Debbie Wasserman Schulz needs to go.

[Pab Sungenis]

157. I repeat: what have you done to elect Democrats?

Have you helped in GOTV? Have you phone-banked? Have you done anything other than vote? You belittled my contributions by saying I was just ranting on a message board without having a single idea what I've done, and continue to do, for this party.

You've made divisive remarks, basically telling me and other liberals that we're to blame if Romney wins, a common tactic used by the right wing of the party.

As for "legislative success," on matters that actually count there's been very little of it. We got a watered-down health care bill that won't survive the Court. We got Lily Ledbetter but with no teeth to enforce it. We got DADT repealed only after gay support of Democrats plunged by 15% and we lost the House. No jobs bill. No end to the Bush tax cuts. We got a lot of little, minor, ineffectual things but the important stuff ended up being killed not by Republicans but by Blue Dog Democrats who killed it in committees or by joining Republican filibusters. When we complain about it, we're just told "would you rather the Republicans had control?" Not "let's see how we can work to address your issues," not "let's shake things up so the obstructionists in our own party aren't in control." No, just "sit down and shut up."

And it's not just here. It's in the Party leadership, too. The common belief is that the Left has nowhere to go. Well, they went in 2010 and look what happened. They went to Nader in 2000 and we're still paying for it.

As for the "make DU suck," I apologized and deleted the remark. I still think that your photo threads don't add to the discussion.

And, you weren't including yourself in this view of yours?

"after being told that there's no room for leftists in the Party for so many years don't be surprised then the base finally packs up and leaves."

Read it again. I did not say "we." I said "the base." I'm fighting to move my party back where it belongs. I'm not going to talk about the legislative success I've had during my time on the Committee because I'm not here to blow my own horn. But I've phone banked. I've knocked on doors. I've put out signs. I've written ads. I've worked on campaigns from the U.S. Senate down to local school board, all to elect Democrats. Even a few Blue Dogs that turn my stomach, just because the alternative was worse. I don't take kindly to being accused of bolting the party.
