“I took this job to fight Republicans, not Democrats,” he added. “As I said when I was elected, our fight is not within the Democratic Party, our fight is and has to be solely focused on Donald Trump and the disastrous Republican agenda. That’s the work that I will continue to do every day.”

It's the same DNC. Ken Martin has committed to not doing anything internally and only focusing externally on Trump. We will have to see how this bold strategy plays out again.

There’s also a fundamental disagreement in what the word “liberal” means, between the American usage, and the usage in the rest of the world.

American liberalism started to conflate elements of leftism, because they couldn't openly call themselves communists, socialists, or anarchists without being unAmerican. Now the two terms are ramshackled together, and they unwittingly defend right wing values as they perceive it as an attack on their identity.
