I do think that unabashed, undiluted leftism might be the antidote to Trumpism, but progressives and so-called "corporate" types will just need to learn to coexist for the time being, since neither is going anywhere. Incessant infighting on fairly trivial things like the DNC chair (who is pretty damn progressive in his own right) only empowers the opposition when we really can't afford to do such a thing. Primary challenges are good, but the left needs to rally around whoever the Dems nominate in races up and down the ballot.

This is where I get hung up. If Ellison and Perez are both progressive, then why did Obama want Perez to run in the first place?
And didn't he say whe wouldn't get rid of corporate donatikns as long as the Republicans have them? That doesn't seem very progressive. Not to mention his support of TPP, which is not progressive.
