Bernie's bad platform committee choices

His appointees will be DSA leader and black race leader Cornel West, Muslim and black Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), radical environmentalist author Bill McKibben, Arab American Institute head James Zogby, and Native American activist Deborah Parker.

Well, radical party and extra-party and even anti-party activists working in undemocratic venues like party caucuses are responsible for a good fraction of his delegate count, so why wouldn't Bernie think it's just fine to let them write the platform for a party the vast bulk of whose members loathe radicals and their fifty shades of radicalism?
