Angry Donors Turn Off Money Flow to ‘Hopeless’ Democrats

Donors are rejecting the stumbling Democratic Party as they see nothing worth supporting in the weeks since President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the White House.

The Hill reports the once-reliable supporters are still angry about the election results, the amount of money spent for such a slim return, and uninspired by anything their side has put forward since.

“I’ll be blunt here: The Democratic Party is fricking terrible. Plain and simple,” one major Democratic donor told the outlet. “In fact, it doesn’t get much worse.”

A second donor was equally unabashed in their criticism.

“They want us to spend money and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking,” the donor said. “The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?”

Democratic strategist Steve Schale, who served as the director of the pro-Biden super PAC ‘Unite the Country,’ attributed some of the donor reluctance to fatigue, which he said happens after every election.

But, Schale acknowledged to The Hill, “There is genuine frustration.”
