      She didn’t call Emanuel a disease. She’s saying corporate influence on the D party is a disease. She could be right. The left may be better off with a message of economic populism. OTOH, maybe that ship has sailed.

      Democrats should be the party of the working class not corporate interests. I agree with her.

      We don’t need a cult of personality no matter who it is. This is on our shoulders to be forces of good and change in our communities.

      Rahm has no shot, even Biden made him an ambassador just to get rid of him.

    5. tresslesswhey on

      Rahm fucking Emanuel? Really? Dems want to keep losing I guess.

      I wonder if/when she make the Jump to Senate. I’d hate the lack of job security knowing I have to get re-elected every 2 years.

      Establishment pushing Emmanuel who: “After serving as an advisor to Bill Clinton, in 1998 Emanuel resigned from his position in the administration and joined the investment banking firm Wasserstein Perella, where he worked for 2+1⁄2 years. Although he did not have an MBA degree or prior banking experience, he became a managing director at the firm’s Chicago office in 1999, and according to congressional disclosures, made $16.2 million in his 2+1⁄2 years as a banker.”

      Then went on to get a Freddie Mac Board position and get roiled with scandals… the same Freddie that destroyed the economy with subprime loans.

      Good job democrats shooting ourselves in the foot. How about we nominate a real grassroots progressive organizer to DNC chair.

      I hope the Democrats begin to realize that they’re controlled opposition since they take money from the same donors that support the people they’re running against.

      Rahm was a disease for Chicago; his tenure included shutting down lots of public schools and covering up police misconduct, he didn’t even bother running in 2019 because he knew how much the city hated him

      The DNC as a whole is a disease. We need to get rid of these establishment cronies in our own party.

      podcast. “He is the most skillful, political kind of infighter in the Democratic Party. He’s been a member of Congress, he’s been White House chief of staff, he’s been the mayor of Chicago.”

      Oh you mean he shit all over democratic constituencies relentlessly, ran everything he was involved in hard right and yielded masses losses for the party?

      May as well completely destroy the party the same way Axelrod pushed Kamala to dump all her progressive economic policies as her message that last few weeks, which is when all the actual swing voters broke for trump.

      Idiots who are totally out of touch.

      Nominating a corporate democrat donor shill like Rahm Emanuel is a good way to ensure continued losing for Democrats

      She only “blasts” him? At least she didn’t “slam” him. Fucking internet journlism.

    17. spleeble on

      Hear me out: Dean Phillips for DNC chair.

      He’s the only person I’m aware of who actually tried to do something about the fundamental issue that cost the Dems this election cycle. 

    18. RIP_Greedo on

      Rahm Emanuel (along with all his cretinous brothers) is a genuinely evil person.

    19. Punado-de-soledad on

      We need to resurrect the corpse of Mother Jones and make her the DNC chair.

    20. thismike0613 on

      If they make that guy dnc chair I’m totally out of the Democratic Party forever, period.

    21. abenevolentmouse on

      If the party doesn’t embrace progressive populism im officially out

    22. nkassis on

      She’s 100% right here. Emanuel is absolutely a toxic choice for the party. And they really do need to rebuild from the local level up.

    23. R-O-N-A-N on

      Trump is a billionaire. His unelected right hand man is the wealthiest person in the world. They’re going to cut taxes for the rich and keep their boot firmly on the neck of the working man. It should be a complete lay-up for the Democrats to run on an anti money in politics, fighting for the working class against a cabal of plutocrats narrative, but it entirely hinges on them purging their own party of corporate interest first.

    24. LindeeHilltop on

      I adamantly believe that it is the DNC’s screwed up messaging and lack of messaging that is holding us back. Turn it over to the younger generations.

    28. Dense-Comfort6055 on

      If the democrats want to complete their suicidal momentum take in corporatist Emanuel to lead them into grave. Did they learn nothing from their defeats

    31. toad__warrior on

      You guys kill me. You are calling a possible candidate horrible because he is heavily corporate. Yet the party that beat the shit out of the democrats is a defacto corporate oligarchy led by a corporate schemer with 50 years experience and they blatantly take billions.

      Think about that.

      We were beaten by a corporate entity. What does that tell you about what “the people” want? “The people” want to hear some fairy tales about free benefits, peace and everyone gets a pony.

      SO TELL THEM THAT.

      Get off the fucking “orange man bad” diatribe. Yes he is a horrible human, but he is in charge for the next four years.

      Seems like the Democratic leadership or former leadership just simply cannot or refuses to read the room. I agree with AOC. Anyone who thinks that someone like rahm Emanuel is what we need right now is Libby in the past and living in fantasy land and doubling down on methods that have been proven over and over again in the last 8 years do not work.

    33. Hypeman747 on

      Looks like the election is going expose the two factions of the dem party the Bernies socialist and mod dems. Wonder who will win. Maybe time for a breakup

    35. cm103 on

      So we still getting bent out of shape over Newsweek articles in here?

      Emmanuel is a contender for the post, not the chair yet. Rather than getting pissed off on who is vying for the job, maybe wait to see who is elected?
