I’m chronically online, very progressive, and pretty in the weeds with politics. The only reason I know Ken Martin’s name is the story about him vs David Hogg.
Hogg’s message of removing ineffective democrats and fighting for progressive causes seems good to me.
What is Ken’s value proposition? I tried googling to see his platform or what he’s accomplished, and all I can find are articles about Hogg or him getting elected.
Is he the one sending Bernie/AOC out to fix relationships with red voters?
Hogg’s message of removing ineffective democrats and fighting for progressive causes seems good to me.
And Ken agrees it needs done and is taking action that will result in that…
Because he knows that’s what will increase dem turnout.
It’s just he believes “the party” as an entity shouldn’t have any bias at all on the candidates. So a vice-chair should never be saying “____ needs primaries” even if everyone at the DNC agrees.
Thats not the job of the DNC as Ken sees it, and he’s right
The largest problem with the DNC for decades has been what Hogg wanted to do, because it’s what neoli erals have been doing Hogg’s entire life. He’s never had a DNC doing it’s actually job.
Is he the one sending Bernie/AOC out to fix relationships with red voters?
Since 2016 the “victory fund” bankrupted state parties. Allowing Republicans to capture the house. All that money went to DNC and Hillary/Biden/Harris
We’re 8 months deep in the largest redistribution of funds from DNC to state parties. With extra money going to red/purple states where we can pick up seats.
Those red/purple states now have the money to host Bernie/AOC, and do other stuff they couldn’t afford to do during campaigns, let alone a year out from an election.
They’re literally all staffed up at campaign levels already
It’s a bottom-up structure, which is how the Dem party was meant to be.
