I’m not sure the head of the DNC really has anything to do with the party platform. It’s always seemed like more of a fundraising and coordination position. I dunno, maybe someone with an agenda could take the position and try to do something with it, but that doesn’t seem like the norm. There doesn’t seem to be much leadership happening anywhere else in the Dem party.
Anyone care to offer arguments that this election means anything?
I have a short and extremely compelling read that details (from someone who served in the role, albeit in an interim capacity) how important the DNC chair can be, by way of explaining how exactly the party was ratfucked in 2016 via money. Literally every American should read this:
I got this from a Lemmy user recently and it very clearly spells out how exactly we got fucked in 2016 and why this position and also the fundraising is so massively, critically important!
Ken Martin won the election
This good or bad? What I read looks like we will get more of the same from Democrats.
