1. I have never seen Miracle on 34th Street.

Please don’t generalize who I am. I am a card-carrying Democrat and as liberal as they come. I am a single mom who was considered too mouthy by my ex-husband, so I (along with my 2 y/o) participated in the women’s march here in California.

We need to bring the Foxers and the Brietbarians over to our side, or at least their hangers on at any rate (the hard core Foxers et al will never come over, but their more casual coterie who follow the loudest noise and biggest crowd are susceptible to change). We need their votes, there is no other way to say that,…

It’s regressive but it’s also America. The Protestant-majority did it to the Catholic immigrants of Irish and Italian descent, to the Chinese and the to the Jews as they were coming over in large numbers in the 19th and 20th century and many of those former immigrants, especially Italians, are now Trump’s biggest…

Keith may be racking up the endorsements, but Perez has much as a 66 member lead among the 477 DNC members. 304 are committed.

Is it terrible for me to suggest that a black, Muslim man might be stretching things too much right now? I’m not sure how this will attract voters right now. Even if the DNC is managed well, I can still imagine all the rumors floating around on breitbart/fox around Ellison’s past

I don’t think he can speak to “working class whites”. He was a vocal supporter of the Nation of Islam, compared 9/11 to the Reichstag fire, has called for reparations for slavery, and was sworn in on a Quaran. If you think that’s going to speak to any of those people, you are nuts. He may be progressive, but his past…

Thanks for making me aware of this guy. This is exactly the kind of person the Dems need to rebuild the party.

I think he can bring people into the party like he did in South Bend. I’m for him or Perez. Both are on the same page as I am.

Wow. That’s so cute. A woman who said young women who support Bernie were just following the boys thinks her endorsement should count for something. Obviously she doesn’t have her finger on the pulse on the future of the democratic party. I’m not someone who thinks Bernie would have won, but I do think that she…

I like Ellison, but the bottom line is we need to pick someone and 100% get behind him or her. I think all of us progressives are good people with good intentions, but we’re so goddamn fractured right now, while the republicans are marching in evil lockstep.

I’m disappointed in this. I really think that Pete Buttigieg is the right person for the job.

Big mistake. DNC chair is a full time job. Ellison already has a full time job (didn’t they learn from the Debbie Wassserman Schultz fiasco?)

It’s been so much fun watching Trump fans on Twitter suddenly turn into Chomsky clones in a desperate attempt to defend Trump’s latest defense of Putin’s murderous rule. Trump’s right, America is eeeevil!!!! Besides, no one can prove Putin’s ever killed anyone!!!1!

I am also worried that Customs and Border Patrol did not stand down when congressional staff went to the airports to ask them to obey the order to do so. I used to work for another federal agency, and CBP had...I dunno, kind of a look to it, a certain leaning... Would like to see an independent thinker in there decide…

Gotta say, though I am of the opinion that the US has started open-mike terms for its presidency, Im not sure how much trump had to do with the success or failure of this mission.

Here are anothe two facts to blow your mind:

If whitewashing = truth, then sure I was whitewashing.

Actually I will respond, how am I a stereotypical racist in any sense? Someone invokes the Atlantic slave trade in the above article, I comment on certain ironies involving the Arab/Islamic involvement in the slave trade while simultaneously voicing my disgust for Trump and his ban. And I’m the racist? What goes…

You realize you come off as an apologist for the Arab slave trade, right? I’m fully aware of the distinctions between the two, and also that you’re erasing the horrors of the Arab slave trade because you’re singularly obsessed with white people. I’m not interested in whitewashing anything, I’m not contesting that the…
