DNC Chair Ken Martin touted a resolution passed on April 9 that condemns the “corrosive influence” of dark money on Democratic primaries but does not single out AIPAC or any other specific interest group.
“We had various resolutions that focused on different industries and groups, and instead of going one-by-one, we passed a blanket repudiation,” Martin said on social media, adding that he supports an end to dark money in politics.
Instead of just banning AIPAC by name, they’re going after all the PACs.
For those of you who just started paying attention to politics, AIPAC isnt Israel’s first attempt. The last one had to register as a foreign agent, and AIPAC showed up immediately to replace it’s predecessor.
Ban just AIPAC, and a PAC that’s exactly the same but with a new name shows up and does the same shit.
I understand why billionaire owned media pretends to not understand that, but it’s very depressing that voters seem incapable of realizing it unless a millionaire paid by a billionaire tells them
If AIPAC gets a special ban, then different groups with their own least favorite will ask why we aren’t banning that one, and billionaire owned media will say the DNC supports that.
The only logical solution that doesn’t waste a shit ton of time and effort, is to blanket ban all of them at once.
They don’t have infinite time and energy waste on shit. The more individual ones moving, the slower the one that abns everyone moves…
So the dnc released all the information on what was banned to actually help people check if they actually banned pacs and dark money?
The votes that just happened were at the committee level…
After that it goes to all voting members.
Expect a statement after that vote.
The DNC has released nothing about either, because they never do until after the full vote.
Like, I think your confusion is you think the DNC was making any announcements about this stuff, when it was just the billionaire owned media from CNN to Faux News all “independently” releasing the same stories almost verbatim within minutes of each other.
Can you honestly not see how this is a hot job against the DMC because the people who control the media no longer control the DNC?
So just boils down to we don’t want to cut off the money spigot and can blame others for that

That would make sense if we’ve seen a single thing from the dnc that shows it’s changed at all.

I’ve seen more from those within the dnc either happy with this decision or fucking disappointed than from CNN or Fox News. You can’t keep blaming the billionaires for the dnc constant failures

But they can do both? If they’ve already banned it, then why prevent an extra symbolic measure?

Okay this is a cope. It’s an All Lives Matter-style fig leaf that pretends people can’t condemn two things at once.
They’re still saying Ken Martin is reigning in the neoliberals…
