    The neoliberals no longer have the chair…

    Ken Martin does…

    And the same DNC voters who elected him, elected David Hogg as a vice chair…

    Like, this is the party.

    Why would we push for a new one, when we just got control of the old one after decades?

      We’re not doing another 2016

      We can have leftist leadership or admit we want a fascist dictatorship.

      The DNC have had over 50 years to choose to force their rich doners to make concessions. They’ve shown they aren’t interested.

      The Neoliberals don’t get to be in charge anymore.

        They’re literally not tho…

        Like, the battles were fought, the war was won…

        You just don’t seem to be politically engaged enough to have noticed.

            You’re blaming the people elected to DNC leadership of February 2025 for things done in November of 2024 and earlier…

            Why?

          So in your view, the current makeup of democratic leadership, representatives and senators is what “fixed” should look like?

            democratic leadership, representatives and senators

            The DNC is the party…

            The DNC is saying we need to primary those elected politicians because they no longer reflect the values of the Dem voter base.

            The neoliberals are no longer running the party (which again, is the DNC)

            But I applaud you for asking when you weren’t sure

      Martin has been making the same AIPAC-slave moves as the last dem corporation leader. The time you spent learning his name was completely wasted. He might as well be the last guy.
