Soooo...

Dude who couldn't meet the deadline delivered a copy electronically in May that was last edited in January...

The part he claims the DNC didn't release, he says was present in a physical binder, while not addressing that it wasn't in the word document that's still around.

Mr. Martin said that the binder in question could not be located and that the party would have had no reason to hold on to it. Mr. Rivera provided a Word document of the chapter in question with metadata that showed that it was last modified shortly before his Jan. 20 meeting with Mr. Martin.

.Mr. Rivera said that he had sent an earlier draft of the chapter electronically to another party official. Party emails are deleted after 30 days for security purposes, so there is no record of that email. Mr. Martin said that a search of the party’s files could not locate such a document, and three other party officials who worked with Mr. Rivera on the autopsy said they had not previously seen the document in question.

But the most important part:

The dispute threatens to become a distraction for the party less than 100 days before the November midterm elections, when Democrats hope that President Trump’s poor approval ratings will help them win control of the House and possibly the Senate. And it comes as Mr. Martin has come under fire for his stewardship of a party that recently reported more than $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee had $128.5 million in the bank.

The wealthy are fucking panicking that they don't control the DNC. And especially after Platner they feel like they can bully progressives into stepping down.

Fuck that shit

Like, even in that quote, 2 million in gross debt means literally nothing when you have millions more than that on hand.

The oligarchs are desperate and none more than the owners of the NYT times.

This is like the perfect embodiment of the Democratic party.

If they didn't have Trump and MAGA as a punchline for easy votes we would be looking at a Tea Party 2.0 decimating the ranks of the DNC.

Unfortunately the progressive socialist movement most people have a boner for has a weak standing on the national stage. Don't believe me? Go meet some of the morons voting in Iowa and Missouri.

The current DNC chair was the chair of Minnesota for a decade...

If he fights against progressives, hes completely inept at that but also the world's best liar.

Like, dude has a very long track record leading parties. At the end of the day that consistently results in progressives getting elected.

That's just facts

Oh no, Democrats not doing well in Iowa or Missouri? Whatever will we do!?

"The far right has a weak standing on the national stage. Don't believe me? Go meet some voters in Massachusetts."

Trump got 32% of the vote in Massachusetts. I'm sure you can easily rustle up some far-right voters there.

And 40% of Missouri voted for Harris, what's your point?

The poster above implied that some sampling of voters from conservative states translates into something about nationwide sentiment. Cori Bush was a reelected representative of Missouri's first district. If they actually wanted to find progressives, they wouldn't be hard to track down.

It questioned Mr. Biden’s decision to seek re-election in the first place: “Is there a single point of failure for 2024? Perhaps it is a decision of the President to seek re-election instead of passing the torch.”

It analyzed the party’s loss of support among Hispanic, Black, Asian American and Native American voters, which had been mostly missing from the public draft.

And it pointedly raised the concern that most senior Democratic strategists in 2024 were “financially secure” and thus removed from the challenges facing many Americans. “It is therefore possible the people ‘in the room’ at the highest levels of 2024 decision making misunderstood the mood and practicalities facing everyday America,” the report read.

Well obviously, we all recognized the glaring omission of any analysis of the cost of supporting a geno- ... Wait, it was about wealthy consultants?!
