And that’s basically it!
This person regularly claims that Ken Martin’s leadership position heralds the end of that era. There’s nuance here and I don’t think we actually have clarity yet.
For example, the DNC very recently voted against banning AIPAC money in their primary elections. To be fair, they opted instead for a broad resolution condemning dark money…but that doesn’t actually prevent AIPAC from flooding primary elections with cash to tip the scales. It also doesn’t necessarily prevent dark money contributions either.
So, to me this signals nothing has changed at all. Typical weak sauce Dems, trying to get away with saying the bare minimum and actually doing nothing. I’m cynical of the party’s ability to do anything other than play identity politics pattycakes while serving the rich and Israel, and expect the same old tricks to either ratfuck or completely cancel primaries in favor of anointed reps who work for Israel above America. Consider the fact that they’re already applying massive pressure to prevent anyone from attempting to primary Schumer, one of the worst offenders of this type of treason and frankly looking quite likely to die in office as well.
Time will tell, but don’t get too optimistic…
Still waiting anything to happen that will prove it's changed with him as chair. What's sad is givesomefucks also cheers on anything the dnc does as an example of it changing.
