The lesson to learn is if we run uncharismatic candidates who are substantially further to the right than the Dems voter base, and the most thought the candidate gives the voting base is:
Its fucking "no one", and it's been that same answer for a long time.
We have a fair DNC now that won't try to shove a conservative down America's throats. So we have a chance to win.
But if we run a conservative as a Dem, Republicans win.
It's really fucking tiring to see those conservatives blame trans people for the lose. That had nothing to do with it. It might be the final straw for some people, but there was a shit ton of reasons people couldn't hold their nose this time.
Do you have a link to a story about this? I don't doubt you, I just want to read more about it.
I'm not sure what you mean...
The chair has absolute power and is accountable to no one.
Before the current DNC chair was elected (just a few months ago) they had been head of the Minnesota state party for about a decade.
That's a very long political track record to look at, and that's why the DNC voting members elected him
Are you asking for a summary of the last decade of Minnesota state politics that shows Martin ran fair primaries which resulted in progressive Dems getting majorities?
I would love this summary if there is one.
The only thing I had heard about the DNC leadership was them electing a progressive to vice chair on "accident" and then kicked him out after they realized he would be supporting progressive canidates
You’re thinking of Vice Chair David Hogg.
Hogg pledged to primary ineffective democrats and the party crucified him for it. Current chair Ken Martin opposed this, proposing a change to bylaws that would require impartiality in primaries.
I am firmly with Hogg on this. Progressives need to be supported and conservative Democrats purged. Republicans with a D next to their name are no less an existential threat than those with an R. I don’t see Ken Martin as promising in any way whatsoever.
I just wondered if you had a link to a story or analysis summarizing that, since I wasn't aware of any of it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll look it up.
Right, because Trump was a better option. Im so glad we imported the fascism directly this time instead of watching it take shape in other countries. Congratulations, we'll all be trying to avoid the death camps at some point in the next 5 years.
Ah, but withholding my vote means my soul is pure and I don't own these consequences!
The fact that there's a mob of downvotes from white lily cowards says it all.
American puritans, shut the fuck up.
Saw a video of Dr Umar admitting to not voting and using it to virtue signal. Like bitch there is an active genocide going on and the community you claim to want to protect and uplift is about to be ratfucked into participating in it.
Nah, it's very much locally sourced
