      The DNC chair has been saying he wants to run a presidential candidate like Mamdani since Mamdani won his primary…

      He probably thought it long before then, but he won’t weigh in on any primary.

      Which is more than we’ve got from the DNC in about 50 years…

          He’s been saying that stuff for well over a decade when he was Minnesota’s state chair…

          The voting meme era of the DNC learned their lesson, probably back in 2020 even tho Biden squeaked by. They just didn’t have a chance between 2017 and 2025 to vote for a chair, 2021 Biden got to pick like every incoming Dem president.

          Which makes it a much better thing, we’re not fighting the party anymore.

          They won’t put a finger on the scale for or against the oligarchs, and that’s all the people ever need, a fair fight. We just can’t fuck up the primary and let a neoliberal win, because if they go on to win the general then they get to name party chair.

          There’s a lot at stake next primary, that’s why so many people are pushing for people to not vote in it.
