It's amusing to watch people pretend that Hillary hate is about "issues".

58. They don't. And, "A democrat" means nothing beyond what each candidate SAYS it does.

And voters owe the Democrats NOTHING and owe Clinton NOTHING, certainly not protection from Republicans.

Either she's what the voters want or she isn't. Including registered Democrats.

The party exists to enact policy. When the party has drifted away from the policies it's base requires of it, it no longer has a base. This has nothing to do with the skeeeeery right wing, which currently consists of a rabble of crack-addled zombies on a leaking lifeboat anyway.

It's nothing to do with the left-leaning base either. If they pull the party all the way over to "We are basically Republicans now" land, what do you expect people to do? "Here my pretties, this is what 'a democrat' is now. Oh! Oh! You are opposed to it, you horrid traitors! But they are 'a DEMOCRAT'. And you are displeased! Oh my goodness, this is terrible! Oh, you are not proper 'democrats'! We changed what 'a democrat' is and now you say it's not what you want! Well, you cannot be 'democrats' then!" NOOOO FRICKEN SHIT, SHERLOCK.

How could you possibly have read what I've said to you about being pissed off about being treated as if one has the IQ of a lobotomised cow and then responded with nebulous fuzzlings about "a democrat" as if we both don't know perfectly well that for your purposes that term means whatever you bloody well want it to mean?

What do you expect ME to do about it if your position requires you to pretend I have no mind of any description?

What do you expect ME to do about it if YOU can't be bothered to think straight?
