(10,150 posts)It's an opinion based upon the facts on the state of the race. When I last checked, this is a particular forum for discussing issues related to the Democratic party primaries. I think we're on topic in that regard. And your intrusion to try to muzzle our discussion is not likely to work.
"Propaganda" ? I think the discussion is trying to keep things more realistic and down to earth while acknowledging the polls are not very good for primaries this year. We're kind of comparing notes and kicking things around - not spinning crap to convince someone of something. Just trying to come up with rough bookends on the potential outcome.
Sure there are emotions. But pure propaganda in what we're talking about? That's silly. We're kicking around delegate ranges of how it might turn out. That's all. Do you really understand the meaning of the word? Sure doesn't look like it to me.
"The true believers are in this to make change and fight for years to come, no matter what."
I've been at it since the 60s so no fucking kidding. Did you stay up all night coming up with that? I'm living in the present and this campaign is what is happening right now. So like many, I'm going to focus on that and we can worry about the "years to come" some other time - like we often do AFTER elections. Right now, we need to keep our eye on the ball. You can run along and worry about your propaganda for "the years to come" and we can carry on worrying about the campaign that's going on right now. Sounds like a good plan to me.
