Petitions to remove Debbie Wasserman Schultz as DNC Chair growing at historic rate

The divide in the Democratic Party continues as pressure continues to mount to remove the current Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Heading into the 2016 election, the consensus was that Hillary Clinton would coast through the primary and become the Democratic nominee. While Clinton is the front runner and the odds on favorite to represent the party in November, millions of liberal Americans are voicing their opposition to the current Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Campaign Chair chaos

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the current Chair of the DNC, has been under constant fire since the start of the primary season. The biggest argument against Wasserman Schultz is her alleged bias in favor of Clinton. Wasserman Schultz, a strong supporter of the former Secretary of State, once worked on Clinton's presidential campaign during her unsuccessful run in 2008. Over the course of the primary, the friction between Wasserman Schultz and candidate Bernie Sanders has only grown, resulting in supporters of the senator from Vermont calling for her resignation. According to The Hill on May 20, close to 200,000 signatures have been gathered in an attempt to replace the Chair of the DNC, while other groups have organized protests outside of the upcoming national convention.

over their Democratic opponents. She has done this more than once in Florida. Just ask madfloridian.

Has anyone seen any posts from her recently? I miss seeing her around here.
