Union leaders’ exit from DNC exposes ‘mind-boggling’ tensions inside Democratic party
Huh?
Two neoliberals superdelegate, at least one pledged for Hillary in 08 after Obama won the primary...
Both on the committee that didn't follow DNC rules for the vice chair...
Same committee that's been rigging primaries for neoliberals....
I get why the MSM is trying to lie about this and acting like it's a bad thing, but I don't know why so many people are falling for it
The voting members of the DNC elected this chair because they're over neoliberalism.
And neoliberals have never really been fighters, so now lots of them are leaving the DNC.
Like... This is a good thing.
The DNC just needs to replace 128 Congress members, and they'll be moving in the right direction
Guys guys guys.
I have an idea.
There's a really interesting bit of French history I think we should look in to
The DNC is the National party...
What do you think they'd be doing about Congress members?
Dude, you gotta chill on the Ken Martin simping a little. Trying to spin public sector and teachers union leaders as just neoliberals and David Hogg as some problem is just detached from reality. Yeah, Weingarten endorsed Clinton in 2016, but she also supported Howard Dean for chair and endorsed Elizabeth Warren in 2020. She's not some Third Way stooge. She's the leader of a seriously important union in Democratic politics. If she's the problem in the party that needs to be purged, we're fucked.
You talk about finally fighting, but since he's been chair... what exactly has he done other than mismanage it into bad news stories? Literally the only thing I hear from the DNC is drama, frequently for personnel conflicts that in no way were worth the fallout. David Hogg's election wasn't mathematically fair? Ok. Do better next time. Or add a temp position so the others can get their fair shot. Two union leaders supported your opponent? Cool, the election is over and you need to be able to work with them. Telling the heads of the AFT and AFSCME their input is no longer valued is just dumb. Nothing Martin has done warrants this level of devotion.
Yeah, that's kind of what I gathered too.
It's like everyone forgot billionaire owned media fucking lies...
If a billionaire tells you the DNC is fucking up, it's worth a closer look. Because the goal of billionaires is almost always opposite to the goals of the Dem voting base.
The Guardian might be "on the left" but that's using the same metric that would put Coumo "on the left".
