Honestly, I could give a gently caress whether Ellison or Perez or somebody else takes over at the DNC. It's not like they are going to be able to magically produce results or viable candidates just by taking the job. Hell, Priebus didn't have gently caress-all to do with the rise and election of Trump. You can dick around all day with the party platform or cute slogans or party direction, and accomplish nothing unless you can recruit viable candidates and get them funded. That's my major concern. If you can't get competent people that can communicate to the electorate in swing districts and states and then get them funded, you're going nowhere. So whatever candidate can do that, I'm all on board for them.

deadgoon posted:i unironically want minorities who are oppressed by the cops to have guns with which to defend themselves from the cops Then make it so. Start a program that gives every 18 year old minority a gun and free concealed carry instruction and all they have to do is register to vote. At the end of the CC course they'll have a gun and a photo ID that qualifies as a valid Voter ID in every state. Win/win.

Good for Perez. I'm honestly excited that the Democrats did the right thing by electing him. After 9 years of the GOP attacking the head of the Democratic party as a black, muslim, socialist, the last thing we needed was an honest to God black, muslim, socialist elected as the head of the party.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Ellison's not a socialist tho, or is that the joke? I honestly, not ironically, thought that the whole point of this poo poo was that Ellison was some kind of self proclaimed, honest to god socialist, birthed directly from Bernie's nether regions. If that's wrong, then what the gently caress are 90% of the people in this thread even complaining about?

Condiv posted:the point was that ellison was a compromise candidate, but that wasn't enough for the establishment. they have to maintain full control of the party at any cost "Compromise", compromise compared to what? To be a compromise it has to be in between what you want and what the other side wants. Who in the loving hell was to the left of Ellison or Bernie had a god damned snowball's chance in hell of being elected to any national level position? Get the gently caress out with that poo poo.

Also, kind of laughing at the fact that these are the very people that almost everyone in this thread wants to die as quickly as possible.

Shear Modulus posted:There are some Trump voters who are terrible people, like the complete maga chuds and Nazis. There are also some Trump voters who aren't terrible people, like the swing voters that voted for Obama twice but went to Trump because he lied better about caring about their lovely situation or because of the Comey letter or whatever. People that lump these two together are really loving stupid So if there are some Trump voters who are good people, then by extension, are there some Clinton voters who are good people? Because the people in that video are not poor rurals and I don't that any were Trump voters. Those people are boomer middle class white union employees.
