Top DNC Staffers Leave Following WikiLeaks Email Scandal (usatoday.com)

An anonymous reader writes from a report via USA Today: Following the leak of nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee emails and the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, several more staffers are leaving their positions. USA Today reports Amy Dacey, the chief executive officer of the DNC, Luis Miranda, the party's communications director, and Brad Marshall, chief financial officer, are all leaving the DNC. The statement announcing the staff changes praises the outgoing aides and makes no mention of the email issue. "Thanks in part to the hard work of Amy, Luis, and Brad, the Democratic Party has adopted the most progressive platform in history, has put itself in financial position to win in November, and has begun the important work of investing in state party partnerships. I'm so grateful for their commitment to this cause, and I wish them continued success in the next chapter of their career," said Donna Brazile, the party's interim chairwoman. Some of the leaked emails from party staffers depicted officials favoring now-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders during their primary campaign.

This gets very tiresome. Your accusations are shrill, hyperbolic at best, and just plain slander at worst. Whether you're a Sanders supporter or a Trump supporter, you're demonstrating the unhinged nature of the political partisan.

So Clinton played hardball. What the fuck do you think political primaries are about? They're a big bad bruising affair whose whole purpose is to determine who can take the most punches and still remain standing. Is that fair? No. Is it right? Not really. But it is what it is, and it has been that way for a very long time. Primaries are not love ins, and politics is not a Timothy Leary-esque happening. And considering the kind of mud your kind are quite happy to sling, whether it's true, or even rational, it seems somewhere deep down you understand that. The real problem is you're a cry baby, a sore loser, and an infantile little brat who can't accept that your favored candidate has either already gone down in defeat, or if you're a Trump supporter, that he's so insane and moronic that he's actually dynamiting his own campaign.
