Resistance and anger: progressives urge Democratic party to stand up and fight

Keith Ellison emerges as a top contender to lead the DNC in the fight against Trump, while Howard Dean and Martin O’Malley say they are considering bids

The morning after election day was supposed to be one of reckoning for Republicans battered by internal strife over their unpopular nominee, Donald Trump.

Instead, it was the Democrats who awoke to a harrowing new world. Hillary Clinton’s stunning defeat on Tuesday left the party leaderless and opened a struggle for control.

“The Democratic establishment had their chance with this election,” Stephanie Taylor, a co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said in a statement. “It’s time for new leadership of the Democratic Party – younger, more diverse, and more ideological – that is hungry to do things differently, like leading a movement instead of dragging people to the polls.”

All these names being floated reads like a who’s who of freaks, traitors, and losers.

Turning further left should serve them well. I’m sure it’s what they want to do.

THe media = including Fox News (O’Reilly) always use the term “progressives” instead of “liberals”. They know that “liberals” now has a negative connotation. “Progressives” sounds so forward thinking......as opposed to the regrssive conservatives.... Just more BS from the MSM.

I don’t think that’s it. I think even RAT voters don’t want to go too much further left right now. There’s been too much change even for them IMHO. Maybe it’s wishful thinking but really I didn’t hear them calling for more of the same. All they said were Trumps a racist and Hillarys a woman. That’s not standing for anything, that’s just brainwashing.

Perfect. When a radical, worn-out criminal hag flops like a lead zeppelin, replace her with a loud-mouthed, do-nothing muslime gadfly who's as likable as an ex-wife and has the broad appeal of ketchup-flavored ice cream.

Keep the blinders on, libs. You're making this really easy for us.

Elizabeth Warren is known as anti wall street bank crusader. Trump has already indicated he will pass some bank regulations, which would leave her with nothing to run on.
