Some of the at-large members have been on the national committee for many terms. Those include stalwarts of the party establishment like Donna Brazile, Harold Ickes, Minyon Moore, and Maria Cardona, triple-hitters who have led national campaigns or party conventions, show up frequently on cable TV as political commentators, and buckrake as lobbyists and/or well-paid public speakers. Brazile is a partner at “corporate reputation strategy firm” Purple Strategies, which has worked for BP, United Airlines, NASCAR, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and PhRMA. Ickes is a partner at Tiber Creek Group, whose clients include the Greater New York Hospital Association. Moore and Cardona are both partners at the Dewey Square Group, whose clients have included Lyft, McDonald’s, MGM Springfield, Sony Pictures, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and which has engaged in lobbying to undermine state labor protections.
this is the problem with Democrats in a nutshell - thinking “you’re out of touch with lobbyists and political consultants” is a dunk on someone.
be more specific - out of touch with whom, exactly?
out of touch with the ~400 voting members of the DNC?
can you name any of those 400, off the top of your head? I can’t, and I follow politics fairly closely.
the DNC itself doesn’t even publish the complete list - it had to be leaked
