2016 Postmortem

I hate to break it to you but your opinion as to the feelings of the Jewish community concerning the ADL is not a fact in the real world. I am a member of the Jewish community and I also know who the Jewish community views the ADL and Sanders.

I understand that Sanders is upset that he lost the Jewish vote and so therefore it is okay to push a DNC chair candidate who will alienate Jewish Democratic voters. I disagree with Sanders.

I also note that Sanders did not do everything to help Clinton win. Remember that I was a delegate to the national convention and I saw how little effort Sanders put into to control his followers at the national convention. The fact that Sanders delayed his endorsement of Hillary Clinton until the week before the convention and even then threathened floor fights on a host of issues were not steps designed to help the party. Sanders really did not care about the party and was running for media coverage which he obtained. The fact that Sanders had more than twice the appearances on the Sunday talk shows compared to the next person is proof of what Sanders was after. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/sanders-top-list-for-most-appearances-on-2016-sunday-shows-846175811977 Sanders ran for media coverage and got it. To get such coverage, Sanders attacked the Democratic party and helped trump get elected

As for losing future elections, the so-called Sanders revolution was a total bust. Sanders did not generate the millions and millions of new voters that Sanders needed to make this revolution real. Contrary to your claim that we will lose all future elections, please remember that the intervention of the FBI/Comeny and the Russians played a major role in this cycle and that Hillary Clinton still had more than 2.8 more popular votes compared to Trump.

Finally, Tom Perez is just as progressive as Ellison and does not have the baggage.
