"At a time when Republicans are polling at historic lows, Democrats need to capitalize and offer a better vision for the country," said one critic. "This isn’t it."
This seems real to me. It was probably handed off to younger workers within the DNC who began asking the questions we all are asking. It probably caused a ruckus with the old guard squashing any of those conversations so nothing got done.
I’m tending toward the interpretation that what Martin and the rest of the upper echelon of the DNC wanted was a subtle whitewash - one that would acknowledge the rather obvious problems of corporate money and support for genocide, but then spin some fanciful reason that those weren’t really problems, so it’d be fine when the DNC, as they fully intend, keep on doing what they’ve been doing.
But they not only didn’t get that - they got a poorly written mish - mash of platitudes and gibberish that looks like it was slapped together, mostly via LLM, at the eleventh hour.
And if they spent most of the time during which they were meant to be drawing it up locked instead in a crippling tug-of-war over what it should or should not say, that’d explain that.

It’s typical corporate gridlock.
Yeah - that tracks.
