Hmm... why is he only filing them now? Could it possibly be because a candidate backed by David Hogg recently announced they were going to run against him in the primary, and so now he's scrambling to do something to not look completely worthless? Sorry, you don't get brownie points for putting on a performance to save your job.

What exactly do you want done and how?

I want him, and most of the DNC, to step down and be replaced by actual progressives instead of out of touch elites who have shown their incompetence far too many times

What do I want done... What a freaking question. It's like if someone crashed into your car and sent you to the hospital and they ask "well what do you want me to do about it?". We are way past the point of them being able to fix it.
