I don’t think you understand the role of the DNC Chair, which is to fundraise and organize, two things that Ellison is empirically better at than Perez, who has worked 1 country level election.

We are in a position such that when they put in Reince as Chief Of Staff, I think I actually breathed a sigh of relief as there would be a goddamn adult (albeit one I have no time for) in the room.

Breitbart are in the goddamn White House.

I’m sending RBG super vitamins is what I’m doing
And whatever Stephen Breyer is having too
