The Next DNC Chair: TOM PEREZ WINS, makes Ellison deputy chair

[Confused Democrat]

Perez claims the entire KY/MS/VI delegations.

This is going to get real ugly real fast.

[Confused Democrat]

Ellison apparently has received support from every voting member in Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Vermont, along with the majority of DNC voters from Texas and California.

Also, does anybody have a list of all the voting DNC members?

Like a list of actual names? I don't think so.

Vox has a pretty detailed article though.

[Confused Democrat]

The article Confused Dem posted contained this list of DNC members.

Well I'll be damned, they must have updated the article.

[Confused Democrat]

Chuck Schumer endorses Keith Ellison.

Well, I'd be torn on who to vote for now if I had a vote.  Have to disagree with Howard Dean here.

Schumer endorsed Ellison in November.

[Confused Democrat]

Good speech. Wish he won his Senate race.

[Confused Democrat]

Donna is pissed about Russia.

And she should be.

[Confused Democrat]

I'm watching the C-SPAN coverage and there are a lot more people around Keith's booth than Tom's. Some are around Jehmu's.

A lot of them probably aren't voters though.

Reporters have said that there are lot more Ellison folks in the non-voting supporters area than for other candidates.

This should tell you something.

[Confused Democrat]

Does anyone else have an irrational hatred for Jaime Harrison, or is it just me?

[Confused Democrat]

Poor Sam.

[Confused Democrat]

I think the choice is clear.

[Confused Democrat]

Jarrett is whipping votes for Perez.

The Obama-Clinton wing are going to run this party into the ground.

[Confused Democrat]

Is an endorsement incoming?

[Confused Democrat]

I don't think it was a coincidence that Valerie Jarrett started whipping votes for Perez the second the nominating process for Buttigieg started...

[Confused Democrat]

He needs to run for something else soon. He's relateable, charismatic, I'd seriously love to see him as President one day.

Don't forget gay! That's the best part.

[Confused Democrat]

Boy that was long.

[Confused Democrat]

COME ON ALREADY!

[Confused Democrat]

I'm not counting on Democrats making the right decision when they've made mistakes many times before, but please, pick Ellison.

There's an old saying:

[Confused Democrat]

This gonna get ugly.

[Confused Democrat]

Establishment Dems:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

They're in denial.

[Confused Democrat]

What a disaster.

[Confused Democrat]

I appreciate the olive branch, but I think this was the wrong move for the Democratic Party.

[Confused Democrat]

Today's whole debacle can be summarized as the Democratic Party cutting off an arm and putting a bandaid over it, in hopes that it'll make everything better.

I don't think it's going to work.

[Confused Democrat]

Just take a look at the forums that Sanders supporters frequent, and you'll see that this isn't going over well. #unity right?

You might think they're being unreasonable, but Perez was objectively the worst choice for party unity. This is eerily similar to the 2016 primaries.

I'll probably never leave the Democratic Party, but this was just the wrong move strategically. Also, the self-righteous and paternalistic attitude that a lot of the red avatars are taking towards the Bernie wing of the party is not helpful in the slightest.
