DNC Restructuring

[Andalusian girls]

it's pretty fantastic that Perez is being decried as a neoliberal establishment shill after being the liberal labor secretary of the most liberal administration of modernity. first Latino DNC Chair? proven record of fighting for worker rights? given the full support of a conciliatory Ellison? how can any of that live up the majesty of a Bernie Sanders endorsement.

Because the Justice Democrats want to do things on their terms and fight against the current republican party the honorable way without realizing what the fuck the reality is.

Typical alt-left reductionist garbage. I bet you didn't even occupy wall st.

I love people pretending that Perez isn't part of the left wing of the Democratic party.

It's optics.

As if though the person nominated matters? Perez is super hyper liberal, sure whatever. But that doesn't really matter when it comes to turn out, does it?

The message to those wanting a change of leadership and trajectory, to opt for a more populist ideal; was to quash any and all excitement, and maintain the status quo after a national election that was a referendum on the establishment. How are you going to get those people to turn out now knowing that they've been, once again, completely ignored?

Democrats are legit bad at this.

Trump

But yes, I don't understand why those stupid Democrats would want to associate themselves with an appointee of a popular two-term President. They'll never wash Obama's stink off the party, what an anchor that guy is.

Considering the massive amount of losses the democrats had while Obama was the face of the party, I think if Obama had stink to stick to, the democrats would love it.

But he couldn't even drag Hillary Clinton over the line against Trump.

But those massive loses were due to people distancing themselves away from Obamacare. I mean ffs we had a decent chance at McConnel's senate seat in 2014 and the person there decided to swing right and decry obamacare.

In the one state where Obamacare was a massive success, no less.

I also agree that democrats should also swing more left.

Obamacare is a crap republican plan, but it's better than nothing.

That's because Kentucky loved KYnect, not Obamacare.

It was the establishment's decision to distance itself from its flagship political achievement. This is why the left hates the establishment, folks. Happens constantly.
