I'm thinking our friends at JPR aren't happy with the choice of Perez...

Imagine the nerve of the DNC not considering the preferences of non-Democrats in their leadership election.

[bravenak]

1. They should still be all aglow over their victory this past November

Wonder why they want control over our party.

[Cha]

2. lol

[mcar]

3. They want to fight Democrats more than Republicans

Seems everything we do is wrong, evil, corrupt.

[shenmue]

7. Yeah

[JNelson6563]

4. Too many can't take their eye off the big shiny very tippy top.

All that matters is the WH and the DNC chair. Anything below that is for silly little people.

Personally I don't think DNC chair is nearly as big a factor in things as all that. What matters is happening in cities, counties and regions RIGHT NOW. Republican legislators are running scared from their constituents. We, the little people, are taking the lead on this and we are making big progress in building a coalition of resistance.

I say let them focus the monkey shit flinging bullshit over there at that far off, unimportant target. It will keep the unproductive out from underfoot in the places where we are getting the real work down. That would be the trenches. Not that they've any interest in going there.

On edit: My comments apply to any keyboard commando who thinks political activism is criticism of those trying to make progress, making sure to never risk attempting an actual effort themselves. Don't care about this or that forum, there's such folks everywhere. It is always my hope though that something inspires them to jump in and at least try someday. I can't help it.

25. Yes, we just won a special election in DE yesterday. That's what counts. n/t

32. The DNC Chair CAN be a big deal. Howard proved that

If he works his ass off, it can be a decidedly big deal. Howard made it a big deal precisely because he didn't stop at the congressional level. It is because he didn't neglect the towns and wards that he turned Congress around in 2006. It drained him, and Judy almost felt like a widow during that time, but Howard proved that if a DNC chair WANTS to be effective, he or she can. Even today, without any official party portfolio, Howard is still running around the country (and the world) supporting Democratic candidates and causes. His brother, Jim, is doing the same thing on the scale he can with DFA. Howard has the name recognition, so he is the one invited onto the talk shows, but sit down with Jim, and he can discuss just about any one of the 435 Congressional districts of the top of his head without notes.

Howard stepped down in 2009 because the party head (at least in practice) when it has the White House, is the President, not the party chair. He didn't want to butt heads with Obama on policy disagreements, so he stepped down. Now, we're back to 2001--albeit hopefully older and wiser.

56. If we think Russian interference and trickery ended with the election, think again.

I'm not saying either Bernie or Keith Ellison, whom I like are Russian tools, but I am convinced there is manipulation within their base to keep the animosity between the Democratic Party and the Bernie supporters at a heightened level. It's in the Russian's best interests to keep the Dem party fractured and fighting among themselves.

5. FFS - One ex-DUer seems to think Democrats have a Jewish problem..

15. The only thing that happened to Keith is he is muslim and the jewish contingent

of the party could not have any part of the muslim being “their” party leader.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Racism has many, many forms, indeed…

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. See Post Six.

Someone said that is an Alt Right, an MRA and MAGA site. I don't know. Haven't seen it in months.

[progree]

20. "still glad Hillary lost", February 19, JPR. 77 Recs

It looks like it might be all three.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Deplorable.

[Cha]

15. Glad he's not here crapping like that.

[BainsBane]

18. He's been posting anti-Semitic Shite for a long time

Stuff right out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

What gets in my craw about that site and the DNC chair race is that none of them voted Democrat. The purpose of the site is to oppose the Democratic nominee. So why the fuck do they think they should have a say in the chair race? They defend Trump 24/7. The GOP is their party. Let them worry about the RNC chair.

[grossproffit]

19. Purveyor is a scumbag.

[Squinch]

23. LOL! I followed a link here over there and found this internal food fight:

http://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/a-different-take-on-the-banning-the-press-story/

Seems like each JPR poster thinks that all the OTHER JPR posters are idiots.

[seaglass]

27. She voted for Trump. She has been defending Trump all over the site.

JPR is imploding. I think the only ones left are the dumb ones.

[Squinch]

33. Yes. Sad to see with some of them. And they seem to hate each other.

[Cha]

28. Looks like they're

gnawing on each other!

[Squinch]

34. All they can agree on is Trump!

[Cha]

37. They like trump?

[Squinch]

38. Apparently! Because, you know, her emails.

[Cha]

41. Yeah, I got her emails right here..

And. here's their boy..

[Squinch]

42. I love the first one. I hadn't seen the second one, and boy, isn't that who he is in a nutshell?

"He is a sickness that needs to be cured."

Wow.

[Cha]

45. Mind boggling that that's who they revere because

emails.

You definitely cannot make this shit up.

It's too..

[mcar]

54. Every time I read one of those threads, brain cells ooze from my ears

That is so twisted stuff. I loved the sub-thread where a poster was saying posting should be limited and only quality posts allowed.

[Squinch]

59. And the accusations that a poster is hogging.... something by posting so much.

[mcar]

60. There's limited space on the intertubes, doncha know?

[oberliner]

39. Ellison supporters included many Jewish members of the DNC

That statement from that poster says a lot about the poster. It is a blatant lie with a specific purpose.

[bunnies]

55. Have you read Alan Dershowitz lately?

http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/national-party-news/321040-i-will-leave-the-democrats-if-keith-ellison-is-elected

Maybe that's what's being referenced?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Someone said that is an MRA and MAGA site. I don't know. Haven't seen it in months.

[stevenleser]

11. A lot of denigration of "SJW" types at JPR. Only other place I see that is reich-wing sites. nt

[Lotusflower70]

9. Lots of anger

At the DNC and the election results. I understand it but if you stay stuck in it, you don't move forward. Who knows, maybe the 3rd party may end up having more of a voice. Everyone has to follow their own path.

[hrmjustin]

10. Glad they are not here spewing that.

[Cha]

12. ..

[hrmjustin]

13. .

[Cha]

14. *******

[NotThisTime]

16. On the other hand, it seems Dems or people who align with them are more likely to stay home

And look where that got us, nobody wins. This is why R's win, they show up even when their candidate should have been born prior to the civil war era.

[Squinch]

22. What does this have to do with the OP?

[ismnotwasm]

17. Thats one group made up of very strange and disturbed individuals

More than one brags about voting for Trump. Logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead.

They creep me right the fuck out. Repulsive.

[qdouble]

24. That site is anti-democratic party. They would have hated whoever won.

[get the red out]

26. Those folks are way out

In la-la land. I have a FB friend who is of this mindset, and some of her posts are as unreal as conservatives.

[Renew Deal]

30. Good to know what the Trump supporters on a Russian propaganda site think

[Gothmog]

50. Russia is evidently unhappy with Perez also

Who is surprised by this

[mitch96]

58. I hope they leak the video

Then again Pence would be in .... like flynn....

sorry I could not help my self..
m

[Jamaal510]

62. If Russia is unhappy with him,

then that makes me even happier.

[JI7]

31. i always thought many of them were right wing trolls when they were here

[DFW]

35. I haven't looked, but

What the JPR community thinks about Tom Perez holds less interest for me than what (or whom) Kim Jong-Un had for breakfast last Wednesday.

[BeyondGeography]

36. The sane people in that first thread stick out like sore thumbs

That's a bad neighborhood. I wish them continued good health.

[Mike Nelson]

40. I was wondering if we got...

...the correct leader. Now, I'm sure we did! It they are upset, we should be in ecstasy... the Perez/Ellison team is the future - and all the others running are great, too!

[seaglass]

43. How could it not be great? Ellison is included and he didn't have to give up his seat! n/t

[PJMcK]

44. They aren't our friends and I don't care if they're happy

When a few loud-mouthed members of DU left to start JPR, I'm certain that I wasn't alone in seeing them leave this site.

[NCTraveler]

46. People like that probably did hold Ellison back.

Really a sick group of individuals. First link is to an op by their resident racist. More like the leader of their white nationalist movement.

[m-lekktor]

47. People all over the internets aren't happy, not just JPR.

Like people keep saying since I have been here, DU isn't the real world!

[CentralMass]

48. I saw a Perez or Ellison poll here a few days back and Ellison was leading by a wide margin.

[Cha]

57. Obviously it was off.

[CentralMass]

61. Off ?

[Gothmog]

49. I saw these threads also

These threads make me smile

[stonecutter357]

51. jpr Russia's troll army hit America.

[JHB]

52. Who cares what the Headless Chicken Radicals think?

[MineralMan]

53. Visiting that website is very informative.

DU is a much better place because that website exists, I think. It's an excellent repository for some former DUers. I hope they're having tons of fun there.
