Seems like the purity left cares about "teaching a lesson" more than they do about working towards victory...
So-called 'leftists' cheering for Dems to lose? Where have I seen THAT before??

Can I ask a stupidly simple but honest question?
Between all the hacking, spies, informants, leakers, disgruntled staffers, gossip, exposes, criticism and just general true-but-embarrassing shit, WHY is every facet of DNC operations public knowledge while the RNC gets free reign? I can't even remember the last time the RNC was in the regular news cycle...

WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Reuters) - When Mike Sylvester entered a career training center earlier this year in southwestern Pennsylvania, he found more than one hundred federally funded courses covering everything from computer programming to nursing.
He settled instead on something familiar: a coal mining course.
I think there is a coal comeback, said the 33-year-old son of a miner.
Despite broad consensus about coals bleak future, a years-long effort to diversify the economy of this hard-hit region away from mining is stumbling, with Obama-era jobs retraining classes undersubscribed and future programs at risk under President Donald Trumps proposed 2018 budget.
Trump has promised to revive coal by rolling back environmental regulations and moved to repeal Obama-era curbs on carbon emissions from power plants.
I have a lot of faith in President Trump, Sylvester said.

We all know this story will end in tragedy, and sadly we all know Fox News will tell him it's all the fault of the Dems...
I know we're not allowed to say it, but this seems really FUCKING DUMB
