Give it a break, Bernie. [View all] DanTex Feb 2017 OP

Unless you are for the same old, same old, what's the problem? aikoaiko Feb 2017 #1

If you don't understand that that was a shot at Perez's ties to Clinton and Obama, DanTex Feb 2017 #2

I think Bernie's been saying similar things about the party for a long time. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #5

It was because Ellison was his pick BainsBane Feb 2017 #8

You think he would have made the same comment at Keith Ellison? Not a chance. DanTex Feb 2017 #12

No, but then again Ellison is different from Perez. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #17

Right. So his guy didn't win, and instead of coming out for unity, he's DanTex Feb 2017 #21

Ok. And? aikoaiko Feb 2017 #25

And he needs to give it a break, because it's harmful to party unity. Like I said in the OP. DanTex Feb 2017 #26

I think it's helpful to those who are more marginalized in the party... aikoaiko Feb 2017 #35

the marginalized are the poor and oppressed, people of color BainsBane Feb 2017 #46

"Suppression"? Oh for chrissakes NastyRiffraff Feb 2017 #141

When the reaction is STFU, yeah, that's trying to suppress. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #144

I can't see Sanders shutting up NastyRiffraff Feb 2017 #149

I know. He's so inconvenient. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #154

He's not inconvenient NastyRiffraff Feb 2017 #158

That is exactly the kind of intra-party sniping that both Ellison and Perez DanTex Feb 2017 #34

Yep. calimary Feb 2017 #65

So its intra-party sniping that is the real problem LiberalLovinLug Feb 2017 #165

Can you follow the OP and/or your own post that I responded to? Lil Missy Feb 2017 #305

When you said he lost I thought you meant the primary? What are you referring to? aikoaiko Feb 2017 #310

The OP is about the DNC vote between Ellison and Perez. Bernie's choice, Ellison, lost. Lil Missy Feb 2017 #321

Exactly. He seems to enjoy the division. unitedwethrive Feb 2017 #88

Some, But Not All Me. Feb 2017 #40

Yesterday he certainly didn't speak for the two new leaders, including HIS choice for chairman. George II Feb 2017 #70

He congratulated Tom Perez and spoke for change. aikoaiko Feb 2017 #146

He congratulated him and immediately went into lecture mode, telling him how to do his job. George II Feb 2017 #155

A different party banner? Kentonio Feb 2017 #74

Not at all, but he was clearly never a Democrat, and he might be better served by unitedwethrive Feb 2017 #83

He won the support of 45% of the party. Kentonio Feb 2017 #87

Maybe it's what is needed. Why is that dangerous? unitedwethrive Feb 2017 #92

Why? Kentonio Feb 2017 #99

He revealed a big divide it the Democratic Party, why not have the two factions present themselves unitedwethrive Feb 2017 #128

Because the system isn't designed to handle more than two parties Kentonio Feb 2017 #138
