Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me.
(confirming Natasha Korecki tweet)
Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.

This would be the best news since the election.
And he beat the GOPper-Ganda machine Charlie Sykes and Scott Walker set up here.
we did everything right, they picked the wrong guy and we know it 🤷🏽♀️
he was picked to destroy gov't because it helps too many people
i know who supports higher wages, workers right to organize, paid time off
i know who prioritized healthcare and transportation
I know who sees diversity in the economy and boardroom as a strength

The only statewide races Dems have lost have been by 1 point or less and that's due to lousy DC consultants that Wikler wanted to go around.
Wikler and his family live 3 miles away from me here.
Hoping he runs.
If not, then it won't matter.

But it’s got nothing to do with leftism, it’s because Weaver worked for Dean Phillips and blames Wikler for his own failure to get his client on the Wisconsin primary ballot. Weaver’s an opportunist with no strong ideology.
But someone in line with Bernie's values in that position would be the best thing for the party. Dems gotta become the workers party again.
Wikler was a Bernie guy in 2016, by the way. He's as legit as they come.
It's more about rhetoric and centering the worker. Not so much about policy.
Year round organizing in all 50 states. Yes, please!
See Biden expanding on Trump policies.
It's fun cause it's so easy to prove you wrong.

Context: Ronald Reagan a Republican handed out 30 million US citizenships. Is that to woke lib?
I have first hand experience of @benwikler.bsky.social and his skills. He is truly amazing, inspiring, and effective. Head and shoulders above the other candidates. No offense to them! He is just that good.
