IIRC wasn’t dean made dnc chair at some point after? Maybe around the time of Obama? I feel like he was the one behind the winning 50 state strategy but I’m going purely on memory here…

Edit: for the amount of brain injuries I’ve had somehow my political memory works a little too well. Dean was indeed chair of the DNC before Obama became president and pursued a 50 state strategy to get Obama elected.

    Yeah, they didn't totally ditch him. But they didn't seem to want to allow him to be democratically [...] elected as a candidate.

    Yeah. It’s curious. If they really didn’t want him around they wouldn’t of made him dnc chair. I also think the democrats of the late 2000s were slightly less corrupt than todays democrats, which isn’t saying much.
