I think Ellison with his "checkered" (Muslim) past would have been very easy to make into a boogeyman. I know liberals think shouting "racist!" would have been enough to counter that, but I think the party leaders thought twice and worried about that.

You are literally advocating democrats pursued a strategy of embracing racism and catering to racists Which some portion of them probably did

GlyphGryph posted:That's the narrative now, as if Ellison wasn't an acceptable moderate candidate at his core all along and they didn't give it to perez explicitly as a middle finger to the berniecrats. So wait, was Ellison a moderate or was he literally the only chance at dems ever winning another election ever again? This wah wah bbbbut the optics stuff is weirding me out

Former Everything posted:So wait, was Ellison a moderate or was he literally the only chance at dems ever winning another election ever again? Why can't it be both? This was largely a symbolic race unconcerned with the candidates stances; Perez was the status quo, Ellison an appeal to fiscal dems, and Butt a hail satan "we own your dick now DNC" Ellison wouldn't have got much done as head, but him winning would have been the signal that the democrat leaders recognize that they need to make a move fiscally, while Perez to stay still or shift rightward. This was only emphasized by stuff like the voter that stressed that it would be a bad idea to elect Ellison because "a muslim leader after the people voted in trump??"

GlyphGryph posted:You are literally advocating democrats pursued a strategy of embracing racism and catering to racists Taking it way too far. Choosing to drive around a minefield instead of carefully driving through it isn't embracing or catering to anything. The electorate is the subject of everything they are trying to do. The whole electorate, not just the small number of people who think and talk like this. And not injecting race and identity into every single issue all the time isn't being more racist. It's being more smart. breaklaw has issued a correction as of 23:44 on Feb 25, 2017 |

Neurolimal posted:Why can't it be both? So, basically, despite the fact that in reality both candidates were perfectly fine for the position, now you have to take up pitchforks and stomp your feet and work to undermine the party because the party didn't virtue signal the right way? Perfectly normal. Donald Trump and the republicans are obviously better now because the Bernie endorsed candidate is only the deputy chair.

I don't understand what's hard to get about "people were using this election to gauge how interested the party is in doing literally anything else" and the subsequent reactions when the answer was "not very."
