(62,325 posts)I don't hire people who make such huge errors in judgement, errors that cost so many lives. At least some of the others who were so wrong, apologized, too late for all those who are dead. But at least they acknowledged how wrong they were. This was an easy decision, yet she made the wrong decision. And worse, she, unlike some of the others, has never acknowledged it. That is the reason I supported Obama and I will never support anyone whose judgement on something as important as the LIVES of HUMAN BEINGS was so tragically.
You assume you are the only one working on getting decent candidates elected. You have no idea obviously of just how motivated people are now that they have seen the whole system play out over the past decade or so. If you were active in the Progressive movement you would have known how much work people are doing to try to get actual Progressive Dems elected from now rather than the same old DLCers with the same old corporate agenda that has so failed a majority of human beings.
Grayson would take on Hillary in a heartbeat. He has the guts needed in a leader. But the party leadership will do what they did to him the last time and he's smart enough to know that. Hillary needs the party machinary behind her as she is not at all popular among a majority of Americans. Money will work for her, that is what always has worked unfortunately. Put that money behind Grayson and he would win the nomination. But we progressives know that isn't going to happen. So, we'll work against the money which won't be easy.
