So this is the new DNC Chair:

Could these morons possibly find anyone more divisive?  That was honestly the most sick, disgusting and dishonest thing the Clinton campaign did during the primary and this punk was behind it.  He can go f*** himself.

Didn't Sanders also say that Clinton was unqualified to be Commander in chief?

No offense, but are you stupid or something?  This clown, after the New Hampshire primary sent Podesta an email saying that Bernie may have the youth vote but we can try and create a narrative that he only has the white youth vote, which would play well in South Carolina (his exact words).

This is Dirty Politics 101, the kind of tactics I usually expect from Republicans, not someone leading the Democratic party.  It is dishonest because I am sure this punk knows Bernie wasn't racist, and extremely hurtful to many progressives who were portrayed essentially as white supremacists.

If you're happy with this a-hole, fine, be my guest.  But Perez doesn't give a f*** for anyone but himself and his bosses.

Given how credible you take this source to be, I'm sure you won't condemn any Trumpist who uses Breitbart news or anything equivalent.

I love how Ellison supporters are supposedly having a tantrum when his (apparent) opponents are using bloated terms like "childish," far-left," "infantile," and "BernieBro" to describe his disappointed supporters.

I'm not. Frankly...... I think Tom Perez will resign after 2020......

I hate to be the "come on, let's give him a chance" guy, but... come on, folks. Perez isn't some centrist corporatist hack. He might prove to be an effective, progressive leader. If he ends up being as tone-deaf as people like DWS, I'll be there to call him out on it.

Perez won because of Obama and Biden. Just the fact that Perez and Ellison were so close even with a public Biden endorsement should prove how powerful the Bernie-wing is and will become.

that's my hope. I'm not optimistic, but I think Perez will at least be better than DWS. Not saying much, but it is what it is.

Welp, forever Indy. The Democratic party refuses to come to 2017, while desperately holding onto the 90s.

As a former Republican, we can be independents together! I vote for the person, not the party!

Islamaphobia is alive and well in the Democratic Party.

(I don't actually believe that, but since "muh sexism" was the calling card of the Clintards... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Electoral strategizing is, in fact, the main thing that there's reason to believe Perez will be non-trivially worse at.

Steele was rather inept and yet, the Republicans won in 2010. And Barbour was just a lobbyist in 1993 who also lost a senate race in Mississippi badly.

So this is the new DNC Chair:

Could these morons possibly find anyone more divisive?  That was honestly the most sick, disgusting and dishonest thing the Clinton campaign did during the primary and this punk was behind it.  He can go f*** himself.

Didn't Sanders also say that Clinton was unqualified to be Commander in chief?

No offense, but are you stupid or something?  This clown, after the New Hampshire primary sent Podesta an email saying that Bernie may have the youth vote but we can try and create a narrative that he only has the white youth vote, which would play well in South Carolina (his exact words).

This is Dirty Politics 101, the kind of tactics I usually expect from Republicans, not someone leading the Democratic party.  It is dishonest because I am sure this punk knows Bernie wasn't racist, and extremely hurtful to many progressives who were portrayed essentially as white supremacists.

If you're happy with this a-hole, fine, be my guest.  But Perez doesn't give a f*** for anyone but himself and his bosses.

Given how credible you take this source to be, I'm sure you won't condemn any Trumpist who uses Breitbart news or anything equivalent.

The DKIM verified e-mail is here. Tom Perez sees identity politics as something that can be used in a divide and conquer manner against progressives.

How so? Over the course of the "campaign", Perez and Ellison held remarkably similar ideas on how the DNC should move forward and crafting messages across the country. Ellison focused on energizing the base more, sure, but Perez emphasized the importance of voter rights in this tumultuous time where they're in grave danger. Making sure people are able to vote is an important electoral strategy in my opinion.

It's also important to realize that the DNC chair might provide a vision for how the party should go, but the position is much more about fundraising and Sunday talk shows than anything else.

Of course their DKIM verified e-mails are a reliable source. Much more reliable than any of your sources.

Get the hell over yourself.  God damn you are being so insufferable right now.  I should know.  Bitter children the all of you. 

YOU of all people shouldn't be able to tell anyone not to be childish
So I can't call a spade a spade?

You are a clueless hack & show some respect. That was a fair comment !
