I've never identified with any party, but caucused with the Democrats for Bernie because it was the first time I heard someone speaking publicly about the core issues that underpin many of the problems we face today. But the Democratic Party? No. Not for me. However, that move by Perez - naming Ellison his deputy chair - is ... refreshing. And shows some strength of character and willingness to share "winning". That's an important step in the right direction. I still ain't no Democrat, but if these two work together to truly modernize the party and build something more transparent, representative of the left, with a solid foundation in science and good monetary policy... they might convince me to give them a second look.
