If Stacy Abrams is not DNC chair this time next year I will need to know why

[Recursion]

This woman is the real deal and this week is proving it.

[Nimble_Idea]

1. Because I vote no

and since no protesting will change that, you have your answer.

[soothsayer]

2. Is that a desirable job? (Sincere question)

[Botany]

3. Tom Perez has done a great job and if he wants to stay on fine.

I loves me some Stacy A. too.

[Bradshaw3]

6. Did he do a great job?

No gains in the House and most likely won't take the senate. I don't know whether he needs to be replaced but it didn't look like a great year for Democrats to me. I would say Abrams did do a great job in registering voters and is one of the main reasons Joe has a chance in GA.

8. The 2020 election when it is all said and done and the votes are all counted it will be a huge win.

We unseated a sitting President and we got more votes for Joe then anybody in history.

[Bradshaw3]

11. The results don't back that up

Even when all the votes are counted. drumpf will have the second most votes all time while Biden squeaks out a win over the worst president of all time, we didn't gain House seats and the Senate is still run by the Turtle. That is a disappointment considering what is going on in this country and who the repubs are running.

16. I bet if I got you a beautiful cabin in the mountains with a lake full of trout, a wildflower ...

... meadows, snow capped peaks, off the grid with solar power, a tamed grizzly bear
named Gus who keeps the place protected, and it had 2 porches one for morning coffee
and one for sunsets over the mountains in the evening with a fire pit you would want to
know where the ocean view was.

18. Personal attacks don't help your case

They only show how unsupportable your position is. There's someone else who uses them too for that very reason.

[Botany]

21. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings

12. This was an uphill climb. We did amazingly well considering

The Senate races were all mostly unwinnable - the fact that we were in the running is a testament to the excellent candidates the party fielded. The same for House races, given the gerrymandered district.

Perez did a fantastic job getting the House majority back and getting Democratic governors and secretaries of state in key states - the ONLY reason Biden stood a chance in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

And one of the reasons Stacy Abrams was so effective in Georgia is because she was able to mount a very credible race in Georgia in 2018.

17. Agree! Abrams is my first choice too!

!!!

[Cattledog]

4. She's gonna be our next Gov."2022"

[Recursion]

5. Is she running? That's the one reason I'd accept (nt)

[Cattledog]

7. Once the election is over...that includes the GA runoffs expect her to announce.

[brooklynite]

9. Do you know she wants to be?

[Happy Hoosier]

10. She'd be a brilliant choice....

or maybe WH Chief of Staff

[StarfishSaver]

13. Being DNC chair during a Democratic administration is a horrible position

The DNC has very little power or influence during a Democratic term since the White House team drives all of this. The DNC chair is little more than a figurehead.

If I were Stacy Abrams, the LAST job I'd want is to be DNC chair in a Biden Administration.

[Boogiemack]

14. Why don't we let Stacy say what she wants? nt

[DinahMoeHum]

15. Thank you!!

Her decision, NOT ours.

[stillcool]

19. yeah, really...

forget what she wants, listen to me, me, me...or else.

[LiberalFighter]

20. For several possible reasons.

1) You are not a DNC member.
2) The DNC members in your state want someone else.
3) They don't have election for that position at this time next year.
4) She might not get a 218 majority vote of 435 total votes.
5) Being DNC chair is more than just PR.
