Do not equate a potential nominee of your party to a "bowl of shit" if you have any desire to represent that party in the future. Just sayin
And of course there are others, but this one sticks out.
I hope we never ever see that level of vitriol again in our Democratic Party.

(1,725 posts)Most voters didn't know she had said that, and that she had agreed that James Clyburn was "stupid." What dumbass things to say. Bet those ads changed a lot of minds. And Turner had the audacity to call them "lies" and dirty ads. No... they were simple QUOTES, Nina, in YOUR own voice.
So happy tonight!

(42,862 posts)... and being a "party-switcher" is another one. And voting for Jill Stein is another. Refusing to endorse Joe Biden is another. Refusing to vote for the party's nominee (twice) is another.

(25,128 posts)The lesson is not to fall for populist crap about a movement/revolution because you imagine Democrats are corrupt immoral evil non-progressive establishment corporatists bribed to ignore the working/middle class, not true Democrats but the same as Republicans except for some "identity politics" and must be replaced, the party "transformed" because The People agree with the populists. Duh.
