      The only reason their careers has lasted this long was prior iterations of the DNC protected them from primaries.

      The current DNC won’t do that.

      If primary voters want to ditch the incumbent, Martin will support the new candidate just as hard as he would have supported the incumbent

      He doesn’t really care what candidate makes it to the general, except that they were/are the ones voters chose.

      And sadly enough, that makes him the most progressive DNC chair since Carter’s election.

      It’s a level playing field, and neoliberals can’t win in that environment unless it’s against a Republican.

      They won’t all get replaced at once, but it’ll happen. And more will choose to cash out and become a lobbyist before losing office.

      We don’t need the individuals, we need the seat they’re occupying.

        The market has teeth. It will not abide this quietly. It’s a shame so many people seem to have pudding where their brain is meant to be.
