ETA that I debated where to put this. It's not Bernie/Hillary, so...

1. Thanks for reminding me.

I want to donate to Canova's campaign.

[Omaha Steve]

17. Donate to DU for tim here

Democratic Underground for Tim Canova FL-23: https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/du4timcanova

[octoberlib]

35. Thanks, OS!

[TBF]

2. I've been making small donations

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I am supporting him on a monthly basis.

DWS must go.

[aidbo]

4. I was curious about this as well, saw on the Florida votes website..

..that this recent vote was for presidential choice only. Thanks for the info!

[litlbilly]

5. according to the admins, the primaries are over, so no more GD-P. We'll see how over they are.

[SusanCalvin]

10. No more on the front page. It is still there. nt

[Kittycat]

12. Primaries aren't over. Discussion is not on the front.

More focus on the asshat of the reich. I saw his new low budget ad today. I think he's literally laughing at his supporters at this point. The ending line, sbout not wanting to be a punchline. Then his name pops up. Literally making himself one. I couldn't stop laughing. What a moron!

6. Voting for Alan Grayson will be the last thing I do before registering as not affiliated.

Aug. 30.

Sorry, Dad - it ain't the same as when you were a Democratic ward worker, and took me to see JFK give a campaign speech. You wouldn't fucking recognize what passes for the Democratic Party now.

[JudyM]

28. This is touching, and sadly true.

[hay rick]

31. Pointless protest.

As an NPA you will not be able to choose a Grayson over a Murphy in the future. If you don't like the candidates the party is nominating you can either get involved in campaigns of progressive candidates before the primary- or you can take your ball and go home.

I support progressive candidates. I ignore people who complain on the sidelines.

[djean111]

36. Noted.

Oh, and I can always re-register if I want to, for a specific primary.
I was not looking for your approval, really, just stating what I will do.
Oh, and I live in Florida. Almost distasteful, being registered in the same party as the party chair - Debbie Wasserman DINO, who openly campaigns for her GOP buddies. Obvious where the party is going.

[passiveporcupine]

8. Come on guys. We need to chip in for Canova.

Even if it's only $5 for those of us who are broke. Every little bit will help!

Just do it!

[appalachiablue]

9. Will do-

[NJCher]

11. Yep

Me too. This is important.

[Hoppy]

13. Just sent $15.

[stevenleser]

[SusanCalvin]

16. Whatever. Hope you are wrong. nt

[Ned_Devine]

18. Steven Leser is so nice to break away from shilling for corporate dems on tv to enlighten us here

We're so lucky

[stevenleser]

19. Hey, despite all your insults, my candidates win, so whatever makes you feel better. nt

[SusanCalvin]

20. Interesting. Stats/history? nt

[Ned_Devine]

21. Hey, if your conscience is cool with just "winning", keep on keeping on

I want more than that.

[stevenleser]

22. Well, my candidates winning is more satisfying than insulting other people.

YMMV, obviously.

[Ned_Devine]

23. What insult? Shilling for corporate dems is your job, right? Do you find your line of work insulting?

And I don't know what YMMV means.

[stevenleser]

24. Again, whatever makes you feel better for your candidate not winning. I get it.

At some point, you will hopefully figure out a way to be politically effective rather than insulting other people when you fail.

[Ned_Devine]

25. Again, there was no insult, so I'm not buying into that BS

You're a pointman for the corporate wing of the democratic party and that's how you make your money. If you find your own work to be insulting, maybe you should find another line of work.

[stevenleser]

26. You can either continue to insult me for the sin of your failure to get your candidate nominated or

you can figure out how not to fail next time. It's up to you.

[Ned_Devine]

27. Are you admitting that your line of work is insulting? If not, there has been no insult.

Sin of my failure? What is this, the old time gospel hour? Voting my conscience is neither a sin nor failure.

[stevenleser]

29. All you are doing is putting more emphasis on you being a sore loser. That's all you're doing.

And you are proving the exact reason why I thought Hillary's concession and support of Obama in 2008 was so spectacular and deserved a rethink of her character.

You're so bitter you are taking it out on someone who really had no effect on this at all, and at best you did one one millionth of the work that an actual candidate did/would do and you can't handle the loss, and she after fighting hard for two years and working 20 hours a day every day during that period was gracious in defeat.

[Ned_Devine]

32. Not even close. We were talking about Tim Canova running against DWS and you took it here

Who says I'm bitter? You say so, but I'm perfectly fine. I voted for Bernie in my state as well as phone banked and canvassed for him in several states. I will continue to support him because I believe in his message.

HRC's minute of grace in that speech in support of Obama in 2008 didn't make up for the months long racist campaign she ran against him just weeks before.

Sore loser? Not one bit. I just don't side with the corporate wing of the democratic party. To me, they represent everything that's wrong with the party. I could never do what you do because I wouldn't believe in the product I was selling. You can and do. If your conscience is cool with that, then keep doing what you're doing.

[stevenleser]

33. Please, the dumbest person on DU can see through you on this like you weren't even there.

You're not fooling anyone.

[Ned_Devine]

34. Im not trying to fool anyone.

I'm obviously a Bernie fan and definitely not a fan of the centrist/right turn the party has taken. You defend that part of the party and for some reason you find it insulting that I know this. Time for this guy to hit the hay. Take care man.

[PatrynXX]

15. I kinda figure depends on who wins the Caucus / primary

B. she might win , H. she won't win. but thats looking at it in a positive light. Fairly sure though both Hillary and Bernie supporters know she bungled this from day one. Made things much worse than they needed to be.
