Your feelings on Perez as DNC Chair, Ellison as Deputy Chair?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Awful. The last attempt of Obama to retain as much control as possible. Ellison will be marginalised by the establishment.

Remember how incompetent Obama was when it came to pick party leaders?

For s sake dude give it a rest.  Damn you are being a child right now.  Throwing a fit.

Projecting much?

Is it too much to ask neoliberal Democratic hacks to actually learn anything from their embarrassing defeat 3 months ago?

Learn what?  She got more votes.  How many did Bernie get?

1. 3 months ago refeers to the general election, not primaries.
2. And it doesn't matter. Trump is President because Hillary blew a winnable race. I mean come on, man, she lost by a hair to somebody who committed every political sin there's in the book and was written off by almost everybody as unelectable.

I'm not asking them to change their minds (it's not like Ellison was a socialist, after all) but just to stop thinking the party is their property.

But I ask you this- what do you want?
Do you just want people you consider allies to win, no matter what? That's not how democracy works. In a democracy, you need to get the most votes. If you want to win, you need to win. Win primaries, win conventions, win elections. In 2016, you didn't win. Because Hillary got more votes. As simple as that. In the Party Chair elections, you lost narrowly. Because Perez got more votes. What the hell is wrong with that? It's democracy.

I don't believe Antonio ever considered Hillary's nomination as "undemocratic". He just believes, and I wholeheartedly agree, there were better options and the party should get the memo. Same goes for Perez.

I only hope Perez can surprise us like Dean (as there were a lot of doubts when he became chair in 2005).
