In reply to the discussion: Jasmine Crockett for DNC Chair [View all]carpetbagger
(5,466 posts)68. Depends on the white guy.
The last three past DNC chairs were Tom Perez, Tim Kaine, and Howard Dean. Perez and especially Dean did great jobs, and the three of them did better than Harrison ,Wasserman Schulz and Brazile.

It's a large uphill battle against a Russian-style oligarchic national media, but if we're not communicating effectively, it's the outward-facing party leaders who shoulder the blame. We need better versions of or better messaging from Schumer, Jeffries and Newsom (although his social media guy is a national treasure).

But fighting loudly isn't the DNC's job. Fundraising and organizing is its job.

If you want to her to run as an "issue" candidate as a path to an alternative role, then lead with that.

It is not Jasmine Crockett's job to do outreach to Black women for Democrats.
