Bernie For DNC Chair!
Submitted by Meteor Man on Wed, 06/08/2016 - 11:41am
I see that Bernie is meeting with Obama and that he is being pressured by the Dem Big Wigs to drop out. How about replacing DWS with Bernie? I would take that as a better indication of political reform than any meaningless platform planks.
Frankly, I don't expect any genuine systemic reform from the Big Wigs and have already registered Green.
Godspeed to the activist soldiers who think the party can still be reformed, but that ain't me. I'll be working on local skid row and Black Lives Matter issues here in L.A. Maybe volunteering to work with the Green Party to get a personal look at the nuts and bolts under their hood.

No thanks. He needs to be unincumbered by TPTB
I want him free.
Don't believe everything you think.
After seeing what the party did to Howard Dean...
Fuck that. They took all of the gains he made with the 50 State Strategy, credited them to Rahm Emmanuel, and used that leverage to install third way, corporate Democrats as DNC Chair, like Tim Kaine and DWS. The Democratic Party saw its biggest winning streak in years, and they fired the guy who made it happen. Do you really want that to happen to Bernie, too?
It's just possible
that Bernie could handle the heat better than Howard Dean and put in place procedures to protect his changes.
Plus we are better positioned to keep an eye out for chicanery.

Tulsi Gabbard for DNC chair.
She's been a great ally & she is not afraid of a fight.
The fact that her presence gives DWS a massive ulcer would be icing on the cake.
THIS!
What a great idea! I'd LOVE to see Tulsi in that chair! Not only that, she'd be able to be there for a good long time! Let's face it, Bernie is no spring chicken. Tulsi is much younger, and she's as tough as nails, too, just like Bernie!

Sounds like an excellent choice!
We need somebody there.

What would be the point of this?
After letting them steal their way through the primary with DWS, once its over they let Bernie have the spot?
That's fine if he would be interested. It doesn't mean anything to me, though.
I'm sorry, I'm not interested in any so-called concessions from the Democrats except for removing their criminal presumptive nominee.

Being head of the DNC
Means getting corporate jizz on your face. I don't think Bernie is into that.

There is one dead-end position
and presumes that the DNC is worth salvaging.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
I bet the first thing Obama sez to Bernie will be
So what's it going to take to get you to concede before Philly.

Very interesting, Knot.
I'd love to be that proverbial fly on the wall in that meeting!
