No one has ever seen a successful DNC chair.

People are hammered for it.

But the thing is that Ken Martin is now the distraction that he was trying to avoid.

And because you're the distraction, then you should go.

Like he says in his post, my job is winning elections.

Well, the best thing for the Democrats to win elections is to have a fresh start at the DNC, both now and in 2028, where the trust issue matters so much more because the DNC is going to run the presidential primary.

They're going to set up the debates.

They're going to pick the calendar, which is a huge thing.

They're going to make decisions about how delegates are allocated.

They're going to deal with states to try to jump the calendar.

All of this matters.

And when people don't trust the DNC, as happened in 2016, when all of the emails came out as part of the

the Russian hacks of DNC emails that showed that people at the DNC were favoring Hillary over Bernie.

People didn't trust the DNC.

They didn't trust the process.

They thought it was rigged.

And it hurt.

It hurt in the general election.

We need people to trust the process.

And I say that as a Sixers fan.
