DeRay McKesson of Black Lives Matter said of his support for Hillary Clinton in the election

[La Lioness Priyanka]

"I am not willing to sacrifice real people's lives for this mythical ideological purity."

If you can't be a part of a diverse coalition to constructively oppose the current administration under the most progressive leadership the DNC has ever seen then you might consider whether you're doing more harm than good.

If at this point you are nitpicking how the election for DNC chair could be 'fairer', you might consider whether you're doing more harm than good.

If at this point you are picking on vulnerable Democrats in red districts instead of Republicans in purple districts, you might consider whether you're doing more harm than good.

1. i think some want democrats to lose

Especially after seeing the same shit over and over again and the refusal to see the bigotry of trump supporters.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. some also want to shine brighter than they have had the chance to

when obama was in office

[nini]

13. I suspect plenty of them are alt-right trolls

They are acting like pure liberal lefties and keeping chaos going.

and I do NOT mean this applies to all Bernie supporters so don't waste your time accusing me of that.

4. So true. Simpleton Susan Sarandon types refuse to acknowledge reality. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. she's not simple, she's just REALLY FUCKING BLIND to her privilege and those she knows

6. Deray is so my kind of leader! Oh and look @ his tweet to Tom Perez..

7. i too love Deray. nt

8. DeRay sounds...GASP!...pragmatic. I remember when that was a good thing. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. we all need to sacrifice ourselves at the altar of college sophomore idealistic purity

[the_sly_pig]

10. I'm interested in seeing what the DNC does...

Not what it says. I'm sure 2018 will reveal how effective Mr. Perez has been. I'm also not interested in moving the party further to the right.

Fix the Gerrymandering issue and get a special prosecutor with subpoena power appointed and I'll be satisfied until the next election.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. Well it's a good thing then that Perez has been involved

In fighting against voter suppression for years

[druidity33]

20. Agreed. Good post. nt.

14. More harm than good for us perhaps. But to them? Doubt it.

15. "you are picking on vulnerable Democrats in red districts instead of Republicans in purple districts

^^^^^ THIS^^^^^^

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. so much more anger at Manchin, than at Susan Collins

why??

[SunSeeker]

17. Good question.

Why the wasted energy spent trying to primary DWS instead of helping Applegate beat Issa?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. indeed
