[Peace] Urge Champaign County Dems to back Keith Ellison for DNC

[C. G. Estabrook]

The idea that the three "serious candidates" to lead [sic] the DNC are “two corporate lobbyists” and a person "whose primary mission is make self-described liberals and leftists comfortable supporting imperial wars” is an indication of the terminal lack of political seriousness in the Democratic party - so painfully on display in the recent election. Écrasez l’infâme.

Ellison’s delicts have been clear all along, as David Swanson points out: <http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/11/17/the-skeletons-in-keith-ellisons-display-case/ <http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/11/17/the-skeletons-in-keith-ellisons-display-case/>>.

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.
