as Board chair and that Cohen is the new Chair?

If so, can you tell us, to quote Wolf, "What's going on here? What's going on?"

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.

But Bernie announced that Larry Cohen would head up the board.

I see nothing on the website about the board of directors. I think that needs to be added. I'll need to see if there's some contact info to request this be added.

Edit: I think I read this wrong. It does not say Jane quit. H/t to Eagles92 below

Prior to the current turmoil among staff members, Sanders’ wife Jane was approached by Pennington, who allegedly complained about Weaver’s vision “that included more traditional — not just grassroots — fundraising.” According to Claire Sandberg, the digital organizing director for the Sanders campaign and the former organizing director of Our Revolution, “Jeff [Weaver] would like to take big money from rich people including billionaires and spend it on ads.” But to Pennington and folks within the organization like Sandberg, “[t]hat’s the opposite of what this campaign and this movement are supposed to be about.” After failing to move Jane Sanders, Pennington and many others felt “that we had no choice but to quit,” Sandberg explained.

This says Claire Sandberg quit, but doesn't say anything about Jane.

I think I'm reading it differently than you. Not sure which reading is correct, but my take is that Pennington et al tried to convince Jane that Weaver was a bad choice, and Jane didn't budge, so they quit.

So if Jane stays involved, it's pretty much a Sanders endorsement of Weaver's decisions. I'm a bit perplexed, but I'm not the sharpest pencil in the C99 box so... Smile

I do wonder if Jane will stay involved. I hope not. She strikes me as someone at least as astute as Bernie, so she should know how it will look if she remains.

So just what will their "support" consist of? I suspect the answer is simply, money. Because, after all, what difference have a bunch of dedicated, passionate people working together ever accomplished? Sad

Sorry, Sanders, but you've dropped the ball. I think those people disappointed by this old-school approach are not going to just submit. Nor will they fade away. I'm hopeful that we'll find a way to keep the truly grassroots progressive effort moving forward.

he gave it up because he's either not playing their fucking game or he's been chucked off the team.

So am I. I'd suggest working for the Greens, but YMMV on that Smile
