That is actually a good suggestion, I will talk to the mods about that too!

Please do take care of your mental health, it's just as important as physical health!

okay so it's complicated.

the dnc is a committee that consists of the things i outlined in this post: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3797403&userid=50373#post466337725

some of the people make sense like the state democratic party chairperson and vice chairperson (if there are multiple vice chairpeople i've been goin with the one labeled 1st) but some of it random stuff like the National Democratic Municipal Officials Conference. lots of people i haven't been able to find contact info for. and 200 additional members that apprently hold no other office besides DNC member, which i have no idea how to find who or what their contact info is.

if you have a D senator/congressman/gov email their office

also google your city/state's democratic offices, for instance in illinois there's both a chicago chapter and an illinois one and their websites almost always have contact info

You were one of the footsoldiers, not a general. You didn't do anything wrong. You fought as hard as you could, for a good cause. You didn't fail. We appreciate what you've given for the cause. And just look in this thread. People are taking your words to heart. People are taking up the cause you fought for and lost.

Don't give up hope.

Ok thanks, yeah I am confused as to whom I email. I know Donna Brazille is technically in charge but she got yelled at by staffers today so she probably is hiding under a desk in the SITUATION ROOM next to Wolf Blitzer.

I legitimately had one of the best days I'd had in a while the day after the election because I managed to completely ignore the internet for about 24 hours, and just focused on getting up to speed at my new job, and taking care of crap around the house. It really does help.

No, I meant he's being pushed for 2020. Who becomes the DNC chair is the literal first battle though. Lose there, may as well piss into the wind.

I'm waiting for Donald Trump, when announcing that how "mexico will pay for the wall", announces that this will be done by the US not paying off trade debts owed to Mexico, resulting in the next great depression as the world economy shits a brick over us debt not being guaranteed

A massive realm of possibility just opened up because of neoliberal political failure. There's no reason to campaign on a public option when you could push for universal medicare.
