The focus on the trauma and toxicity of the Trump criminal cabal — and on Russia’s outside interference in our elections, on blacking out and dismissing and dehumanizing Bernie Sanders, etc., etc. — is tragically and chronically served up by the mainstream media as a distraction from the poisonous pervasive inside interference in our elections and a repeat of 2016 that’s happening right now. Absolutely chilling. And not surprising at all. We are truly in the fight of our lives.
BEWARE THE DANGER OF THE LIES AND SABOTAGE OF THE DNC AND THE CORPORATE MEDIA THAT SUPPORTS THE 1% AND NOT WE THE PEOPLE! — Molly
"The Dem establishment has been screaming that our movement is sowing divisiveness and is going to ruin party unity but they're nailing that to the wall all by themselves."

Calls for Tom Perez to step down as the head of the Democratic National Committee grew louder Tuesday in the aftermath of the Iowa caucus fiasco in which party mismanagement of the process delayed the results from Monday night's contest and left the 2020 Democratic presidential primary in disarray.
"The Iowa caucus debacle is so insulting to the candidates, their volunteers, the caucus-goers, and the DNC's own process," tweeted HuffPost senior reporter Zach Carter. "Tom Perez has to resign."
Multiple petitions on Change.org called on Perez to relinquish his position as chair of the DNC. One of the most popular ones had over 13,600 signatures at press time. #ResignTomPerez trended on Twitter overnight.
While Perez and the DNC were not technically in charge of the process Monday night, the national party's influence on the process likely led to the caucus meltdown. Top-level party officials' concerns about Russian interference in the 2016 election have created a cottage industry of technology security experts offering protective services for elections.
On Monday an app developed to report results by little-known but party-connected tech company Shadow encountered problems, throwing the entire process into chaos.
As Common Dreams reported, secrecy around the app, its developer, and the process by which it failed have sown distrust in the primary process among the Democratic rank and file. Perez's position at the head of the party has made him the focus of that anger and frustration.
The anger at Perez had been brewing for days.
