In reply to the discussion: Sanders, Perez unity tour is off to a bumpy start [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,412 posts)20. What more do you think that they want?
The DNC is not going to install Bernie as head of the DNC, nor are they going to anoint Bernie the next Presidential candidate. Nor are they go to adopt 100% of Bernie's agenda in the platform (which is already Bernie-heavy). And not all Democratic candidates running in every single state or every single race are going to be Bernie clones. So, what exactly does the Democratic Party/DNC need to do to make young Democrats/Bernie supporters happy/enthusiastic enough to vote for Democratic candidates next year and the year after that and so on............? There's only so much they can pander to the Bernie crowd before we might as well just call it the "Bernie Party".

He had to completely restaff the DNC. Maybe you consider that before speaking about diappointment.

Excuse me? Perez can't magically make things happen until there's staff in place at the DNC.

Let's be careful here, if a handful of people are jerks it can be used to promote negative memes
