that is to say the corporatist criticism of Perez isn't entirely without merit. To be honest I just really don't care for the battle lines that got drawn between bernie/ellison and clinton/obama/perez and hope that we're still not talking about "bernie candidates" or "clinton candidates" come 2018

There is value in establishment Democratic party figures getting kicked out of their positions by virtue of the fact that it means others will also fear getting kicked out of their positions. One of the biggest problems the Democrats have is there's no reason for establishment figures to listen to any of their constituents because they've made it hard to participate in the party itself, so the leaders aren't really being held accountable. Making them afraid for their jobs can only be a good thing.
