The Next DNC Chair: TOM PEREZ WINS, makes Ellison deputy chair

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

When is the vote for DNC chair being held, anyway?

I think I read "later this month" (but not sure of the specific date)

"during the weekend of February 23–26"
According to Wikipedia

Who care. The DNC chair isn't the leader of the party and their power is greatly exaggerated by the Bernie people.

Obviously not you. It's not just about leading it's being transparent about where funds are going. Perez has been the only candidate that has refused to be interviewed.

Does that matter? Perez was smart to avoid TYT's ambush journalism.

This isnt a public election. Why would he need to get interviewed?

You don't want another DWS do you?

I dont know what that has to do with anything.

This sort of attitude is the reason why Democrats keep losing.

Its not actually. There are alot of reasons why dems suffered on a state wide basis. Me thinking Perez not needing to get interviewed by a bunch of hacks over at TYTs is not one of those reasons.

The fact that the Democratic elite still thinks of the party as their private club and doesn't even feel the need to pretend to be willing to open a discussion with the broader public is most definitely one of the reason why the party keeps losing.

Kind of hard to not think that way when Bernie's wing only pretends to care and pay attention to politics every 4 years and ignores the rest.

Still bashing the left wing....Smart politics.

The fact that so many have placed so much importance on a race when all three of the choices will literally do the same thing is mind-boggling.

I'm not liberal, I'd consider myself moderately conservative but no longer a Republican after Trump/the Tea Party 2010 revolution so it makes sense.

Wise words from a former conservative hack who only started caring about the Democratic party after his own party was overtaken by the hateful madness his ilk created and exploited for decades.

Who cares.

Seriously, Trump is president. Just vote and fight later. Minimum wage and Equal Rights and Abortion access are all on the chopping block so fight about hurt feelings later when those things are safe.

I still don't care about the Democratic party, Sanders and his wing are just as bad as Trump, they're just not racist/sexist, etc. But the Dems are the only other party right now so there really isn't another choice. Plus, in the end you need us just as much as we need you to defeat Trump and his deplorables.

LOL no, people like you are a scourge on the Democratic party, and the sooner you return to your true home, the better for us.

[Shadows]

You moderates are gonna learn that every year more young people will come into the voting bloc & the older folks will unfortunately die. The Bernie wing is gonna grow & explode. There will be a time in the next 3-4-5 years when this will become so powerful, you will do as you are told & not take progressives as granted. The Bernie wing will teach you how to win! You should be happy not being continous losers!

Honey people like you trying to purge the party are what is wrong.  You guys really need to see the damn enemy instead of the god damn purity tests.

He's a socialist though, they have always had purity tests. Basically the tea party of the left, both sides are equally as bad as the extremes of either side never work out. So instead of working with others in the political spectrum they'd prefer 8 years of Trump, it's disgusting.

"Socialist" really isn't a good descriptor of Tony's ideology.

Honestly true but he has his socialist avatar so it works for me lol

Not wanting people whose views on all but a few issues are diametrically opposed to those of a party inside said party = "purity tests". OK, then...

Basically this...Attacking the left costed you the presidency. I would advise Dems not to attack the base.

JerryArkansas is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats. Who cares what our positions and ideals are you know, the things that inspire people to vote for your party.
