3. So will you be leaving DU on Labor Day, 2016?

Because your kind of post is amongst the most insidious that I have seen on this forum recently. To state that one would not vote for a putative Democratic candidate if they were nominated, to me, goes against everything Democratic Underground stands for, the support of Democratic candidates. Christ, NYC_SKP, it's in the TOS.

Myself, I have not, and will not, state who my preference here, at least until the primary season is well on. Then, I pledge to support any party candidate nominated in our democratic process.

But, here we are, a full fucking 18 months before the election and we apparently have here people who would willingly tear a party apart simply because they would prefer one candidate not get the nomination.

Consider this, my friend. For decades, the main GOP strategy has been to try to win by tearing the Democratic candidate down. Why would any Democrat want to use that strategy?

For Christ sakes, if you like a candidate, support them. Advocate for them. But you gain nothing by tearing down a perceived opponent Democrat except the tearing down of all Democrats. To do so is to play into the hands of the GOP, something no DUer should ever do (and IMHO remain in good stead here).

Relax for a bit. Kick your shoes off. Have a beer, or a glass of wine, or smoke a joint. Stop being so fucking divisive!

It invites the question:
What the fuck are you trying to accomplish here?

Sorry for being so surly. I often appreciate your posts, but not so much recently.

Hopefully, my regards.
