I'm just glad Ellison's gonna have a useful job in the Democratic Party.

Because he's staying in Congress.

Keep in mind at least ~215 (really all of them) of these are neoliberal shills but really perez is a bag man/lightning rod

Dunno I wanted Ellison to win but the DNC is full of the same shitheads with or without him. I'm probably safe near ledges atm.

obviously just trying to save the progressives from wasting top talent on such an unimportant position, obama being an expert on conserving and growing your political capital and assets. hell, he managed to hang on to most of his for over eight years! that rainy day is coming any time now

The DNC chair can both be a powerless position and also be treasured by shitheads of any ideological persuasion.

I feel like wanting ellison to win and not being devistated he didn't is consistent with it being a relatively powerless position.

no, i don't give a gently caress about the context of 'but would that solve racism' -- her job was to deliver a clear, positive message that resonated with the people and she fuckin' failed at that.

we don't put up with trump supporters with their "what he meant to say" bullshit, so why do we give that kind of clumsy mealymouthing a break from dread abuela?
