Dude, you gotta chill on the Ken Martin simping a little. Trying to spin public sector and teachers union leaders as just neoliberals and David Hogg as some problem is just detached from reality. Yeah, Weingarten endorsed Clinton in 2016, but she also supported Howard Dean for chair and endorsed Elizabeth Warren in 2020. She’s not some Third Way stooge. She’s the leader of a seriously important union in Democratic politics. If she’s the problem in the party that needs to be purged, we’re fucked.
You talk about finally fighting, but since he’s been chair… what exactly has he done other than mismanage it into bad news stories? Literally the only thing I hear from the DNC is drama, frequently for personnel conflicts that in no way were worth the fallout. David Hogg’s election wasn’t mathematically fair? Ok. Do better next time. Or add a temp position so the others can get their fair shot. Two union leaders supported your opponent? Cool, the election is over and you need to be able to work with them. Telling the heads of the AFT and AFSCME their input is no longer valued is just dumb. Nothing Martin has done warrants this level of devotion.
