2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: If you're thinking of voting third party this fall, please reconsider. [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)20. This year is different. This year, we have a much better platform
And if we campaign by referencing that platform constantly, we can refute that argument.
What I'm saying is we can win progressive votes on the merits?
What matters is winning...not getting payback for what happened in 2000. That was sixteen years ago, and many of the people you are railing at were small children when that happened.
Thank you for admitting that most Sanders supporters are supporting Hillary.

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.
