I'd argue that we need someone in the dnc leadership chair who can effect a culture change and get them representing people again instead of just donors. Thats a heavy lift that few could handle.

Then I'd advise reading up on Ken Martin...

The whole "good billionaire" thing is a single quote from a month ago before the chair vote. When he was asked if he'd still accept billionaire money.

For some reason it's popped up on Lemmy today.

Martin has a long history in Minnesota, you don't have to rely on hypotheticals for what kind of party leader he'll be.

When he ran Minnesota he did exactly what you said we need.
