wyldwolf: 184. this is surprising only if you don't remember every election in our country's history

AlbertCat: 192. Oh well then....

Everybody does it"....

So you admit she's running a dirty campaign, and you don't care.

Machiavellian business as usual.

Just what Sanders' people are sick of.

No vision of a better future, just more of the same GOP designed crap.

wyldwolf: 197. Oh well, then

So you admit she's running a dirty campaign, and you don't care.

I admit she's running a political campaign. Political newbes who enter the fray are not the arbiters of how dirty campaigns are defined.

AlbertCat: 200. I admit she's running a political campaign.

Weak.

So is Sanders.

wyldwolf: 204. but it's Sanders followers screaming about dirty politics and tricks...

... when it's actually political business as usual.

AlbertCat: 220. Sanders supporters...

... are sick of business as usual.

wyldwolf: 223. that may be so, but that doesn't mean it's 'dirty politics.'

1. If they win the Dem nomination this way, their next task will be GOTV in the GE.

People whose progressive left politics has been ratfucked and swiftboated for a solid year won't be eager to vote for the person who did it. That's just a fact. Without the left, the Dem party will be routed.

But they've chosen to go this route.

3. They are desperate about protecting the establishment

Protecting the establishment is more important than losing in November.

2. Hillary: It's only 'dirty politics' if the OTHER candidate does it. I'm exempt. nt

4. This is HilLIARY's LAST chance

They will take the whole party down just for the chance of her winning.

5. If

If Clinton does win the nomination many will hold their nose and vote for her but you will not see them going out to campaign for her. She will have to rely on what she has now and that won't be enough for the general election.

6. and they will blame US for not voting for their

lying, dirty, unqualified candidate.

I will work my butt off for Bernie but if he is not nominated, I'm afraid that we're looking at a Repub presidency. Even IF Hillary is elected President (which will never happen)!!

7. The Clintons are DIRTY. They lie about him... he just needs to tell the truth about her. It's time.

8. Just a thought

Taking a 'pro' position is always better than an 'anti' position, it usually fares better.

It's been upsetting lately and we need to express our disappointment for sure, I just don't want to cross that line into 'anti' territory. That is what they want. That's the fight they know and can win.
