    “Our 2028 nominee, whoever they are, will have to earn the support across the full breadth of America. Every region, every demographic, every generation,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said in his opening remarks to committee members on Saturday. “No shortcuts. No coronation. You want to lead this party? Go earn it. Go and earn it.”

        The DNC hasn’t picked or endorsed anyone…

        State parties are individual things, and Maine’s picked Platner to run, then swapped him.

        That’s the danger of letting any part of a party pick candidates. If your state is fucking around, bitch about your state.

        But if you don’t understand how this works, you’re not just wasting your time, you’re likely hurting the chances of stopping trump and fixing our country
