Some Perspective From An Older Progressive Voter on Democratic Presidential Primaries.

Posted by Merlin 1963 at Daily Kos

..................

I’ve seen circular firing squads after many of Democratic losses in the past. But have we already lost and no one told me? If that is the case, there is no circular firing squad.

What we are having instead is a debate about the issues. And if your candidate has a voting record, he/she is going to have that examined. Yes, we are all going to get passionate. And verbal punches are going to thrown around by supporters. Hell, I’ve done it.

But I have never sat out an election because my favored candidate didn’t get the nomination. Here is my list of the candidates I have supported that have not gotten the nod:

Gary Hart in 1984.
Joe Biden in 1988.
No one in 1992 was my favorite, and I pulled the lever for Clinton in the primary because there was no one else by then.
Bill Bradley in 2000.
Howard Dean in 2004.
Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Bernie Sanders in 2016

Yeah, great political judgment on my part. But I voted for all the Democratic nominees. One thing to keep in mind with most of the races is that Democrats relentlessly bitched that “We really do not have many choices!”

We have a mind boggling number of choices in this election!

But now that we have choices, choices, and more choices, we are to be panicked into picking the most “electable” candidate? Could we please at least see the candidates in a debate first? If my candidate burns out, yes, I will be bummed. But I have been bummed plenty of times.

We have time to debate and choose a Democratic candidate.

Dear Trump Suporters: "We the people will never-ever forgive you"

I do not think I have seen a better summary than this from Kevin Karstens. BRAVO!

Merrick Fucking Garland says hi.

Biden at a fundraiser tonight, on his desire to work with the Republican Party post Trump.

“With Trump gone you’re going to begin to see things change. Because these folks know better. They know this isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing."
