If you don't want regular reminders of how trump and HRC differs

Despite the lies of people like Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein and Cenk, you should probably block me now.

I'm going to give as many reminders as possible over the next Four years so that in 2020, we don't kill our own candidate by being dumb enough to fall prey to the Putin, Assange, Comey, Susan Sarandon and Jill stein's of the world.

I won't stop.

I think that's a great point. If you think HRC is a republican what are you doing here?

It's important and has absolutely nothing to do with the primaries. Know those trying to act like your op and ones like it are about the primaries by their words. They are not our friends and are every bit as divisive as Trump and his minions. Morally and intellectually bankrupt.

Perhaps the echo chamber here won't benefit from your reminders as much as other sources. Either way, have at it.

Thinking people could be shamed into voting against Trump.

Care to provide verifiable examples in which Cenk lied about something?

Anybody who didn't vote for Hillary should be ashamed. They were either willfully ignorant or they proudly embraced fascism.

They lied.

If they could not see an ocean of difference they lied.

It's the narcissism of the alt left that caused this. HRC won a primary by 12 % and hence was the only one to stop trump. But little snowflakes falsely equated DJT and HRC and led us to this horror.


The dem base picked her, and the dem base is not the center. They are just not the narcissistic alt left.

Obama had a positive message in 2008. He won because people wanted to be for him, regardless of who his opponent was.
This time, I saw all variations "vote for us or you suck" all over social media. It doesn't work. People in the Dem base may not care, but
undecided voters do.

And yes, I voted for HRC, as I voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, and Kerry in 2004.

These faux progressives pretty much expected us on the center-left to beg and plead for their votes, all while hurling insults at us that were so vicious, they would make a right-winger blush. "Listen to us" they would say, conveniently ignoring the millions who voted for HRC, not to mention the numerous minority groups being attacked by Trump.

If you voted for anyone OTHER than HRC on November 8th you should forever be ashamed of yourself, seriously. This Trump fiasco which we might not survive - - you helped build it.

Do you think we all need constant reminders of that because we are likely to forget it without those reminders? While I suppose that there are a few DU members, given the tens of thousands who are registered here, who are confused about that concept, if this will be a major theme of yours here for four years how many do you think that will be educating? Now if instead you are speaking to those who believe that Hilary Clinton was not the best candidate who Democrats could have nominated last year, yes there are still many of those here. And no doubt there will once again be Democratic primaries in 2020, unless anyone is advocating for abolishing them and wants to start a movement to that effect.
