(42,862 posts)The overwrought and perpetually angry Bernie fans have got to have something to do! I suppose that ineffective and repetitive griping about the debate schedule, on a forum that's not read by the target of the complaints, is as good an activity as any of the other wastes of time.
My curiosity was regarding why it is that so many people feel that shouting down an empty well was a good idea. Offsite coordinating makes more sense.
Looking at the debate schedule, days and times, I can see that the offsite efforts haven't been very successful either. Color me shocked!
I know it's got to be a big surprise to everyone who thought that Wasserman-Schultz was prowling DU looking for affirmation that she'd made the right decision, and looking for validation and approval.
With all the obsessive focus on things that (obviously) will not change, I think I'm beginning to understand why it is that Bernie's ground-game hasn't produced the results he and his supporters seek. But, you guys are the experts. I'll defer to your judgement and continue to wonder by what criteria you measure success.
Good luck! I think you'll need it.
