2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm taking a break from my break to give some of the reasons I'm having difficulty with everything.
Things shouldn't be this hard for people of conscience.

(89,498 posts)...just the smear of this decades-long, liberal Democrat?
FFS, this is the Sanders campaign in spades.

bigtree
(89,498 posts)...before we even know what the proposals are and what influence he has on what.
This fits in with the rest of the innuendo used against Hillary. A smear. Don't expect me to give you a debate on it's merits. I'm not interested in fighting Sanders campaign nonsense any more. It's over, but I can see the desire here to continue the campaign into the convention.
Here's a clue. Convention platforms are pablum. You're tilting at windmills.

(89,498 posts)...cruel folks.
He was a rather tragic figure (almost heroic, in the most sympathetic view), although, he seemed to redeem himself as he progressed with his displays of valiance which seemed to strengthen him; albeit in vain. (I'm remembering this, so I'm not positive I'm relating it accurately.)
All 'tilting at windmills' really represents in the context I used it is attacking imaginary enemies.

It is a civil war against despits like Frank , Hillary & Romney ...that must be fought..if we are to have any hope

(52,589 posts)Never expect them to be mine.
bigtree
(89,498 posts)...and you can't make an informed judgement on that by my refusal to support Bernie Sanders as our nominee.
So many folks opposing Hillary here have created their own narrative and spend their political capital arguing against all of that.
Are we also 'victims' of Sanders' vote to deregulate derivatives?

He's just a jerk.

So, you popped up on this thread trolling a poster, to complain about trolling?

(11,546 posts)which I think the Democratic party is sorely lacking. After Nevada, all of the voter supporession/election fraud, the way that they continually either change the rules to fit their narrative or suppress the rights of others (see Nevada), I don't think the Democratic party can be called the party with a conscience anymore.

mmonk
(52,589 posts)I came back to look at a post my son told me to look at. Then I saw an accusation in this thread. I'm trying to figure out where it came from. You people are losing your minds.

(290 posts)What did they bully you on? Just curious
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)Apparently news to me, I am not an immigrant who grew up in Mexico City, or a Latina or Jew.
That is just the last one. Ohio is a great state to grow up at. At this point I just laugh at the bullies.
