The Question No One is Asking About the DNC [View all]

Last edited Sat Nov 4, 2017, 08:05 PM - Edit history (2)

How did it get to be so mismanaged? Who let these assholes run the show? DWS, DB, both unfit. I mean, just who is reading the resumes and interviewing these people to lead the DNC? What happened indeed!

A better question is, How do we keep from repeating these mistakes?

We have midterms coming up rapidly, and these new allegations create distrust of the Democratic party. Even if you don't buy into the DB junk (which you shouldn't), why would you trust a party run so haphazardly?
