So far Sanders has shown himself unable or unwilling to lead the anti-Trump opposition, except in one way: by pushing Keith Ellison for Democratic National Committee chairman.


quote:

He is uniquely positioned to unite progressives, carrying the passion of the Sanders movement into the party while representing the racial and religious minorities endangered in the Trump era. “I don't think this can be understated: There is a divide in our party right now,” said Ken Martin, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a longtime Ellison supporter. “There are a lot of people who are looking for a new voice and a new vision and a fresh perspective. We need someone who can heal that wound and bring everyone together, get all of those stakeholders and survivors to buy into the DNC and buy into our party and start putting our energies into fighting Republicans instead of fighting each other.”

An anti-Semite, Hamas sympathizing Muslim to head the democratic party. That'll bring those blue collar white workers back

O'Malley is thinking of jumping in and Howard Dean is 100% running.

I want to see it happen.

It will further reinforce the fact that the Democratic party is a haven for bigotry, intolerance, and racism.

I'm so glad that come January they will be a true minority party in this country.

It would guarantee a Trump 2nd term...or Pence if Trump decides he is tired of winning.

It should be a huge smack in the face to ordinary people but the media will ignore it and carry the dems water and we will have an extreme radical setting policy for one of the two major parties. It SHOULD kill the Democratic Party but it won't and that's what scares me.

I just think people are overrating the importance of the DNC chair. It's more important for Democrats themselves, as in rules and regulations with regard to primaries and caucuses, than it is guiding policy.

Whoever the Dems run in 2020 is way more important than who the DNC chair is. People don't generally care about the chair, or didn't, until this last election where the Wikileaks emails exposed collusion.

If I were running the D's, I'd turn to Dean.

That's a lot of words for you to miss the point.

Why is Keith Ellison gaining steam?

8For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
