I couldn’t disagree with Robert Naiman more on this topic.
<div class="">Glen Ford is more than just a nice man, he is very prescient, and right on target here as well as most things. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Ellison, maybe nice, and he fits the bill as a token for what the DNC needs or wants to spiff up their image. He’s Black, a Muslim, and articulate, okay he’s not a woman, but they tried that one recently….... However, he supports war, and will
offer the continuity that the Democratic Party wants in respect to US foreign policy, and hegemony, just in case the Republicans under Trump don’t comply. Maybe McCain is an extreme example, in so far as rhetoric is concerned, but hey the Democrats have always
used words of peace, and McCain is just the “bad” cop to Ellison’s (good) cop. It’s all about appearances. </div>

<div class="">Anyone who thinks that there's not a dime's worth of difference between Ellison and McCain on war and peace is not a serious person. It's a free country. People can say whatever they want. You can be a Truther, a Birther, an anti-vaxxer. But,
given that people have other things to do with their lives, people who are serious shouldn't waste time with such things. And, of course, people who support the Green Party are not meaningful authority on the affairs of progressive Democrats. </div>
