meaningful way for violating rules in such an egregious way. She has been bad news from day one with her bias.

Not sure what can be done. Perhaps refuse to back her in future elections?

I may just do that.

I'd say he's pretty darn progressive.

This whole thing is just stupid and I am not surprised at the straw grasping that is going on. Democrats are being used by Trump/Putin.

Moving on...

Someone who used their power to tamper with true democracy and the people that think she should be punished are the ones on the side of facists and dictators.

I'm not even saying that Bernie would have won if DWS and her cronies had kept their hands off the scale. But it just feeds in to one of the many aspects of the HRC candidacy that people really do have legitimate gripes with (being the epitome of the "establishment" that people are tired of and who use their power to subvert democracy).

What matters is that what she did altered the Democratic process. Next primary season it could've been your candidate who she didn't like. The DNC chair is not supposed to make those decisions - we voters are.

and defenses against Bernie's smears. There is nothing in the E-mails that shows an altering of the democratic process.

I'm no fan of DWS, but this latest crap is OTT.

... The play book.

not just Convention Chair. The bias against Bernie was just blatant.

Can throw a tomato at her in the spirit of punishment.

just kind of did a scan read of what was being said. However, I have said previously that the DNC in 2008 made a pact with Hillary that if she stepped aside from trying to gather delegate votes for the nomination that in 2016 if she came back she would have the full backing of the DNC. I think the DNC did not think that there would be a strong candidate against her, and when one emerged they did what they needed to do, to keep their promise.

bad judgement of what the DNC did?

This is all her fault. All of it.

I'm tired of her and her sloppy ass handling of the issues.

I'd like to see her out as chair of the DNC.

Both need to go. Enough of this nonsense! We have an election to win and deny the megalomaniac ANY chance of ruining the USA!

Is it enough? Guess we'll find out soon.

Hopefully the media will focus on the actual convention tomorrow and during the week. They are trying so hard to gin up dissension in the democratic ranks. It is best to squelch this quickly, IMO.

Yeah, it'll disappear like everything else of import after one or two news cycles. Don't know that the media needs to gin up dissension in the Party -- there's enough of that already. But I think Bernie will be able to cool those flames sufficiently.

Paulites got to Paulite.

I do seem to have struck a nerve, though.

And did you know all issues with trump are a secret raging hatred of all white men?

What a ridiculous overuse of the issue of misogyny.

True.

Enough said.

And I really hope you don't think this OLD SCHOOL FEMINIST FEMALE FROM THE 70s. is a misogynist.

Sometimes Hillary supporters (?) really say terrible stuff. "Simmering misogyny". that just makes pent up anti-supporter anger. I hadn't realized it before, but I can be pro-Hillary and anti-Hillary supporters. Sometimes the supporters' messages scream louder than the candidate's message.

and yet DU lets it slide.

Your insistence on absolutism doesn't reflect reality. There are all kinds of people who are Democrats who will be in Philadelphia. Some of them feel as strongly as you do about Hillary. Some of them do not. That does not mean they wish her to fail, nor does it mean they desire a GOP presidency.

The same can be said for DU. Some of us have reservations about HRC and the conditions and associations of her Campaign. That does not mean we are not Democrats, nor does it mean that all of us wish her to fail, nor does it mean your insult has basis.

I hear your anger and your apparent desire for ideological purity. I suggest that is a trait of the man you most wish not to be president.

I also suggest you would be wise to consider that your neighbors here have as much right to their views of the Democratic process as do you. Do not let your fear of fascism cloud your views of those who likewise abhor it.

I see yours. Thanks, have a nice day.

among other things....

When she shut Bernie's access to state funding, donor, and voter records?
When she undermined a democratic candidate at every turn, in violation of DNC rules?

Since when do awful facts constitute misogyny?

Shame on you for typing such offensive bullshit.

.....you are defaming would have supported Warren in a heart beat. Doesn't look so much like misogyny at that point, eh?

Not to mention all the support they feel for people like Barbara Lee and Barbara Boxer.

As a lifelong feminist and a female, I take great exception when the term "misogyny" is misused and actually used against people like me.

are those whose only motive is to trash good Democrats.

I guess I should feel honored.

DWS's own actions over the past several years as DNC chair made her not a "good Democrat." Criticizing her for things that are true is not "trashing."

I'll ask nicely again: please change the wording of your post. Otherwise, people may think you only stated your feeling that way to get responses.

isn't another turd way Democrat. No to Donna Brazille.

So this isn't really anything.

It's about accountability and what the party stands for, not just the operations of the DNC.

Violating the SPIRIT of the rules has to have serious consequences.

She is an embarrassment and blight to the Democratic party.

None of this news changes my support for our nominee. The more I know about HRC the more I like her. But DWS? This is crap, and I'm glad she's gone.

he comes and goes under the spotlight. There is a reason this guy is in Trumps campaign, and its nothing good for this country.....

this problem was there before yesterday.

were not a problem, a Russian plot, and should be ignored because Juluan Assange.

I think there will be earlier ones coming.

And going after her is an effect but not the purpose of the leak.

The timing more likely has to do with increasing the attention to the leak.

the convention because they know that chaos and backlash would ensue on the convention floor if DWS took the stage. Being removed as convention chairperson doesn't go far enough. She needs to be removed as DNC chair

She needs to be out of congress. Then again she will just make the transition to lobbyist.

I kinda like sending $27.00 it makes a yuuuuuuge difference

Honk--------------------for a political revolution Bernie

..but because she's horrible and ineffective as a Democrat, to the extent that she deserves not a single lick of extra power.

I'm sure she'll be getting a nice job in the Clinton administration though, if there is one.

Goodbye and good riddance though.

ousted a long time ago.

I believe

as chair of the DNC... nothing else will suffice.

This action is just to 'hide' her from being booooed of the stage.
It's not enough. She must go entirely and everyone knows it.

I heard of several of the Sunday gossip shows that she would have no speaking spot but would still gavel the sessions .

But, you know she was only following orders from higher ups, who must not be named.

For party healing to begin

Guess for now I will just see how it plays out.

“The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and even-handedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process.”

Absolutely, DWS has to go. I hope the Party can find someone who can bring unity going forward. I wouldn't mind seeing a high profile progressive senator take the job. Amy Klobuchar anyone?
