2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: This message was self-deleted by its author [View all]phleshdef
(11,936 posts)86. Its just all part of the idiotic intra-party sniping we get into around here.
Personally, I'll have no part of it. I'm backing Bernie all the way but will vote for the Democratic nominee in November 2016, regardless. This petty squabbling that has nothing to do with the real issues has no place in my life for the most part. So far, our candidates have been pretty classy in regard to the way they treat each other on the campaign trail. I suggest we emulate them and stick to promoting our preferred candidates on their merits instead of trying to drag down the other candidates due to their flaws. Thats what Bernie seems to want.

Bernie can't be a first lady and Hillary marched with lgbt people while opposing same sex marriage.
