Episode 15: The Enshittification of Local Journalism (ft. Joanne McNeil) On the Zuckerberg Lens and Forever Followers and where we go from here

Sean rose is going to run at large city council. I am asking him to resign as chair of the WDCC (Worc Dem City Committee) so he has no conflict or favor. I appeal to him to resign. We don’t need current elected officials in these seats we need people that want to GROW the pool of candidates.

I've described their fundraising tactics, and not just Kamala's but the entire DNC's, as an abusive partner.

I don't know what the "Fight Fund" would be for because there's no fight.

Also just blatantly lying.

We don't need to count every vote anywhere to know that this campaign lost badly. You want my money to, what...figure out the 10th of a large percent you lost by? After you used funds like you did?

Punk, I can't believe I wasn't the FIRST person added. Even before yourself!
