This is why we can’t have nice things:
A group of well-known local Democrats will collect campaign cash later this month -- for a Republican.
Miami Rep. Carlos Curbelo will attend an Aug. 23 fundraising reception hosted by nine Democrats, including former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz, Homestead Mayor Jeff Porter and Florida City Mayor Otis Wallace, according to an invitation to the event.
…..
I KNOW!!!!!
People, please come the fuck on. There is a huge, incendiary war already waging within the Democratic Party right now. Many of us are gnashing teeth and rending garments about the direction of the Party going forward, and how we achieve success in ‘18 and ‘20 because it seems, gee, I don’t know, kind of important. It’s almost like we have an incompetent president who is ready to burn the goddamned place to the ground, and he’s standing on a pile of leaves with a lit match and a filthy grin on his face.
So this kind of fucking bullshit fundraiser has no place in the Democratic Party. We do not fund Republicans! Why, oh why, do I need to say this out loud?!
Curbelo drew his first Democratic opponent with national party backing, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, on Wednesday.
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, as it happens, is a true Democrat with a capital “D”. She is the shiznit, folks, for real. In case the brainiacs behind the ridiculous Carlos Curbelo fundraiser were thinking to themselves “Gee whiz, we don’t have any options here, fellas! We gotta back this Republican dude because of Stuff and Things!”, they now clearly have a better option. Perhaps they should cancel the goddamned fundraiser, just a suggestion. Because they are playing right out of the “We Totally Wanna Alienate More Voters” handbook, which the Democratic Party apparently wrote and occasionally licenses.
The sophomore congressman [Curbelo] has campaigned as a moderate -- an image that can only be bolstered with Democratic financial support. Among the Democrats co-hosting the fundraiser are Ira Leesfield, a major Hillary Clinton donor, and attorney Roland Sanchez-Medina. Last year, Sanchez-Medina served as campaign treasurer for Curbelo's Democratic rival, Joe Garcia.
Curbelo voted for Trumpcare as a current representative in the House. Just let that sink in for a minute. And, oh yeah, Marco Fucking Rubio is hosting another fundraiser for Curbelo in late August. Great, that’s just fucking greeeaaaaatttt, the optics are absolutely fantastic here! Let’s simply throw everything we’ve worked for away on this goddamned malevolent guy! Fabulous!
The losing streak of the Democratic Party continues apace.
