Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
I can’t quote it because it’s a screenshot, but bro…
You read that and thought it meant to the public?
Edit:
To clarify, that tweet is what your article uses as a source, and the article and person who posted that’s creenshot seem to be willfully misrepresenting it…
Journalists should know better, regular Americans, it’s understandable not everyone digs deep these days, doesn’t mean we can’t do better or that we don’t need to do better tho
Now we’re fighting about sources? This is tiresome.
How do you explain Ken Martin’s recent interview with Pod Save America?
The host asks
When you won the chairmanship in Feb of 25, you criticized the DNC’s refusal to release their 2016 autopsy as exactly what not to do. You asked “was there any utility in doing that?” and then promised your 2024 autopsy would be different. Your exact quote was “of course it would be released”. Why did you change your mind on that?
Ken Martin does not push back against this quotation. He responds by saying he’s “focusing on the lessons that can actually help us win”. He goes on to say it’s “not completely accurate to say we didn’t release [the autopsy] because we are focused on the lessons that can actually help us win”.

I’m literally still trying to explain to you what the DNC is…
And who “DNC members are”.
Like, are you saying the DNC members picked Martin…
And that Martin lied to them, and is now breaking his promise to him…
Which means if the DNC is still shit like you think, that’s a good thing? Like, logically you’re points aren’t adding up, except you’re really motivated to turn people against the party without even trying to answer:
Why don’t you want progressives to vote in the Dem primary?
So I’ll ask again:
Why don’t you want progressivesnto vote in the Dem primary?
Ken Martin said he would release the autopsy, and you’re suggesting that he meant release it only to the DNC and not to the public? Buddy, you’re really reaching here. Did you watch the Pod Save interview that I linked? It makes your position look quite foolish and ahistorical.
As for progressives voting in primaries, I want the maximum amount of them to vote. Lying to them about the virtues of the DNC chair is not a good strategy to get them to vote, honesty works better.
The standard after election report, yes, he said he would release that to dnc members
Do you understand that “dnc members” is less than a thousand people and I cludes everyone that put him in the chair position but definitely not either of us…
Like, can you at least acknowledge that what you’ve linked was Martin saying he’d release to DNC members?
You keep sliding by that and I legitimately can’t tell if you understand that yet.
I’m not sure why you’re hung up on this. Yes he said he would release it to DNC members. And now he is not releasing it.
Releasing it to the DNC is functionally equivalent to releasing it to the public, on its release there is media speculation and leaks. That is why they aren’t even giving it out to the DNC imo.
Now that I’ve bit and responded to your aside, will you dare to tackle any of my questions you’ve avoided? What is your take on Ken Martin’s performance on Pod Save? Do you think his performance will increase or decrease progressive voter turnout in the primaries?
They briefed the members on it, a summary was provided to them, and the plan to move forward…
You though, you think that even though the summary and plan was put out to members, that doesn’t mean anything unless the full report (which again, the DNC made and would be releasing only to the DNC)?
Like…
Instill don’t see any logic.
They made the report…
If they’re hiding something, why wouldn’t they just not put it in the report, so they could release it?
If the goal was what you’re saying the goal was, it would be incredibly easy to handwaved away if the current DNC had zero ethics.
They could release anything, say that was the report and move on.
I’m sorry man, I’ve given you longer than most. I truly hope you’re just legitimately having trouble understanding and someone else will help you
But after so long, I gotta throw in the towel, to many people just want to eat up time.
You’re right, I am legitimately having trouble understanding your position.
It seems like you’ve given up on defending Ken Martin though, so that is progress. Hopefully we can both now agree he is bad for progressivism and the left.
Buddy…
“DNC members” means the ~400 voting members…
Not the public…

Ok, making some progress…

So, a committee reviewed the report…
They briefed the members on it, a summary was provided to them, and the plan to move forward…
You though, you think that even though the summary and plan was put out to members, that doesn’t mean anything unless the full report (which again, the DNC made and would be releasing only to the DNC)?
