11. Dialing it back from what?

There seems to be a dawning realization that stomping on flaming bags of poop just gets poop on your foot. it's a bit late in coming, but hey. Optimism.

I already opined on what party unity would take after this campaign. And after that, I kinda sat back out of the argument. I caucused for Bernie, chipped in a few dollars, but my abilities are limited, and so is my reach. Hillary's the likely nominee... but she won't win unless we're on board with her.

I was pretty dejected until I looked at Obama's NY totals LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #1
I wasn't I was mad. I am sick and tired of my political party cheating emsimon33 Apr 2016 #19
I agree. Not mad, but frustrated. Maedhros Apr 2016 #24

You can't discuss anything out there right now. Kittycat Apr 2016 #5
I'm saying that MrChuck Apr 2016 #9
Fuck that. This isn't 2008, and Bernie isn't another establishment Party insider like BO and HRC. GoneFishin Apr 2016 #12
Well, I've always been a Dem, and never supported her. So? Kittycat Apr 2016 #15

No, they haven't. And they probably won't. Scootaloo Apr 2016 #25
I just read that OP and agree. delrem Apr 2016 #32
I have little faith my advice will be heeded, even opportunistically Scootaloo Apr 2016 #34

It's not one damned way different than when Bernie won his primaries over Clinton. nc4bo Apr 2016 #18
I'm personally not that worried about it Hydra Apr 2016 #20

This IS a discussion forum, But this is a protected group for Bernie supporters Autumn Apr 2016 #28
Hey, easy MrChuck Apr 2016 #29
No YOU go easy on discussing Sanders supporters. You want to discuss them take it elsewhere. Autumn Apr 2016 #30
That's not nice. MrChuck Apr 2016 #31
Autumn, your own post to GD: P got "interpreted" to hell and gone. delrem Apr 2016 #33
According to Bernie, it's not about Bernie, so it really cannot be just about his candidacy. HereSince1628 Apr 2016 #37
