They're pissed at him because they feel that he weakened superdelegates too much quote:Members passed a measure inside their caucus stating they have “no confidence” in Perez as DNC chair. Black Caucus members remain upset with how Perez handled the historic August vote to strip superdelegates of their power during the party’s presidential nominating process. The changes block superdelegates — elected officials and party leaders — from casting a vote for any presidential candidate unless a second ballot is required at the 2020 national convention. e:fb

Retro42 posted:Here you go being all reasonable and logical about it. Clearly the correct answer it zero-tolerance for centrists regardless of the cost. there's still plenty of time for a proper opposition to coalesce, but it definitely hasn't yet and lol at the idea of progressive congresscritters voting for Tim Ryan over Pelosi at this juncture that's certainly not all bad even for Pelosi-dislikers, though, maybe she'll keep buddying up with the progressives to make sure they don't make a bid

yronic heroism posted:Yeah but the year is 2066 and the USPOL thread is restless. They have had enough of millenial libs trying to translate their ancient twitter game onto the neural net. And did you hear how Speaker AOC voted for the previous speaker who said she was a capitalist way back when? Betcha didn’t until my neural meme just galaxy’d your mind! Such cowardly centrism cannot stand, must not stand. Are you kidding? We'll be strangling each other over the 2016 primaries well into 2100.

Super Delegates are inherently undemocratic loving garbage, and I'm glad that poo poo is gone. Kingmakers only encourage corruption. Also I don't even understand the rebeling dems point. "We can pick a better Speaker of the House than Pelosi." "But we have no idea who that is!" At least pick someone first, for gently caress sakes.

Why is the Congressional Black Caucus in particular upset about watering down superdelegates? Is it because they are themselves superdelegates, or is there a civil rights issue I'm missing?

Farchanter posted:Why is the Congressional Black Caucus in particular upset about watering down superdelegates? Is it because they are themselves superdelegates, or is there a civil rights issue I'm missing? They liked having the kingmaking influence of a large, unified block. Which, given the context of, well, America and the black experience within it, is understandable. But it's still undemocratic as gently caress and attempts to spin in at disenfranchisement didn't spur much sympathy.
