DNC creates new restrictions for corporate donations (as donors dry up)

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday passed a resolution banning donations from corporate contributors whose areas of interest come into conflict with the DNC's stated values.

The resolution, which was introduced by California member Christine Pelosi, passed unanimously. Pelosi is the daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Pelosi has introduced similar resolutions before that were shot down over concerns over which industries the measures would target.

The move was celebrated on Twitter by progressive members of the Democratic Party who have been pushing to reduce corporate influence in the party.

“No, the Senator wants you to send her check to the ‘Good, Good Government PAC’ instead. When they tell us your check has cleared the bill will be voted on as promised.
...It’s a DNC rule.”

Chick-fil-A is probably banned. If so, they should donate so it can be returned.

They’re just posing. They took plenty of cash from Weinstein.

“DNC creates new restrictions for corporate donations (as donors dry up)”

I’m sure the facist “antifa” kooks living in dumpsters will make up the deficit in donations.

“banning donations from corporate contributors whose areas of interest come into conflict with the DNC’s stated values.”

Why would they pass a resolution that bans no one? The DNC has no “values!”

Excellent point. Obviously like all else with the Democrats it for show only. Some will be fooled by that “ban” and believe they are righteous after all.

Welllll since DNC “values” are opposed to just about everything in a modern capitalist economy, they should just swear off all corporate donations, period.

Yes, the RATs think that they have perfected the “process” whereby one can pick up a turd by the “clean end!” But they haven’t!
