Can you imagine how embarrassing a Sanders presidency would be? Cornel West would probably be Attorney General or something.

Even with the complaints over Cornel West, this is a very good group of people. I'm impressed with all 3 camps choices.

Cornel West called Obama the N-word, "the blackface of the American Empire", and compared him to George Zimmerman, among other things. He'd certainly be welcome in West Virginia (if not for the insult to Zimmerman), but the DNC?!

Sanders picking Cornell West perfectly encapsulates his hilarious tone-deafness when it comes to appealing to minority voters.

You do realize that that joke got completely stale immediately after the first post you made using this new persona?

That Sanders slate is like a parody of a Sanders slate created by a right-wing humorist.

I think he should keep doing it. It's still sort of funny.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz actually picked the most progressive slate for the platform committee while Sanders picked the most regressive with Cornel and Zogby. Sanders picked nobody from organized labor which tells you his rhetoric on labor wasn't for real

Shouldn't Sanders have one more to even it out?

Why? He's losing by 13 points nationally so they gave him 5 of 11, which is about his national vote share percentage

I'd unironically support giving Lincoln Chafee a pick. He earned it for providing so much lulz.

What's wrong with Zogby? He seems like a great guy!

Well I'm glad Keith Ellison is on there at least to give the Sanders side some sanity. Hopefully he can keep Cornel West in check.

Zogby is very anti-Israel.

Well Bibi is anti-Democrat, so it makes sense we return the favor.
