you are fooling yourself.

That puts candidates in lower profile, but not less significant races at a disadvantage.

If Martin needs to muzzle his staff, that’s not a good sign.

Yikes.

I think this guy needs to go.

Forcing NDAs after that mess? Seriously? This guy isn’t fit to run a bake sale to raise money for a local park, let alone a political organization.

Given how bad of a fuck up Trump’s term has been, the DNC should be raising a ton of money.

He needs to go. He’s been a disaster from the start.

We shouldn't be giving our playbook or cash-flow vulnerabilities directly to opposition trackers before the midterms. I think it's standard operational security. Every major national organization protects its internal financial deliberations from leaking prematurely to the press.

Another point: down-ballot races are exactly why the DNC's internal budgeting must be kept secure. If opposition groups get early leaks of where the DNC plans to plug financial gaps in lower-profile races, they can easily counter-spend. Operational secrecy protects our most vulnerable candidates. Guarding that data isn't a sign of panic... it's a necessity when coordinating tight budgets.

A big ol' nothing-burger.

NDA's are (or at least were, in trump 1.0) nonbinding according to the courts. trump went ahead with them anyway, and meted out punishment himself rather than involving courts.

I hate to see even parts of our Democratic party give into some of the machinations of the Republican party. Use what they do against
THEM... not to cover your own behind! Reality has a well known liberal bias, and once brought out into the open, it can never be unseen. And that will hurt us now, and in the future, IMO.

Conflating standard corporate data security with Trump's authoritarian overreach doesn't just miss the mark... it actively smears the Democratic party and manufactures cheap distrust among our own base as well as the independent voters we need to attract.

Trump used NDAs to silence whistleblowers and hide personal misconduct. The DNC is a private organization using standard protocols to protect proprietary financial strategies, budgeting timelines, and election playbooks from opposition trackers. Protecting data from political opponents isn't "learning from Trump" ... in reality, it's basic operational security used by every major corporation and non-profit in America.

Conflating standard corporate security with Trumpian overreach ignores how modern, professional organizations actually protect their assets and strategies.

to me, it's all politics, public or private, it affects us all the same.

who doesn't seem to grasp the gravity of what we're up against in defeating Trump and his Congressional enablers. Ben Wickler would've been a much better choice. I'm also concerned that the DCCC is wasting precious resources trying to choose their general election candidates in too many dem primaries. Dem voters must choose the DEM nominees and not the DCCC.

WTF does this "Dem" have against free speech and transparent government?
