You don't say.

How the hell is it only 83% of Democrats?

IRL an opener like that receiving a response like that would probably be a sign that these two people are absolutely made for each other, IMO. They'd probably be a fantastic couple and wind up growing old together.

But are they ... ignoring the voices of progressives like Mamdani, Sanders, and AOC?

Almost certainly.

They are already proving the rule of law they claim to adore means nothing to them on many fronts, and on this specific topic of Mamdani have already gone from 0-100. When a court blocks their attempt to revoke his citizenship, then what? "Accidental" ICE abduction I guess, but that might be a little risky even for them with such a high profile and beloved politician.

These motherfuckers never even learned what a prefix was in 4th grade.

Of course he did. The last thing Trump needs to stay in the whitehouse until old age finally takes him, and have the justification that he thinks will be sufficient to start murdering dissidents in the streets is for one side or the other to pop off and the other side to react.

Literally because he would be unbiased.

And now people are complaining that he’s unbiased instead of biased in the opposite way?

So are you claiming he's a progressive or that we shouldn't care that he's not? Because I feel like this started out one way, and is ending another.

Have you never read any political history?

Do you not already know what happens when after a regime change the new one decides to do all the fucked up shit the last one did, but to the opposite group of people?

AND ALSO you claim that wanting an actual progressive to chair the DNC is wanting the democrats to do all the same fucked up shit Trump is doing now? Are we having the same conversation?

I can't imagine how you've taken that from my comments.

Edited to add - if you like Martin that's fine by me. I don't see how you are holding him up as some shining progressive example though, and you've provided nothing but trust me bro to back up that stance.

But what the absolute fuck does that have to do with the DNC?

Well, you'd think the DNC chair would be involved in discussions of strategy, but WTH do I know?

This source any better for you? (And speaking of which, did we forget David Hogg when claiming Martin was progressive?)

DNC Elects Moderate Ken Martin as New Chair, Shunning Calls from Progressive Base (FYI that's a link to Democracy Now)

I didn’t click your link, but I hovered and know why you hid it now.

LOL I didn't hide it. That's how you hyperlink things on the internet. It's not like you wouldn't see it upon clicking.

Having said that, I didn't realize it was AI trash.

OTOH, I have provided at least one source to backup my assertion that he's NOT super progressive and does not represent something other than status quo. It turns out it was a shitty source, but I"m also sure that's not where I first saw a similar analysis, so I'll find you a better one.

You have provided trust me bro.

I'd love to see some evidence that the DNC is becoming more progressive. So far I don't see that. I'm not arguing with you out of spite, I'm arguing because I think they are too beholden to corporatism to do anything else, and I don't feel (up to now) that Martin represents a break from that.
