Democratic National Committee in an uproar again

This article reports that Sanders has reopened the dispute from the Dem primary when Sanders said in response to Biden's support of Perez for DNC chair that it's time to move beyond the status quo. So now the establishment status quo Dems in the DNC are freaking out, saying Sanders isn't even a member of the Party so should shut up. They say the Party now needs unity instead of division. What they mean is unity of the status quo without the Sanders progressive wing.

So no, the Party needs to dump the status quo Dems, not unite with them. They are the reason the Dem Party has lost badly in the past several elections. We need the Sanders and Warren Dems to take over the Party and return it to its roots, being of, by and for the people, not the corporations and Wall Street. Some of the status quo whiners argue that Perez is a good progressive, and yet Perez has never joined the Congressional Progressive Caucus where the true progressives voice the courage of their convictions. You can bet that if the establishement Dems back him he is in their, and Wall Street's, pocket.
