Even after losing a 'sure to win' election by screwing over Sanders supporters, the Dimocrats still have not learned their lesson and they have their cronies proposing only ONE NAME for members to vote for!
How ironic that the DEMOCRATIC Party is so allergic to democratic processes.
The Democratic Party is run by some seriously stupid people.
Firefighters union chief calls AFL-CIO ballot for DNC chair 'totalitarian'
A top union leader lashed out at AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka for sending out an endorsement ballot for chair of the Democratic National Committee that listed the name of only one candidate.
"A single name on the ballot more resembles an attempt at a coronation in a totalitarian regime rather than an election within the House of Labor," Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, wrote in an email to Trumka sent late Wednesday.
The ballot, sent Wednesday to members of the AFL-CIO's Executive Committee, provided three options: to endorse Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.); to abstain; or to "make no endorsement at this time." Omitted were South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison; New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley; and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, all declared candidates.
Also absent were two prospective candidates reportedly favored by the White House: Labor Secretary Tom Perez and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
