    LMAO.

    The fact that one comment during an interview, during the campaign where he had to get elected by the voting members of the DNC is the only thing out of decades of politics that people can latch onto to call this guy a neoliberal just makes me all the more confident.

    Saying “no, there are no good billionaires” in response to that question would have prevented him from ever becoming chair…

    Like, bro gave a bullshit wiffle waffle answer to a gotcha question, and that’s seriously the worst anyone can say about him?

    Like, just the fact that’s all the dirt that can be dug up over his long history with the party is enough for me to say he’s the furthest left chair in decades.

    My favorites example tho is when he camped out overnight with pro-Gaza protestors who were protesting the DNC so he could ensure their right to protest was protected and police wouldn’t hassle them.

        Literal days after the October attacks…

        He said that calling for the destruction of Israel was overboard…

        That’s too much?

        Let’s switch gears here

        If Ken Martin is not the furtherest left DNC chair we’ve had in 30 years, by all means name drop who you think it was.

          The Democratic Party is and always will be a centrist party funded by oligarchs.

          They’re already propping up another Kamala Harris run.

          Revolution against this fucked up system is truly our only option.

      Then he dug a hole he needs to get himself out of.

        Man, actually kind of sad to add you to the block list…

        But there’s not time for this bullshit and getting hung up wasting time explaining things to people that can’t understand.

        I hope you come around, but I’ll never know
