In interrupting Donald Trump’s speech to Congress, Rep. Al Green showed more vigor in opposing the president’s undemocratic, anti-worker agenda than any other act since Inauguration Day. Democrats should emulate Green, not censure him.
The party is a dictatorship where the chair has final say on almost everything and zero accountability to anyone.
Luckily we got a decent chair now.
We 100% need to change how that’s set up, but the party just took his biggest step left in 30 years.
Ken Martin doesn’t push progressive policy per say, but he gives voters want they want, and they want progressive policy from charismatic candidates. Just not standing in the way of voters would have beat trump last election.
The fact that one comment during an interview, during the campaign where he had to get elected by the voting members of the DNC is the only thing out of decades of politics that people can latch onto to call this guy a neoliberal just makes me all the more confident.
Saying “no, there are no good billionaires” in response to that question would have prevented him from ever becoming chair…
Like, bro gave a bullshit wiffle waffle answer to a gotcha question, and that’s seriously the worst anyone can say about him?
Like, just the fact that’s all the dirt that can be dug up over his long history with the party is enough for me to say he’s the furthest left chair in decades.
My favorites example tho is when he camped out overnight with pro-Gaza protestors who were protesting the DNC so he could ensure their right to protest was protected and police wouldn’t hassle them.
They voted to censure Rep Tlaib for asking that the US stop helping to bomb her family members.
Democrats are fascists with a BLM sticker and a rainbow flag, and they’re busy scraping off the rainbow flag.
A lot of them are like that, but not enough aren’t.
Which is why we need to get dirty money out of Dem primaries, regardless of what Nancy Pelosi says.
To paraphrase Kendrick:
Nice Kendrick reference
We need to do away with the party, but unfortunately building a new broad front would take years.

We don’t need a whole lot more from the party.
That remains to be seen.
They always take those left steps when they are not in a position of power to do anything with it. Then quickly shift back to the right when they are.
Unfortunately, their chair isn’t good at all.
He has stated that the Democrats would take money from “good billionaires”
There is no such thing.
LMAO.

Ah yes, the “solidarity with pro-Gaza protesters”
Then he goes and does this.

Pelosi is dirty money. Get that hag out and it’ll clean up the Dems more than anything
