Now, should Wasserman-Shultz be fired? Just asking.....Now can we rebuild the left?

[TheNutcracker]

It's time to get very serious for 2016.

[SummerSnow]

1. i agree with you

[yourout]

2. Is it even a question? Job should be posted tomorrow.

[TheNutcracker]

3. K&R to the greatest. It's time to T A K E I T B A C K!

[lancdem]

4. who's head of the DSCC?

not a great job done there, either.

[PeteSelman]

5. She should have never been hired.

She's horrible all around.

They should have never taken the chair from Dr. Dean.

[zentrum]

44. Right on n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

6. She has done a terrible job. Howard Dean.

[Qutzupalotl]

26. I second Howard Dean!

Never should have fired him in the first place.

[derby378]

35. I third Howard Dean.

Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean. Bring him out of the wilderness and put him in fucking charge.

[Odin2005]

56. I agree, Shirley.

[MannyGoldstein]

7. No way.

8. The Third Way will control who runs the DNC

and they will choose one of their own. Doesn't matter how many times they lose with the 6-state-strategy, by gawd they're going to stick with it until it works!

How many Congressional Districts went unopposed and who is responsible for recruiting candidates?

[mazzarro]

22. B-I-N-G-O!

Since Howard Dean got kicked out, the party has been quite laid back in pushing its message let alone any liberal agenda. The Democratic Party sits back and gets run over and around all the time bu the rethugs and bare responds. I have always felt that they - the leadership and their agents (political gurus/advisers) - are purposefully doing this just to keep the marketing links to big corporations open and humming for the big bucks they always get paid when they decide to go back to private fortune making land.

[Le Taz Hot]

25. When things calm down,

you need to do an OP making the "follow the money" point. Members of BOTH parties may pay a little lip service in their opposition to Citizens United but the fact is that there's just too much money to be made by too many people to do anything about reform,

[MisterP]

32. heck, even the few policies the party warms up to defend were stolen from Newt

or the pro-coal, pro-drilling, pro-fracking, union-busting, teacher-smashing, neoliberal party just lies and says it isn't

[laundry_queen]

48. Bingo, yahtzee, ++++, etc ^^^this. nt

[JDPriestly]

51. How many Third Way Democrats were elected today?

A lot of them lost out. Progressives like Franken and Grayson won.

It was a sort of purge of the Third Wayers, wasn't it?

[Le Taz Hot]

57. I know it's true here.

Jim Costa, CD-16 - Blue Dog Democrat, lost his seat tonight. My guess is that, instead of taking away that we need to go left, the Turd Way will decide that they need to go even more to the right.

[LittleBlue]

9. DWS's strategy seemed to be...?

What was our strategy in this election? Distance ourselves from Obama and pray?

Time for a new direction.

[nc4bo]

10. Well, first off - we MUST stand for something and actually

do what we say because ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

OK - economy, saved but for the common joe/jane - we're serving tables and praying we get tipped enough to feed our kids, pay our upside down mortgages and on and on.

The populist message always wins but just saying the words is meaningless, gotta mean what you say.

We used to stand up, now? Not so much.

No more watered down, lukewarm Democratic Party principles - our opponents do not water down jack!

[TheNutcracker]

12. That's right!

[mazzarro]

27. Hey - remember that Democrats are still keeping their gunpowder dry!

I guess that it is not yet time for the dry gunpowder! It is so discouraging to hear them say that the Democratic Party has to be the grown up one. Why should the reThuglican party always be allowed to get away with all their dirty tricks and games? I say fight them with whatever is necessary to assure success - period!

[rpannier]

54. Have to keep the powder dry

They'll need it to protect themselves with the angry masses come for them too

[laundry_queen]

49. They need to stop treating common joe/jane like idiots

Most people are remarkably astute. They can tell if someone means what they say and if they are trying to screw them. If they give someone a chance, and that person doesn't come through, people usually don't give that person another chance. Fool me once and all of that. It's not even if liberal legislations gets passed - it's about how hard you actually fought for it that counts. People can tell when you aren't really fighting for them. They aren't stupid, and the Democrats need to stop treating them like they are.

[JDPriestly]

52. First and foremost, no talk of compromise on Social Security.

If Social Security is changed for the worse, the Democratic Party will be irrelevant. Same for Medicare.

[HereSince1628]

11. you should know they'll argue to get -closer- to the right

simply because the right has won.

This will not help those of us in the left wing of the party.

It'll be worse not better

[BuelahWitch]

39. Yep, expect 3rd Wayers to flood talk shows

and argue that very point.

[TheNutcracker]

13. No more rightwing dems!

[lumberjack_jeff]

14. Of course.

The first step in a post mortem should not be to renew the contract of the doctor who killed the patient.

[AnnieBW]

15. Absolutely.

Put a progressive Dem in charge of electing House members! Or, better yet, bring back Howard Dean!

[elzenmahn]

34. I would agree with bringing back Dean...

...he's charismatic, people listen to him, and he WILL bring back the leftward voters who seem to be leery about the Dems.

[undeterred]

16. Fired for sending too many emails or for sending stupid emails?

[BuelahWitch]

40. Fired for being an ineffectual leader n/t

[DonCoquixote]

17. Fired?

As in give her a cigarette and a blindfold, yeah...(sarcasm)

[johnnyrocket]

18. Yes, she sucks...amateur. We need big guns...serious business.

...to obliterate the Reps.

[TheNutcracker]

20. We need to not be afraid to be democrats! Period!

No more DINO shit!

[CorporatistNation]

19. Wasserman-Schultz ENDORSES REPUBLICAN Ginny Brown-Waite in Congressional Race in 2006!

So What would you expect from Lil Debbie? Have the Dems had enough of the Corporatists themselves? Debbie needs to be replaced by A Legitimate DEMOCRAT who actually advocates and encourages populist policies and principles. IF there is no difference between candidates from so called opposing parties then there is no reason for Democrats to vote PERIOD!

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0707/S00219.htm

[think]

23. yup...

[CorporatistNation]

21. Sending Stupid Emails Sometimes TWICE a day...

DOES NOT WIN ELECTIONS!

[Doctor_J]

24. we can't rebuild the left. no media, no money, no representation in either major

party.

[Rex]

28. Rebuild the Left? No what we need to do is get rid of Third Way types

that don't represent the party or party line.

[Renew Deal]

29. Yes. Time to go

Although I liked her enthusiasm, she couldn't be expected to do both jobs. Dean?

[MoonchildCA]

30. Yes!

Who's idea was it to run against the president?

They let the republicans (and the media) control the message that he has been a failure. The opposite is true! They should have been trumping his record on the economy, the deficit, jobs, the stock market, gas prices, and yes, HEALTHCARE!

I'm so mad, sad, and disappointed, I can't stand it!

[w4rma]

31. Bring Dean back to the chair, or someone who understood his strategy and would continue it. (nt)

[Cleita]

33. Yes. We need Howard Dean back or maybe his brother who is doing a good job

at DFA. We just need some new blood and fresh faces that aren't jaded by the Washington insiders club. We need some good brains who can think strategically without losing sight of what we stand for.

[Brigid]

36. We need to do *something*,

That's for sure.

[ballyhoo]

37. She is horrible. Someone should have already phoned her and said good bye.

[Mkap]

38. resign

she may be pressured into resigning, Ohio's party chairmen Chris Redfern said he was resigning earlier today

[angrychair]

41. She should resign TONIGHT

Goodbye and thanks for nothing!

[SunSeeker]

42. She couldn't even rid her own state of that criminal Rick Scott.

[whereisjustice]

43. When CDC's Frieden infected the media with lies and bullshit, the party apparatus

circled the wagons and continued to blame the nurses until the damage was done. He should have been fired.

Liberals pushed to the margins, without representation or influence, will continue to be blamed for the faults of the elite.

We are convenient that way.

[RBInMaine]

45. Oh yes, she stinks at this job and needs to focus elsewhere.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

46. Rebuild the left?

I didn't know the actual left needed to be rebuilt.

BTW: Hillary ain't "the left".

Bernie would be.

[PAProgressive28]

47. Cenk (TYT) got an e-mail right before they went off air

It was from the DCCC. Subject was "Great news in Florida!"

It was about some Congressional race. Unbelievable.

[bklyncowgirl]

58. Yeah I got one of those too. WTF!

[JDPriestly]

50. Yes. She shoyuld resign.

And Obama should pull his veto power out of his drawer and explain to the public in no uncertain terms why he is using it.

This is not the time for compromise. The Republicans refused to compromise with Democrats. The only way to get them to the table for honest compromise is to give them a taste of their own medicine. Democrats have to be strong and pull together in the Senate and House.,

[underthematrix]

53. Can someone direct me to the place where I can close my DU account?

I looked under my account and didn't see to close it.

[Odin2005]

55. Debbie needs to go to fucking HELL. I want Dean back.

[TheNutcracker]

59. Righ on! And she supported republican candidates over progressives in Fla in the past

Just look at the youtube in above post! Unspeakable!

[Enthusiast]

60. I have NEVER trusted her. Well, I used to trust her. But I changed my mind.
