TAMARAC, Fla. (AP) — Sporting red-white-and-blue sneakers and a matching bedazzled manicure ahead of Florida’s primaries on Tuesday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz smiles and tells voters she is “running for reelection to Congress.”
That’s true — with a caveat. Wasserman Schultz is seeking her 12th term by running in a new district after Republicans scrambled the state’s congressional map earlier this year.
The fallout pushed Wasserman Schultz, a former national party chair with powerful ties in Washington, to cross district lines from her Fort Lauderdale exurb and be the only white candidate against four Black candidates in an area of Broward County that has helped send Black Democrats to Congress since 1992. That’s yielded an uncomfortable fight following the U.S. Supreme Court decision that gutted the Voting Rights Act provisions undergirding minority voting strength and effectively cleared Old Confederacy states, including Florida, to reshape House districts.
People seem to forget her role in fucking us all over in screwing Bernie in favor of Hilary back in 2016. She has no place in our government
This person is a major reason why we got a Donald presidency and a speedrunning of fascism. She’s also a major reason why Democrats had to argue publicly in court that they’re allowed to rig primaries, which is why I chuckle a little any time someone uses the word ‘democracy’ in this country.
When the people decide they want a Dem that isn’t Dem-approved, the DWS’s of the world always try to kill their candidacy. For Bernie it was snake emojis, getting CNN to leave a mic on so Liz Warren could berate him on national TV, and of course “socialism”. (And they still had to rig the primary against thim.) More recently we’ve seen Dems raise the call against illusionary radical Islam against Zohran and AES, calls of “socialism” and Anti-Semitism against AIPAC-opposed candidates, and a phantom SA allegation (that there’s still no evidence for) against Graham Platner.
Watching all these centrists devour each other is kind of entertaining and I hope DWS has to get a real job when all this is said and done.
She fucked Bernie. Absolutely responsible for trump getting elected.
You don’t have to defend platner and you shouldn’t
I know that the notion that accusations should be accompanied by evidence is considered unsavory to some, but if you go look at the many case files on the website of The Innocence Project, it becomes pretty clear why accusations shouldn’t be taken at face value absent evidence.
So, she is complaining that the rules were changed on her in an attempt to rig an election? Oh no, there is no way she would know anything about how that feels…

I’m kind of annoyed with myself that the irony didn’t slap me in the face, but you’re not wrong. It’s a solid point.
Please leap into the dustbin of history with Hillary and never come back. Thanks.
She’s worse than the republicans; only someone who is EXTREMELY uninformed would ever vote for this bitch. But I guess she’s counting on that, Florida being Florida. Let’s hope Broward Co can get a candidate that’s more honest than this film of pond scum
To me, she’s one of the unsung arch-villains of this century. DWS doesn’t get nearly enough credit for her role in bring unvarnished fascism to the forefront in this country.
The concepts of representation and diversity are just racism and sexism but for “good” people.
Jesus Christ, the more pictures I see of that woman the more I’m convinced she’s a goddamn demon
She is quite the troll, no doubt.
