"The Media" is one of the most nebulous terms in existence. That poll is idiotic.

The Fox News poll used "Reporters"

I kinda agree? Making it about economic issues rather than just anti-Trump seems more like a sure thing (haha whatever).

My position as well, although I wasn't all that invested in how this DNC chair process concluded.

Tom Perez, however, is still an awful speaker.

of course the people they cover also shouldn't be swearing blood-feuds on them so

So is Perez just a Hillary boi? Or is he different. Tell me what this man believes in so I can know how to feel about this

The major unions, from teachers to Autoworkers, worship the guy. He prosecuted hella good for the Civil Division of the DOJ. He's worked for decades with and for immigrant groups. loving loves the idea of raising the minimum wage. Did like the TPP (boo).

Here's an example of the articles run on him the last few years

quote:

"I feel at home," Perez told the thousands of union activists gathered at the AFL-CIO convention in Los Angeles on Tuesday. He then spent the next 40 minutes of the keynote address pledging to raise the minimum wage, protect worker rights and look after middle-class and immigrant workers.

"Nobody who works 40 hours a week should have to live in poverty," he told union leaders. "As we work together, we will build a better America. As we work together we will bring the middle class to thrive again. As we work together, we will make sure that everybody has the ladder of opportunity to climb."

The audience gave him a standing ovation when he was finished. The speech was seen as an important first step for Perez to publicly cement his reputation as a strong union backer at a time when labor membership has waned.

But I do think Ellison is more of an enthusiasm gaining get, so that's who I'm rooting for. But Perez is both real and good.

edit: I mean did you post that scorching take without knowing anything else about him other than his endorsments?

he once supported hillary clinton which is enough to send the dnc posters into hysteria

this might be part of why perez appointed ellison as deputy chair but the moral loss is going to give progressives a hit something fierce and perez is gonna have to give some real show stopping stands against republican policy, even "compromises" if he wants to prove himself.

The left loves nothing more than splitting into smaller and smaller factions over petty disputes. It is their raison d'être. Forget worker's and civil rights, they crave balkanization more than any of that.

Plus their proposed plans for the future of the party at the state level were pretty much identical

Perez will very likely be perfectly fine and a trillion times better than DWS, the problem is that a lot of people will view this as a stark repudiation of all the progressives who have become extremely active in the party post-Trump. Perez's #1 job right now is to placate them, ideally with actions as well as words

I pretty much agree with this. Perez was, as far as I'm aware, highly regarded as Labor Secretary which doesn't strike me as a role someone brought and paid for by corporations would excel in but he definitely needs to show something that placates the progressive wing of the party. I'm hopeful but prepared to be disappointed.
