and I have to say it makes me uncomfortable. Would you be amenable to changing it? Thanks in advance.

and I don't care for his rhetoric, much less the vile things he has said about Hillary. I would like the conversation to stay going!

Depends on the jury you draw.

Robert Reich would have been a much better choice. We do have Elijah Cummings who will chair the committee, he has performed like the Master he is. After Sanders was warned about taking West into NC it would seem a lesson would have been learned. We want progress for the US, not a revolutionary.

So, Cornel West is going to create the Democratic Platform?

Nice right?! He might as well have slapped President Obama in the face! What an insult to the entire Democratic party.

extended the olive branch.
Sanders will continue to poke them in the eye with it.

They already allowed him to run as a Democrat and use their infrastructure
He then sues them after his staffer broke into the DNCs system

He accuses them of rigging the system against him.

What's not to love about this guy?

He continues the power grab.
It will not stop. His supporters on here continue to call these concessions "crumbs"

The DNC needs to draw the line now.

The Sanders supporters are applauding it heartily, of course.

their face in it.

Never heard of anyone more tone-deaf than sanders.

Thank you for this, Walk away

Anyone who takes the time to really read some of the things that West says will find that much of it is just incomprehensible gibberish. He likes to sprinkle his sentences with enough shock words to gain some attention, but even that rarely works. It should be noticed that West hasn't himself run for any office since he ran for class president in high school. I think he describes himself as a non-Marxist Socialist, a label which is bound to keep anyone from ever trying to pin him down on anything. He can be entertaining and, on that level, he may have some valuable insights into Trump's philosophy.

I'm having difficulty coming up with someone prominent on the left who would have been less appropriate.

now it doesn't seem so far fetched. Do most of Bernie's supporters have any idea what a crackpot they have been voting for???

Tone-deaf and off the rails.

It just shows how unfit Sanders is to be President.

I don't think West is a Democrat. Does anyone know?

An official one, even: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Socialists_of_America

He's also pandering to his "independent" supporters

If anyone still needed proof that the guy was never really a Democrat, I think this pretty much finishes that off.

manifested in an intentionally hateful and disgusting decision.

When I read this article and then the one where West called Barrack a war criminal I was shocked; I have since recovered and now I am spitting mad!!!

The best measure of a man is the people with whom he chooses to associate. Sanders need go back to Vermont and never seen or heard form again, now.

but I hear Al Giordano is going to challenge him

to call the first Black POTUS "Niggerized"!

I was blocked from DU for over a month for calling Bernie a tired old man. Go figure!

Ban, ban, ban!

and of course it was racial, especially since he was referring to our President who is an African American with such usage

I blame the administrators because had I written some bullshit like this, I'd be banned from DU forever.

Note: I am a black woman.

primary candidate to run against Obama.

Not surprising since he endorsed Nader in 2000,he's got no business being part of the convention,none at all.

That's not saying much, I know....

But Dr. West has a few too many skeletons in his OWN closet to be talking like he's talking.

I'll leave it there.

That Senator Sanders has been quietly attempting to garner the votes of Obama haters while keeping enough actual Democrats on board.
It's why he wrote a cover blurb for "Buyer's Remorse"
It's why he embraced Dr West.

He wants a slice of Trump's crowd.

Today, it seems much more likely to be true than not.

The rhetoric is even the same.

The problem is that Obama is very popular with Democrats. He can't have it both ways, but I'm not sure he understands that. I'm certain that his supporters don't.

to carry off his master plan.

sanders tries to have it both ways.. he's dissing President Obama on the campaign trail but then when Spike Lee interviewed him he said he and Obama were "friends" .. I did a report on it back then.

LOL@BS.. Now he's tellling SL that he has a "friendly relationship with PBO"..

I am guessing that Obama feels the same about Trump and Bernie. Two cartoonish characters and their whacky plans to destroy the planet!

Obama is so popular. I know it berns his ****

How could anyone who cares about our party and our President. How disrepectful.

It's amazing the lengths that Sanders fans will go to defend him.

Now have to stand by and watch while Cornel West chops at the party platform with his crazy axe?
