The Weeknight show a couple days ago.

He was shown a social media post about the need for you get leadership and candidates. He said he supported that idea, but didn't sound too convincing to me.

He was also asked about the vice chair election do over. He made it sound like there wouldn't be a resolution very quickly. Sort of we'll get around to it when we get around to it. But apparently that was a dodge.

Martin said his focus is on getting Dems elected.

I'd never seen Martin before. He struck me as kind of a conventional thinker, no new ideas or open to new ideas.

I like neither side of this. Hogg using his position to primary an incumbent is bad. DNC ousting them is bad. dutch777 May 2025 #3
