You have denigrated Sanders' stances a lot more than middle-of-the-road Democratic stands. You should be content that the moderate is leading. |

Perez got 235, Eliison got 200. Immediately, Perez moved to make Ellison Deputy Chair. Everyone is happy now. Too bad no one voted for the fellow from South Bend. |

I am glad that someone less extreme than Keith Ellison won, but for the Democrats to win going forward they need to realize that they can't take blue collar workers for granted and need to get government off of the backs of hardworking citizens. |

He will likely occupy some role in the revamped DNC leadership as an openly Gay, Naval Reservist and millennial checks a lot of boxes. The DNC has become all about checking boxes. |

I never wanted Bernie and said so.I'm glad his side lost in this, but I'm waiting to see if the fur is going to fly. His supporters feel that Hillary cheated him out of the nomination. Many also seem to think that Trump won on Bernie's issues. Now the establishment candidate narrowly beat Bernie's choice for DNC. Do you think we'll now have quiet unity. |

Maybe like JFK had to make his rival, the powerful LBJ, his vice president.No one in the Kennedy camp liked that, but he might not have won without him. |

Bernie supporters will probably end up forming their own party. They'll never be content within an established party and many don't seem to understand that a lot of us don't want to move as far left as they would like us to. So they'll continue to be outvoted and they'll continue to accuse us of rigging the vote so they may as well just go start their own party and see where it goes |

Yes, but let me be Devil's Advocate and give you a counter-argument:"If Ellison had won, Bernie's people would be satisfied and mainstreamers would not promote a schism. Ellison and Bernieites would then be forced to the center." |
