In reply to the discussion: I have realized I don't give a shit if Ellison or Perez wins the DNC chair job [View all]Wounded Bear
(58,670 posts)9. IMHO the fight over the DNC chair is overstated bigly...
seems more like the media trying to find something exciting and controversial. It sounds like ALL of the frontrunners are interested in getting back to local grunt work to expand the party base and back basic progressive values. That's what matters.
Oh, and I agree about it being a full-time job. It needs to be, especially now.
I don't join into any threads on this that turn into cat fights.

I will support whoever the chair is and hope they're nowhere near as disastrous as DWS.

This is turning out to be a fight between state level parties and big money consultants.
