Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Sure, she co-sponsored SOPA and has made some controversial votes that made her a hawk and right-wing on drugs, but she's incredibly progressive elsewhere when it comes to taxation, contraceptive and abortion coverage, is a member of the LGBT Equality Caucus, and supports a progressive raise in the minimum wage/pro-EPA/anti-privatization/anti-Koch etc. just like Sanders does.

She's willing to defend the party to the end of Earth and back while Sanders is an Independent more concerned with primarying our top candidate in 2016. Our party shouldn't become the far-left, radical equivalent of the Republican Party today. It would only lead to more polarization than actual compromise, and I think we can agree the latter is better.

According to Primary Colors, Wasserman Schultz a 85.6 progressive score, 0.8 point superior to the "average" democrat in her district.

She can hardly be defined as a DINO.

Primary Colors also thinks Schumer is better than the average Democrat in New York

Preferably Sanders, though he never would be.

I would perfer the professional Jewish woman over the wannabe Strasserites.

So the candidate who wants to continue the War on Poor Minorities that Nixon started and Reagan built up is "professional", while the candidate who actually believes in personal liberty and uplifting the inner city is a literal Nazi.

Not going to even bring up the obvious anti-Semitism.
The War on Drugs is not a war on minorities; the only reason minorities are prosecuted more is because racist pro-drug democrats and republicans protect white drug users more than minority drug users. Legalizing drugs would hurt the inner city due to a higher amount of addiction and dysfunction and would further support racism because the lower quality drugs that minorities generally get would hurt them more than the cleaner suburban drugs. There is literally nothing else to call a man who wants to destroy America's minority races with drugs and true-leftism but a Strasserite.

I only mentioned Debbie's Jewishness to contrast her with the Strasserite; it would be no less important to mention that then it would to mention Ben Gurions Jewishness when comparing him with hitler.

When did the entire world decide that being a "hawk" or a "dove" was at all traceable to a political ideology, much less a party?!...

Drugs hurt minorities more than white people.
Having more drugs will hurt minorities more.
People who support having more drugs support hurting minorities more.
People who support having more drugs support racist policies.
It is very possible people who support racist policies are racist.
That is simple logic. What do you not get?
This quote from Atwater just shows how subtle racism is in this day and age.

Just replace cutting taxes with legalizing drugs, and you get where Sanders is coming from.

While I will admit some of my rhetoric was extreme and I did employ some hyperbole, if this is your best response then it seems I am in the right.

The logic of drug decriminalization is that the actual demand for drugs isn't going to change (much), but the number of people (overwhelmingly minorities) doing prison time for nonviolent offenses is.

More relevant than ever since Sanders told her to her face that the DNC is trying to rig the primary by limiting debates.

Someone along the lines of Warren, Franken or Feingold. Ideally for me, it would be someone along the likes of Bob Casey Jr.

Elizabeth Warren, Russ Feingold, Cory Booker, and Kamala Harris should be the faces of the Democratic party.
