2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: If you're thinking of voting third party this fall, please reconsider. [View all]Demsrule86
(68,556 posts)17. I would also like to bring up the "hold her feet" comment..."
I saw Obama savaged on this site and others before the 2010 election by so-called progressives...and what was the result? Congress went to the GOP and all chance of a progressive agenda ended. The states elected GOP types and gerrymandered Congress. I am sick of those who claim to be more left than anyone else...helping the GOP by not supporting Democrats. Imagine what we could have done had we supported our president. Democrats are the only ...let me say that again...only vehicle for progressive change. And all the progressive goodies we have going back over 80 years were provided to us by Democrats.

There is no way to reason with some of these folks...and they don't belong here so we can't win

If you can't reason with them, you can't win them over through abuse, either.

I have actually never called out any supporter of a third party candidate although they deserve it.

So I'm supposed to take you at your word? Despite the content of your posts?

Sure, you don't HAVE to prove anything. It just leaves the evidence I have that you participated

I never participated in anything on JPR. I opposed HRC in the primaries, but never hated her.

I will say Armstead is doing just that at JPR...making the the case why one should vote for Hillary

If just repeating that phrase worked, the Stein and Johnson numbers would be dropping

Your first complete sentence and last complete sentence really does say it all.
