(40,416 posts)They won't take "no" for an answer.
But I am not angry. I am, however, passionate and am not afraid to express that. So I often use sarcasm, satire, and some invective to get a point across.
Here's the deal with 2016. Whichever President is elected that year, we will want there to be a Democratic Congress and Senate. Furthermore, the Republicans are doing great damage in the state legislatures all across the nation.
Choose your favorite 2016 candidate. Let's say Warren. What good will she (or any President) do with no support in Congress, no support in state legislatures, no support from governors?
That's why many of us get sick and tired of 2016 posts when we won't even know who's going to run for two years.
Forgive my passion. But 2016 threads now are nothing but useless gum flapping.
We need to start working now to see to it that any 2016 Democratic candidate has a national political environment conducive to both getting elected and then getting shit done. We won't get that done flapping our gums about a putative candidate who has repeatedly signaled that she is not the least bit interested in the White House. Maybe she should carry around a baseball bat so that she can take on both the bankers and the Warren 2016 delusionals.
