DWS getting hammered on Twitter

#DearDebbie

"Here's what I see: A complacency among the generation of young women whose entire lives have been lived after Roe v. Wade was decided."
DWS

Well....#DearDebbie and see how Twitter responds!

Anybody else think she should go NOW!

You’re one of a dwindling number of progressive politicians who oppose legalization of even the medical use of marijuana. Where does that come from? I don’t oppose the use of medical marijuana. I just don’t think we should legalize more mind-altering substances if we want to make it less likely that people travel down the path toward using drugs. We have had a resurgence of drug use instead of a decline. There is a huge heroin epidemic.

Heroin addiction often starts with prescribed painkillers. Pill mills were a problem in Florida, but the state didn’t make prescribing opiates illegal. There is a difference between opiates and marijuana.

Still, your opinion on this does seem like an outlier. It’s perfectly O.K. to not be completely predictable. I am a person, and I have individual opinions that may not line up ideologically. They’re formed by my personal experience both as a mom and as someone who grew up really bothered by the drug culture that surrounded my childhood — not mine personally. I grew up in suburbia.

she is asked about medical mj,mj and responds about heroin...like they are the same in any way to anyone but the feds

16. Seems obvious. The leadership of the Democratic Party has been infiltrated and taken over ...

... by conservatives.


When we ousted Mike Tate as Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, two of his key staffers went to work for a right wing think tank. Debbie WS undermines any progressive Democratic candidates and if they should still win their primaries, she backs Republicans.

There's tons more evidence.

6. Her point seems to be the same as the mantra of many Clinton supporters

1. Roe v Wade can only be saved by electing Clinton, and
2. That's really the only issue to consider

Example:

Young Female Bernista: I should not graduate college $100,000 in debt with no healthcare, and Bernie wants to fix that
Clintonite: Think of the Supreme Court!
YFB: Huh?

7. I'm surprised they even go with an *issue*: usually it's just "she's the X candidate and thus

anyone else hates Xs," the last clause usually staying implicit outside of certain "closed discursive communities": it's just a way of putting people on their off-footing, of making any post making actual policy comparisons look defensive or "fragile"

it's basic Rahmism

8. Newsflash for the NY Times - DWS is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being a Progressive!

What an insult to Progressives. She's a RIGHT WINGER who doesn't belong in the so-called "Democratic" party.

Boot her out, NOW. She definitely doesn't belong as head of the DNC.

PEACE

10. Could DWS be intentionally cultivating such loathing?
Wed Jan 6, 2016, 07:41 PM
Jan 2016

Such a hypothesis may grant her too much credit, but it's about the only leverage she has left. I imagine the effect of such a statement will do more to GOTV among young women than anything else she's done. I'd guess the national turnout for young women just rose an additional 1-2%, to spite her!

Sounds wacky, but what isn't these days?

11. Response from The Hillary group - Please

I would like to know if the Hillary supporters on this site can please chime in and let me know if they support DWS as the DNC head and what there reasons may be. Other than the obvious, that she (DWS) is a Hillary supporter.
What good has she done for this party. I can't find anything positive about her. At this point the silence from the Hillary supporters is deafening.
