So, I'd like to point out the factions in charge of the Democratic party have recently received $1billion in shadow money. I think this is now being used in a media campaign to influence people towards these factions and away from liberalism. I think $1billion in shadow money buys a lot of consultants who aren't good for much else. I think this shadow money is being used to further oligarchic policy by an unresponsive cadre of elites who dominate this party.

I think I would prefer to see the left organize against this. I think such things should occur now, because the factions running the party seem to be falling more and more out of the cooperation zone. I think victory is, as always, a bit much to achieve. I do think opposing corruption in the party, including by leaving it or refusing votes if necessary, is becoming the only way to not be treated as a complicit mule waiting to be blamed.
