It might be time for Tom Perez to step down

[RealityChik]

95. Same old, same old...

When the stuffed-shirt establishment Democrats stepped up to install their man, Perez, to lead the Democratic Party, I knew it would be the same old, same old. Sure enough, they missed another golden opportunity to rally behind Democratic challengers in all the upcoming Congressional Special elections vacated by Republicans joining the Trump cabal in his clown car administration. The DCCC was again caught flat-footed in Kansas and gave no support to Jim Thompson until the very last minute, when it looked like he had a shot at winning.

Similar scenarios occurred in Montana and in the Georgia primary. Thanks to a citizen grassroots campaign that raised boatloads of cash for Ossoff through small donations, the DCCC was shamed into contributing at the end, then disappeared when they should have demanded a recount after the bizarre shenanigans by the repubs that enabled them to steal yet another close election. And in Montana, the DCCC was nowhere to be found!

And what about South Carolina? Who the heck is Archie Parnell and why isn't every Dem in Congress and the DCCC getting the word out in his behalf and sending crates full of money to fund his campaign? That run-off is tomorrow and it's been crickets from the party AND the media!

Now, remember this is Tom Perez's Democratic Party leadership. We can't wait until 2018 to evaluate his leadership. By then we will have lost the momentum and will have lost every off-year election by a hair. That's no way to succeed in 2020! If this what we can expect from here on out, we're doomed.

I think we should be searching for the person or persons who organized the grassroots campaign initiative that gave Ossoff a winning chance and beg THEM to lead the DCCC!

As long as Dems are the minority party, they, WE, have no power. If we don't throw every last ounce of energy and resources into winning short-term, smalltime elections, how do we expect to regain Congress in 2018, much less the presidency in 2020!
