I don't know what you're seeing, if anything the side that is admonishing the DNC's choices right now aren't the ones trying to repeat 2016.
Really??? Could've sworn that people on here are actively trying to denigrate the apparent nominee that won the most pledged delegates through a democratic system of selecting a nominee. I know someone else (if not you) will bring up that the convention hasn't happened yet, so Biden should step down and allow someone else to be selected in his place. In my (logical) opinion, it's morally imperative that Trump be defeated, and this move would be anathema to that goal.
It's adds unnecessary risk to achieving that goal by telling people that all the primary votes for Biden up to now didn't matter, but still go along with the person that a select few will choose in a convention hall. That is the only realistic alternative to what we have now.
The only one.
Even if they selected Warren (my preferred candidate), I know that it will be an uphill battle to get voters enthusiastic about voting for her in November. Not for us in this thread that understands the importance of being rid of Trump, but for John and Jane Q. Voter that feel like their votes won't matter.
"No big deal"? How many accused sexual assaulters have you employed?
Also please don't compare sexual assault to "eating crackers".
I don't like to put my private business out in a public forum, but I will just this once. I was abused as a child. I'm married with a child of my own, but I still have difficulties being intimate with my wife at times. I know what it feels like to be in a powerless position and have to be around someone abusive and more powerful than you and have to pretend that everything's okay.
In the context of THIS scenario and THIS election, this is no big deal. That's not saying that this would never be a problem in any other circumstance, however.
No. And Clinton is rightfully hated, don't come with shit.
Please, explain why she is "rightfully hated". For losing an election? For staying married to a cheater? For allowing his behavior? Or is it just for her voting record while in the senate? Or for what she did as Secretary of State?
Look, I want our politics to be clean and pure. But TODAY, our politics are downright dirty and vile. All we can do is vote for and support people who are willing to change that system. Even though Bernie lost twice now, his policy and ideas have become a major part at the Democrat Party platform. That's a win for the movement, and a necessary step in reaching the ultimate goal of constantly reminding those that we elect that they work for us and not for big corporations and billionaires.
