Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Is there a link or story or something about the DNC being changed out? Because afaik the DNC is the same as it ever was, funded by billionaires and PACs to push austerity, market economics and funding for Israel.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Martin
That's the new chair, his track record is winning elections, not raising a bunch of money and still losing like prior chairs.
He ran Minnesota's state party for years and it's a progressive stronghold because he didn't stand in progressive candidates way.
But you want a great sign the DNC isn't in billionaires pockets anymore?
Look at how mainstream media is treating the DNC now, there's all types of talk about how voters don't like the DNC, ignoring that a fresh guard took over in February.
When neoliberals held control of the party, the big news media channels were never critical
I guess we will see. Since feb I've still gotten a bunch of fundraising txts for shitty candidates that have lost repeatedly in hopeless districts from the DNC. Example: Fl-6 and Fl-1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida%27s_6th_congressional_district
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida%27s_1st_congressional_district
Or Texts from Corey Booker, who has been shitty since before 2016 and yet the DNC keep trying to turn him into the next Obama.
On Mar31 I got a fundraising text from "kamala," yea, no comment needed there.
If you want to win you need to back candidates that are more then just centrist dems who want to be bipartisan.
If you truly believe the GoP are fascists, then you cannot work with them at all and that isn't something I see from many of the current Dems. I guess the crop of candidates for 2026 will be revealing, but looking at Fl-1, the only dem candidate is the same one that has lost the previous 5 times, often by >10% of the vote.
Welp, again I'd recommend reading up on Martin:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Martin
And I'd be surprised if those texts were really from the DNC, if so it's probably the zombie vestiges of the "victory fund" nonsense still running bots. That's the only plausible reason anyways, for a decade the prior DNC was robbing local/state parties with that stuff, they don't care about the candidates chances because none of it was going to be used for that race anyways
