to be honest and transparent, and with actionable and specific takeaways for the future of the Democratic Party,” Martin said. “When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime — not even close — and because no source material was provided, it would have meant starting over.”
Martin went on: “I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced. After last November’s massive Democratic wins, I didn’t want to create a distraction, but by not putting the report out, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize.”
“For full transparency,” Martin continued, “I am releasing the report as we received it, in its entirety, unedited and unabridged. It does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards, but I am doing this because people need to be able to trust the Democratic Party and trust our word.”
Hours later, Martin told DNC members on a call that Paul Rivera, the report author, no longer “is with or advises the DNC in any capacity,” according to a source on the call.
“I apologize. Being a leader at any level means you own every single mistake — those of your creation and frankly those not of your creation,” Martin said. “This was a major mistake. I own it, and now it’s time for us to move forward at the DNC, and I hope that you’ll move forward with me.”
What are you actually upset about here?
More than half of Americans say the cost of living is worse under Trump than at any other point in their lives
More than half of Americans say the cost of living is worse under Trump than at any other point in their lives so far…
Nothing he does as Governor would equal spending 1.4 billion on charity…
And he’d still have a billion dollars.
Need I remind you that platforms are non binding?
How about how Super Pacs have been destroying our nation?
Steyer is literally one of the largest individual donors…
He is everything wrong with our political system and giving him the keys because he promises to be a good boy is ridiculous when he is constantly not a good boy and keeps hoarding all the fucking wealth.
If he was serious about not hoarding wealth, why is he still actively doing it?!
The entire point of Cali’s primary system is to prevent progressives from getting thru by scaring everyone to settle for “electable” to block Republicans…
That being said, I honestly don’t know who is the best bet over there, just that Steyer (and any other billionaire) will absolutely never ever under any conditions be on the side of anyone except the oligarchs.
Because if they were, they wouldn’t be billionaires it’s the easiest fucking thing in the world to not be a billionaire. But every day they decide to allow thousand of easily preventable deaths for so little money it honestly wouldn’t show up as a rounding error for them.
Anyone who isn’t a complete and total piece of shit would have hemorrhaged money immediately, the fact that anyone has had control over a billion dollars for more than 24 hours mean they are a completely irredeemable person.
Anything they do, is solely a PR move and viewed as a cost of bonus if not an outright grift.
Dudes net worth is 2.4 billion…
The San Francisco resident has spent over $320 million in federal elections since 2010?plus another $340 million on his own presidential campaign in 2020.

He just realized it’s better to cut out the middle man these days and run yourself than buy a politician.
If he was even a halfway decent human being he’d have given away about 2 billion dollars by now and still had more money than he could spend in his lifetime.
The only reason someone this selfish would run for government is to personally enrich themselves and amass power. If he wanted to really help people he’d just spend all his time giving his money away.
I’d like to congratulate OP for waiting a whole week before bringing this up again…

Someday I hope people realize billionaires hating the DNC is a good thing tho, and that it wasn’t a coincidence the media waited till a new chair was sat until criticizing what Biden’s DNC did.
One thing people don’t realize about actually fighting back in a class war…
Is that even the tiniest amount of pressure makes some of the oligarchs start to compromise. If it looks like the two most plausible options for a billionaire is being a millionaire 500 times over, or a mob killing them, suddenly having 500 million dollars sounds like a lot.
If they think the two options are having a billion or 500 million, anyone that would be happy with 500 million would already have only 500 million
Everyday they can just give away enough money to not be the focus, but they won’t unless something worse could plausibly happen to them personally if they didn’t.
Fuck em, make them feel the same day to day dread and fear everyone else has to deal with in the society they created
It’s this anticipatory self‑sabotage that always makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy
It’s the billionaires desperately wanting to depress Dem primary turnout…
If they can get someone like Newsom to the general, he would name the new DNC chair if elected.
And neoliberals would get the party back. We can’t afford to let that happen, so the most important thing is getting people to vote in the Dem primary
It also implies that the DNC has little interest in understanding why they lost
Th voting members knew why they lost immediately, that’s why they elected Marin instead of another neoliberal…
What part of the leadership do you believe has changed?
The chair is a dictator and can do whatever they want with zero accountability…
So when the chair changes, it’s like a new president, they can set their “admin” however they want.
2 years ago they elected Ken Martin, who spent a decade running Minnesota and turned it from purple to one of the most progressive politicians of any state.
It’s honestly not hard to look into him, but unless you understand the basics of the DNC (what I’ve said here is enough) it doesn’t seem like a huge change.
But people have fought 30 years (arguably 50) trying to get us to where we are now.
It’s not done, but billionaires want us to give up and check out already
Are people still pretending they don’t understand it was written by a single freelancer?
That the people now running the DNC, didn’t run it during 2024?
Because I legitimately don’t understand how anyone who only knew those two facts, would still be blaming the people running the DNC since 2025 for what this report says was done wrong in 2024…
So it seems like the safe assumption, is people don’t understand at least one of those two things. Most likely both.
Especially when they repeat “Democrats won’t learn their lesson” literally half a term deep into the DNCs pivot away from neoliberalism. To think they haven’t learned the lesson yet, just means that person hasn’t paid attention since Biden lost the election.
I know people who are popping tons of peptide shit, and it’s ‘fine’ because “it’s all amino acids”.
“Peptide” is just such a general term, like insulin is a fucking peptide, lots of things are peptides
A lot of what people are taking, are legit roids, even if they are also peptides.
The problem is, people take these unregulated supplements and then “feel amazing”. Their energy and focus levels increase. But they don’t think about the side effects.
Yep, crack makes you feel amazing too, feeling amazing is honestly usually a bad thing.
no snake oil supplements
Bro…
The dangerous part about this shit is it’s not snake oil. Snake oil was largely inert, they might be cocaine or morphine in it, but it was in everything back then.
People are taking serious drugs that do serious things, with no medical professionals involved, their just ordering this shit off the Internet on their own
Biden spent decades telling anyone that would listen that he believed the only way to deal with Israel was to give them everything they asked for…
When I ama didn’t do that, he spoke out as VP against his own president.
Kamala not only refused to respond in kind, she went out of her way to explicitly say if elected she’d be the same as Biden.
This is one of a very few areas where it would have happened regardless of who was president.
And that’s a huge problem we can’t ignore.
