In reply to the discussion: Keith Ellison Supporters Warn Of Fallout If He Loses DNC Chair Race [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,690 posts)If Perez wins, were not gonna come out with pitchforks and say, No, no, no, said Murshed Zaheed, political director of Credo Action, an online progressive heavyweight that has experienced record growth since Trumps inauguration. But people are going to roll their eyes and just keeping doing what they do. Its going to keep the DNC what it is: an irrelevant, old, stale entity that hasnt been re-serviced since the Howard Dean days.
Their point is that the Democrats will loose out on an opportunity to try and be more inclusive, and to heal divisions by showing that the leadership does not hate the almost half that voted for Bernie. It seems like many in DU hate them but thank gawd this bitter group doesn't decide for us.
So now Warren and Schumer are also unclean lepers for daring to endorse the same candidate as Sanders? As well as apparently most other Democrats (if he is indeed still ahead)
Reading through this thread it seems like a lot of bitter folks determined not to ever accept back the 40 something percent of members that originally wanted Bernie and his platform to succeed in the primaries. Talk about sore winners. And a failing strategy to win. Lumping Stein with Bernie (who roundly rejected her overtures) is getting old as well.
