I mean , what are they really going to do ? Legislatively , they ' ve got very little power if the GOP opts for the nuclear option , so they ' ll just have to try to fight for their policies regardless . Try to highlight when the GOP is doing something that isn ' t good for most Americans . Try to force some concessions out of the GOP to get the things they really want . Moving forward , in terms of electoral strategy and policy of the party , they ' ve got a decent start . Heard a podcast with Ellison talking about his vision of the future of the party . He ' s got a good head on his shoulders . I would also personally feel good about Tom Perez if he somehow winds up leading the DNC . They both have their pros and cons . Personally , I ' m not a HUGE fan of the Bernie wing of the party ' s reductionist thinking wherein every problem is due to economic status . I tend to think life is more nuanced than that , and we owe it to society to have a discussion about other aspects of life . People writ large seem burnt out on that type of nuanced conversation re things like race and gender and prefer the economic focused discussion . I ' m fine with the party adopting that line if it leads to electoral success .
