          thanks. You're really hurting his case, blindly spouting propaganda. He's great. That doesn't make him great for DNC.

          Even if true, so what? Not a coronation. We have 2 good progressive options. Neither side should be tearing down the other.

          No, it's not. Only if your familiarity with party dynamics & Ellison/Perez's records starts and ends with Bernie v. Hillary.
