(1,415 posts)But we must not take anything for granted. We have to work like we are 20 points behind. The GOP will pull out all the stops to win this thing and plus Bernie could surpisr and win Iowa and NH. So who knows what could happen !!

(24,544 posts)This web site has shit on all things Obama since before he was even sworn in.
ANYONE that thinks these people who are actually stooping to the level of supporting Trump in his attacks on Hillary and attacking Hillary for the Sanders' campaign intrusion of her data, won't crap on her the same way is deep in denial. It will be the same shit like it's been here. Day after day of hair on fire stupidity and the bigger the idiocy, the more recs and fans the person will get and the louder the mourning will be when they are inevitably tombstoned the way that they ALWAYS are.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)You'll know them by their almost visceral hatred for all Democrats, the DNC, and the Democratic Party as a whole. And yet, while they snicker behind their keyboards, they'll deny they're anything but "true Democrats!!11".

(4,377 posts)Ignore the left for decades, spit on everything they stand for and call them every name under the sun if they dare to question the parties slide to the right, and yet come election day once again you'll be demanding their vote because 'otherwise it's their fault a Republican will win'.
highprincipleswork
(3,111 posts)just because Republicans and co-opted Democrats tell them that's the way it's got to be. Who continue to deny the wavering and anti-Progressive policies of the frontrunning candidate. Why? I don't know. Because she's a woman? Because they just like to feel like a winner, and adopt a superior know it all attitude because she has the best name recognition in a questionable nomination process? Because they think it's unreasonable to actually vote for what you want, versus the very little you've decided is all you can reasonably get?
I mean, that is if this election result really comes about, which is not at all clear!

(15,438 posts)The Party Unity My A$$ crowd are alive and well...but at least they'll tone it down a lot or disappear or get reeeeeeal creative with wording their posts in order not to be PPR'd after Hillary Clinton wins Iowa.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Assuming she wins Iowa at all, and she's not doing all that well there right now.
Why do you folks think that taunting the people whose votes your candidate will need in the fall if she IS nominated is going to get those votes to turn out in the fall. You can't just DEMAND their support, y'know.
Sad that you are so fixated on making sure we nominate ANOTHER non-progressive.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)And those will end or they risk being PPR'd.
Clinton supporters aren't the ones taunting. We'll vigorously defend our choice and our preferred candidate, but all the taunting and patronizing posts begin with posts from Sanders supporters who appear to have the same personality as Jeff Weaver. And that's not a compliment.
And nobody's "demanding" support for their preferred candidate other than Sanders supporters.
What's really sad is, you're so fixated on a do-nothing self-proclaimed progressive whose made NO friends in Congress in his 25 years there that his running for the presidency reeks of simple ego-tripping. You're supporting a man who knows that all his promises to you and his supporters will amount to NOTHING because all of them fall under the purview of Congress' constitutional powers, not the president's and, as I've noted above, he's made NO friends there so his policies aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Sanders a progressive? With NO friends and allies in Congress, the only thing that will make him a progressive is his progress in political power for himself, from going from U.S. Rep., to U.S. Senator, to U.S. President. And that's it.

(3,649 posts)That's really impressive. Just last week she was only the Democratic Nominee. She must have this miraculous ability to win elections without anybody casting a vote. Oh wait...

kenfrequed
(7,865 posts)And she is not going to win New Hampshire.
After those two states her proxies in the media will start saying how Iowa and New Hampshire are irrelevant and that we should really be looking at South Carolina. The groundwork for that has already been set up.
It is kind of sad since South Carolina seems to be the state that candidates of all parties go to roll around in the mud and sell their souls. Maybe it has something to do with being the first big media-buy or something. Who can say.

(1,095 posts)It's so time to take the fight to the real enemy. Yes, I mean enemy.
Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Iowa is still up for grabs and so is New Hampshire.
And HRC isn't entitled to anything, yet.
The enemy is the toxic mix of racism, greed, war and corporate control of life known as the status quo. At this point, it doesn't look as though your candidate cares about fighting THAT enemy at all.

Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)Face it...this will go down to the wire and Bernie will have a ton of delegates in Philly. This will not be 2004, because that race proved that bland, empty, coronation conventions don't get us elected.

I feel pretty good about keeping the WH and taking the senate back and making gains in the house.
