Debbie Wasserman Schultz must go immediately if not sooner

In her position as chair of the DNC, she represents not only the political establishment, but the corporate establishment that has corrupted the political establishment. She is in her position for one and only one reason: to protect the establishment from a spreading insurgency that that may swallow Debbie Wasserman Schultz as early as tomorrow. Many of Democrats, who as democrats are tired of the DLC/Third Way sellout to big banks and the fundamental tenets of Reaganomics that decree that the profits of a multinational corporation are more important than the welfare of an American worker. We reject this proposition. We have always rejected this proposition. We can no longer pretend to tolerate that proposition.

The leadership of Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been a disaster for the Democratic Party. The loss os the United States Senate rests at her feet. She selected candidates fir the fidelity to the failed economic model pushed by presidents of both parties starting with Ronald Reagan and wondered why disaffected Democrats stayed home in droves. Under her leadership, the party ran candidates against vulnerable senate Republicans and lost every race.

In recent weeks, Debbie Wasserman Schultz has betrayed the heritage of Franklin Roosevelt by siding with payday lenders, who are nothing but loan sharks acting with the blessings of laws passed by a corrupt Congress, She is protecting a predatory industry that should not be permitted in a civilized society, and she does this for an industry that supports her financially.

This week, she has denied access to the DNC's VAN database to the primary opponents of incumbent Democrats in order to save her own hide from a primary opponent. In a year of insurgency, what gives Debbie Wasserman Schultz the right to lock in established incumbents like the? These establishment politicians, like Debbie Wasserman Schultz herself, often take money from industries who interests run counter to the health and welfare of the American people. Many of these establishment politicians are as corrupt as any Republican and richly deserve to be defeated.

If you live in the 23rd congressional district of Florida, currently represented by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, please vote tomorrow for Tim Canova and rid our party of this incompetent, corrupt and harmful leader.

This is our party, not Al From's, not Jon Cowan's and not Debbie Wasserman Schultz'. Let's take it back from the corrpupt corporate and political establishment.

Exactly. The DNC is supposed to be neutral in the primaries. jwirr Mar 2016 #10
Certainly not when it comes to her own race Jack Rabbit Mar 2016 #11

Decided after the payday loan deal that I was dropping my dem registration for indi as soon as our primary is over next month - and will stay there until she is fired ad DNC chair.

Now with this VAN access trying to thwart Canova - Imma keep it that way until she is no longer in ANY dem leadership role - and that includes in a Sanders Administration.

She is beneath vile.

we are supposed to. She has no right to use this Democratic organization for her own purposes and that includes as a weapon against her own opponent or for her choices as candidates.

She works for us and since she does not want to do her job any more than the Rs in congress do - she needs to resign.

. . . she had no right to set the debate schedule the way she did, either.

That was another one of her bright ideas.

There is not one sign that she has been that way.
