Days after the November election, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party was ascendant. There was no greater sign of its rising stature than the momentum Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota was enjoying in his race to chair the Democratic National Committee.
Ellison, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during the 2016 presidential primary, was racking up endorsements not only from Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), but establishment figures as well, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers — both of whom backed Hillary Clinton in the primary.
But in December, former Labor Secretary Tom Perez jumped into the DNC race. Now, Ellison and Perez are neck-and-neck, with the election days away. The DNC’s 447 voting members will decide the party’s next chair in Atlanta on Saturday.
That has some Ellison supporters worried that their chance to reshape the party is in danger of disappearing. In an attempt to head off Perez, some prominent Ellison supporters argue that failing to elect him would squander a major opportunity to energize the progressive grassroots and heal the wounds of the 2016 presidential primary....

Winning.
...what are they gonna do...bomb a local fish shop or steakhouse?
Sounds reasonable to me.
Muslims are ALL about Peace!!
Well heck then, they got my vote
We should Always want to vote for the people who threaten to destroy stuff if you don’t
It’s the new progressive way
We can’t lose. Both candidates are raving lunatics who will herd the rats en masse over the cliff.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) - Ripped off loser, testerone free vessel
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) - Not the face of the Party, according to Schumer.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) - Crybaby
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers - Soon to be filing for Chapter 7 once DeVos gets the wheels rolling. Or at least applies for Soros welfare before the Ruskies get their hands on him.
With friends like these, he needs ISIS endorsement to pull it off. Whoops, already has the Islamic block.
Like the the Japanese Imperial Army after Fat Boy.
I can live with that.
Any Democrat who doesn’t vote for Keith hates muslims. Pass it on.
Heads will roll. Literally.
Sounds like there will be radioactive fallout either way. If Ellison IS chosen, then the rule of Islam, and thus Shariah Law, shall become part of the Democrat Platform. If, on the other hand, another is chosen, then the various Democrat headquarters stand to be subject to firebombings and maybe a Charlie Hebdo-style massacre, for “ridiculing” the Islamic faith.
The Democrats have made a Faustian bargain.
Probably
Sounds like a win-win situation, a Muslim-Black, or Hispanic.
So, it’s a WIN either way!
Yea let them riot..sweep em up, deport, jail, and post roadsigns islam is the lies of a satanic prophet.
Perhaps at soros parties the transvestites can eat sushi off little children’s bodies..all so progressive.
“Days after the November election, the progressive wing of the Democratic Party was ascendant.”
The term “Dead cat bounce” comes to mind.
Gee, will there be enough protesters to go around? Guess the ones in ND can come down here now that there gig is up.
