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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yup. No one else comes close aside from Bernie
Seconded.
Thirded.
And my axe!
I disagree with her stance on the 2nd amendment but I'd still vote for her because I believe she has our country's best interests in mind.
The DNC is beholden to money so this will never happen.
Not my first pick. Or 2nd... or 3rd.
The sheep dogs never get elevated to positions of power.
We've tried nothing and we are out of ideas
Have you tried more bipartisanship?

LMAO
Lobotomized Obama
They are dissatisfied but will do nothing to change it. When the DNC pushes the same candidates they are unhappy with, they will still vote for them.
Why pretend the DNC is more than a chair and ignore that we just got the most progressive chair since the rise of neoliberalism?
There's never been an ounce of progressive in the DNC. The answer to the exact same corporations lobbyists and bankers that Republicans do and people are so confused how things end up being the same
The current chair has spent over a decade running Minnesota's state party...
Before his election as Chairman, Ken spent two decades working for progressive candidates and causes. He played key leadership roles on various campaigns, including Dayton for Governor in 2010, Hatch for Governor in 2006, Kerry for President in 2004, Humphrey for Secretary of State in 2002, and Gore for President in 2000. Ken led the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment campaign in 2008, which dedicated funding to the arts, environment, conservation, and parks and trails in Minnesota. It is the largest conservation finance measure in the nation to ever become law.

It's not a hypothetical how he'll be.
Although maybe you're just still under the impression prior dnc chair's weren't giant pieces of neoliberals shit since the 90s, and arguably all the way back to Jimmy Carter's days.
It's a very low bar and Martin easily clears it to be "most progressive dnc chair"
So it sounds like the DNC is using him as a sheepdog like they are using Bernie and AOC. Whenever they're not in a position of power, they all talk very progressive, very forward thinking. Once they come back into power all of that gets shoved back into the closet.
The DNC leadership will never allow anyone or anything become an obstacle to their power
So it sounds like the DNC is using him
...
What?
The DNC chair has all the power and zero accountability...
He is DNC leadership...
Have you considered putting effort into learning about how our political system works since you care so much?
most progressive chair since the rise of neoliberalism
That’s not the flex you think it is
They had Bernie and stabbed him twice. Fuck the DNC
