Some Democrat organizers blame former President Barack Obama’s grassroots nonprofit for helping destroy the Democrat party, leaked emails show.
The leaders and activists didn’t take news of the nonprofit, Organizing For Action “relaunching” to protect Obamacare well, as they believe the shadow army drained valuable resources and energy from the official Democrat grassroots effort during the election. Obama launched the effort to mobilize Democrats in support of his — and the Democrat Party’s — agenda.
“This is some GRADE A Bullshit right here,” a leader of the Louisiana Democratic Party, Stephen Handwerk, wrote in an email leaked to The Daily Beast. “It also to me seems TONE DEAF–we have lost over 1,000 seats in the past 8 years… all because of this crap.”
The thought is that Obama’s organization diluted the strength of the grassroots army the official state party apparatus was working to build during the election, and so inadvertently contributed to the party’s devastating loss of power. Grassroots organizers and state party leaders have long criticized the group both publicly and privately.
“Yes, it sure is,” Katie Mae Simpson, a leader for the Democrat Party in Maine, replied to Handwerk on the email thread. “OFA showed up in Maine, organized a press conference on saving [Obamacare], with one of our Dem legislative leaders speaking, all without ever mentioning that they were in state and organizing. They hired someone I know, which is somewhat helpful, but my god, they don’t have a very good alliance-building process.”
No accident IMO that it is a Democrat from the South seeing this ahead of the rest of the party coming to its senses.

Where do I send the thank you card?
How is this entire article not racist?
/s
The real reason Hillary lost is because she wasn’t out picking turnips in Turnip Commune #43.
That is how the Democrats can win.
Picking turnips.
Everyone must be forced to pick turnips.
That should be the Democrat message.
That wouldn’t work because the van wouldn’t be close enough. Meaning, close enough to chuck Hillary into like a side of beef, when she becomes ‘dehydrated. ‘
We had been saying for years to liberals that Obama was a narcissistic fraud only for himself and that he could care less of democrats just as republicans. Heck, he could have run on a GOP ticket and the effn RINOs would have been all over it like they were for Jeb.
How does that compare to Fake News or to Alt-News?
Haha!
I think they are saying that Obama is the turd in the Democrat punch bowl.
The thought among leaders of the decimated party is that Obama’s non-profit organization---OFA--- diluted the strength of the official state party apparatus, and contributed to the party’s devastating loss of power. Grassroots organizers and state party leaders have long criticized OFA both publicly and privately.

“Dems Think Obama’s Nonprofit Army Destroyed The Democratic Party”
Since there is no ‘democracy’ in the Democratic Party only totalitarianism
A coup d’etat?
Obama's goal was NEVER the good of the country or even the democrat party.
He is a muslim infiltraitor. (<~~ emphasis on traitor' see what I did there?)
And his goal was promoting them in all ways possible, for their takeover of the USA.
This is likely Carville’s position being parroted. As I see it, they have Carville, Brock, Zero, Warren and Manchin warring for control of the RATS. I’d put my money on Carville.
They’re about to lynch Brock.

Clearly it was not their policy. /s/

Not the first time I’ve heard talk that Obama is not doing much good for the Democraps because he’s only about himself 24/7/365. He may start “speaking up” etc. as time goes on, but despite his OFA brownshirts, he’s going to turn the country away from the Dems ..... again. When folks (I know some) comment that they are ‘scared’ of what he might do with his ‘former president’ platform, just look at what he’s done to the Dems over the 8 years he was president. To top it all off, Nazi Pelosi & others, who have also had devastating effect on the Dems, are still ‘in power’ and in denial, saying they only have a ‘communication’ problem. Chelsea Clinton, other than being a twitter twerp, isn’t going anywhere .... her parents are elderly and sick & their power is fading .... Chelsea only derives her ‘perceived’ future power from them. If Trump keeps ‘winning’ and the economy improves such that people recognize the benefit in their own lives, Trump will win re-election & the Dems will be worse off than ever. Frankly, just getting rid of Obamacare and that d@mn mandate, forcing Americans to buy something they do not want & cannot afford, is enough for me, but I’ll take all the “winning” Trump can make happen!!
