Dear President Obama. Please show a little progressive backbone and replace Ms. Wasserman-Schultz.

Her bias does not represent the grass-roots of the Party. She is blatantly favoring H. Clinton. It's bad enough that the Progressives have to fight uphill against a system corrupted by Citizens United and a Conservatively biased Corp-Media, but to have to fight the Leadership of our Party is unacceptable.

Some Clinton supporters have expressed surprised at the bitterness of some Sanders supporters. Well wake up, the system is rigged by the rich and powerful. Just because you find comfort in their authoritarian rule, many of us prefer freedoms and liberties. Our founders would be sickened by the ease that some acquiesce to the Aristocracy that they (our founders) fought against.

President Obama, stand with the People and not the Oligarchy.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is an obnoxious and inappropriate OP accusing President Obama of finding comfort in the authoritarian rule of the rich and powerful. The last statement accuses the president of standing with the oligarchy.

This is a charge that no Democrat should allow to stand against a Democratic president and the OP deserves to be hidden. The author needs to join another party if he dislikes members of the Democratic Party being elected to office.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 10, 2016, 02:49 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP is speaking about a bias that does exist in the Democratic Party towards the candidacy of Sen. Sanders. Freedom to speak the truth shouldn't be discouraged.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is inappropriate. This is Democratic Underground, even if the poster apparently thinks it's been renamed. Accusing fellow Democrats of "finding comfort in authoritarian rule" is extremely rude, as is the accusation that President Obama isn't progressive, doesn't have a backbone, is on the side of "the oligarchy" and doesn't stand with the people if he doesn't replace Debbie Wasserman Schultz. KitS
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I cannot support the alerter's logic, mostly because I cannot FIND the alerter's logic. (And having a D after your name doesn't disqualify you from standing with the oligarchy, by the way.)
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just routine delusional nuttiness. 75% of DUP is worse than this.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Good grief, after all that's posted here, this is the least offensive thing I've read in awhile.


Now I can say what I didn't in my jury comments -- what the ever loving fuck is up with this alerter??? And 2 ppl actually voted to HIDE it??? This place is making me crazier every day...

Democratic Party. Some wish to censor those that don't toe the corporate line. A good Democrat is skeptical of our leaders and not afraid to speak out. We live in an oligarchy and we all know it. A recent Princeton confirmed what we know. Good Democrats reject Citizens United and the Big Money that runs our government.

While Ms. Wasserman-Schultz is a disaster to the Democratic grass-roots and to the Party, she is keeping the Oligarchy happy. That's why Obama chose her and that's why he won't fire her.
