I spoke of the money leaving Democrats, and the DSA message isn’t helping the cause. For the record, Socialist don’t usually have much money, except for Bernie Sanders and other so-called “Democrats” in Congress and elsewhere who have gotten rich off doing nothing.You can tell a lot about a political party by who writes the checks. Forget the polls for a minute. Polls are like New Year's resolutions. They make everybody feel optimistic until February. Money? Money is brutally honest. Money doesn't clap because it likes your speech. Money leaves when it thinks you're about to drive the company bus into a lake.And if you look at the donor migration over the last decade, Democrats have a problem that no amount of blue hair dye can cover up. “FOLLOW THE MONEY, FOLLOW THE ADDRESS CHANGE”If you want to understand American politics, stop staring at the candidates like they’re the main event.They’re not.They’re just the delivery system.The real story is sitting in the back room with the checkbook, deciding whether it still believes in the neighborhood.Because money doesn’t argue. Money doesn’t tweet. Money doesn’t need applause.Money just… moves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
