I think we have to have the biggest registration drive and also have people bettyellen Oct 2017 #10

+100. At this point, a "it will be 4 more years of this junk unless you vote" campaign Hoyt Oct 2017 #28

No, I'm not. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #49

What pressure is there to get "behind a candidate right NOW?" n/t tammywammy Oct 2017 #46

There are numerous threads on DU right now talking about getting behind one candidate Ken Burch Oct 2017 #48

Do you have a link because I haven't seen that. n/t tammywammy Oct 2017 #50

You confuse an already existing support for a candidate as pressure on you. LanternWaste Oct 2017 #52

The threads I'm talking about don't mention any particular candidate. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #55

So if they don't mention a candidate how are they pressuring you to support someone? tammywammy Oct 2017 #56

Because they are trying to shut down debate. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #58

How can any random poster on here shut down discussion? tammywammy Oct 2017 #59

The process is going to happen, not sure why you'd think otherwise. But it seems like you're bettyellen Oct 2017 #61

If Democrats can unite behind a strong candidate, they'll win bearsfootball516 Oct 2017 #13

Seems like lots of new posters are pushing this hard these days. It's absurd. Squinch Oct 2017 #15

I dont want to take anything for granted when it comes to 2020 bearsfootball516 Oct 2017 #18

The push for unity should happen at the convention. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #32

Or tiresome, depending on how much patience you have. Squinch Oct 2017 #14

oh, i'm tired of it alright... spanone Oct 2017 #16

It seems to be the new thing to push around here. I wonder what they are hoping to gain by it? Squinch Oct 2017 #17

It couldn't be progressive to agree on someone right NOW-we're three years out. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #22

The Center is bigger than you think Tavarious Jackson Oct 2017 #24

Also, the country has moved right... a center left candidate is the only one who can win. Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #35

Not sure the country actually has moved further right. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #36

And therein lies the problem. Can we even get him to run? underthematrix Oct 2017 #43

We absolutely do not need a divisive primary...thus I hope neither Hillary nor Bernie Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #34

Fully agree with you that neither of them should run. Ken Burch Oct 2017 #40

I love Joe Biden ...met him a few times...really great guy. I will always be sad he didn't have a Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #44
