Former Labor Sec. Hilda Solis Endorses Keith Ellison

"I know Keith is a coalition-builder, he's traveled around the country, he can raise money. He has the stamina, and I know he can energize our party the way we need to."

1. Folks are waking up the reality of losing by a landslide

Remember the meme "Republicans can't win in a General Election"

Guess they are recalculating towards reality now

[NobodyHere]

2. If Keith Ellison gets the DNC chair

Then I'm leaving the party

[think]

3. Why is that now?

[NobodyHere]

4. Because of his past membership in a hate group

5. Should Robert Byrd have been banned from the party?

Kind of hard to find a more hateful group than the Klan.

I like to believe that people can change. And Ellison is an effective leader who wont take shit off of Trump or the wingnuts of the GOP.

[NobodyHere]

6. I never said anything about banning.

And I wouldn't want a former KKK member to lead the party.

I like to think that people can change too. But I wouldn't want someone who was in a hate group to lead the party. I certainly won't follow.

[Yurovsky]

7. I can respect that...

But I still think he's the best person available. I would venture to guess he will be very conscious of the fence mending required with Jewish Democrats if he does take the helm.

8. if you want to talk hate group

talk about people like Alan Dersowitz that advocated torture.

[NobodyHere]

12. I wouldn't want Dersowitz head of the party either

[killbotfactory]

10. He wasn't a member of the nation of Islam. Nt

[NobodyHere]

11. He supported and defended them

[white_wolf]

9. I'm sure the party will manage just fine.
