I don't have any feelings about Debbie Wasserman Schultz either way !!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

But if giving her head on a proverbial platter to her detractors satiates them I am all for it.

As Carl Bernstein says this is the "Gettysburg of elections". I know which side i am on.

[hrmjustin]

1. At this point I think she should just step aside and resign.

[RonniePudding]

2. If for no other reason than to stop the whining

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. "If for no other reason than to effect some small measure of damage control."

There. I fixed it for you.

[RonniePudding]

19. Whatever stops the whining I'm cool with

[sufrommich]

22. It won't stop the whining. They want Clinton's head on a platter,

even if it means a Trump presidency. Those who are coyly claiming "concern" here are outright stating this on the PUMA forum they've started.

[DawgHouse]

26. I agree

[runaway hero]

38. PUMA

Takes me way back lol

I can't believe it's been 8 years...

[BlueMTexpat]

39. Bingo! eom

[MoonRiver]

4. Agree

[Justice]

9. But not today.

[Duckhunter935]

3. I do

She has to go

[cherokeeprogressive]

5. Article V, Section IV of the Party's Charter tells me all I need to know about what to feel.

She needs to be gone.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. For the sake of the party she has to go.

I know it sounds trite but if I had to tell her I would tell her it's business, nothing personal

[yurbud]

15. once she loses her seat to Tim Canova, she will land on her feet as a lobbyist

making a lot more money

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. My uncle lived in Century Village, right smack dab in the middle of her district.

They might as well have created that district for her. Lots of older Jewish voters and Hispanics and African Americans. Clinton won it with 70% of the vote.

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. Damage control. That's what I see it as.

Lots of people buried in shallow graves outside Las Vegas, NYC, and in New Jersey after being told "it's nothing personal, just business" LOL.

[aikoaiko]

6. Unfortunately Obama said he has her back and HRC gave a public big thank you yesterday.

He let go of Vann Jones and others for a lot less.

I expect more of Obama, while the big thank you to DWS was what I expected from HRC, DWS's finished role in the convention is positive and surprising.

[yurbud]

16. Van Jones should run for something.

[aikoaiko]

21. He's really accomplished, but he has been the best pundit on CNN throughout the primaries.

Yes, I like to see him run for office.

What is his home state or where he is living now I wonder?

34. He let go of Van Jones<<< that set a bad tone for asshat right wingers to push on Pres. Obama

I was furious, I ADORE Van Jones. He is a brilliant thinker and a lion for PoC. FUCKing Republican ratscum and conservamedia shite pushed him out.

GRRR. Getting mad now all over again.

so sorry for cursing, it is usually not my style

[PatSeg]

10. I didn't have a clear

preference during the primaries and I am satisfied with Hillary as the nominee, but I do have feelings about Wasserman Schultz and the unprofessional and incompetent way she has run the DNC. The whole six debates on odd nights was a big issue for me and it has been downhill from there.

She needs to apologize and resign.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. I am in favor of disposing of anything that gets away in the stop of stopping Trump.

I am making a utilitarian calculus. I don't even need to examine her motives.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. I have no problem in seeing her go.

If Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt could whitewash the Katyn Forest Massacre and ignore Soviet war crimes to protect Josef Stalin because defeating Hitler was paramount I can't stand on ceremonial niceties in this election.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. To me Trump is Hitler.

To me Trump is Hitler. If folks were more serious about stopping him sooner six million of my fellow co-religionists wouldn't have been terminated and four continents would not have been thrown into war.


If FDR and Churchill in their quest to defeat Hitler could ignore the Russians killing 22,000 Polish officers in the Katyn Forest and the raping and pillaging by their soldiers in the areas they occupied I can ignore hardball politics.

DWS should go for the greater good. Period.

First Trump came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Muslim.

Then Trump came for the Mexicans, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Mexican.

Then Trump came for the protesters, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a protester.

Then Trump came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Stopping Trumpism, i.e. incipient fascism is a moral imperative. "That you evidently fail to comprehend the all-important and overarching point of this issue is simply astounding to me."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. Reminds me of when Christine O'Donnell

Reminds me of when Tea Party heroine, Christine O'Donnell, told Eddy Izzard on Politically Incorrect that if she was hiding Jews from the NAZIS and they asked they where they were she would tell them because she couldn't tell a lie:

Christine O'Donnell on the Holocaust
O'DONNELL: "You always have to talk about the truth... I tell the truth... The lie, whether it be a lie or an exaggeration, is disrespect to whoever you're exaggerating or lying to because it's not respecting reality."
EDDIE IZZARD: "What if someone comes to you in the middle of the second World War and says, 'Do you have any Jewish people in your house?,' and you do have them. That would be a lie. That would be disrespectful to Hitler."
O'DONNELL: "I believe if I were in that situation, God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously."
- Politically Incorrect, 1998

Sounds like a misplaced sense of morality.

In any case there is a contingent that purposely discounts the threat Donald Trump presents. Maybe it is to assuage their conscience because they aren't doing enough to defeat him or maybe they don't care all that much for the targets of his wrath either. The latter is also akin to what happened in Hitler's Germany.




P.S. Vladimir Putin wants Trump to win so he had his minions leak e-mails that will embarrass the Democrats on the eve of their Convention and I am supposed to ignore it. I would literally rather die.

[randome]

12. Public perception is strong enough that she needed to go just on that basis.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. She still has her House seat.

We have a war to win.

[DinahMoeHum]

17. However, she may not have even that after August 30.

18. I think Tim Canova will be fine should he unseat her.

[JCanete]

24. this is effing ridiculous. Yes, Trump is bad. He doesn't have a snowballs chance

in hell of getting elected in the general now, and never had one. Yes, its' sad and scary that he'll probably pull 35 to 38 percent of the vote, but that won't cut it. So people continuing to pretend that we need to pretty much suck it up and look away from inner party corruption because ...armageddon, are doing the future of the democratic party and democracy as a whole, a disservice. Your casual "give them what they want" comment is distressing because you don't seem to want a non-dirty party yourself. How can you not give a shit about how your own party's establishment conducts business?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. Because defeating Trump by any legal and peaceful means necessary is my raison d'etre.

How can you not give a shit about how your own party's establishment conducts business?

Because defeating Trump by any legal and peaceful means necessary is my raison d'etre. Every other consideration I can envision is subsidiary:

THE DANGEROUS ACCEPTANCE OF DONALD TRUMP

He’s not Hitler, as his wife recently said? Well, of course he isn’t. But then Hitler wasn’t Hitler—until he was. At each step of the way, the shock was tempered by acceptance. It depended on conservatives pretending he wasn’t so bad, compared with the Communists, while at the same time the militant left decided that their real enemies were the moderate leftists, who were really indistinguishable from the Nazis. The radical progressives decided that there was no difference between the democratic left and the totalitarian right and that an explosion of institutions was exactly the most thrilling thing imaginable.

The American Republic stands threatened by the first overtly anti-democratic leader of a large party in its modern history—an authoritarian with no grasp of history, no impulse control, and no apparent barriers on his will to power. The right thing to do, for everyone who believes in liberal democracy, is to gather around and work to defeat him on Election Day. Instead, we seem to be either engaged in parochial feuding or caught by habits of tribal hatred so ingrained that they have become impossible to escape even at moments of maximum danger...

http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/the-dangerous-acceptance-of-donald-trump

To put it in idiomatic English Trumpism scares the shit out of me.

[tallahasseedem]

25. I do...

I think she has been a bad chair, even before this malay. Plus, he stance on payday lenders is just way too much for me to take.

[6chars]

27. how can the op title possibly merit 3 exclamation points?

[Lifelong Protester]

28. I think she should resign

if she really has the party's best interests in mind.

[ismnotwasm]

32. Yeah, I'm pretty much a meh.

I think she will resign though
