MODERATORS
The DNC has remarkably little power over any of this; organizing at the local level happens locally and that's really hard to do when it's so far from attaining anything like power at the municipal or county level.
Except the victory fund is taking all the money away from state parties...
Who are the ones who do what you're saying the DNC doesn't do...
The Harris Victory Fund (what I assume you're talking about) is joint fundraising committee for the Harris campaign, the DNC, and the state parties. They're not being left out.

The only reason that came out, is moderates were so mad Hillary lost, they all left the DNC and a progressive got to see the books.
HVF became BVF became HVF, the only thing that significantly changes is the name the amount of money a single person can give, just under a million now btw.
You're grumbling about how things were in 2017. Not how they are today. The increased limit is because the state parties joined in and get part of those larger contributions.
The DNC is a private organization, so are the state parties.
We only know about what happened then because none of them wanted to be stuck with the bag and a progressive was able to see the books.
That hasn't happened since....
So you're saying it's magically different by now, and we should just trust literally the same group of people that did it back then to not still be doing it today?
Doesn't seem like a very realistic prediction...
Seems like when Trump supporters keep thinking this time it'll work out or maybe Wiley Coyote?
The donation form for the Harris Victory Fund literally describes how the funds you contribute are divided between the Harris campaign, the DNC, and the state parties.
And they said it back in 2016 too...
But guess what actually happened?
Hint:
The answer is in the link you didn't read.
Extra hint because you won't go read it:
They fucking lied.
You want to actually prove something?
Since you say two elections is too far back, go find how much money BVF took saying it would go to state parties, then how much money they actually got and at what point during the election.
You won't find it, because like I said, they're private organizations with no responsibility to disclose.
You're asking me to just assume they stopped doing shady shit as soon as people stopped being able to see their book, I think that's incredibly naive
