News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This may be cynical but this just sounds like he wants to make people fall in line and adopt more Texas style right-wing politics.
The "we have to regain their trust" line could be copy and pasted from just about every corporate non-apology in existence. This instills little hope in me for the future of the Democratic party.
The man didn't magically appear when you learned his name...

He wins elections with progressive candidates, because that's what increases dem turnout.
What more do you want from a party chair?
If he's dirty, where's the dirt from the time he ran a state party?
I didn't say anything of his qualifications or history. I said I think his statements and future plans sound like more of the same ineffective lip service and rightward drift.
Statement
You're judging him on one quick answer to a question while he was campaigning and ignoring, well, literally everything else.
And his future plans is literally the opposite of what you're saying, because that doesn't win elections.
Again, you can look at his long history in Minnesota
No, statements. I've opined on multiple things he's said here in response to you in this thread. Your replies seem very odd at this point as it almost seems like you're responding to a discussion that isn't even happening.
This thread is 2 days old by now, but I scrolled. Didn't see anything that's not the single comment
But hey. Maybe I'm missing it.
If so, it would be absolutely trivial for you to provide a link to something else he said that you take issue with.
But I don't think you will.
