"At a moment when U.S. democracy is threatened by MAGA authoritarianism and deep inequality, doubling down on private-sector solutions while ignoring redistributive policy is a dangerous distraction," said one critic.

    Maybe some Dems somewhere will pull their head from their ass, read this, and seriously do some thinking on it.

    You mean politicians like Bernie and AOC?

    Or DNC leaders like the chair?

    Because all three of them have spent the last couple months doing so in red/purple districts in preparation of flipping the house in the midterms…

      Good for those folks…

      Gonna take more than just them to accomplish the goal.

      Would that it could be more ubiquitous but I just don’t see that happening. 🤷‍♂️

        but I just don’t see that happening

        I mean, politics moves at the pace of elections…

        It’s not gonna be fast, but it’s happening. The chair wasn’t an abnormally, the voting members of the DNC have been trending progressive for decades.

        The only way neoliberals gets control of the party again is if a neoliberal becomes president, and that won’t happen with a fair Dem primary.

        I’ve spent literal decades criticizing the DNC, I didn’t do a 180 for no reason.

        If you doubt Ken Martin. Look into how he ran Minnesota and the politicians who flourished under him. He’s earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

            All I can ask is you vote in the Dem primaries.

            It’s a primary, vot for something, you’ll never have to hold your nose in a primary.

              If it comforts you any, I vote in any/all elections be they primary, local, federal, or otherwise.

              I never have to “hold my nose”, but my results have been… somewhat less than inspiring. 🤷‍♂️
