Party infighting is a result. A result of what some deem bad actions and policies, while others condone them. I will not unify with a fracking platform. I will not unify with a regime change platform. I will not unify with a Wall St. platform. Or a private prison platform. Should be fairly easy to understand.

as shown. Saying Clinton has ethics if kind of funny when you leave out the word that would most commonly go with it if elected. Investigation.

Hillary Clinton called Obama a Republican, tried to tie him to Tony Rezko, repeated the Jeremiah Wright controversy, said whites wouldn't vote for him, and still, still, unified the party.

Even if she doesn't get 'benefit' from it, the intent was to benefit from it ... So they failed? ... It doesn't mean they didn't try ...

Their intent is to deceive ... To defraud ... To cheat ...

The Clinton's have really shown themselves to be quite the Machiavellians this election season ...

Sneaky, dishonest FUCKS that they are ...

I will NEVER vote for those fuckwits ... Ever ....

First, the election. .. THEN party unity ... These are power hungry people ... They want to win! ... Unity doesn't matter if you aren't in the driver's seat ...

You are one of the few Hillary supporters I can still see ... At least you are sane

Pretending to be a Sanders supporter or even a Clintonite pretending to be a Sanders supporter.

It's not Hillary and it's not Bernie so doesn't affect my preference for Presidedent

40. The fracturing of the Democratic party is because of poor decisions by party leadership.
Tue May 17, 2016, 09:39 PM
May 2016

Voters respond to what is presented by the party apparatus and media.

The DNC failed to supply a range of candidates and treated Hillary Clinton as an incumbent and presumptive nominee.

Hillary Clinton was forced upon us despite the fact of her high unfavorable ratings within the party.

No one can take the money Clinton and The Clinton Foundation took without being influenced after the payments for speeches and donations to the foundation.

Think Libya, Iraq, Honduras, Syria (staged and weaponized from Libya) plus fracking.

Look at this and look at your heart and tell yourself Hillary Clinton has the judgement and character to be CIC or POTUS:



I am pretty well convinced that the neo-liberals and neo-conservatives that have captured the Democratic party as a political vehicle for power want the anti-war liberal Democrats to leave so as to carry on the traditions of Reagan, the Bushes, Bill Clinton, and
to a lesser extent POTUS Obama.

So I can see why people are frustrated and angry. I wouldn't make those calls but as long as people are not violent nor threaten violence there is little else to do.

I don't defend the behavior at all but the "poor" behavior is minor compared to the lives lost or impacted by neo-liberals.

You are smarter than your stance.

Unless that person wants to do business with that Rep.

I guess that 'flip a super-delegate' plan has failed.

What kind of person? A fucking coward.
