We have reached "Anger." Only a step away. nt

[reformist2]

1. We cannot have "anger" anymore. It's too dangerous. Maybe we should tranquilize everyone?

[seabeyond]

5. And your... On the verge of violence. Do explain.

[reformist2]

8. No I'm not. Your post is uncalled for.

[seabeyond]

12. You said it in an OP. Am I wrong? I thought it was you. I will check and delete if it was another.

[reformist2]

17. I was speaking about delegates in NV, many who seemed very angry.

[seabeyond]

23. I saw the video, hadn't seen before. Wasn't that interested. It was atrocious. Refusal to allow

Speaker to talk, denying everyones right to process. The slurs, aggressiveness, intimidation and threat from mob... Is not something we have to put up with or accept. It is simple UNacceptable and tgere is no justifying tgat behavior. As an old woman I so not have to feel threatened to cast my vote or participate in the system.

[msanthrope]

11. The only anger I see is from a minority of supporters of a failed candidate.

I suspect the Walt Starr approach will appeal to many of them.

[Armstead]

18. Maybe you need a good pair of glasses.

[pinebox]

2. I just read a reply in a thread here

where one Hillary supporter is calling out to incite Bernie supporters into violence during the DNC.
You and I may not agree on much but that is seriously messed up....
People need to flippin' chill.

[seabeyond]

3. To acceptance. Lordy let's get there. An op stating verge of violence is a right in participating on

Politics, exercising our right to vote. We have to gauge whether we are physically in threat because the verge of violence is acceptable. wtf has happened with these people to argue this.

[reformist2]

6. I'm not justifying violence. But if you make anger unacceptable, you're going down a slippery slope.

[seabeyond]

7. You justified, excused, dismissed "verge of violence".

Just not the actual violence. Intimidation? Fine. Bullying with physical threat? Fine.

Just do not follow tegu with violence. That argument makes sense?

[reformist2]

13. I said that this was probably the feeling of some in the crowd. But they restrained themselves.

My point is that with real democracy you often see strong feelings. And some may be scared by that, but you have to let people speak out. If you don't trust the people to control themselves, then you are essentially a Republican at heart.

[seabeyond]

15. Caucus... There to vote. People should be able to do tgat without threat to physical body.

[reformist2]

22. Nobody was threatened. Many were scared by all the shouting, and they don't want to allow that.

[seabeyond]

27. You saw it... Don't back pedal, you saw what I did. Verge of violence. That is a threat.

[riversedge]

29. Yelling,screaming, calling Boxer -a US Senator a B***h is not letting just speaking out -and doing

it while Boxer was speaking was rude. Many Sanders supporters were out of line. How would like it if Clinton supporters had done that when Nina Turner was speaking.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. You think Boxer is new to this?

Because she did flip the crowd on the way out and she told "Fuck You."

Really, we need to have a conversation of how you all need safe spaces. and by all means, STAY AWAY from your board meetings, they can get actually more heated.

My goodness what you saw there was well, POLITICS

[seabeyond]

34. It is ok to use sexist slurs toward our women? Is the N word cool toward Obama, because people are

pissed?

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. You also need safe spaces? Of course you do

either you are new to politics, or you are pretending, but this is common. As to the terms used. damn it, that was not the worst I have ever heard at a heated meeting. In fact, while up there, it really was mild compared to some of it.

Do you need some lactaid and a gluten free cookie and nut free of course as well in that safe space of yours?

I cover politics, this was not that bad actually. It is fun when the cops produce flexi cuffs, gas masks and tear gas in city council and actually CITE people. They came THIS CLOSE to arresting people Since none was cited, this is normal heated politics

[seabeyond]

36. Do lecture me on what a progressive is. Oh, a bunch of young men aggressive yelling

Sexist/racist slurs. Regardless who you support nadin, some things remain a consistent which you fail in dismissing. First.

Second. I need a safe place? Fuck ya. I need a safe place to causus my vote where threat to physical body doesn't happen.

Are you suggesting that makes me weak not wanting to be a part of the threat of physical violence to vote?

[nadinbrzezinski]

39. Look lady, I have myself broken barriers

and language is the least of the problems you have when actually breaking into a male dominated environment, and I do not consider you a liberal or a progressive. There, I said it.

[seabeyond]

40. Look woman, you told me I was weak that progressives should have boundaries. Racist/sexist

slurs are simply not ok and not a matter of a fuckin' "safe" place.

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. Good luck with that

yup, safe space language. College kids do that often. So should I expect now talk of oppression and supremacy? Maybe methods of oppression?

In the real wold where I cover politics, that is not going happen. Good luck though, I mean it. What happened in Nevada was actually not as bad as I have seen. Once I was looking at the window, the only way out. It was fun.

[seabeyond]

42. Good luck with what Naden? Expect to vote without threat to body?

[Fawke Em]

19. Many of us will never accept Clinton.

She's horrible.

[seabeyond]

26. Who cares. Still no right throwing tantrums to the extent of on "the verge of violence". I do have

A right to participate without threat.

[IdaBriggs]

4. I'm not angry anymore. I expect Monday to be a very interesting day.

[Fawke Em]

20. What happens Monday?

[Armstead]

21. Monday?

[msanthrope]

37. Fitzmas? nt

[Shemp Howard]

9. I'm certainly angry.

The primaries are not over! No one has reached a pledged delegate majority, yet. Nevertheless, the establishment is calling for Sanders to give up and just go away. And Bernie's supporters are called "idiots" for not accepting that.

OK, I'm an idiot. I will continue to support Bernie, at least until the convention is over.

[azurnoir]

14. well I'm glad ya'll are getting there

[insta8er]

16. Are you calling for something? if so then please don't keep us in suspense.

[lumberjack_jeff]

24. One step away from what?

Personally, I think Malcom X was right.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

25. The next step will be laughter.

At the thought of voting for Trump or Hillary.

[Prism]

28. Is this another unity post?

Another voice from the comfortable for the status quo heard.

Then you'll wonder why people are irritable and pretend outrage when they react as all humans do.

Are you having fun?

It's like watching folks hearing they're allowed to put a boot in people's faces and rushing out to DSW to grab a pair.

Neat for you.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. YAY, UNITY

not that I care at all, but it is hilarious

[Aerows]

31. Damn right we've reached anger.

The steps going forward are unlikely to take place the way you imagine they will.

"The arc of the moral universe is slow, but it bends towards justice." - MLK

[COLGATE4]

33. But WHAT a step. The anger, denial and just vituperative howling

and alerting is over the damned top. Can't wait until June 7 when we can finally get some respite.

[msanthrope]

38. The flameouts write themselves. nt
