“I’ve always viewed my role as a chair of the Democratic Party to take the low road, so my candidates and elected officials can take the high road, meaning, I’m going to throw a punch,” Martin said.

He suggested, implicitly, that he would be a departure from the party’s previous chair, Jaime Harrison, telling reporters, “This is a new DNC” and that “we’re taking the gloves off.”

    Ken Martin believes there are ethical and good billionaires. Democrats are just being as idiotic as we’re used to.

      Ken Martin is no perfect angel, but he’ll make progress a lot easier than the previous chair. He helped elected reps who got a fairly progressive agenda through in Minnesota with a one seat majority

      Paid family leave, free breakfast & lunch for students, free community college for families making <80k, guaranteed paid sick leave, banned companies from holding mandatory anti-union meetings, etc.

        Nope, not unless my house rep reclassified themselves as a green.

        It fucking sucks but the US is a two party system.

        Is there any reason progressives shouldn’t take over the green party?
