I’m having flashbacks to the 2016 primary. They had a guy like Mamdani in policy and principle and decided to put their finger on the scale for Hillary. The 2020 primary wasn’t much better, although it seemed a bit more fair however they could have run anyone and won. Have they finally learned their lesson? They’ll probably be able to win with anyone in 2028 depending on the Republican candidate, so why won’t they run a lackey for the rich again?
The fact that you keep using “they” means you don’t understand the DNC power structure…
The chair is basically a dictator, 100% power, 0% accountability.
Martin ran Minnesota for a decade. Either he doesn’t work against progressive and is a great chair, or he’s completely incompetent at stopping them. Either way, this is our best shot to get a progressive to the general
The chair is basically a dictator, 100% power, 0% accountability.
Ha, someone made them dictator and the DNC needs money. Just wait. A status-quo candidate will be pushed by corps and billionairs. I’m betting they’ll push Pete Buttigieg.
Billionaire owned media is fearmongering because the DNC isn’t currently raising money, but they have the keys to the “victory fund” and we’re like 9 months deep into the biggest reinvestment from the DNC to state parties ever.
The DNC doesn’t need money, certainly not as much as they currently have 3 years out from a presidential election.
Just wait. A status-quo candidate will be pushed by corps and billionairs.
100%. It would be incredibly naive to think otherwise.
But money ain’t enough to get a neoliberal past the primary. That’s why since 2008 the neoliberals consolidated more and more power into the DNC that they never anticipated losing…
But they did
Just like the de-regulation of broadcast regulations allowed billionaires and corps to buy up every journalistic institution, and then it immediately blew up in neoliberals faces, making a strong DNC has fucked them because they lost control of it.
But I hope you’re right, AOC would be amazing.
I pay more attention than most, and have hated the DNC for 30+ years.
Martin won’t influence it either way. And neoliberals are so unpopular the only way they can get past the primary is a long sustained propaganda movement to convince people the DNC is worthless to depress primary turnout.
No matter what happens, we need to get people to vote in primaries. We can’t afford someone like Newsome or Pritzker making it to the general and then the oval, because they’ll name a chair that’ll never let go of power.

Literally the opposite…
