Can you provide evidence of how Bernie supporters lead to Trump being elected president? You never answered that question.

Meaning no disrespect, but what kind of reform can be expected at the CIA?

Registered Voters Who Stayed Home Probably Cost Clinton The Election
Younger voters.. hint: they weren't moderates.

There are plenty of people who should be in these positions - there is nothing wrong with voicing dissent regarding the choice of cabinet/administration from your President.
Picking non-Whites doesn't mean anything at all. There are experienced and qualified people in every industry - that is the bare-minimum - something beyond that is necessary.
This is so above and beyond insane I'm having trouble conceiving it.
Republicans are the reason Trump was elected. They voted for him. That's it. There's nothing more to interrogate. Claiming that people who didn't vote "cost" Clinton the election - when they either chose not to participate or were barred from participating is absolute lunacy.

That article doesn't say Bernie supporters, and it used Surveymonkey. Also that survey is suggesting black voters stayed home, who we were told were not Bernie supporters in 2016. What are you doing?
Twitter and Youtube bloggers?
Exactly what element of being a Black man in America and being functionally literate would lead you to support a Black man who has spent his entire career undermining African interests in favor US interests to head the intelligence agency that has quite literally subverted the entirety of the African diaspora for over 100 years?
It means that they can bring different perspectives into the room. I rather that to a homogenous Cabinet and Administration.

Younger demographics stayed home. I wonder who that could be but go ahead and play stupid
And @EndDomination it's not lunacy. What is lunacy is to sit home and allow Trump to take office when we were all saying how much of a disaster it would be before it happened.
Not participating? Okay, then don't bytch. People who don't participate give up their voice.

I think the police analogy works well here. It's actually not as impossible as anti-reform people make it out to be. Dropping the police budget by 30% is not outside the realm of the possible. The whole "Oh, this is too difficult and complex, you just don't understand, trust us!" from insiders who don't actually want to effect reform or change is disingenuous. It's about having the will (which they don't) and the courage. You have to have people who actually want to reform the institution because they have a different ideology/belief than the status quo. The CIA does not have to be dirty and fukked up, at least not as dirty and fukked up as it historically has been. You could have a CIA tasked with undermining the nascent fascist governments and movements across the world instead of the neocon mandate the CIA has been operating with for the past 50 years. These are the questions I would hope our elected leaders would ask of Biden's CIA director during their confirmation hearing, but I wager that would be a bridge too far for centrists who are indignant at the very concept of public scrutiny of political elites and leadership.
As a fellow Warren-person, wasn't this the entire point of her campaign? Structural change? Reimagining the entire paradigm of our government and seeing how we can shift its foundations to become more responsive to the needs of the people? But we're immediately being told we can't even critically assess our elected leaders anymore? Critical political journalism is being derisively recast as just bullshyt from twitter/youtube/patreon. That's fukking dangerous.
This isn't about purity. Progressives lost the nomination, so Biden has the right to select whoever he wants. But we're part of the coalition, so we have a right to express our dissent or assent. If Biden and the centrist wing chooses to disregard us, then that's the world we will be living in, and the consequences will be felt. We're not asking for any of these choices to be arrested, we're just asking our fellow citizens to engage in factual analysis of their records and decide if these are the people we want in roles of consequence and power at the highest levels of our government.
Her open hostility to progressive programs, policies, and candidates is a bright red flag.
Biden picking her itself is a bit of a red-flag - not just because he's Joe Biden - but because there is a clear focus on "returning things to normal" as opposed to drastically improving them.
