(46,585 posts)...Sanders and/or Ellison, out of the DNC? Or how Obama made a phone call to Perez to run in the first to prevent the party from falling into progressive hands with Ellison's candidacy, and then calling and leaning hard on delegates to vote for Perez? That's your definition of rejection? in my book that's manipulation and bullying.
The vote is sacrosanct and the aggressive intrusion into peoples' voting record here is appalling. And the blaming! My god it's surreal. It's everything and everybody else's fault for the loss. You are all so enmeshed in a singular mindset that I won't bother to elaborate herein.
Just know there's a substantial amount of people that have a different mindset, for instance people are absolutely flabbergasted that last election's Democratic VP nominee (along with other Democrats) recently voted with the Republicans to hollow out Dodd-Frank to further deregulate the banks. Good lord that's insanity! Progressives' point of view on this is common sense/moral integrity and you call it rejection. That division which you insist on is the reason this place is no longer the vibrant community it used to be.
Have a great day.
