His group is behind her being in power. Seems they really, really like her.

They should redo big chunks of these primaries. Every one where there were problems voting.

You should have done it as soon as you saw the debate schedule. And, the longer you wait, the less it's going to help with party unity. But, you guys on Capitol Hill are the pros. You know that better than I do.

endorsed her. Getting rid of her from Congress will be up to Canova and us.

Democratic Underground for Tim Canova FL-23: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/du4timcanova

(hard to know if they are the same person) are anonymous, the few who are quoted, and all the people saying "Cough-horseshit-cough" and speaking up for her are senior Democratic leaders who aren't afraid to be NAMED in the article.

Also, with regard to her tenure chairing the DNC, it's not up to "the Dems." It's up to "The POTUS." She is HIS representative at the DNC, he picked her, he named her to the gig, and he has actually ENDORSED her over Canova in her primary fight.

So.... what evs!

"Further down in the article, many Dem House and Senate members deny all of this"

What a hard hitting piece of journalism to create flame bait

The only time I've seen them "tone it down" a bit is when we have both chambers of Congress in our pockets. Otherwise, they pander to the right and snark at the left.

Burying the lede in that article (the actual lead being "Most Democrats, who are willing to be named, call this thesis utter horse shit!&quot is just one more example of their perfidy!

They just can't help it!

Unless we really want the party to be associated with payday lending and throwing cancer patients in prison for using medical marijuana.

I can't imagine why anyone else is so attached to her. She's a train wreck for our image.

She is not "harming our brand." The single-digit percentage of people who care about party leaders might care, but for most people, APIL--all politics is local.

If her constituents return her to the House, she'll be representing them like she always has. The odds are good, if she doesn't stay on at DNC, that she'll get a leadership position in the House.

Unless the voters don't count if they don't agree with you....?

FWIW, the POTUS has come out and endorsed her reelection, in the primary stages, too, so don't count on Obama handing her a pink slip.

You think that's a good idea? Her popularity isn't exactly going up.

As for the rest of it, "local" doesn't mean what it meant in 1972. Widespread internet usage itself is about 4 years older than the people hitting voting age this cycle.

The last century was Newtonian, this one is Quantum.

So all politics is non-local, more like.

It's not up to "We the people."

It's down to "Them, the caucus."

Congressional leaders are chosen by ... surprise! Congressmen.

If she is returned to the legislature by her LOCAL (APIL) constituents, and she enjoys a leadership position, it will be because of the All Politics Is Local nature of the Democratic caucus in the House.

She has two constituencies to convince. And it has nothing to do with the "internet" or social media.

If that internet shit actually worked, Mitch McConnell would be out on his ear.

smh.

You have demonstrated disappointing behavior in past months.

Do you support DWS on Usury? Supporting GOP candidates over Dems?

It sounds just like the divisive crap you've been peddling here recently. No surprise at all.

could certainly be categorized as "disappointing behavior," certainly. And calling me a shopper of "divisive crap" (I am a Democrat--a REGISTERED Democrat--who supports DEMOCRATS for elective office) takes the proverbial cake. "My way or the highway" is not a pathway to success, you see! It might have a little something to do with the reason why your candidate has crashed and "berned."

The irony is that you don't see that you are precisely that which you deride. You are intolerant to any POV under our great big Democratic tent save your own--that's not how Democrats behave. We're a big tent, and there are a lot of us -- at least three million more voters, that's for sure--who think like me.

That said, I'm not going to call you names or characterize you--you've done that to yourself, with your angry post directed at meeeeeeeeeee!


So, you have one of those REAL nice days, now!

It's when you are obnoxious, and shitty that i am speaking of. That's what is disappointing. I remember when you were not either of those.

But hey, be unpleasant if that's what you want. It's your credibility that is at stake, not mine.

More name calling from you ... "disappointing." Again, because I don't support your favored candidate.

"Unpleasant," too. Because your candidate isn't my favorite. You'd find me impossibly pleasant were I cheering for Bernie.

Who's being "obnoxious, shitty, disappointing and unpleasant, with no credibility" here?

I suppose it's all down to perspective, isn't it? Keep digging, if you must. You're giving everyone a grand view.

You are behaving badly. There is nothing more or nothing less. Because of your choice to act this way, you are losing credibility.

I am sorry you choose to behave in the way you do.

You're the one calling me names in this conversation, which makes me wonder why you "choose" to continue to dig that big old hole!

I am sorry you choose to behave in the way you do.

Probably to alert troll, but that is speculation on my part.

In any event, I hope you get over whatever it is that makes you behave so badly as of late.

Thanks for proving my point.

I recommend eating the first two billy goats and ignoring the third.

see who is being uncivil.

I am sorry if you consider me defining your recent activity on DU as being an "uncivil" activity. Perhaps the best solution would you to not act horribly in the first place.

I am not the one here with the deep decline in interpersonal skills.

It's sad you are unwilling to acknowledge or change your destructive behaviors.

Maybe some day you'll not be so angry, emma.

because I think you have some serious issues.

The MAD part is obvious.

on your own, if you can manage it.

I am describing your disruptive behavior.

It's a pity. Disruptive behavior makes DU suck. I am not sure why you are so intent on doing that.

Please stop disrupting and be a good citizen of this discussion board. It's really not that much to ask.

I have been begging you for multiple posts to discontinue your efforts to make DU suck. Yet, at this point, that is clearly your mission.

I hope you are able to fill that empty void that is causing your anti-social behavior with something more fruitful than being hateful. In the mean time, please try to practice being a decent contributor to this discussion board. There are a lot of things that can make DU suck. We don't need anti-social behavior out of you to add to the list.

It's astounding that you cannot take reasonable advice but would rather turn it into this. But hey. Maybe by keeping you busy here, you won't have time to shit like this elsewhere on DU.

You could probably find better uses of your time than being a shitty member here. One possibility would be being a good member of DU.

Most people accept correction. You clearly value disrupting DU over anything else.

Surly? No. I just get frustrated having to correct a person who cannot behave like an adult.

Do you perhaps still live with mommy or daddy? You don't strike me as someone who would keep a job long.

I'm running out of ideas. You repeat posts over an over. Add no value. And clearly live up to and surpass every criticism I have of you.

Why does making DU suck thrill you so?

It's tragic that your whole life is apparently dedicated to being a internet personality who trolls liberal sites.

When you shit on DU, I am going to call it out when I see it.

But I guess the juries can read.

That's a pretty shitty way of thinking, especially for a Democrat.

Quit shitting on DU.

I think you are in the wrong party with that attitude.

Your argument is you won't stop shitting on DU until I raise enough money to make you.

What other dubious SCOTUS decisions do you support?

I only call out people who shit on DU. Like you do.

I wish you would stop.

Please stop shitting on DU.

It's too bad that it's done by you spamming rather than having an intelligent conversation on the matter.

You spamming is another example of your problematic behavior here.

Your pretty funny when confronted on your poor behavior.

At this point, it's clear that I've soundly won the argument.
