Midwest is best? :)

altron.bsky.social•96 days ago

And how do we push on that one?

coyotebee.bsky.social•96 days ago

Minnesota Supremacy, get Ken in there. Make the DNC the DFL and get back to the roots.

eflor.net•96 days ago

honestly they should give @portiaaboulger.bsky.social a communication job

riffrandall.bsky.social•96 days ago

The MN DFL has lost ALL of its rural seats under Ken Martin’s leadership.

Hopefully rigging the primary will be campaigned on

Lol. Ken Martin's an empty suit and complete waste of oxygen.

thecsar1.bsky.social•96 days ago

I have to say I do like the idea of someone from the Midwest taking charge. We need to secure the Midwest if we plan to win.

janekleeb.bsky.social•92 days ago

Our party has a leader ready to be DNC Chair on day one @kenmartin73. He has the respect of state parties. He understands and works with the grassroots. He has the strongest record of fundraising and wins of ANY state chair. Ken is ready to reform the DNC. Let's stand with him https://kenforchair.com

We should pick one of them to consolidate behind
Far too often has the left been divided in races

robertrowley.bsky.social•95 days ago

As long as it's not that pro-terrorist.

fxsstlouis.bsky.social•96 days ago

Emma on the show just now:

“Liz Cheney for DNC chair it is…”

🤣

fxsstlouis.bsky.social•96 days ago

Hear, hear!

techwizard.bsky.social•96 days ago

Is there any way to actually affect the outcome of the process?

bakler5.bsky.social•95 days ago

I have been increasingly more happy that I live in MN, especially since the election. I really hope our state can be a beacon of what's possible with leftist policies

tomfromsomewhere.bsky.social•96 days ago

Time for a generational change. Since 2016 Democrats once won narrowly and lost twice to a clown fascist.

nightjanit0r.bsky.social•96 days ago

Watch them put Debbie back in.

abachalypse.bsky.social•96 days ago

Watch Martin O'Malley get selected as part of the Dems braindead strategy to shift to the right.

quarterrican04.bsky.social•96 days ago

As a Wisconsonite, I'd pick Ken Martin of those two. The Wisconsin Dem party is more competent, but only on GOTV. not responding on policy. Wasn't Keith Ellison Bernies pic in 2017 for DNC? Does he want it?

coyotebee.bsky.social•96 days ago

I kinda want to keep Keith Ellison here in MN to fight the legal fight for us Minnesotans tho.

quarterrican04.bsky.social•96 days ago

Fair. He's just the only actual contender from the Bernie wing i could think of

hudsonrivercrew.bsky.social•96 days ago

I've come out of a self-imposed social media exile after 4 yrs, mostly for my own plans. But I wanted to say that I appreciate you, Sam, and the rest of the crew for saving my sanity a little. I'm an anarchist and a pragmatist and you all provide a lot of value on the policies and isssues

figtion.bsky.social•96 days ago

Tim Walz being the DNC chair is def fan fiction, but I can dream😔

theclydesroomie.bsky.social•96 days ago

Appreciated.

tyranitar14.bsky.social•96 days ago

I agree re: Wikler (don’t know about Martin), but didn’t David Dayen report that sources told him that Wikler has no interest in running?

jeffwaldorf.bsky.social•96 days ago

I’m going to look into them. Thank you Emma!

jb495.bsky.social•96 days ago

DNC is going to pick the most right-wing Dem they can find because the Left “cost them the election” by caring about trans rights and genocide. Being a decent human being is not on the agenda going forward I guess

fuzzsmurf.bsky.social•96 days ago

Hypothetically Midwestern voters are responsive to progressive policy (lots of supporting evidence in polls/local races) Dems have nothing left to lose, let's just put the hypothesis to the test without interfering, just once. Nebraska more likely to flip than Texas, we don't pour money into Neb.

nostalgicinternet.bsky.social•89 days ago

But should.

🔵 here - folks will listen. We were out spent. Dan Osborn should have won but the smear campaign got ugly.

sephirivers.bsky.social•96 days ago

How do we participate in the fight? Is there anything we can do to support the candidates?

shorap.bsky.social•96 days ago

Place ya bets on if the dems choose an even worse pick than the last couple have been.

orrog.bsky.social•96 days ago

As a Marylander plz no O’Malley

cannibal-soup.bsky.social•95 days ago

An MR segment on how people can actually influence this would be much appreciated.

sumuduvn.bsky.social•95 days ago

As a Minnesotan I like Keith Ellison. He is a true progressive.

jenfrommaine.bsky.social•96 days ago

So good to see you on here. Agree

fubsywubsy.bsky.social•96 days ago

The only good thing to happen this November... Emma and John Iadarola posting here.

determcbizness.bsky.social•92 days ago

I like whoever has the bigger chip on his shoulder, is more pissed off, and is more passionate about filling DNC leadership positions with COMPETITORS, as opposed to the establishment losers currently in power.
