    I will believe it matters when I see it, and I’m doubtful 40+ years of masquerading as progressives and ruling as conservatives is going to change anytime soon.

      and I’m doubtful 40+ years of masquerading as progressives and ruling as conservatives is going to change anytime soon.

      Then it sounds like you’re ignorant both of how the DNC works and Ken Martin’s history running Minnesota’s state party…

      The DNC chair is a dictator, he calls all the shots and is accountable to no one. For all intents and purposes the DNC chair is the national party.

      It’s been less than two months since Martin took over the DNC. Don’t blame him for what happened before he had total control.

      But seriously, look into what Minnesota has been up to. Loads of progressives and turned a battleground into a solid blue state.

      His main concern is winning elections, so he doesn’t fight progressives in primaries, because that’s what voters want.

      This isn’t blind loyalty. If I didn’t have valid reasons to support the DNC I can assure you I wouldn’t be doing it

        Don’t expect me to ignore 40+ years of history on the basis of mere promises, when broken Democratic promises paved the road to the fascism we’re having to fight today. Frankly, it’s unreasonable, and no one should expect Democrats to do what they say they’re going to do until they demonstrate it.
