Why not just buy a lottery ticket or go to the casino? If you're going to piss away money, you might as well get a chance of getting something in return.

It's not like it was some psychic nostradamus prediction.

He was an old guy in politics. He had already seen the shit.

yes, I believe only dues paying members are allowed to vote on party business like budgets, officer elections, platform conventions, etc

There are certainly much better uses for your money than giving directly to the DNC.

I mean, the dues you pay are apportioned between the county and state parties and there probably is some kind of fee the state parties pay to the DNC

but the majority of the money is wasted by operatives way below the DNC level

Huge waste of money, but it is your money to do what you will with it, but there are so many things your money would be better spent on.

So you look at an organization that wants to raise your taxes, take away your self defense, flood your community with illegal aliens and migrants, make it harder to operate a business, hinder economic growth, reduce our manufacturing sector, increase unemployment and reduce your health insurance options, and not only do think "Yeah, that's nice...."

You want to give them your money?

I've made donations, but how do you pay dues?


it depends on where you are

some states/county parties don't do this, but I think that most do

here is mine, for instance: http://pulaskicountydems.org/become-a-member/

here is one from a different state: http://waupaca.wiscdems.com/join/

Both parties are bad, but you have to pick one because the third parties get zero media coverage and if you're an independent running for office, you basically only have a chance if you're rich and famous.

democrats are still only contesting 42/100 state house seats

BUT that is how many they ended up fielding in 2016, and they have several months before the filing deadline

do you anticipate a blue wave in state elections, CE?
