Communion Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Centrists: *steal party funding when progressives are elected to block building infrastructure* Centrists: *blame progressives when the centrist candidates underperform due to no infrastructure* Quote After Whitmer and a group of democratic socialists were elected to party leadership positions, chair, party staffers and consultants — many affiliated with the “Reid Machine” for former Sen. Harry Reid — quit the party en masse. Staffers also transferred a significant amount of party funds to a new organization, Nevada Democratic Victory (NDV), housed within the Washoe County Democratic Party, in a bid to work directly with major campaigns without the involvement of the state party. https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/monroe-moreno-elected-nv-dems-chair-ousts-democratic-socialist-incumbent Odd to blame progressives when the biggest losers in 2022 in NV were centrist Dems running national races while the state party itself made gains in the legislator (one seat short of having supermajorities in both chambers!): Imagine running a nearly 70-year-old centrist white dude in a largely Latino populist state and being like "no, we're not out of touch, it's those commies on the budget committees who are at fault".
