I live in SC, so I hear the flag “heritage” bullshit all the fucking time. These yokels think it’s cool to be subtly racist, but guys like King mainstream it.

Displaying a Confederate flag on your desk should be instantly disqualifying, especially when you represent a state that fought for the Union. Iowa, y’all deserve better than this.

Dude, that woman has cool glasses, a sassy haircut, and a nice suit jacket. I’ll bet she’s somewhere right now living her best life and not giving a single fuck.

How long before this religion dies off? Like they couldn’t possibly be recruiting at the rate they need to sustain themselves much longer right?

THANK YOU. Ida B Wells taught us, and we walked straight. FOHWTBS about ‘let-downs’ - we were stans for HRC to the very end. Y’all don’t get to be all revisionist on us, we’d nothing to do with the carnage on the 9th.

I want to star this a million times. Perez will do the day to day organizing while Ellison as “ceremonial” deputy chief will be the firebrand and still keep his seat which is important right now. Revolution goes back to where it started but a sustained social movement will get us progress.

Meanwhile, back in the world that actually exists, Perez will make a good DNC chair, just like Ellison would have., for a party that had a setback in 2016 but is hardly reduced to ashes.

The two men are united, and both wasted no time saying so. One would think we could follow their lead!

Nina Turner, a Sanders surrogate, told the Post’s Dave Weigel that “the future of the Democratic Party will walk away” if Ellison loses.

I literally had to read your comment several times to try to figure out that you WEREN’T just saying “god forbid we respect the DNC chair.” Because I mean...if you’ll literally leave the party because the guy you liked (which, let’s be honest, a lot of people were fired up about Bc a dude who doesn’t even call himself…

I for one am pleased as punch by this decision. Perez has a great record. His work on police accountability, voter rights, and unions has been steadfast for decades. Just because he wasn’t Sander’s first pick doesn’t mean he’s evil (or as the kids like to incorrectly say today “neoliberal”).

By...picking a DNC chair that’s near-identical to another DNC candidate? JFC this division is getting rediculous. “My guy says he’ll raise min wage by $10, and the other guy will only raise it by $9.50! CORRUPT RIGGED BERN IT TO THE GROUND!” Jeezy creezy.

Can’t wait for the Jill Stein voters to say this validates their votes in 2016, and refuse to support efforts to elect Democrats in 2018, because, really, when you come right down to it, Trump’s policies don’t really affect them very much.

Because he’ll rubber stamp the legislation they want, or because they would rather see a Republican, no matter horrible and destructive, than a Democrat in the oval office?

I like the cut of your jib, hollienanner.

How is Ryan only 2 years older than Trudeau and he looks like death? Maybe it’s the lighting, but he looks ashen in those standing photos.

I don’t think I can top this tweet

You shut your filthy mouth! They do NOT have the same hair. Ryan’s is short and sticky and yucky, and Trudeau’s is soft and curly and perfect.

I was just explaining the concept of universal health care.
