ATLANTA (CNN)--Progressive activists lashed out at the Democratic Party on Saturday after their choice to lead its national committee, Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, was defeated by former Obama administration Labor Secretary Tom Perez in a tight and unexpectedly contentious contest.
After the results were announced, angry Ellison loyalists rose from their seats in the back of the ballroom at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel and tried to shout down outgoing interim chair Donna Brazile, chanting, "Party for the people, not big money!"
"This shows that the Democratic Party didn't learn their lesson," said Alexa Vaca, an Ellison backer and supporter of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during the party's divisive 2016 primary race. "They are not going to be in touch with the people and they are not ready to move in a new direction despite the rhetoric."
Perez came up a vote short of a clinching majority on the first ballot, then captured 235 of the 435 votes cast on the second. In between votes, the Ellison camp sent out a text message to DNC members claiming that South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who dropped out of the running before a vote was cast, had endorsed him. But the information was incorrect, and Buttigieg confronted Ellison backstage. A correction was sent out with an apology. . .

If these are "Democrats" then I am now rolling over in my grave.
Ah, yes... the party of the “Invisible Empire” returns to it’s racist roots to put down the black man again! This was a political lynching of another “uppity” Negro who dared to challenge the Clinton/Obama death grip on the Democrat Party.
Yea!!! It’s working! They will hopefully remain as disjointed and unfocused as this past year!!
I'm waiting for the snowflakes and...admit it, racist white extinction fans, in the Dem party, to decry him as such and justify it on grounds of his sexism.
While still pushing Hillary who enabled Bill.
Our real goal is to figure out how to set the various splinter groups within the party at each other's throats, while still keeping in mind the adage:
"But that is the spirit of Mordor, Sam; and it has spread to every corner of it. Orcs have always behaved like that, or so all tales say, when they are on their own. But you can't get much hope out of it. They hate us far more, altogether and all the time. If those two had seen us, they would have dropped all their quarrel until we were dead."
Bring back institutionalizing of the insane. That should bring the Dhimmicrat Party back to about 1960.
Reminds me of the time that we caught two mice in the same glue trap, and as we gingerly carried the mess to the garbage, they were tearing at each other. This is too good. And it’s true:E)
Nope...our real goal is and definitely should be to move the congressional Republicans in our direction so they get off their asses and pass President Trump's agenda. So far the Republicans in Congress haven't done squat this year.
Progressives are revolting? This has been known for a long long time.
In Mississippi we call that being "McDanieled via Cochran"
His email says “mother load”? That’s not a typo, that’s him not knowing the correct word.
I’m a long time Tolkien fan, and am struck by the similarity of that with a famous Leon Uris passage:
“...before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.”
Ha...you left out (no pun intended) the key designator...the H factor
Hermaphrodites all....so they can F each other.
Put the car in drive, and pull the wheel hard to the left. After a while, see where you at, and see where you are going.
Progressives are revolting!
They soitenly are!
We can only hope they have a good, old-fashioned Stalinist purge.
——Democrats still do not want to join the real world——
I would argue that there is the belief that the Cities, the source of the winning majority popular vote, are the real world.
What is interesting to me is the fact that the party is split down the middle. The split was obscured in the primaries by the superdelegates. The Clinton wing did not have the super delegate anomaly in the election for party chair. The one vote margin displays the split as it really exists. The rancor is going to grow rather than be pacified
Couldn’t have pick a better sleazeball, evil, slimy looking rodent to represent the Demorat party.
