I agree on every point Sally! Thank you!!!

And further to Tom:

Bernie and his hard-core followers are ego-driven, destructive and will turn on any candidate or platform that actually has a chance of winning.

Start focusing on a plan to win in 2018 (including fighting mass voter suppression/Crosscheck )

And start recognizing and listening to the new generation of DEM leaders: KAMALA (!), Schiff, Kennedy, Murphy, Casey and many more who are ready to fight and fight hard!

When in doubt: follow the lead of Black Women! THEY are the Dem base — not whiny white boys who think women’s health and civil rights are a distraction.

I contributed $$ to and galvanized support for you early on to head the DNC due in large part to Obama’s vouching for you and your organizing skills. However, every action you’ve taken above that Sally notes is a disappointment.

Stop cow-towing to the far left and be proud of a Democratic Party that knows HOW to make real progress toward our goals. We don’t make promises we can’t keep — we make PROGRESS.

Lastly: work. with the state DEMS to stop awarding delegates based on caucuses — they make it easy for sound-bite populists like BS to garner more clout than deserved. Closed primaries prevent that kind of distortion of voter representation.

And oh — yeah: drop “A Better Deal” ASAP — makes the DEMS sound like used car salesmen trying to offload a junker.

Sincerely,

Naomi Pollock,

Democrat
