TODAY: KEN MARTIN OF MINNEAPOLIS IS THE NEW DNC CHAIR -- How might his leadership impact The Way Forward? ancianita Saturday #47

He believes there is such as thing as a good billionaire. Passages Saturday #48

Truth is there are "good" billionaires - but it's a horrible message to be sending out. We only take $$$$$$ from "good" Nanjeanne Saturday #49

We can't take their money and have full independence. Passages Sunday #52

Exactly. Nanjeanne Sunday #53

Just remember, 82 of them backed Harris/Walz. Don't forget we're in oligarch wars now. ancianita Saturday #50

I understand that yet we must stand against that influence. Passages Sunday #51

That would be like standing against Citizens United, and thus shooting ourselves in the foot. ancianita Sunday #54
