FWIW I'd be happy with either Ellison or Perez, they both seem like legit good progressive choices if you strip away all the hype-campaign bullshit around each of them. But it's hardly irrational for the DNC to look at this past election cycle and go "ok, maybe America isn't ready for a muslim DNC chair." Maybe that calculation is immoral, but it's not irrational.

As spectators, we're all operating on incomplete information. But from the outside, we can see that Perez has already caved to the loyalists once in this campaign for DNC chair. Ellison seems much less tractable.

Tom Perez is fine in a vacuum, but I think it's a bit obtuse to pretend this DNC chairmanship hasn't become—fairly or unfairly—a symbol of the party's future.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Does that matter? No, and I admit it's a small (though not insignificant) portion of the electorate that even cares. But there's no upside to nominating Tom Perez (unless you truly believe Ellison is incapable of handling the position) and it's likely his election could make things dicier for the Dems around primary time.

I guess this is a good place to remind people that your town has a DTC, its members are elected, and you can run to be on it if you wish. Often you can get in if like, four people vote for you.

I have rarely seen a more contemptuous, sneering group than the anti-Bernie Democrats. Look at some of the tweet replies to Schumer (and Peter Daou  )And they're almost always middle-aged and "wise to the ways of the world". Utter garbage.

Dean wasn't arguing "Millenials don't vote, so gently caress em." He was saying that the Dems need to actively give younger voters a positive reason to vote for them, which pretty much echoes the words of every Bernie-or-buster I knew this election. Of course, he concluded the best way to do this is to elect Pete Buttigieg sooooo
