(62,325 posts)only Politicians should be planning for the future while the voters should wait until they are told who their choices are? We certainly have had experience with that tactic in the past and no thanks, let them know now what we will accept and will not accept.
And if you are upset over the negative reaction to Hillary, then blame whoever began her campaign four years in advance and telling us, here on DU that we had no other choices. We told them it was too early to declare her the winner but they apparently were on a mission and they are receiving the honest reaction to their attempts to push someone on the voters they did not choose three years in advance of the election.
Your anger is misdirected. And please do not presume to know what other DUers are doing regarding their choices of candidates. I do not know a single DUer who has not been actively involved in elections since I first came here over eight years ago. WE ARE putting our time and money where our mouths are and if you want 'piece'/'peace' then politics is not where to find it. You presume that only you have the right to be 'left alone'? It hasn't occurred to you that WE are sick and tired of having Hillary pushed down our throats every single day.
Focus on 2014 instead of trying to foist someone on the voters before we even get to the mid terms. We want ONLY progressive candidates with a record, which doesn't include voting for every war that comes along, from now on.
You don't seem comfortable with the 'left' but haven't responded to my question wrt what, since it isn't the left, your affiliation is. I want a Left Wing Candidate on major issues which is why I am a Democrat.
