2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCongratulations to the Clinton supporters with your victory.
I have no beef with you and hold no animosity. I know you feel you have done what is right for yourselves and your country. I do not like the methods the party used, especially the voter suppression in Puerto Rico and the calling of the election on the eve of 6 primaries in the stretch (election manipulation). We still think you would win, we just wanted a place at the table this time and thus our desire to get to the convention (which is why we weren't giving in). After all this, I will do some self reflection as to remain in the party or not. Either way, if I'm out, I'll still be able to work with you for a better country. Have a great day and see you in the by and by.That Guy 888

I want to work for a better country too, not sure yet if that means helping change the Dems, or leaving them.

(85,996 posts)...so I'll respond, point blank.
Sanders is responsible for poll closures in Puerto Rico.
The news organizations called the election, not the 'party.'
I really don't look forward to more revisionist bull like this.
Didn't you used to be a republican? Maybe there is somewhere else better suited to your politics.

(52,589 posts)All the coordination to not just win, but demoralize and smear was real rather you believe it or not. That being said, I don't blame you if fell for it as politics can be emotional with all the back and forth. Something to think about though if you will, I'm a former precinct treasurer, state delegate for Barack Obama, and a state Democratic Party platform writer. Don't let primary anger get to you. I'm doing my best at working on that myself. Take care of yourself.

(50,269 posts)Then I read some posts. Forget about it. They got an extra dose of nasty this morning. Apparently winning isn't good enough for them.
