That will allow a progressive to win the primary, and they’d be a slam dunk in the general.
When a Dem is elected president, they nominate a new DNC chair for a four year term. So Martin could very well just be a stepping stone if that hypothetical progressive president wanted to seat a chair who is biased for progressives, but honestly I hope we stick with a fair chair, secure in the knowledge that neoliberals can’t win a fair primary.
As such, the only danger to neoliberals taking the DNC back, is if idiots fall for Pritzker or Newsom and let a neoliberal thru the primary, because they’ll sure as shit nominate a biased neoliberal to run the DNC.
So…
He doesn’t need “structural changes” to stop neoliberals, he just isn’t doing all the bullshit they did.
Like, even talking about “structural changes” means you still don’t understand how powerful the chair is. They’re literally a dictator accountable to no one. If Martin wanted to he could just name a candidate for 2028, and it would be totally legally, but definitely not cool.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants, but so can whoever the next chair is. There’s nothing that can be changed today, that the next chair can’t change day 1.
It’s an incredibly fucked up and undemocratic system. But before we can replace it, we have to have control of it. And we just did the hardest part of that process, billionaire owned media just dont want people to know.
Edit:
But we’re currently in the middle of the largest reinvestment from DNC to state parties. After almost a decade of the DNC robbing state parties thru the “victory fund” bullshit.
That’s why Republicans got the House.
Martin redistributing that stolen wealth back to red/purple state parties is letting them operate at campaign levels already, laying the groundwork for midterms.
It’s not glamours, but it’s what the party should be doing.
He’s running fair primaries…
