In reply to the discussion: Enough with the scolding please. [View all]I never questioned the primary process, that isn't even in my post. Don't deliberably misconstrue my post because you're determined to avoid my points.
Here's Nina's greatest hits: -
"I dont think it is our job nor our obligation to fit in. Its their job to fit in with us.
re: fitting in with the DNC or with Democrats. Oh I can feel the unity vibes.
"If they want Our Revolutions endorsement they will seek it like everybody else and so they gotta start with the local affiliates, and if the local affiliates say that this is the person that we want to back, then there it is. There it is." :
this is regarding progressives who don't directly support Sander only getting OR endorsement if they suck up to local activists of OR's choosing.
And for me, Ive also heard the senator (referring to Sanders) say this lately too: Lets put the political affiliation to the side. If there is a Republican or a Libertarian or Green Party person that believes in Medicare for all, then thats our kind of person. If theres somebody that believes that Citizens United needs to be overturned, that we need the 28th amendment to the Constitution that declares that money, corporate money, is not speech and that corporations should not have more speech than Mrs. Johnson down the street and Mr. Gonzalez around the corner, then thats our kind of people.
- Which is complete BULLSHIT and she knows it, the only party right now interested in Universal HealthCare are democrats.
Google the quotes because I cannot believe you don't know this already, these quotes have been floated around this forum sometime now, Nina's position is well known.
