First I think having Kieth Ellison as the head of the DNC would be the right optics and the perfect contrast to all the Islamophobic bigoted hate spewing forth from the clockwork orange man and the Republicans. Second I think its time this proud party of ours gets back to its FDR roots and abandon the DLC mantra of centrists politics that took hold in the party in the 1990's. And third I want to see President Obama's ban on the DNC accepting corporate donations reinstated and Keith is the only candidate I see doing that. Debbie should have never changed that rule in my opinion.
