Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

They are the minority. You're basically falling for the same line of reasoning that the "elites" fall for, thinking that most people are the same as the small vocal shitty minority.

A minority? A grand majority of voters vote for either Republicans or Democrats, and a grand majority of people seem to support authoritarian policies of various kinds. Is it really a minority?
