What fresh hells? William Rivers Pitt

[Hortensis]

138. Sad, but tRump and all that's happened since are his biggest legacy.

What's more meaningful -- will go down in thick histories about HOW it happened? : Loyally admiring the Progressive candidate no matter what he did? Or helping elect tRump/Repubilcans by helping corrupt the understanding and faith in the Democratic Party of millions of potential voters, some of whom will continue to act out his influence long after he's gone, maybe the rest of their lives?

This article was written while mentally screwed-over Sanders supporters were angrily shouting their belief that Democrats had stolen the nomination at the Democratic National Convention. AND while knowing tRump was the Republican nominee for president, one election from the Oval Office. My god! How could he?

I'm sorry he died, above all because his little daughter has lost her father.

But at the time he wrote this article, the candidate who was up to his standard had already claimed dozens of state Democratic primaries had been "rigged" (sound familiar?), had already filed and dropped many fake, baseless lawsuits as part of slandering his opponent and the party (misuse of courts sound familiar?), and had already repeatedly promised to overset the electoral sovereignty of the 30M Democrats who voted, plus all who didn't, by trying to have himself illicitly named as the Democratic Party nominee by superdelegates (sound like something tRump tried to do?).

And Pitt supported all this instead of denouncing it and taking a stand to protect democracy and the right of the people to decide.

It's not somehow now all okay. Being a nice guy doesn't make it okay. It'll never just be okay. Pitt really should have to live with the consequences of kicking at the supports of our democracy, along with the rest of us and all our loved ones. Among other big reasons, because the well over 1M Americans who've died dreadfully in the resultant Republican-promoted holocaust can't.
