Glad to hear it. If we hadn't heard something pre-convention, I think it would have meant that too much attention would be on "what about DWS?"
Felt like all the negative attention she brought was responsible for turning what seemed like a complete and utter cakewalk for Hillary into something more challenging in the long run. Thankfully, the RNC is doing everything in their power to self-destruct and that will probably get us through in the long run.
About time. It is a miracle the DNC got a complete shithead for the Republican nominee otherwise they would have been screwed with all these reveals and issues. If I was Bernie I would be feeling really vindicated right now. No wonder Tulsi Gabbard resigned. Everything is so corrupt.
Mission Accomplished Debbie. Your next assignment democracy ambassador for the Clinton Foundation.

Watch as Republicans attempt to try to trash Clinton for this. "Party's falling apart thanks to you!!" or some shit.

Amazing news. Now find someone who focuses on state and local races throughout the US.
Dems are so terrible in that area, it's embarrassing.

The personal hate against this woman is ridiculously overblown but it will be good to have some new blood there.

Good, dump her ass and move forward. The party needs to be on their A game.
What would that change? None of the shit found in the email leak was actually acted on.

I remember reading back when Sanders made his list of demands including DWS stepping down that she was going to be gone anyways? It's standard procedure, DWS was appointed by Obama and Clinton is going to want her own person in the position. Plus Clinton doesn't like DWS anyways, they have history.

Clinton would still easily win. The lack of minority support for Bernie cost him the election and nothing DWS or the DNC did changed that

then Sanders win 99% of the vote?

Good.
Because it's easier to replace her after Clinton officially becomes the nominee?

Good riddance.
I wonder what effect, if any, this will have on her House race? IIRC she's pretty popular in her district and it sounds like Canova has already blown through his money, but this can't be a good look for her anyway.
He lost legitimately.
She was always likely to step down after the election anyway, regardless of what the Bernie campaign wanted.

The DNC sure gave the Russia government an opening to take a hit. Sad.
Bernie still loses, man.
Hell no, this election cycle has already drug on far too long.

She should have stepped down or been forced out a long, long time ago. Probably in the aftermath of the mini-scandal where Bernie staffers were accessing Hillary's fundraising data.
So obvious at that point that leadership of DNC was:
1) Incompetent, and
2) In the tank for Hillary
Either of those should have been enough to get her out, but here we had both.
Dems are the party of good government and need to at least be able to run their own organization without looking like fools.

Hopefully this results in longer term unity. Probably not though

Good riddance. Even setting aside the matter of her impartiality or lack thereof during the primary, or her own less-than-progressive positions, her tenure has been disastrous for the party.
She did an awful, awful job of campaigning for midterm elections. As disastrous as the RNC is right now, they get people out to vote on non-presidential years. DWS didn't.

I was saying that they should replace her with someone from the Sanders camp as a sign of unity and pushing the party towards its eventual future.
She would've been replaced anyways. It just helps that she can be the sacrificial lamb for this shenanigans.
She was aight. Not a big fan of her abandoning Obama 2 years ago, but I can't find too too much that I didn't like or dislike of her aside from that. She was just kind of there.

Do you think the millions of people who voted for Clinton would switch to Bernie Sanders? Or that the Southern states he snubbed before would fall in his favor now? Why?
Feel like people are hating her for basically doing what her job description required.
