    Everyone trying to act like this is a public document that the DNC is hiding is trying to sabotage the DNC because neoliberals don’t control it anymore, or have fallen hook line and sinker for propaganda.

    Martin said he give it to DNC members, that’s not voters. That s literally the ~400 voting members of the DNC.

    And I’m pretty sure he did do that…

    Because no one from the DNC is complaining they can’t see it.

    The people complaining they can’t see it, are the neoliberals that don’t run the DNC (who still likely have it) and billionaire owned media (who have also likely seen a copy)

    They just want to get people to abstain in the next presidential primary so a neoliberal like Newspm can sneak in.

    It’s blatant manipulation, why can’t everyone see this?

      Ahhh… Wat? How is it neoliberal propaganda to expect a public postmortem? Why would its release be damaging?

      What evidence is there that neolibs don’t control the DNC anymore? Shumer is still minority leader. Most Dems are still backed by AIPAC… What meaningful change has occurred?

      Ken Martin said it would be public then changed his mind. I think that’s why people are upset.

        Ken Martin said it would be public

        Billionaire owned media definitely keeps saying it…

        The only sources I’ve ever seen, is Martin saying it will be released to “DNC members”…

        I’ve noticed a lot of people took that to mean “the public” but that’s only because they don’t understand what “DNC member” is…

        There’s only like 400 voting members, and I think the non-voting members are less than that?

        If you have a source of him saying he’d release it to the public, I’d love to see it. But honestly if I can’t find it, and none.of the many, many, people repeating that claim have been able to find it…

        I gotta say, not holding my breath

        Near as I can tell from the sources I’ve seen for that he actually didn’t but some news sites misquoted him to make it seem like he did. The actual quote was that it would be “public to members [of the DNC]” not to the general public. This got shortened to “he said it would be public” in reporting leaving off the very important detail that that was meaning a very specific audience. Ultimately he never should have used the word public it’s way too easy to misconstrue. He would have been better off if he had said “it will be freely available to the DNC members”.
