(26 posts)My argument has been the same since the beginning. Go back an read it.
It's my opinion that Bernie is entitle to an opinion, even if he's not a member of the party.
First, the DNC chair does not "control" the party. Else it wouldn't be a "democratic" party, now would it?
Second, saying that Bernie would like to decide who holds the DNC chair job is not the same thing as Bernie deciding to control the party.
Third, even controlling the direction of the party is not the same thing as controlling the party. The direction that the party moves in (the goals) are not the same thing as managing the day-to-day administration of the party.
I admire your humility. You may not want to decide who the DNC chair is or control the direction of the party, but I have a hunch that you are in the minority on that level of humility. Just a hunch.
