That’s fun, but it doesn’t balance the ticket. A liberal from Massachusetts being joined by a liberal from Minnesota is just bad planning, and any campaign manager who would suggest it should be fired on the spot. And probably spit on.

The full list. No Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man...

And she will lose. She is THE BEST and i love her, but she is divisive and she will lose.

This is great. Now I can feel secure my future children will be force-fed Creationism, even though I’m a Jew.

Oh, she’d be brilliant. She played crazy before when she was Annie Wilkes; she could do crazy again.

okay, now we NEED Rosie to play Bannon...

I’m not sure someone with the grasp of the nature of rates and percentages, the difference between enrollment and completion and sub-group versus full population proportion that your comment displays should really be trusted to report on social science research.

I’m not downplaying racism. I very clearly acknowledge racism as a significant barrier. What I’m asking for is realistic solutions. Reparations aren’t realistic. Hell we can’t even get free internet to kids whose parents can’t afford it. I’m not going to sit around waiting for a reparation check from Donald Trump.

Sorry, it seemed to me the entire article was questioning the value of education, including the title. The simplest way to close the wealth gap (simplest, not necessarily best) is to send a higher percentage of minorities to college than their white counterparts. If 50% of minorities get a college education and only…

Well there’s something misleading about using wealth as a measure to compare the importance of education. Education is about income. Wealth is the accumulation of income over time.

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…

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.

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?)
