So it sounds like the DNC is using him

…

What?

The DNC chair has all the power and zero accountability…

He is DNC leadership…

Have you considered putting effort into learning about how our political system works since you care so much?

They want to run governments like businesses…

The reason that’s a stupid idea, is governments have to plan years, and ideally decades ahead of time.

A publicly traded business wants to exploit every possible resource as fast as possible because that’s short term profit which makes the stock price go up. And eventually when all the resources are gone, you sell stocks before the number goes down and takes a parachute or declare bankruptcy.

But there’s only so many countries and so many natural resources to exploit.

It’s like an uncheck cancer when countries start acting like this, because there’s no one to hold them in check.

The current chair has spent over a decade running Minnesota’s state party…

Before his election as Chairman, Ken spent two decades working for progressive candidates and causes. He played key leadership roles on various campaigns, including Dayton for Governor in 2010, Hatch for Governor in 2006, Kerry for President in 2004, Humphrey for Secretary of State in 2002, and Gore for President in 2000. Ken led the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment campaign in 2008, which dedicated funding to the arts, environment, conservation, and parks and trails in Minnesota. It is the largest conservation finance measure in the nation to ever become law.

It’s not a hypothetical how he’ll be.

Although maybe you’re just still under the impression prior dnc chair’s weren’t giant pieces of neoliberals shit since the 90s, and arguably all the way back to Jimmy Carter’s days.

It’s a very low bar and Martin easily clears it to be “most progressive dnc chair”

All brands and businesses are trying to make money

But only publicly traded ones will trade the brand recognition they’ve built for short term profits…

Investors care about quarterly growth, which literally cannot keep constantly increasing.

A private company could have a flat dollar goal for yearly profit. And not give a shit if that number goes up 100k a year at the detriment to long term profits

I thought that didn’t need explaining, but I can admit when I’m wrong.

It would be a lot more common if we had anti-monopoly laws still.

There used to be a shit ton of regional stuff like this where one family owned everything, and 10 million a year was good enough instead of needing x% growth forever.

If you’re not cutting every corner to make the quarterly % increase constantly go up, workers aren’t getting fucked over as much, at least not every time. So everyone losses when we have mega corps. And that’s the natural result of unregulated capitalism

We really need to be more specific than “Democrats”.

This article is referencing senior elected officials in party leadership positions.

They’re all neoliberals and as such there’s lots of things voters want that they just can’t support even though it’s clearly the smart political move. Even if they tried to pivot left, they’ll get primaried by a progressive and lose without the same bullshit loopholes that Republicans use in the general against them.

Inherently all brands

All publicly traded brands…

Arizona Iced Tea

Dudes a multi-billionaire and doesn’t understand how someone could want more.

That’s why he puts the MSRP on the cans even tho he can’t control store prices. Most stores still sell it at 99c, because they’re still making profit on it.

He could sell them for 2x and barely lose any sales, but why?

Why pretend the DNC is more than a chair and ignore that we just got the most progressive chair since the rise of neoliberalism?

Still don’t think he’ll beat the numbers Clinton got in the 90s…

But it’s starting to look like 30+ years of both our only two political options taking a chainsaw to the federal workforce hasn’t exactly been working out …

Neoliberals, including Biden, thought they could give conservatives some of what they want and they’d be happy. Even tho ever single time a Republican gets what they want, they immediately ask for more.

Normalizing their bullshit just allows them to push for crazier bullshit, but they’re so incompetent they’re still not better at destroying what they want as neoliberals

Yeah bro, let’s just keep planning 3 months ahead in a class war that’s been happening for thousands of years, that’ll totally be enough bro

The reason tech billionaires want to AI the government, is so it can run without anyone.

AI buerocrats, AI soldiers, no use for any human thats not in the 0.001%

Anyone that thinks they’ll want billions of broke starving humans roaming around fucking up shit is delusional. When they don’t need us, were too big of a risk to keep around.

It’s not going to be a super smart AI that attacks humanity, it’s gonna be some asshat techbro telling it to.

Fuck Chuck, unless he’s resigning I don’t want to hear his grumblings about what he as Dem leadership should have done.

Either you replied to the wrong person or don’t understand what anyone else is saying

Right…

Some of the people that wanted Hillary held responsible for breaking the law also want trump held accountable.

A lot of people act like that isn’t a real view and anyone who says it just really hates their team.

That’s what most of the comments here are doing anyways

Do you have any idea what they meant by:

Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

Then?

Because dietary restrictions is not an effective way to fight fascism.

And I don’t want to get in a pedantic argument about modern terms applied to 80 years ago. Although it seems that’s what you really want to do

Near the end of his life, Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) followed a vegetarian diet. It is not clear when or why he adopted it, since some accounts of his dietary habits prior to the Second World War indicate that he consumed meat as late as 1937. In 1938, Hitler’s doctors put him on a meat-free diet, and his public image as a vegetarian was fostered; from 1942, he self-identified as a vegetarian.

That’s not what that episode is about…

At the end of it the boys make their own agreement with ManBearPig and refused to act against climate change in exchange for RDR2 and something else I can’t remember

The episode was commentary on how we’re still making the same mistake and not addressing the shit we need to because it would cause minor inconveniences.

Like, you just completely missed the plot…

Not to mention the veganism which is also closely related to rejecting fascism.

I mean…

Technically a vegan did shoot hitler in the head that lead to the end of WW2…

But that’s a weird way to say hitler was a vegan.

The one who vote Republican are saying because Dems wouldn’t hold Dems accountable, there’s no reason for them to hold Republicans accountable.

The ones who vote D are saying this is exactly what excusing illegal behavior from Dems leads to: Republicans doing it worse and with less competence making it a bigger problem.

Like, you don’t get that? It’s not exactly hard to figure out on your own and they haven’t been quiet about their opinions.

Excusing illegal actions by neoliberals we don’t even want, just makes it easier for Republican voters to believe both sides are the same amount of shitty. And makes people less likely to vote D, because D voters tend to have standards

Hell, our last president violated US and international law, but the party (at that time) refused to do anything about it. Now trump is doing it, and the same fucking neoliberals that refused to hold Biden accountable a few years ago won’t stop screeching about fucking Hillary.

You all are the reason Dems are impossible. Nobody wants a party run by uncharismatic assholes who think trump gives them a blank check to do anything they want

It doesn’t, and acting like it is why trump keeps getting elected.

I just don’t understand how people who willingly choose to spend their free time talking about politics remain ignorant to very obvious shit like this. Gas no one tried explaining any of this or do you just call anyone who criticizes a politician with a D by their name some stupid trump like nickname?
