A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

He says Clintons excluded. You say decades in the making. I see common ground.

"Decades in the making" refers to the Dems having morons in charge and in the party throughout the decades. Even Jesus Obama made some humongous blunders as he stripped funding from the DNC and did so little with OFA.

it's either incredibly sad or amazingly uplifting that the left is going to regain control of the democratic party with only very minor resistance. If you went back in time and told yourself that progressives would take control of the DNC with the support of chuck schumer would you believe yourself.

Turns out, establishment Dens bend over backwards for anyone. Not just corporate types and Republicans.

202-863-8000 is the national # for DNC. If GOP: ecampaign@gop.com

If local, google by keyword, i guess.

Each state party has their own website but many posters ITT have found them to be......lacking. Your best bet is physically finding an office and talking to someone or finding phone numbers to call. If you can't get in contact with the local party check out what advocacy groups in your area need help raising money, protesting, or pressuring politicians.

Not concern trolling: Has Dean given any indication whatsoever that he wants to institute the kind of deep structure reform needed to prevent another Hillary campaign?

Please spare me any speculation about Dean having an incentive to listen to the voters or else get kicked out. We just watched the voter base fail to show up and defend their own best interests out in a spectacular way.

As far as I know- none. I don't know if broadcasting the major structural flaws of the party would be something you'd do in announcing a bid though. But it is possible that he'd take over and basically not really work.

Like we can all still hate Trump and his whole crowd of jackasses without being immature little shits about it.

I mean, being willing to listen in case someone on the other side makes a good proposal by accident is way better than smug and incoherent rage that manifests itself in things like this loving sign:


Eichenwald's probably dead wrong on a billion other things but he's right about this.

it's approximately the 900,000th joke about white people and pumpkin spice I've seen so excuse me if I'm not wild over it

even if I concede on it being funny, of all the things to protest this election with it's the epitome of the kind of smug tumblr wokeness that we on the left have been following up our own asses for the last few years
