DNC Chair Race: PEREZ WINS (DNC asks all staffers to resign)

[JoogJoint]

I've been over Obama for awhile now anyways. Glad to see more people waking up. Obama had been in Ellison's shoes, so I don't know why he's acting brand new.

I'm not a Bernie stan, but in retrospect he was easily the best candidate of the final 4 in the primaries.

Exactly what is your agenda that has you stanning for the establishment neoliberals in the democratic party?

having 30 years in congress has nothing to be with being a part of the establishment. don't mistake establishment as being people who have been around a while and nothing more. the establishment are the power brokers. they're elites and many of them don't even bother to hold office in the first place. they give the orders to those that do hold office.

Did I miss where I'm supposed to listen to someone's opinion who isn't even a democrat?

Bernie isn't a democrat because of the establishment. they have their own agenda and it's not about doing what's in the best interest of the general public or even the average dem voter.

Ellison was against TPP. Perez was for it. Nuff said.

You all shouldn't be that surprised @ThreeLetterAgency doesn't support Ellison. Nap isn't that liberal or a progressive. He's not "an agent" just because he thinks that, no matter what his username is.

Sign the petition to re-ban lobbyist money going to the DNC here: http://tytnetwork.com/DNCmoney

Debbie Wasserman Schultz quietly lifted the ban on the DNC taking lobbyist money. New DNC chair hopeful Keith Ellison is getting the ban back together again. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/go

"Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) would support re-instating a ban on the Democratic National Committee accepting donations from lobbyists, he told the Huffington Post in an interview published Wednesday.

“I think it’s important that people feel that the party is their party,” Ellison said. “There is a pragmatic, perhaps too pragmatic step that you can say, ‘We’ll just take whatever money from whatever source in whatever amount.’ But once you do that, I think you cross a line where people do not feel that the party is really theirs.”

In a separate interview with the publication, Labor Secretary Tom Perez, seen as the other leading contender for DNC chair, said that “we have to have everything on the table” and did not rule out accepting donations from lobbyists.

The Washington Post had reported last year that the DNC, then under the leadership of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), had done away with the ban on such donations, which was initially proposed by Barack Obama when he was a presidential candidate 2008.”*
