It was another slap in the face by the Democrat establishment to Bernie Sander's supporters and the progressive wing.

Democrat's selection of Perez who was part of the illegal election tampering of denying Bernie winning in new Hampshire will surely eliminate a large number of voters who will leave for the Green party.

. Democrats Sure know how to fracture a party to guarantee losses. They have cornered the market on how to alienate voters.

I'm not interested in simply winning no matter what. Either the people with the ideas I support run and then be honest about it or it can all fall apart for all I care.

Thomas Perez is an extreme left-wing ideologue in his own right. He made his reputation as the head of the DOJ civil rights division under Eric Holder. Anyone who believes that this guy is any kind of politically agnostic Hillary-bot "moderate" Democrat is in for a big surprise. Perez is a leftist radical who is obsessed with identity politics and political correctness in no uncertain terms. His record on these issues is how he earned his chops.

It was lose lose. Perez clearly sucks but Ellison is too extreme on the other end. The lack of good candidates on the Democratic side is astounding

Democrats are not going to win if all they have is, "We're not Trump". Ok, fine, articulate HOW you're not Trump? And don't give me the identity politics BS, that's all I ask of the Democratic Party.

What a patriot!

Not just the corporate lobbyist money - the Jewish money. The DNC's largest Jewish donor said "no mas" if Ellison was elected. Debbie was there to keep the Jewish money flowing.

Follow the Money and you can't go wrong with figuring these folks out.
