In reply to the discussion: Seizing Chance, Sanders Makes Bold Progressive Picks to Shape DNC Platform [View all]brush
(53,971 posts)80. They always work out a way for the runner-up candidate to get a say on the platform committee
That part is not unprecedented news.
I do like four of Sanders' picks. The West selection is questionable, seems to be a direct swipe at the President.
Seems nothing was learned from all the lost votes in the primaries because of West being a surrogate.
I like also that Clinton picked three women and a labor advocate for her slots on the committee.

OP
These bold Sanders people won't be taking 'no' for an answer. Not after they've gotten this far.

Bernie picked some amazing talented informed people. Who wouldn't want Bill McKibben or any

Cornell West fights for the poor and the unrepresented. I'm glad he's there.
