    They aren’t required to fund him, that’s true, but all campaign donations from the DNC are transparent. He can compare his support to Adams’ 2021 purse. They also can’t stop him from fundraising directly.

    If he makes it clear that they are withholding financial support given to prior candidates, then people will donate to him directly, and the DNC will be publicly called out for favoring past candidates. That’s the last thing they need after the Debbie Wasserman-Shultz/Hillary Clinton scandal.

      I really don’t think they care. These people have no shame. I read that 40% of the leading Democrats that endorsed Cuomo had previously called for his resignation after his numerous sexual assaults came to light. The party that lauds itself as the champion of and defender of women’s and minority rights rallied hard to support a corrupt sexual predator over a Muslim, simply because he was progressive instead of a conservative. Hell, arch sex pest Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo.

      These people have no shame. “Calling people out” or “slamming” people means nothing. If calling people out changed their behavior, Cuomo, who sexually assaulted at least a dozen women, would have never been seen in public again.

      Seriously. How can you think that leaders that openly endorse a sexual molester give a single fuck about being called out publicly for their bad behavior?

            He will not be quiet about corruption. He’ll make sure every last person in the nation hears about their wrongdoings, and use it as leverage for his campaign. Watch videos of him debating Cuomo. Not one of Cuomo’s attacks go unanswered.

            I would take it to mean that if they start to do him dirty he won’t be passive about it like Bernie, and he’ll put them on blast with proof of how they’re rat fucking him compared to their preferred candidate.

            I loved Bernie but man he should have swung low when the DNC started their shit.
