great questions, hopeful talk - we will be lucky if he becomes chair! thank you both 🙏

@benwikler.bsky.social

dpubuff.bsky.social•48 days ago

He’s the guy and if it isn’t him, I worry for the party.

forgottenxi.bsky.social•48 days ago

Also this

stef47.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yes, Ben!

ellisonx.bsky.social•48 days ago

could the DNC get someone who isn't a 68 year old white male with Cancer? That'd be a start

humblenovice.bsky.social•47 days ago

For starters, Ben Wikler is 43 years old.

joeblanda.bsky.social•48 days ago

If I had a vote, I'd vote for @benwikler.bsky.social . . . I saw the amazing work he did in Wisconsin as Democratic Party chair. He can do the same at the national level.

gjahn.bsky.social•48 days ago

🔥YES🔥 He absolutely turned WI around.
Young, smart, driven - just what we need right now.

t-antony.bsky.social•47 days ago

Did you visually check to see if they have a set of balls?

demlatino.bsky.social•48 days ago

Who was the last DNC chair? Because that person didn't do a damn thing for the Dems.

humblenovice.bsky.social•47 days ago

Jaime Harrison from South Carolina.

trljohnson75.bsky.social•48 days ago

God help us if this wississippi idiot is the dnc chair.

nikkizho89.bsky.social•48 days ago

Ben is great

humuhumu.bsky.social•48 days ago

📌

strike-sure.bsky.social•48 days ago

Which one thinks that the 14th amendment should prevent an insurrectionist from taking power?

tamigoldmann.bsky.social•48 days ago

I really like him. ♥️

profwriter.bsky.social•48 days ago

Ben Wikler would provide a new energy to the party. He’s the right choice.

amplify2024.bsky.social•46 days ago

We need more than talk and knocking on doors this time. The Democratic Party needs to raise money and use money to buy up radio stations in Spanish and English and pay podcasters nationwide to broadcast OUR message of patriotism and democracy. Making a few social media sites wouldn’t hurt either.

gloria6262.bsky.social•47 days ago

Willer is the best candidate to lead the DNC

humblenovice.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yes, he's shown results and we need more young blood leading the party.

conniejcassidy.bsky.social•48 days ago

It is very hard for me to care about this.

humblenovice.bsky.social•47 days ago

I'm sorry you have to live in a gerrymandered state like Ohio.

hopefordemocracy28.bsky.social•46 days ago

You should still care about it. We need every single person to fight back. We are entering a fascist era - we need to be ready. I think Ben will be a great leader for the DNC.

h3artwarr10r.bsky.social•47 days ago

Please post links to the other interviews so we can watch those as well

minkab.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thank you!!!

bseadeer.bsky.social•48 days ago

Will this person embrace new leadership in younger generations? We need less planks in the platform that will help all, we have parsed this party too much!

nhboxy.bsky.social•47 days ago

Ask them to commit to work together. We need all ideas!!

bevymart.bsky.social•48 days ago

he only candidate under consideration should be #DavidHogg

It's time to bring in new blood and get rid of the old people running the party

timmyturmoil.bsky.social•48 days ago

He’s running for vice chair. He should win

silentliberal.bsky.social•48 days ago

Great interview. Hope he wins.

gymjordan.kids•47 days ago

Excellent show, Marc, and thanks for the introduction to Ben! He seems like he would be a great Nat’l party leader

kristinatrew.bsky.social•48 days ago

I like him!

marthawt.bsky.social•48 days ago

I love Ben Wikler! We need his energy, vision, and optimism.

gailnightingale.bsky.social•47 days ago

Mark, you need to run, you are what we need!

maverickgator.bsky.social•48 days ago

I say George Conway.

belcaro.bsky.social•48 days ago

The DNC needs a bulldog to head it up. Ben seems good.

kathygpr.bsky.social•48 days ago

Ben's great. And we need more young people in the DNC, along with new ways of reaching people.

How about David Hogg for Vice Chair?

kathygpr.bsky.social•26 days ago

I like him. But as someone pointed out, do we really need another white guy? Shasti Conrad is in the running. She’s state chair of my state and has done well.

kathyscaman.bsky.social•48 days ago

goprnazis.bsky.social•48 days ago

FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS?? What a joke..the dems disgraced the officers who lost their life on 1/6 … 100 bomb threats, millions of votes missing, Voting irregularities… And absolute zero pushback, zero calls for an investigation from any Democrat! Democrats failed Marc .. America got fucked

democritus555.bsky.social•48 days ago

No votes, and no money, for any Democratic politician who does not reject the genocide.

humblenovice.bsky.social•47 days ago

Do you even have money to give?

lawprofpaul.bsky.social•48 days ago

It would be great to see you interview all the candidates, including @paulfordnc.bsky.social . You can see his website at https://paulfordnc.com i am a huge fan of your work and subscriber to Democracy Docket.

kebq.bsky.social•48 days ago

Democrafts have a lot of homework to do.

kathy34.bsky.social•48 days ago

I'm for Ben!

katieaq.bsky.social•44 days ago

Ben Wikler has led in Wisconsin in an environment that is so similar to the United States. He has the drive, strategy, and enthusiasm to UNITE. FIGHT. and WIN.

bostonmikeoo7.bsky.social•48 days ago

Can you please post your interview with the candidates of the all new "Common Sense" party??? Oh that's right, there isn't one......yet. Any takers out there???

bluelake54.bsky.social•48 days ago

Mr. Wikler will be great.

kate62.bsky.social•48 days ago

Great interview! Great ideas and a way forward.,

dircut.bsky.social•46 days ago

I think Ben is perfect for this position.

soux-mo.bsky.social•48 days ago

Go Wikler! He knows his shit!

psycho28.bsky.social•48 days ago

I really like him!

kerri-rice.bsky.social•48 days ago

Does Speaker Jeffries support him? Who does he support?

jessdrkn.bsky.social•48 days ago

OK, but it would be helpful if we understood how these party leaders are chosen. Are regular Democratic voters part of the process?

nancyyourfriend.bsky.social•48 days ago

Each state party chooses who votes "The 448 DNC members who will vote on Feb. 1 includes 200 state elected members from 57 states, territories, and Democrats Abroad; members representing 16 affiliate groups; and 73 current at-large members elected by the DNC." https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dnc-chair-election-set-feb-1-party-official/story?id=116205365.

jessdrkn.bsky.social•47 days ago

Thank you for posting that explainer. I've been wondering how the Democratic Party chairmanship was decided, especially now after the 2024 election fallout.

prairiehouse.bsky.social•48 days ago

This guy can't seem to unseat Ron Johnson after 25 years in office. There are 6 Repubs and only 2 Dems in WI's House delegation. Harris lost his state, despite his prediction of the opposite. Those are the real results, whatever milquetoast BS he wants to push now to get more power to waste

humblenovice.bsky.social•47 days ago

And yet Wisconsin was able to flip their state supreme court seat. Voting still matters, after all.

prairiehouse.bsky.social•47 days ago

It definitely still matters somewhat, which is why having someone capable and energetic like Ken Martin would make a difference.

cruzankenny.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thanks for bringing a great interview to independent media.
I hope if he is selected, he will still continue to visit.
More transparency is needed.

still4dems.bsky.social•43 days ago

I think Ben Wikler’s idea for 57 state party strategies is the best. It can’t be the same strategy for every state! Ben Wikler is very bright, energetic and inspiring. He should be the next DNC chair!

substantion-igra.bsky.social•47 days ago

The base isn’t going to go for him.

4dognight.bsky.social•48 days ago

This gave me some hope. First time since the election.

tuliptattoo65.bsky.social•48 days ago

I hope Wikler is chosen, he is awesome.

riverdancer.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’d like to make a suggestion. Each state and area (west, south, east, north) are unique with its own culture. To adequately address this uniqueness, perhaps it makes more sense to dispense with the standard of one person chairing the entire DNC and replacing this position with 4 chairmanships.

vbkim.bsky.social•48 days ago

I'm thinking he's the right person.

deblimax.bsky.social•48 days ago

Note to self: watch this in the morning.

jerseyshore.bsky.social•47 days ago

Great interview!

dudaatam.bsky.social•37 days ago

I would rather have you post an interview with Faiz Shakir. He is the only one that may peak some interest for the DNC chair and represent the needed. Change
