(8,652 posts)I'm here because it's called DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND.
Not Socialist Underground, or Independent Underground. it's not a blog to vent our frustrations that hurt our chances in November.
If Bernie had won the primary, I would be singing his praises, just as I did for Barak in 2008 when my chosen candidate lost out.
I respect the Democratic party and I know that elections have consequences. You see, I've been politically active since 1968, when I knocked on doors in Hew Hampshire for Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy at 16 years old.
Don't give me that respect garbage. This is as close to a non-shooting war as we're going to get.
I remember 2000 when naïve people voted for Nader with the same crap slogan "they're all the same". They aren't all the same. Nixon was worse than Humphrey, Reagan was worse than Carter, Bush was worse than Clinton and you get my point.
There has never, ever, ever, in my lifetime (63 years old), ever been a more frightening, dangerous candidate to get this close to the Presidency than Donald Trump.
Any Democrat who doesn't do everything they can to defeat this man will regret the day they sat on their hands.
All it takes for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.
