Poll- Best Choice for DNC Chairman

[SCNCmod]

I only included the Top 3 choices that are being widely talked about has having a shot of winning.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Ellison DAWG.

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeith

(Ray Buckley would be alright)

[Deblano]

Anyone is better than DWS in my opinion.

[JA]

Keith Ellison (my vote) or Pete Buttigieg.

Edit: After watching the debate, not just reading about it, I switched my support to Pete Buttigieg, but would be very happy with Keith Ellison as well.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Ellison (sane, doesn't want the Democratic party to be locked in opposition for the next two decades)

[Pandaguineapig]

Ellison because it will be funny watching the democrats go from claiming to be "moderates" to going full corbyn

[Torie]

Who is Pete Buttigieg?

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Who is Pete Buttigieg?

He is the current mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He has a very promising future.

[The Other Castro]

Either would be fine, as long as it's not Perez.

[KingSweden]

I think Buttigieg would be best

[Panda Express]

I support Ellison because I think the Bernie side "deserves" this one.

With that said, Perez and Ellison would functionally be very similar. Ellison is still a creature of Washington. Let's not pretend that this matters very much. Come on guys.

As for the Pete guy, I have no idea who he is but the fact that his last name is "Butt" automatically disqualifies him.

[SCNCmod]

Did anything happen at the DNC Chair forum tonight? (or any major developments)

[Blue3]

Perez is last.

And was there really another forum tonight?

[Kingpoleon]

Who is Pete Buttigieg?

There are these two great websites called Google and Wikipedia, old man.

It's funny because Buttigieg has been a Bernie guy for decades:

He endorsed Hillary in 2016, but to be fair he waited until April 2016 when it was pretty clear Bernie wasn't going to win.

He's also less anti-business than Sanders. In particular, when it comes to the loss of manufacturing jobs, he blames automation more than NAFTA.

April was before the Indiana primary. Writing something about Bernie 16 years ago doesn't cancel out the fact that he went against his state and county in endorsing terrible Hillary.

So you're cool with your boy Ellison sipping wine with David Brock, right?

Obviously the ideal candidate would tell David Brock to go f**k himself, but that probably wouldn't be helpful for getting votes from the worthless Clinton deadwood hacks who constitute the DNC.

Jfern? Supporting a candidate who is willing to compromise his principles for the sake of more votes?

Well, ideally there would be a better candidate, but of the people running for DNC chair, Ellison is obviously the best.

I like Ellison too but I enjoy busting your balls.

Honestly I like Ellison, Buttigieg, and Perez, and I think everyone can agree all 3 are massive upgrades to DWS.

I was originally in the Perez camp, but seeing him on TV on Bill Maher's Real Time showed me he's not a great public speaker plus he's too tied into the establishment Democrats when he makes stupid claims through Twitter about the Berniecrats (like me) on Twitter. Ellison is the best choice because the social narrative of identity politics was taken to the forefront this weekend. Which is why I think having a Female at the top of the ticket is the best choice, but they have to have real policy achievements. The joke about Hillary being the "anointed one" rang so sound to me because Hillary never debated or campaigned on policy, it was name-calling, people don't care about that stuff in Government, we want results.

Trump was an act of desperation for voters who didn't have a voice, but anyone like me (born in the 80's) knows who Trump was in the 90's and early 00's. You have a semblance of a mind knew he's a straight elitist con-artist. People will be in a rude awakening in the next couple years, because Trump is out to line his pockets, no matter the visit from Union leaders etc. He knows how to manipulate which is how he got so rich. The dude had a press conference once promoting Trump-brand steaks and water, like really? Who the hell has ever purchased that garbage? Unless you were at a hotel, and him having gold everywhere with personal property should tell you what kind of man he really is.

A rich dude who's delusional. But, he knows how to strike a cord in the sub-consciousness of people and how to manipulate people against one another. All you have to do is look at his staff right now, he wants them at each-other's throats. Spicer on Saturday was the Bannon part of his staff, while Spicer on Monday was the Kushner part of his staff. Everyone will get a turn, and after the midterm elections expect a lot of "resigning" or "You're Fired" to be going on. Trump is on the thinnest leash of any President because most people who follow know the man he is, but a lot of people went to him out of desperation.

2016 Election was about the Populist revolution in politics, we had a very small voice made big. (such a Trump quote). Bernie was the perfect candidate to go against him, because they had similar messages until you get to the Wall-Street and Socialist aspects of it. More people liked Bernie than anyone for the mere fact he was authentic. We knew Trump wasn't but Hillary wanted to play divide and concur, most Americans are not like that, we just want equal opportunity and actual jobs out there. A true Progressive candidate would've won 2016, no one believes in America for free University college but we believe it should be debt-free so people have a true chance in succeeding, no one in America believes in single-payer healthcare but think the less fortunate should have a public option to compete with the private sector.

America has a great democracy but since Bush was elected, the divide to the extremes got way too big and now we are kind of trending to a Fascist regime but with the laws we have in place we can question everything. That's why Trump's team walks the tightrope they do because they want to have total control but they can't get it because our rights overrule his as a man who governs the country. After his 100 days, we'll see where we're headed. The GOP is just happy to have full control back but they wanted a guy like Rubio or Bush to run away with it because they're so knee-deep in the special interests.
