Why are so many people stuck on a single comment he made during the DNC chair campaign when he was asked if he'd take donations from billionaires?
Do you legitimately think he'd have won the chair election by answering no?
And why did so many people all discover this comment from over a month ago about 48 hours ago?
I'm legitimately asking because I followed the chair election pretty damn closely, and even at the time it was made it just wasn't a big deal....
But most importantly:
I didn't say he should be, I said I want to include him.
He has a long and respectable history at the state level, and I have no reason not to be optimistic that he'll stay that way...
Yet.
So I want him to keep doing the right thing and earn on a spot on that list.
Why the absolute about-face from you on the DNC over the last couple weeks?
They're not stuck on this single comment. They're seeing the trend from the DNC over the last few decades and seeing more of the same in his statement.
And what does that tell you about where their allegiance lies? I can't believe you think this comment helps your argument.
I've been saying since the day Biden lost that the DNC chair election determines if I support the DNC as hard as possible or push for a third party.
Ken Martin was one of the candidates I consider "good enough".
It would be easier to see that side of it, if there was more than one I cident of him saying something "bad".
Dude was campaigning in an election where voting members of the DNC were the only ones who could vote. A "hard no" would have prevented him from becoming chair.
Who cares?
Their only power is electing a chair in years a republican is president.
That's all the DNC is really, some people who vote on who the chair is, and around 20 people in other leadership positions the chair appoints.
The DNC is not some huge unchangeable monolith, don't blame fresh leadership for last 30 years of shit decisions.
Now, I answered all your questions. So if you'd be so kind I'm legitimately interested in this:
Where and when did you first see that comment?
