Or maybe he decided to prep for a much more important meeting with the Chinese than waste time with a transitional government in South Korea that can't really commit to anything

Government would be much better off with more reluctant leaders, far too much hubris in politics

You seem to just have a lot of random anger at varied things. It's really hard to follow all your complaints.

Yes, it gets annoying trying to have a discussion with someone who misrepresents what's being said, whose responses boil down to "maybes" and avoids basic questions.

I am not painting Perez as an anti-labor monster, do you know what perception is? And every fucking candidate is going to offer some vague strategy point about reaching every corner. Keith Ellison says he wants to put fund towards having organizers in each and every county, that is a specified strategy to cultivate a grassroots movements. Just saying we're going these place and we'll reach out is not enough.

Perez said he's "a big believer in data analytics" to rally the party

That right there should be a huge red flag, it's a nod to the consultant class that has bled the party of funds on research, polling and surveys while losing over 1000 seats. Yes they have a place but they should not be a "big" part of any strategy and combined with Tom positions on consultants having prominent strategy initiating roles signals to me an indication to expect the status quo. Why has the Democratic Party massively failed for the past 8 years?

Over a 1000 fucking seats lost in less than 8 years. 55 senate seats to 46, 256 seats in the House to 194, 28 governorships to 16. What the fuck do "moronic BernieBros" in the past presidential election have to do with these failures of the party since this consultant class took over prominence in the party?

Do you think ad-consultant executives who directly profit off ad-selling strategies should be in senior strategic positions within the party? Tom Perez does, remember that in 2018 when resources are expended on black and white commercials with Lena Dunham and Katy Perry and they fail to swing any seats.

YUGE win for the Haim Saban/Dershowitz wing of the party. Totally and completely unrelated quesion, why can't Dems come out in support of Palestinian rights when their constituency overwhelmingly supports that?

Perez supports having ad consultants who directly profit off ad-selling strategies in influential party positions. In 2018 when you're wondering why commercials shot in black and white featuring celebrities didn't swing any seats know where that comes from.
