In March, the DCCC announced its policy against progressive challengers of incumbent Dems. But the policy has been met with widespread scorn, and may be starting to backfire. Ryan Grim, Eugene Puryear, and Jacqueline Luqman discuss the situation

Ryan Grim is a treasure.
We want the government to work for the people, not the "Elites" or corporations. Vote progressive and Bernie Sanders 2020, for a more just society.
DCCC and DLC would have Trump re-elected before letting our progressive candidate in.

zero F's
We have to support progressives! We the people! Support people who are trying to run against these deadbeat people in congress who don't even know the people who live in their districts let alone work for them!!!
Everything is a rich man's trick. Everything is a rich, white man's trick. There is a video by that name as well. Youtube video: Everything is a Rich Man's Trick
Marie Newman endorsed Gillibrand. How progressive for her to endorse the most neoliberal candidate. Way to fall for a branding term.
y'all in baltimore!? Great
DCCC ring leader Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill) is a patriarchal racist. HER DCCC official rule keeps women and PoC from seeking higher office. Thereby, Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill) is a patriarchal racist.

No i will not support dccc
#DCCCGFY #DNCGFY I will support Progressive candidates, not you.
Jacquie! â¤ï¸
The Elititist DEVILS sure can get their stooges/ organizations to hurt the working class people!
People have to wake up; now is already late.
Sorry I was hard on you in another vid comment Ryan
Consultant class are the true stalinists here. Know your history they’ll do anything to keep their positions
Sounds like more evidence of how women can be just as unqualified to represent anyone else as men. You can always rely on every individual to pursue their personal interests before the best interests of another. I don't think the advent of government was intended to function as a mob. The road to ruin, as they say, is paved with good intentions.
The sooner we realize Dems and Repubs are the corporate parties, the better off Progressive values will be. We have a progressive people’s party called the Green Party. Ready to go. Nation wide (almost). All we need is candidates with the guts leave the corporate controlled parties. When the DCCC screws us again, I hope we can all stampede to the Green Party, with Bernie and Tulsi.
If we can't get a real progressive who can bring meaningful change in 2020, it's time to move everyone over to a 3 party and boycott the Democratic Party. Nobody should ever vote Democratic again. Another thing we can do is make all states open primaries register as independents kneecap the politicians ability to target only Republicans and Democrats, they'll be forced to address all citizens!
Cheri Bustos is a better name for a porn star than a congress woman.
It’s not about being “old and white†damnit. It’s about policy. Watch yourself, Bernie is old and white, and he inspired this movement, so check your bias, please.
That assumes they want to win. Had they wanted to win in 16, they clearly would have went with the ppl and nominated Bernie. But they did not.
The time is ripe to break away from the republicans and the democrats and start a labor party.
The Democrats are quite undemocratic. So disappointing.
what about the black (gerrymandered)caucus who all supported hillary over bernie….
This is why JUSTICE DEMOCRATS are so Important.
DCCC needs to change to NDCCC – the non-Democratic CCC. So now if I don't like my Democratic congress person, I won't be able to vote because no one can run a viable campaign against him/her during the primary. Well I guess though I could vote for the Republican in the general election. so the NDCCC is saying if you don't like our pre-selected candidate either don't vote or vote Republican. WTF is wrong with these corporate ass kissers?
Does this come as a surprise to ANYONE?!
It illustrates a why Progressives are ditching the Establishment Dems. Not only do we pose a threat to their DONORS, but in truth, ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS LOSE.
If your tired of losing with incrementalism, perhaps THAT (incrementalism) is why you’re losing.
The type of consultants that Eugene is talking about are more of the strategist variety. Ryan is describing more of the logistics type, they're not even really consultants.
“You can’t have a revolution in a counter revolutionary party†– Jill Stein, Green Party.
The DCCC is sowing the seeds of it's own extinction by trying to slow the growth of the progressive movement. They have officially declared is civil war on progressives, and it will not end well for these establishment sycophants…smh
When the both parties both work for the right this is the result.
Sounds like an agenda groups such as "Justice Democrats" and others who already have organizations in place and the expertise within Their ranks to step up, advise and train newcomers into the industry for the people.
I'm glad to hear that the DCCC's new tactic could be backfiring. Propping up an invidious status quo is never a good thing
Mailers and yard signs are both antiquated ideas, I'm 42 and neither method has ever persuaded me to vote for anyone. They are both just a waste of resources .
With this two party system things will never change
being progressive is a way of life ..moving forward not back .. and the one party fits all is not working any longer republican and republican lite
Jaqueline bringing the good news again! Keep it up!
Democrats ,Corporate, Corporatist, Collusion DCCC
PLEASE!! VOLUNTEER &SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS FOR PRESIDENT 2🔥2🔥
Tulsi2020
i wish progressives would stop talking about black vs white identity politics and focus on progressive issues — which would you rather have: Bernie or Kamala?
Is this a joke post? Why would a Progressive run Democrat?? Bs! No Progressive would run Democrat!
The DNC hasn't learnt a thing and will hand Trump the next election……again.
The Corporate Dems have to go
Too many cliques and anagrams and I don't understand a thing. Old school English but Progressive I can understand.
Sanders 2020!
Ditto. I always explain to the DCCC telemarketer why I’m not making any contributions for the foreseeable future.
HIPOCRASY ,its a grown up word for gop people:( ,hungry Hipos
It's very hard to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on them not understanding it.
DCCC pushes back against energy in the party! We can't have that.
