Inner party politics are unknown to me as I am not inner party. Ellison and Omar locally ssupport Martin.
This paragraph from the report:
Martin won the DNC chairmanship overwhelmingly on the first ballot, beating Wikler, who had the support of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Martin likes to emphasize that he did not get the backing of the “status quo” billionaires or the establishment, instead touting grassroots support.
Jeffries, Pelosi and Schumer are what is wrong with the Democratic Party. Ossification. In the saddle, shit for healthcare for people, so go figure. And old timers together with the Harris spouses and their backing and elite style fucked it up. Ken is brought in to mop up, he does somewhat, and steps of a few toes.
Big story. These hunters for his job, this close to the election, are no help in handcuffing Trump.
Let the man do the job. There will be retrospective time between this November and November 2028.
The sharp knives can come out then and Martin can defend as he may. But now? He's who is there, and I remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and her "Hillary's turn" crap against Bernie - Martin's several cuts better than that walking disaster.
As in, who says Ken is unfair? Who are the critics? What's their bitch? The New York Dems and Pelosi are not the best of people, and a conscience is needed rather than serving the wealthy while hoodwinking the people who have faced little choice since Bill Clinton fucked things up via GOP - lite.
Ihlen Omar in his corner, Kieth Ellison in his corner, that means his corner has class. A future.
I hate the stupid song, "Stronger Together" there being convention cause to think that and the balloon drop were a sign of no real substance, just narcissistic egomania of a spousal pair who have been passed up.
Good that they have. Move on. Don't undermine Martin until after the election. It will be as it is.
The old guard did not do well with Harris, so cut Martin slack. Being able to lose to Trump is not an endorsement of particularized competence.
