DNC chairman aims for diversity with delegate nominations

[lapucelle]

91. Anyone who is not happy with the "compromises"

should do whatever it takes to make their disappointment known to DNC leadership, including lobbying Rep. Ellison who has an excellent opportunity to put teeth in any protest over putative compromise by publicly turning down his nomination to become a new member of the powerful Executive Committee of the DNC.

Similarly, those who were not reappointed to committees, but who were 2016 superdelegates and will retain that status for the 2020 election (like James Zogby who was deeply troubled by the deeply troubling "optics" ) might consider resigning their positions of privilege so that those in favor of all that is good will know exactly how deeply troubling Perez's troubling reshuffle truly is.

All of us who are in favor of "what is right and staying true to our Democratic values" should revisit the Democratic 2016 platform to remind ourselves of what might have been, the dangers of being truculently doctrinaire, what we truly stand for, and finally, to encourage those who have never bothered to read the document to educate themselves on the values that Democrats across the spectrum really espouse.
