Back in 2006, I was angry. Angry at the Republicans, angry at the weakness of the Dems. I was hard left, and wanted to destroy the current government.
Then later Obama happened. Yea! He was a good person. I started to calm down.
We got piddling reforms, and I supported the Dems and blamed Republicans for not getting more done.
And by the the 2016 came around, my personal life was more secure, therefore more of the same was a great idea, right? So I supported Hillary.

Never again. Burn the loving DNC to the ground. I want a socialist, and I want him to force his agenda on America, Stalin style. Letting Trump win is disgusting. Democratic hubris will destroy years of progress, and hurt millions.
gently caress weak willed centrists. Never again.

Try talking to and listening to poor rural whites. Sorry in advance that a few of them will spew racist poo poo nonstop, but you'll find that many of them are cut from the same cloth as their great grandparents in Oklahoma and West Virginia that literally ate US Army bullets for socialist ideals at the turn of the last century. It also turns out many of their concerns are very valid and are shared by poorer black and Hispanic voters. As I said before you don't have to win over a majority of them - just winning 15% more will keep you from having your face wipe the loving floor in WI, MI, and PA.

Fun fact my whole family is poor rural whites. In fact my mother was am Okie when she was a kid and never went to the same school two years in a row because they moved between California and Missouri constantly, my sister married a marine and lives in a town of less then 1000 people, my nephew spent a year in prison for meth addiction, and my niece had a child when she was 17 years old. Nobody in family voted for Trump, but you know what they didn't vote for Clinton either. They aren't racists, and they aren't sexists(loving lol if you tried to say that to my mother), but what they all are (including myself) is poor. and I know for a fact all us would have gladly voted again for Bernie Sanders. Moral of the story is that there still in this country a strain of that Woodie Guthrie type socialism in this country, but somebody needs to come and try and get their vote, and maybe just maybe not condescend to them that all they are is racist hicks and nothing else.

"Bill Clinton complained throughout that Mook was too focused on the ground game and not enough on driving a message-based campaign. Without a chief strategist in the mold of Penn or David Axelrod, the campaign was run by a committee of strong-willed aides, struggling to assert themselves in the same space."

If I remember the '08 election book correctly, they removed Bill from the campaign then as well and got smoked.

Well looking into it, it looks like it's much harder than i thought to find out who the DNC members for your state are. The 100 "Chair and vice-chair for each state party" chunk is much easier, but there's also 200 "apportioned by population, generally either elected or chosen by the state party" and smattering of other people.

i found the list for california on cadems but reading the DNC charter it seems there is no such thing as a interim chair. I guess brazile just uses it to indicate she doesn't want to do it forever but theres probably going to need to be a popular call for bernie before the DNC members actually have a vote

Regarding Hillary's failure to promise "something" as opposed to simply running against Trump: Democrats have a credibility problem as they're in no position to deliver on anything they promise. Given the current intransigence of the Republican party, Democrats need to control the House and Senate to pass anything. The Republicans are guaranteed the house until 2020, and quite possibly through to 2030. Obama could never really deliver on the "Hope and Change" rhetoric (even if he wanted to), and the resulting disillusionment have contributed to the depressed Democrat turnout seen in 2014 and this past week.

The Democrats can try to push a socialist agenda, but need to make it clear to potential supporters that nothing can be done until they retake congress. It will be a tricky argument, as it's not clear Democrats can control congress in the foreseeable future.

edit: VVVV Hillary wasn't exactly wrong, either would have played roughly the same role as president in terms of vetoing whatever nonsense Republicans threw their way. I think even Bernie emphasized his "revolution" couldn't happen without Democrat control of congress.

Lighten up on ol' Venom Snake. Dude just watched a project he sunk a lot of time and effort and hopes and dreams into crash and burn because everyone involved at the top level was a pack of morons.
