I've lost a lot of respect for the Democratic Party. I don't know who I'm voting for come November
Why does everyone assume I'm voting for Trump? We have other candidates outside the two party system and I didnt explicitly rule anyone out.

If those emails turned you off.
You were not a reliable democratic voter anyway, and are just making excuses not vote for Hillary.

Going to expect a resignation shortly after the convention, honestly. I don't think the leaked emails are a huge revelation, but the woman has become a burden on the Clinton campaign. Excising her now is the best way to save face going into November.
oh please if you're voting for trump then just say so. stop pretending the candidates are anything alike for you to even be considering one or the other.

Democrats need every vote they can get.
Democrats dont need to cater to Hostage Votes.

Yeah, just fire her. I guess it might have to wait until after the convention, but she's come off as pretty terrible.
If you're willing to ignore sleezy stuff done by the "good" side, how are you any better than the bad one

"I mean, I can't vote for the people that privately wanted a specific candidate. I'm sure they're in the same category as the guy talking about the size of his penis on national television."

Well one thing is emails that while bad, ultimately were never put into action. Trump is a full on racist and fascist empowering a white power movement in the US. A tad different.
My hunch is that she's going to end-up being the sacrificial lamb in this drama.
I also bet that Bernie will go out onto stage on Monday night to lay-out the stakes before us. This email drama doesn't change what this election is about; he knows this. Those who respect him and his movement, those who understand the consequential nature of this year's outcome, those who say they trust him.. they'll heed his words.
It seriously boggles my mind how people can equate the misgivings of Hilary's campaign to the misgivings (which is extremely generous a term) of Trump's campaign.
There's a wide gap between ignoring any issues within the DNC and opting not to vote for Hillary.

What sleazy stuff was actually done? From what I have seen, some people discussed some stuff in emails, but no actions were taken in regards to those emails.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
In another thread it's pretty established that voting for Trump at worst, makes you a racist, and at best, means you're absolutely fine with racism, just something to think about.
Because the good side isn't trying to take away the rights of 11 million minorities, cripple the country economically, has actual policies, and isn't run by the most racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and straight up idiotic politician in recent presidential history. In terms of "sleezy" shit. The emails revealed that *gasp* the DNC is full of humans, not robots, humans who have opinions on who they prefer. There were no conspiracies, no rigging of millions of votes.
You must be joking. Did you just now realize that people are people? DWS is not the democratic party, she is the current chair of the DNC. There have been many chairs before her and after her. She's one person. And more importantly, politics is not a series of actions carried out by automation without subjectivity or opinion. Politics is messy.

If this is all it took then you were never a solid Democratic vote anyway.
If this is 'sleazy' to you, then I have a bridge in New Jersey to sell you.

Never been a big fan of DWS, even before this election, so I'm not terribly broken up, I suppose.
Do you care about liberal policies?
Do you not want Trump as president?
If you answer yes to either, I recommend voting for Hillary. She's a liberal politician and electing her would of course deny the presidency to Trump. Win-win.

If by "sleazy stuff done" you mean "one guy making a suggestion that nobody else wanted to follow through on so it didn't happen".
'sleezy'
Please.
The public stuff of Bernie's campaign was worse then what those emails were talking about.
Unless everyone forgot how his campaign illegally accessed DNC files and then blamed the DNC and use it to make more money fundraising?
Or when the Bernie Campaign made baseless accusations of money laundering just so they could send out a mass fundraising drive?
Nope, just sleezy DNC.
And the DNC actually said no to the 'sleezy' things. Bernie's campaign actually did the above.

Maybe Democrats can start winning some elections now with a new head of the DNC.

Yeah who cares about the actual policies your vote will go towards!

Lol. WTF? Did you think Democratic Party was run by angels?
Presumably the one that will enact policies you agree with.
...
Or you can just vote for the candidate who has nicer hair.
From what I've heard, she did a shit job in general and won't be missed.

Yeah, those leaks were pretty bad. You should definitely vote for the racist, sexist, bigoted fascist who has no experiences beyond botched business deals, a cozy relationship with Putin, and who claims he will build a great wall of America to keep out all those Mexican rapists their government keep sending.
Or the anti-vaxxer who wants government funded homeopathy, she's almost as good of a choice.
Or a Libertarian. You know, they're a real, serious party!
It's pretty incredible how quickly this was glossed over and actually spun in Bernie's favor when his voter data access was temporarily suspended over it.

Oh yeah, if we're doing WhatAboutTism, I'd like to point out that Wikileaks is an anti-Semetic and pro-Putin propaganda machine outfit.
Are you saying this purely because of the email leaks? Because if so, get thicker skin.
"Oh whelp I'm generally a liberal but dissatisfied with how the DNC has run things, looks like I must vote for a Tyrannical Incompetent Racist Bafoon and apparently Russian Puppet"
Cause that makes sense...

Imagine what they say about Trump. Especially during the Primary. You want to talk about collusion to take down a candidate? Look at those emails.
You do realize that parties are run by people, each with their own preferences for candidates and stances, right?
And that, up until about a year ago, Bernie Sanders was not a member of the Democratic party, while the clintons have about 40 years working as top state and federal officials under the banner of the Democratic Party?

Hopefully not Trump. It would be an endorsement of his racist platform.
Anyone willing to ignore his racism is as bad as any racist in my opinion.
Nobody says you have to ignore anything. And there's no love lost for DWS by Democrats if you haven't noticed. But he is full of it. A few random people in the DNC cracking some improper jokes in emails and some preferring Clinton as a Candidate doesn't swing someone's vote from a Liberal candidate like Hillary to Donald Fucking Trump...
And you know it. He's just being honest with the guy who is making excuses. Vote Trump if you want, but don't pretend like these weak ass emails are some straw that breaks the camels back and sends you running to relief in the arms of the guy who is racist as hell.
A joke post like every other.
Clinton couldn't be a bad pick next to Trump if she tried, but whatever helps you guys sleep at night.
