    So, somebody smarter than me help me out.

    If the shit libs abandoned ship, doesn't that open lots of spots to put in staff more in line with the Dem Socs progressive picks? Could this be a bit of a win for those progressive folks?

    scratches head

    I guess with the consultants gone, the rolo-dexes of cash cows go with them but maybe they'll be forced to go do more local work to get votes instead of relying on money bombs in media. :shrug:

      They took a bunch of money out of NV dems to try and undermine the new people coming in. They may also attempt to regroup and organise again outside of the party. This is putting DSA people on the backfoot and attempting to force them to start from scratch.

      This is in line with the kind of wrecking that happened under Labour with Corbyn.

        It will be exciting to see how they handle the situation in the coming months.

          If anything it'll at least be good for agitation, especially as in the US you might actually get reporting on it (like this piece), compared to just "everything is Corbyn's fault" here in the UK.

          /r/politics thread has a shitton of comments already, very hard to pretend this is just normal or to sincerely pretend this is somehow DSA/progressives fault, though a few are trying their best lmao.

            Every little crack in the facade helps I suppose.

        This is in line with the kind of wrecking that happened under Labour with Corbyn.

        It seems like it's the complete opposite to me. Corbyn was destroyed by the apparatus of the party which remained hostile to him, and used their position to sabotage his leadership. For example: they deliberatly mismanaged anti-semitism complaints so he'd look bad and they deliberatly funelled money away from swing seats to safe seats during the 2017 election - an election where Labour could've won if 2227 more people voted for them.
