I am really tired of anti Democratic shit.

Anyone else? The absurd lies that we all know are absurd lies, but like, word wars are gonna win it.

And the level of insult and attack are at a whole new level of absurd. A mix of Iraqi Bob, and Bushco years. Our Democratic primary, or Party has never been at this level. Republicans? You Betcha, , Lol. But, not Dems. This is one of the things I was really looking forward to with the Democratic primary. Adult conversations, in adult manners.

This has been a surprisingly different kind of primary.

One more month, there about.....

but more like the type of car and how people drive it. You now, gas guzzlers versus electrics, driving with consideration for the law, pedestrians and other motorist, versus driving like you are in a Mad Max movie.

A person can't claim to be a liberal, yet support eternal war, war crimes, deregulation, reckless fossil fuel use, restrictions on abortion, the death penalty, the current prison system, etc.

It is possible to disagree on one or two of these issues and still claim to be a liberal, but once you get beyond to, the argument gets weaker and weaker.

Ignorance is within all of us, but when you start believing that tripe about "you must not be a Democrat" IF you don't support the DLC or DWS, that is the BIGGEST hook, line and sinker lie every believed.

That is a lie repeated over and over and over, and it's high time someone called it for what it is. If you defend that as an insult, you need to do a little soul searching.

This is an abomination to thinking liberal and progressives everywhere, and if you can't see how it's already RUINING the Democratic party, then you better take off those blinders soon.

I suppose one can't blame those who don't understand because they're too busy forgetting to take their blinders off.

Every comment that comes across about loud and threatening protesting delegates at the state convention in NV is one more piece of evidence that people cover their ears, eyes and go, "lah-lah-lah-I-can't-hear-you!" when IN FACT, THESE THINGS DID NOT HAPPEN.

You get it now? No. No, you don't... You ignore that actual footage, then spin with a red face and foam at the mouth. You must really not like the fact that people congregating at an actual delegation who expected Robert's Rules NOT to be thrown out, were actually not going to let it go un-noticed.

No, we are not coiled up in a little ball in submission. We actually are showing the truth, which is so refreshing compared to liars who are supposed to represent us ... just like THIS one... Yeah, she's saying hello to us all...

With a DC Federal Judge appointed by Clinton making comments after the depositions, there may be some dusting off of the indifference.

Kind of like defending a cheating spouse, at some point in time it's just not worth the effort any more. Just leave, or stay...consequences vary.

1. Hillary is fully in support of LGBT rights and I agree with her
2. I agree with her no comment.
3. I support some of Patriot Act and oppose some.
4. I agree with her.
5. That is not a correct portrayal of Hillary's positions.
6. Again, not a correct portrayal of Hillary's positions.
7. Again, not a correct portrayal of Hillary's positions. Many liberal economists think her plan to reign in Wall Street abuses is better than Bernies.
8. I am neutral on Free Trade. It's more complicated than a simple yes or no.
9. Not an accurate portrayal of contributions to Hillary. Bernie says he wants money out of campaigns but has raised a ton.
10. Not an accurate portrayal of Hillary's positions on climate change.
11. I am against Keystone, but its not high on my list of priorities.

"We don't want your vote."
"Aww, no unicorn for you."
"It's math."
"Feel the math."
"It's math, stupid."
"That's where the boys are."
"You aren't a real democrat."
"Grow up."
"Get over your tantrum."
"Stop acting like a spoiled brat."
"We're gonna need more foil."
"You're wasting your time."

"we" gave up all pretext that we're liberals, progressives, and/or Democrats.

I think a lot of it comes from people pretending to be someone they aren't. The problem is that it's becoming more difficult to tell who they might be in the barrage of nonsense that gets posted.

Regardless of being in opposite camps, on all other issues, I have been in agreement with you> That is important.

You are solid with women issues and I thank and appreciate that.

I like who you are.

I mean.... you are a favorite. I do not like that you feel this way. But, I respect your position. How you see things.

I'm frustrated. I look towards November, and I see two options for progressivism: "lose" and "lose harder." And I look around, and I see a bunch of people who seem perfectly happy, even elated by that.



I'm not "Bernie or Bust" - it's a stupid movement, Bernie isn't going to jump the ticket (and couldn't get on ballots if he tried) and write-ins are literal throwaway votes. But I can't say for certain what I'll do come November. I can't vote agaisnt myself, is the thing.

I've sworn them off. If they want to nominate a weathervane that believe that everything up to the bodily autonomy of women is up for negotiation, then they can elect that weathervane without me.

My general election vote belongs to Bernie Sanders.

It is anti-truth, however, to keep insisting that Bernie doesn't care about defending women, LGBTQ people, or POC. He always cared just as much about those battles as he does about economic justice, and there is NO conflict between the struggles for "economic justice" and the struggles for "social justice". We are all committed to justice for all.

As long as Democratic factions are locking antlers, the right wing gets a breather and maybe an uptick in a poll somewhere.

The Republican tsunami of serious shit is headed this way -- Democrats need to brace for it, and not waste this critical time by clobbering each other. It just feeds the opposition, as if they needed any help with going negative.

Heavy sigh.

supporter.

I mean, who freaking cares that the man went to jail, right? Who CARES that he has a mug shot now that's been plastered all over the freaking universe by now, right?

What he did is INFINITELY worse than the HUNDREDS of Sanders supporters who rushed the stage at the Nevada convention, who left profane messages including death threats and calling a woman a "cunt" on her voice mail, who ripped up a child's Hillary sign and screamed profanities YET AGAIN at Hillary supporters who left a pro-Hillary rally, who were arrested for threatening a public servant, who posted the home phone numbers of superdelegates so that anything at all could happen to them, and who called a sitting Senator a "bitch" before the entire world?

That one guy WHO WENT TO JAIL for beating up a Sanders supporter is INFINITELY worse than all of those HUNDREDS of Sanders supporters. One guy, one BLACK guy, is obviously infinitely greater than the hundreds of Sanders supporters with multiple screws loose. Is this that pesky #berniemath shit again???
