Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Ken Martin said he would release the autopsy, and you're suggesting that he meant release it only to the DNC and not to the public? Buddy, you're really reaching here. Did you watch the Pod Save interview that I linked? It makes your position look quite foolish and ahistorical.
As for progressives voting in primaries, I want the maximum amount of them to vote. Lying to them about the virtues of the DNC chair is not a good strategy to get them to vote, honesty works better.
The standard after election report, yes, he said he would release that to dnc members
Do you understand that "dnc members" is less than a thousand people and I cludes everyone that put him in the chair position but definitely not either of us...
Like, can you at least acknowledge that what you've linked was Martin saying he'd release to DNC members?
You keep sliding by that and I legitimately can't tell if you understand that yet.
I'm not sure why you're hung up on this. Yes he said he would release it to DNC members. And now he is not releasing it.
Releasing it to the DNC is functionally equivalent to releasing it to the public, on its release there is media speculation and leaks. That is why they aren't even giving it out to the DNC imo.
Now that I've bit and responded to your aside, will you dare to tackle any of my questions you've avoided? What is your take on Ken Martin's performance on Pod Save? Do you think his performance will increase or decrease progressive voter turnout in the primaries?
Ok, making some progress...

So, a committee reviewed the report...
They briefed the members on it, a summary was provided to them, and the plan to move forward..
You though, you think that even though the summary and plan was put out to members, that doesn't mean anything unless the full report (which again, the DNC made and would be releasing only to the DNC)?
Like...
Instill don't see any logic.
They made the report...
If they're hiding something, why wouldn't they just not put it in the report, so they could release it?
If the goal was what you're saying the goal was, it would be incredibly easy to handwaved away if the current DNC had zero ethics.
They could release anything, say that was the report and move on.
I'm sorry man, I've given you longer than most. I truly hope you're just legitimately having trouble understanding and someone else will help you
But after so long, I gotta throw in the towel, to many people just want to eat up time.
You're right, I am legitimately having trouble understanding your position.
It seems like you've given up on defending Ken Martin though, so that is progress. Hopefully we can both now agree he is bad for progressivism and the left.
