  The victory fund is joint fundraising committee for the 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 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?
