Funny... 15 threads about firing Wasserman-Schultz. Zero about firing Israel and Bennett

You know, the people who were actually responsible for coordinating the House and Senate campaigns for the party...

As a plus, there's actually a process for firing a DCCC or DSCC chair (the party leader of the chamber just has to give the word), and for that matter Israel is stepping down, but I don't think there's a recall process for the DNC chairperson.

They need to retire and let younger blood win back the majorities they've LOST.

as agree with your post.

I'm 71 and recognized a long time ago that "youth will be served," and the quicker it happens, the better off everyone will be.

Let's remember that John Kennedy was 42 years old when elected President. MLK was only 39 when he was assassinated. Bobby, Malcom etc. never chronologically reached middle age.

History speaks for itself.

Rand Paul or Pete Seeger?

Ted Cruz or Howard Zinn

Chomsky or Bachman?

If we get Dems with a spine, their age would not matter.

Stop donating until the chair steps down and let them know why you ain't giving. That's your recall process.

You can thank me later.

8. the real problem...teleprompters --> brain-dead candidates

maybe not brain dead,
perhaps 'extremely ordinary' would be
a better description for certain candidates.
example, the Marks brothers,
(especially Mark Udall.)

a modern teleprompter is more
than just a 'projected print' kind of thing,
it gives hints on timing, and intonation

any 10 year-old can sound like FDR
