Also, don’t forget that Wasserman-Schultz is the one who went on TV after the 2016 primary in Nevada and cried while claiming Bernie supporters were throwing chairs. That’s after she did what she could as the DNC chair to make sure Bernie couldn’t possibly win the nomination.

Who else is here because of Dirty Debbie critic @NicoleSandler?

31:45 This is why "join a union" is just a baby step in the right direction. Leftists focus entirely too much on organizing workplaces while outright ignoring the necessity of organizing communities: the places people live. An organized workplaces is really important and I won't argue against it, but organized livingplaces tie workplaces together, taking it from "that union is fighting for the benefit of their workers" to "the people of that community are fighting for the benefit of all of the workers that are part of that community, and the improvement of the community itself."
I haven't seen any leftist media which actually focuses on the "how" of organizing. Plenty of "capitalism bad," plenty of "here's a good/not bad candidate," but no (that I've seen) "this is the process of organizing, starting with just you the individual in an atomized society." Channels like this need to spend time on that if they want to actually help people organize and democratize...and push things leftward. Criticizing has its place, but it's TOTALLY POINTLESS if there is no counter "now let's talk about how to go about affecting change in our lives." You know, the thing that draws in so many people to the right, but in a healthy/positive direction instead of leading them towards fascism.

It's too bad she lost, but what do you expect under the circumstances.
