Unless Clinton somehow has more pledged delegates at the end of this process, if she gets the nomination a lot of people ARE going to sit it out, and Clinton IS going to lose. That's just a fact.
Stay calm, Jerome at al.
The Democrats are going to head off into various third parties.
And it's Hillary's attacks on the primary process, the DNC, and the 50 state strategy that has turned this into a full blown civil war.
I'm a Democrat, I believe in civil rights, I believe in counting every vote.
What do you believe in?
I believe in growing the party, not becoming a permanent minority party with the Clintons as the straw bosses protecting the status quo while civilization circles the toilet bowl.
Growing the party is your fundamental principle? That is why you are a Democrat?
How is that different from winning at any cost?
Which is not about growing the party, it's about suppressing the votes of the other guy.
Maybe if we were willing to take more of a "win at all costs" attitude we would, I don't know, win once in a while.
i just had to jump in here and say something. just so you'll know, i joined this site only a few days ago. i had heard there was a fight going on between the folks here and the kos people. it's really true! you hate each other. i thought this kind of foaming-at-the-mouth emotion was reserved for the opposition, the republicans.
i don't give out advice much, but i will here. you damn well better figure out a way to find some middle ground, and find it soon, very soon, or our next president will be a senile, war loving, republican piece of trash. put that in your pipe and smoke it.
