To DNC Chair Tom Perez:

Gotta say it, Tom, you put me, and many of us, asleep.

You were on the Hayes program this evening, and I wanted to walk out of the room. This “We’re going to talk about it” phrase has got to go. We’ve heard that promise for decades.

Do you know what we haven’t heard? “We’re going to DO (x,y,and z).” What exactly are the Dems going to send to the Senate? You must convey a message of action, of passing actual legislation. Excite people, for Christ’s sake! “Talking” sounds passive. Drop it.

DNC Chair Tom Perez Gets Out the Vote

DNC Chair Tom Perez spent the two weeks before Election Day traveling more than 15,000 miles, visiting 14 states and 25 cities, all to campaign for Democrats up and down the ticket. Early vote and vote-by-mail turnout is at historic levels and our candidates — led by women, and especially women of color — represent the proud diversity of our country and the future of the Democratic Party.

With hours left, we’re down to the wire. This is the vote of our lifetime. This is an election like no other we’ve seen. There is so much at stake – vote.

I’m saying that his communicative style needs some adjustments. His rhetoric, when I’ve heard him, is laced with stump speech phrases that convey passivity. It’s anything but electrifying.
