(2,479 posts)At first I thought you were a Sanders voter, who tried to warn Democrats Hillary wasn't right for our time, and would have trouble in rust belt states. It made sense, then.
I'd agree with the basic premise, get out and vote, in every election, including and in particular State elections.
Pushing the candidate onto Democrats that was literally polling ten points less than Sanders wasn't the only way DWS was doing a bad job. She's literally given away the statehouses of more and more states, lost governorship's, has not even bothered to muster a candidate--there wasn't one here in 2014. We literally did not have a Democratic Senate candidate to vote for.
I should just say, I never heard a Sanders' voter say anything about "not trusting a woman....blah, blah." Policy was always the important thing, the divergence of the Democratic Party from workers and the poor, was what we had a problem with. You're the ones that kept making it all about sexism and racism.
Honestly, the worst thing about "everything Russian," that we're seeing flooding the media is that we're not discussing the "internal" problems with the Democratic Party, or the need to shore up our State operations. That's a problem--no, that's "the" problem.
