If you like your DNC Chair, You Can Keep Your DNC Chair and Her Seat

Cross Posted at DK, because I can.

Continuing the Obama administration's defense of embattled Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Vice President Joe Biden said he will headline a fundraiser in Florida to bolster her primary campaign.

Under DWS's tenure Dems lost 11 governorships, 13 U.S. Senate seats, 69 House seats, 913 state legislative seats, and 30 state legislative chambers.

I thought her removal was something all progressives at TOP agreed on.

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest reiterated Obama's faith in Wasserman Schultz and his desire for her to remain as head of the DNC through the November election.

The fundraiser costs $2,700 per person or make a larger $10,000 donation to the Democratic Party which includes a picture with Biden.

The Dems won't change, folks.

And that also means not voting for Hillary. It's what has to be done to change things around.

That puts the onus on us to connect dots from amiable Joe Biden to fundraising for Debbie Wasserman Schultz (and don't be surprised how many voters haven't a clue who DWS is or why supporting her should be disqualifying).

And from Biden to the illustrious (not) Justice Clarence Thomas, setting a record for not opening his mouth (10 years) on the Supreme Court: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/01/us/politics/supreme-court-clarence-tho... And, of course, to Anita Hill.

And to the bankruptcy bill: http://www.salon.com/2015/10/21/joe_bidens_greatest_betrayal_the_one_sen....

Oh, and his ties to the financial industry--those folks who crashed the economy and walked away laughing: http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/pat-garofalo/2015/09/03/joe-bidens-b...

Now I’m imagining the expanding empire of Texarkana, and a certain blue and red logo, where “H” stands for — you guessed it — Hannegan.

TOP is a Clinton echo chamber. Check your progressivism at the door.

DWS is an epic fail by any measure. It's amazing that they keep her in her current role.

They made sure she stayed as Chair cause she's so good at kissing ass and screwing the whole Democratic process. It turned out just the way the establishment wanted.

They were all doing their dirty work behind the scenes.

The gravy train is strong and growing stronger. Corruption flourishes. All the insiders are still inside doing their fuckery. Success*!

*unless you're a member of the 99. Then not such a success.

money to get a photograph with Biden or any other elected official? Bernie never charged money for any picture taken of him with other people.

Moyers had a nice piece about how she (DWS) typifies the party. I guess Biden does too!
http://billmoyers.com/story/wasserman-schultz-has-a-change-of-heart-but-...

Democratic insiders like Wasserman Schultz, however, continued to whistle past the graveyard, believing that the well-funded and well-connected Clinton machine — and general fear of a Trump regime — were enough to carry them to victory in November, despite the grass-roots disgust with a party that reeks of rot from the top. Once the champions of people who came home from work with hands dirty from toil and sweat, too many establishment Democrats went over to the dark side, taking up the cause of the well-manicured executives (think: Goldman Sachs) who write the checks and the mercenaries who deliver them (for a substantial cut, of course).

The lust for loot which now defines the Democratic establishment became pronounced in the Bill Clinton years, when the Clinton-friendly Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) abandoned its liberal roots and embraced “market-based solutions” that led to deregulation, tax breaks, and subsidies for the 1 percent. Seeking to fill coffers emptied by the loss of support from a declining labor movement, Democrats rushed into the arms of big business and crony capitalists.

Not with Obama boldly standing between the pitchforks and the banksters, and giving Pharma and Health Insurance industries such lavish gifts.
