I thought this worth a diary of its own for the following reasons.
It's time for Debbie to go, and it's one of the FEW things we mostly all agree on here, and I'm craving action. In the threads today, I came up with the link above.
If any of you have a better petition, or better ideas, holy moly, speak up. In the meantime, PLEASE, sign this petition and flush it 8 ways from Sunday into your social media contacts.
We may not be able to unseat Ms. Schultz at this time, but we sure as hell can make the seat under her burn a bit.
And, I want to say this, for me, and me alone. This is not personal to Ms. Wasserman-Schultz, in that I believe she is doing what she believes is best, and I know how hard it is for a woman to do that in today's world.
All those who think she's a mindless shill for Hilary discount her in many ways, imo, and I'm not going there, because it's a bottomless sea of insult and personality politics.
But, that doesn't mean I think she's doing a good job of this. She is not, imo, and it is something we need to set her straight on. When my darlin' Dkos members of all stripes agree on even one thing in the primaries, I say, for God's sake, let's go for that! Let's join in what we all believe, and find a way to put serious heat on Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
C'mon, this can not be that hard, if we join together, at least on this. Start by signing the petition and sending it on to every active Democrat you know.
Then let's brain storm a bit, can we? Surely there's a way to interest the media in how the base is not happy with Debbie, and why. Lord knows, they sure cover the GOP base these days, in all ways.
When I saw her not able to disguise her disgust for Martin O'malley's legitimate questions about the Democratic party's debate process, I really shuddered for her. She has met the point in her position where she can no longer hide her agenda, despite all her hard work, and I can both feel for her in this, and also damn her for it, and put out an SOS to all Democrats/liberals/progressives…we must do everything we can to call her on what we don't agree with.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, this was clear to many before this. But I'm talking about a breaking point. And we need to make it break.
So I start with a drip in the bucket, and give y'all a petition you can sign, and flush into your social media. Totally open to other ideas, not so interested in bitchin' without witchin' some results.
Frankly, I don't think we can remove her from the DNC chair at this point. BUT, I do think we can make her squirm in that chair, I think we can make her feel the heat coming right up from the seat of that chair, I think we can make it a lot harder for her to carry on with "business as usual" for the DNC.
Yep, I think we CAN do this. And that's what I'm interested in, as I think it's realistic.
