State Dem leaders livid at Obama organizing group OFA

AT: Leaked emails from a Democratic Party listserv account reveal the anger of local and state Democrat leaders at the relaunching of President Obama’s activist group, Organizing for Action (OFA).  Many Democrats around the country believe that the group siphons money and people from state parties, which directly led to the party losing more than 1,000 state legislative seats during the Obama years.

Daily Beast:

The nonprofit, which functions as a sort of parallel-Democratic National Committee, was founded to mobilize Democratic voters and supporters in defense of President Obama’s, and the Democratic Party’s, agenda. Instead, the organization has drawn the intense ire, both public and private, of grassroots organizers and state parties that are convinced that OFA inadvertently helped decimate Democrats at the state and local level, while Republicans cemented historic levels of power and Donald J. Trump actually became leader of the free world.

These intra-party tensions aren’t going away, especially now that OFA “relaunched” itself last week to protect the Affordable Care Act, boost turnout at congressional townhalls, and train grassroots organizers gearing up for the Trump era.

This is some GRADE A Bulls**t right here,” Stephen Handwerk, executive director of the Louisiana Democratic Party, wrote in a private Democratic-listserv email obtained by The Daily Beast. Handwerk was reacting to news of OFA’s post-election retooling, which was shared “without comment” to the group of state-level Dems by Crystal Kay Perkins, executive director for Texas Democrats.

  1. I call “Bullshit” as well. It’s not about the money. If it were just about the money being the reason that the DildoCrats lost, all OFA would have to do is double down on de stoopid and ask for more donations, more money.

    But it’s not about the money. It’s about the ideas, the politics, the freedoms. And Libtard politics just cannot compete in the free marketplace of ideas. Note that I said FREE marketplace.

  2. “The nonprofit, which functions as a sort of parallel-Democratic National Committee”

    Sort of a shadow DNC government…a DNC deep state.

    Good for them. They’ll need something to keep themselves busy when Trump runs them out of their spider-holes.

  3. I hope Obama’s anti-Trump organization crosses the line in to sedition or any RICO law. I’d love seeing jugears in prison. Never have we had such a spoiled brat in office as the half black clown. If his intelligence was as good as his ego, he’d shut up. ‘ll bet he spends a fortune one security. Don’t make him a martyr.
