Ran across this account of the debate for chair of the DNC, which should have the following warning:
This Debate May Have Adverse Effects To Your Mental Health
If the actual debate was anything as described, then the Democratic Party is going nowhere. Perez and Ellison are about as stale and careful as could be. And they are supposed to enthuse the Party and, more importantly, Democratic and other voters enough to win votes? They have twice eaten pablum coming out of their mouths. The only difference between them might be the brand of pablum, but in either case it’s well past its expiration date. Which is why it’s taking the DNC so long to decide on a chair — they have to choose between moldy bread and spoiled milk.
Buttigieg seems to be the only one with a clear eye and life to him. But the DNC denizens are unlikely to recognize a winner outside their bubble. If we have to depend on the DNC to help win in 2018 and beyond, we’re fucked. It’s nothing but a factory that keeps turning out the same Republican squeak toy no matter what consumers want or need.
