As the next DNC Chair, ensuring that our candidates are equipped with the resources needed to win across the country will be my top priority. If we want to protect our democracy, then let’s elect leaders who will.

Yes, what the DNC needs is another middle aged white man at the helm. While you’re at it, make sure to continue to ignore Midwest states, especially IN and OH. And make sure to keep us wondering why the dems pursue only losing strategies.
The current chair is a Black man and he and his predecessor have been virtually invisible non-entities. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the last good chair until she got a little too pushy. I think O'Malley is a great choice, he's good on TV, he was a good governor. I have faith in his abilities.
Couldn't disagree more re Debbie.
Another Hillary Clinton shill. The dem party has been on a steady decline since the dnc was co-opted by the Clinton brand of neo-liberal, pro military industrial complex policies decades ago. Now the party leads in unforced errors & empty political rhetoric imho
But Debbie was out there front and center. I know she messed up with Hillary but at least we knew someone was running the DNC. All Perez did and Harris has done is send out emails begging for money appearing to come from other politicians or celebrities. I have faith, for now, in O'Malley.
Heard. Low bar, but heard. I could hold onto hope, hold onto needed and swift change with Marianne.
She reps the future.
Should there be one.
And #davidhogg as vice chair? The pace would pick up indeed.
All Americans would benefit from that.
Not sure that someone who had a toxic working relationship with her campaign staff is the best person for the job. But, just like in politics in general, we do need younger, more diverse candidates. But if the only choices for the DNC is O'Malley and someone we never heard of, I'm for O'Malley.
Yeah we’re not really seeing the dems do much of anything, unfortunately. Feeling very hopeless in Ohio. We need you all to STAND UP to the felon in charge and his cronies. Not holding our breath, though.
You want your candidates to be equipped? It’s time for the older generation to let go, retire and allow the AOCs and Crocketts of your party to take charge. They hear their constituents and are actively interacting with the people. Those are your winning candidates for a reason.
Please ensure there is some funding to hire on-the-ground work in locales. This last election, despite a BILLION being spent, there was not a single dime to hire anyone to work in Trump strongholds in my area of SWFL. Who got paid this last time? They should not be hired again. They’ve failed—TWICE.
How about growing a spine? How about not promoting lame septuagenarians to powerful positions instead of younger, more in-tune leaders? How about actually LISTENING to constuents and NOT fickle MSM?
All of this. As well as getting past the idea that MSM is worth much, talking to people where they are, doing what they can to dismantle the "ivory tower" idea and present as people that care and want to help, and being a moderate right party on the world stage when we want a left party.
Time for big thinking…..NOT money. Consider organizing around the “People’s Cabinet”…….https://snyder.substack.com/p/an-alternative-cabinet?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=310897&post_id=154542424&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=f01a7&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
Will you fight? Use media and social media to combat the lies or just sit back and hope you can restore norms? It’s time for a full fledged brawl. Nothing less. If you’re not ready, go home.
I'm hoping for Marianne Williamson.
Time for centrist, neo-liberal policies driven by the Clinton era to take a far back seat to progressive, anti-war policies with a focus on BOLD actions that ensure a future for generations to come.
Otherwise it's wash, rinse repeat and Dems lose into extinction
Yes. They need a spine and to stop moving to the right in the spirit of compromise. Dems need to hold hard lines & do what serves people, we need new talent and new ideas as the leaders of the party. Fight back against the corporate machine and speak to our values and rights, no more status quo.
I have been a Democrat since I could vote, I’m 59. I am disgusted with more attention paid to “optics” rather than getting the job done. Stop being pushovers! At this point, I’m not proud to be a Democrat, and won’t vote again… this election was a joke.
"If we want to protect our democracy, then let's elect leaders who will" are hollow words right now. Your party just torpedoed AOC and championed a racist immigration policy. Equipping candidates with resources isn't going to do much when those candidates blatantly defy their constituents.
This. We are sick & tired of seeing the party shift right for "compromise", old leadership be deified while young talent is ignored & undermined, & our values & needs be sold out to corporate interest. We lost many voters because it's a lot of hollow talk with no action. Establishment ISN'T working.
What we need are younger people in the positions where all those over 65 are. There SHOULD be age limits of 65 for ALL elected officials. ALL!
These career politicians become corrupt after so many years whether they mean to or not.

Sorry. This lame, run-of-the-mill comment disqualifies you from the running.
