Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said the party was not dead despite the partys loss of the White House and Senate majority in last falls elections.
Were not dead as a party. Were still alive and kicking, and were going to fight for our values, and were going to fight for American values at this time, when people are seeing what Donald Trump and the Republicans are doing at this time, Martin said during a Monday appearance on MSNBCs The Rachel Maddow Show.
Martin won the race to become the next DNC chair on Saturday in a highly-contested race. Democrats are looking to Martin to reestablish the partys presence in states across the nation as preparations for midterm elections kickoff.
Theres so many people that have struggled throughout this country over the last several years who are feeling forgotten, left behind, feeling like our party is not fighting for them anymore. And so, what we need to do in this moment when the stakes are so high, right, is to stand up and fight back, Martin said during the interview.

(21,300 posts)...will continue to enlighten the general public (who may not already have strong opinions) that this is a seriously wrong situation.
More public support in the resistance to trump et al will increase chances of us stopping him.
