    It always darkest before the dawn…

    Wrenching the DNC from the neoliberals was a huge win, and means we’re not only more likely to win the next election, we’ll actually get someone willing to help while in office.

    Without neoliberals fixing the primary, we’re more likely to get a nominee that actually shares the same policy values as Dem voters.

    With them in control of the party we had zero chance of actually winning, the best result with them was things just slowly got worse.

    Wealth inequality exploded under Biden, and nothing was permanently fixed.

    So today sucks, and so will a lot of days coming up, but shit…

    At least there’s a chance for shit to get better now

        DNC chair election was in February, we got Ken Martin who was the state party chair of Minnesota.

        Where he has a very long track record of not standing in the way of voters and giving them the most popular candidates by letting fair primaries happen.

        There’s a reason people haven’t heard of that yet mainstream media suddenly started being ok with pointing out flaws of the DNC

        Now that it’s not beholden to billionaires, they want Dems to lose even tho the n xt four years will be a shit show

        Billionaires will always pick a fascist over a progressive

          Ken “we will take money from good billionaires” Martin is a neoliberal.

          The DNC is in the same hands.

            That’s the only bad thing people can say about him lol…

            It was a “gotcha question” during the chair campaign that was only asked to hurt his chances and help the neoliberals candidates.

            The question:

            Would you refuse donations from any billionaire?

            Was bait, and he isn’t a big enough idiot to fall for it.

              “The only bad thing you can say about him is that he’s happy to take orders from billionaires lol…” Is this meant to be a good thing for you?

              “From the river to the sea” is a chant used by extremists to support the destruction of Israel. It is appalling to embrace this rhetoric in this statement, which also doesn’t even acknowledge the slaughter of Israeli & American civilians.

              Cope all you want but he’s pro-billionaire, pro-Israel, and more of the same. Time will show you this.

                He said he wouldn’t refuse donations from any billionaire, because saying he would refuse donations from any billionaire would have prevented him from becoming DNC chair…

                Cope

                I’ve literally never seen that word used by someone making a rational argument, maybe someday it’ll happen someday tho.

                And yeah, he’s so “pro Israel” that the state he was chair of is one of the few out of aipacs grasp

                Have a nice life bud.

      There needs to be a next election before any of that. I’m not being pessimistic; Trump is reenacting the Nazis’ consolidation for power and he will go after free and fair elections. Hell, he’s already started with the SAVE act. It’s up to Americans whether this is right before dawn or the start of a long, long night.
