It's not blind optimism.

Read up on Ken Martin and how he ran the Minnesota State party, it will make you a hell of a lot more confident in the future of the party and the country as a whole.

Especially if you're aware of how bad the DNC has been for decades and that the "victory fund" was bankrupting state parties and losing lower seats for a decade. Just stopping that would get us the House and maybe Senate.

We honestly don't need much out of the DNC, Martin isn't perfect (no one is) but it's a very low bar to beat MAGA.

Edit:

There's still some Dem state parties that are shit, so feel free to go after them if you want, but the national party is finally on the people's side again.

Do you have any links? All I'm getting when I search is him getting in a fight with that Sandy Hook kid.
