Attendees at a Democratic National Committee meeting in Minneapolis were encouraged to sing a fight song with lyrics celebrating unity and 'shining blue.' A leader from the donation platform ActBlue presented the song and displayed its lyrics on screens for crowds to sing along. DNC Chair Ken Martin urged Democrats to adopt a more aggressive posture, saying they should stop 'bringing a pencil to a knife fight' and to 'grow a damn spine.' The meeting opened with an indigenous land acknowledgement by Lindy Sowmick describing land taken from the Dakota people. Republican critics ridiculed the song and accused party leaders of being out of touch.
DNC Chair Martin was accused of being out of touch with American voters after he invited Lindy Sowmick, a self-described Indigenous queer woman, to open the meeting by acknowledging that the land had been taken from the Dakota people and that in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress indigenous people's cultural and spiritual history. During his own speech, Martin urged fellow Democrats to grow a damn spine.
Attendees at a Democratic National Committee meeting in Minneapolis this week were reportedly encouraged to sing a fight song, with lyrics about Democrats being stronger together and shining blue. After DNC chairman Ken Martin urged Democrats to bring a bazooka to a knife fight against President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, one unnamed leader of the Democrat donation platform ActBlue became particularly inspired.
