Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    No, it changes by having a chair that cares more about beating Republicans than beating progressives…

    And we have that now

    The fight over the party was over more than a month ago when the Chair election happened.

    Neoliberals lost, the party of today is not the same party as 2 months ago, the chair is basically a dictatorship with all the power and zero accountability

      Guess we’ll see. The only thing I’ve seen Dems (as a party) do in the past month is roll over and show their belly.

        You’re talking about elected politicians.

        That is not the DNC.

        Party leadership isn’t the DNC.

        For the past 30 years they’ve been intertwined, because we kept getting neoliberal chairs and the party leaders are neoliberals. And they worked together to prevent progressives from gaining ground.

        Ken Martin wasn’t born yesterday, you can look at Minnesota and what they did under his leadership as state chair, and the type of politicians who got to office with his help.

        He’s not perfect, but he won’t stand in the way of progress, and that’s all we need to get a non-neoliberal to the general in 2028.
