Kamala HQ emails are fricking getting more dire and much more freqent : somethingiswrong2024

Thoughts? Her campaign inherited a frickton of money from the Biden run, raised even more from her deep-pocket friends, and blew through it like a hurricane through the Gulf Coast, leaving the DNC in debt.

Not a ton of debt, relatively speaking, but nobody knows where the heck the money went, and more importantly, she lost. If she had won, being in debt for $20 million would be nothing. But she lost, and lost badly, and the party have now lost the White House, the Senate, and the House (looks like).

Fingers are being pointed and blame is being shifted around. She pretty much has no career left in the party now, so she's dependent on friends and allies there to get her a plum job doing nothing for a big salary on some board or non-profit. Hence she needs to account for "where did the money go?" Hence the desperation to fund raise and pay back at least some of that debt.

There's also mild insinuations of the usual sort of bribery, which may be business as usual for turning out the black vote, but doesn't look good for the party of transparency and openness, and looks even worse when that vote wasn't delivered:

Another Harris challenge: After raising $1 billion in less than three months, a bevy of consultants, allies and others were often angling for a cut, including the chairman of the Democratic Party in Philadelphia. In September, the Harris operation contributed almost $25 million to other party committees, in part to quiet those demands.

Some media allies of Ms. Harris were also paid. Areva Martin, who hosts a talk show, was paid $200,000 as a media consultant, and she went on a battleground-state tour in October.

The Dems are beholden to big name, deep-pocket donors, and those donors are not happy about where their money went, so Harris has to explain what happened and make up any shortfall, if possible, to keep them happy. Otherwise the next time the party goes round with the begging bowl, those donors are going to keep their wallets closed.

The irony is that Hillary's campaign made the same mistake: bragged about how they were out-raising Trump, how he'd have to drop out of the campaign because all the big donors were going to the Democratic candidate, and that they would easily out-spend them. We all know how that went.
