Who said it was the party leadership that wants him? It’s the people. The party leadership clearly preferred Martin, they’re the ones who voted for him.
So what? He got endorsements across the board. Robert Reich, Tammy Baldwin, Pramila Jayapal, Stacey Abrams, and a bunch of unions. Martin got no unions. Instead he got Tim Walz, some former DNC chairs, Jim Clyburn, and Amy Klobuchar.
I’m not happy about it. The leader of the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party is not going to be the strong progressive fighter we need right now. What bothers me about Big Labor is they take all the Dems power but then their very own members vote Republican. Dems are in a rut.
Martin is a progressive. DNC members actually bucked the party here—the establishment wanted Wikler (I did too). Martin’s strategy sounds similar to Wikler’s so I’m warming up to him.
Ken Martin needs to fight every day,
To crush GOP lies in a bold aggressive way.
Push back hard against the dishonest crew.
Battle for values that Democrats hold true.
Kind of. Most people wanted Ben Wikler but seems it’s more about knowing the DNC voting delegates personally. Idk, maybe Martin will be okay but he’s not the one people are looking to for real leadership.
Ok I totally get that - probably agree with it - but there’s these reply bots with no followers stiltedly telling us so on here and I wonder why that would be a focus. It’s just weird.
My thoughts now are, so? DNC is gone. Democrats have rolled over. They and Biden had their opportunity before T took office. Before the election! Now we are F- - -ed.
Personally I’m ok with this. We need someone who knows how to put up a fight in rural America & Martin hasn’t lost a state-wide race since taking the state democratic party over.

Why are the Democrats continually in their own way?!
