(5,198 posts)whoever decided that mocking, dismissing and insulting people day after day was a smart tack to take expecting support does NOT understand human nature!
On top of that to kettle what used to be the Democratic Party between this rock and a hard place--between a neo liberal and neo Nazi as presidential choices is added insult, as well as underestimating the intelligence of millions of people.
This is a LOSING strategy, and to cheat on top of that. The message, once again, is that the powerful moneyed class just goes through these elections as kabuki theatre, to maintain the FAIRY TALE of democracy. What else would calling our representation ponies and unicorns be, telling us to 'get it out of our systems' and censoring open adult discussions? Forcing us to support a hostile candidate is very much like an abusive parent forcing compliance, same exact dynamic.
Attempting to force the removal of a democratically elected candidate and forcing us to vote against Trump is the lowest form of extortion. People have gotten on the wrong side of history on this one, if they ever awaken will rue the day they backed such destruction of our country and planet.
