He's right they shouldn't leave the party. They need to conquer it, State after State, county after county.

that's the right approach.

once a few dozen votes, not 200.....impossible to overlook this change.

the tea party system can't be copied 1 to 1 with an "intellectual" party, imho.

[ApatheticAustrian]

there is sooo much BS about ellison on the web.......depends more on the question if one wants to be insulted, imho.

i like perez more each second.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Please don't tell me you guys are actually stupid enough to be successfully trolled by Donald Trump.

trump has no clue who ellison or perez are and would have written the same anyway.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the jim demint wing of any party is a death knell for democracy and victory.

[ApatheticAustrian]

hard to stomach such intra-party "hate"...not cause i somehow detest hard debate or am a peace dove but cause it's the worst way to spent your own mental ressources in hard times.

[ApatheticAustrian]

everything IS fine.

well...

when was the DNC the last time led by someone with MORE lefty credentials than perez?

[ApatheticAustrian]

Probably plenty of times, but certainly Paul Kirk.

that would have been some time ago.

atm perez's progressive agenda gets backrolled by ryan, those people hate him for a reason.

[ApatheticAustrian]

every big party has wings, especially in the US with the hyper-combined two-party-system.

here in german we even say that the correct level of escalation would be "enemy --> arch-enemy --> fellow party member."

if one wing wants to obliterate the other one, be my guest, but this would kill any chances of winning at all anyway.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the BS view would be that perez is a dishonest, corporate shill and ellison is an antisemite, radical bigot....

how about we say...both views are wrong and stupid and shouldn't be spread aound anymore?

[ApatheticAustrian]

No, she talked about how Dangerous Donald was mean, she works hard, and how it's her turn.

contrary to public myth, she has talked a whole lot about jobs and specific plans to bring jobs to communities.

[ApatheticAustrian]

i was against bernie as general election candidate cause the US is the US but i got more respect for the guy than for 100 corbynites combined.

[ApatheticAustrian]

perez wants to make keith into the face of the Democrats and keith brings tom along.

+ they are together at a conference tomorrow.

[ApatheticAustrian]

this is practical unity.

[ApatheticAustrian]

with public and private positions,

like every effing politican and - to be totally truthfully - every living person with a working brain, imho.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Ellison grows on me each day.

next interesting talk...



if this messaging is holding on, ellison is going to be the face of the party as much as perez...

Perez and Bernie are teaming up for a tour of places where Dems have lost
