I'm not sure what you mean...

The chair has absolute power and is accountable to no one.

Before the current DNC chair was elected (just a few months ago) they had been head of the Minnesota state party for about a decade.

That's a very long political track record to look at, and that's why the DNC voting members elected him

Are you asking for a summary of the last decade of Minnesota state politics that shows Martin ran fair primaries which resulted in progressive Dems getting majorities?

    I would love this summary if there is one.

    The only thing I had heard about the DNC leadership was them electing a progressive to vice chair on "accident" and then kicked him out after they realized he would be supporting progressive canidates

    You’re thinking of Vice Chair David Hogg.

    Hogg pledged to primary ineffective democrats and the party crucified him for it. Current chair Ken Martin opposed this, proposing a change to bylaws that would require impartiality in primaries.

    I am firmly with Hogg on this. Progressives need to be supported and conservative Democrats purged. Republicans with a D next to their name are no less an existential threat than those with an R. I don’t see Ken Martin as promising in any way whatsoever.
