(21,852 posts)The only option presented sounds too violent to me.
She should be removed from her position. Force should not be required or contemplated.

(19,326 posts)Some came out of the woodwork a month or two ago, about the paltry & poorly scheduled debate schedule,
and forcefully called her out about it. One is a Vice-Chairwoman, Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.
I think she would make an excellent replacement actually.

DWS is ALREADY skating on VERY thin ice, and it wouldn't take much for her to go under IMHO.

(45,251 posts)Look at the 2014 midterm results based on her strategy of "Pretend you've never heard of Obama or the ACA, even if you voted for the ACA."
She should have been thrown out the day that became the strategy for that election.

(45,251 posts)If they mean "involuntarily," that is implied in the word "removed."
I'm non violent, but I'm voting for that one anyway, on the theory that whoever wrote it needs a dictionary.
99th_Monkey
(19,326 posts)I think the intent is clear. i.e. that she won't go voluntarily or quietly .. she's made that
pretty clear.

But yes, if she's removed, she's removed. We don't need to know how.

And, if perchance I did know how, I'd gladly keep it to myself.

DWS is ALREADY skating on VERY thin ice, and it wouldn't take much for her to go under IMHO. It ONLY
takes a simple majority of DNC to remove Debbie.
