Focus Group: Should Martin Resign

Digital Focus Group:

Under pressure from the media, the DNC finally released their autopsy on the 2024 election to CNN. However, the unfinished report is missing the team's conclusions and underlying data. Chair Ken Martin admits "it wasn't ready for primetime."

There was also no mention in the autopsy of the most common concern we've seen in this focus group: the countless texts and emails grassroots supporters like you receive.

As the press continues to unpack the report, insiders are calling on Martin to resign for how he handled this situation. To make sure the voices of grassroots donors like you are included in the national conversation, we'll be sharing your thoughts with reporters directly:

Do you think that Ken Martin should resign as chair of the DNC?

Yes, the DNC needs a new chair.

No, I don't think that's necessary.

I'm not sure.

I'd like to share my own thoughts.

One last question:

One of our supporters said:

"It's about time you really asked for our opinion. Hopefully it will be accepted without giving money."

We know we may have asked you this question before. Your response today is critical to help us evaluate our long-term strategy:

Did you know that our surveys are part of a grassroots campaign to make sure YOUR voice helps shape Democratic strategy?

Yes, I already knew that!

No, but I know now!

Full disclosure: there will be an OPTIONAL fundraising ask once you submit. Donations are not required to participate in the focus group, and we value your response whether or not you're able to donate today.

Response recorded! Before you go:

President Obama once said

"The people who represent you at the state level have more of an impact on your life than elected officials in Washington."

But as Trump dominates the media with chaos and too many groups flood your email and texts with spam, organizers at the state level don't have the resources to get in touch with supporters like you!

Here's our plan to fix that:

Discuss and amplify your feedback on our podcast, so your national Democratic leaders know what is most important to you.
Scale our new media technology to replace the annoying spam with real surveys and ways to help down-ballot Democrats!

But we're 100% supporter-funded. And with midterms just around the corner, your support is critical!

So will you chip in to help build the tools Democrats need to win?

Response recorded! Before you go:

State legislators decide on your voting rights, your schools, and even the next round of House maps! But their races only get a fraction of the money and attention.

Even President Obama once said

"The people who represent you at the state level have more of an impact on your life than elected officials in Washington."

That's why 240+ volunteers like you sent 6,000+ postcards reminding Democrats to vote all the way down the ballot, in districts that could be decided by a few hundred votes or less. And we paid all the postage.

We're 100% supporter-powered, and we spent everything we had on that postage. But the hard truth is that we only raised 40% of our original campaign goal, so we couldn't send every pack. And we still have bills for the program due October 31:

We know you're overwhelmed by all the messages from Democrats. We wish we could make them all stop, but unlike others, we can at least promise you the truth. Once these bills are covered, we'll stop asking for money until after Election Day.

So will you chip in to help cover our costs and make sure our focus group can stay active in 2028?

If you saved your info with ActBlue, your donation will go thru immediately.

Yes, I'll donate $3.40! (Just a dime for each of Trump's crimes)

Yes, I'll donate $14.09! (Our average donation)

Yes, I'll donate $34! ($1 for each of Trump's felony convictions)

Yes, I'll donate $51! ($1 for every state, including DC)

No thanks, I'd rather donate to Democrats directly.

No thanks, I want to learn more about what this is funding.

I'd like to donate another amount.
