Would y'all please stop fighting about the last primaries

[Lunabell]

Mistakes were made on both sides. We have bigger fish to fry than all this bullshit infighting. It's just what the republicans want us to do. Let it go!

1. no

people need to learn that they do has CONSEQUENCES

THE MEDIA NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THIS TOO

[Amimnoch]

9. Interesting perspective.

I'd be a hell of a lot more inclined to agree if I saw more open discussion, listening, and learning.

Perhaps you can point me to one of the discussions where there's honest dialog with people listening to each other? All I've seen so far is more pissing contests, backhanded swipes at each other with carefully crafted responses to avoid getting hides, and closed minded insults..

To be fair, there have been a few thought provoking posts mixed in, but having to sift through the mess of muck to find those gems tends to be tedious.

[ihaveaquestion]

13. I've tried to initiate these types of discussions and

the responses were split about halfway between rabid attacks and reasonable discussion. I'd call that moderately successful I suppose.

[Butterflylady]

11. My dear

the media does what their told to do. They are now just entertianment shows. The time of truly news shows that give you actual facts are dead and gone.

[PJMcK]

19. Perhaps your lesson could be directed elsewhere

The real target of your point should be the 60+ million who voted for Trump. The Democratic Party has always thrived by its diversity and we need more voices, not less.

Your observation about the media is rather pointless. News outlets have become profit-oriented businesses who must respond to quarterly reports to their stock holders. Sorry, but they aren't going to change their business model because you wrote your opinion in capital letters.

I've read your posts for years, Skittles, and I've nearly always been impressed by your points of view. Bashing Democrats seems to me to be a losing strategy going forward.

[Skittles]

28. no, people stupid enough to vote for DONALD FUCKING TRUMP are a lost cause

better to concentrate on people who failed to vote, and start really going after gerrymandering and voter suppression

and WHAT DEMOCRAT is being bashed???

[SecularMotion]

2. Please add an option for "Never again"

[TheBlackAdder]

3. Yet, some were the PUMAs who held strong thoughtout the second term of Obama's presidency.

They will probably even flag this post for jury.

[Coventina]

24. Already happened.....n/t

[True Dough]

4. The upcoming release of Hillary's book

makes this a timely issue again. Some OPs on the topic have avoided retrying the primaries but others delve into the contents of the book (sometimes served with a strong dose of opinion). It's a timely issue once again due to statements from "What Happened?" Makes it a tough call when the DU rule on not refighting the primaries has to be enforced.

5. Can we say Nader started all this?

[haveahart]

6. Can we be grown up and just accept that people have different view points. If you can't stand to

hear them, it says more about you than about them. I seldom like to hear, though I will listen, a point of view that differs from my own. Especially when in my own mind I accept the truth of the opposition.

[Achilleaze]

7. Don't take the bait. Ignore trolls.

[demmiblue]

8. These people are depressing the vote for 2018. n/t

[left-of-center2012]

12. "These people are depressing the vote for 2018"

I agree.
And everytime I say let's focus on 2018 and 2020 I get attacked.

Like a dog gnawing on a bone,
some won't let go of 2016.

[FSogol]

10. LOL, Someone alerted on your poll. Guess they want to keep fighting the primaries?

[edbermac]

14. We should be fighting the RepubliKKKans for 2018.

[treestar]

15. It isn't refighting

This fight is still going on. We are worried about 2018 and 2020. Republicans winning because Democrats won't stick together long enough to win seats.

[Sunlei]

17. no way should we let go of this collusion with a foreign country to attack Americas democracy.

The attacks against basic human rights, against our press, our public lands continue, it hasn't stopped

[blueinredohio]

18. We are never going to win if we keep bitching about every little thing

we don't agree with. No one is perfect so we've got to stick together. Pick one candidate and campaign your ass off.

[aikoaiko]

20. Too late. Hillary's book will stoke the fires for quiet a while...

...and primary warriors will hide behind "her book is a current issue".

Her book may have a hundred important things to say, but her Bernie Blame that has already taken over this forum.

I really have to wonder about the pundits who focus on this one issue.

[NurseJackie]

23. I "really have to wonder" about those who ignore it.

I really have to wonder about the pundits who focus on this one issue.

I "really have to wonder" about those who ignore it and those who fear it. So I guess that makes us even, huh?

[aikoaiko]

25. I suppose in your mind we are even.

Bernie's roll in the 2016 GE has been discussed thoroughly since Nov 9 along with many other issues.

I don't think anyone has ignored it or fears it. Who fears discussing it?

[liquid diamond]

21. Not going to happen.

[longship]

22. The children who keep posting the Hillary vs Bernie threads!

I keep alerting them, but it doesn't do any damned good.

Some people here seem to be stuck in a time warp.

Playing blame games is useless at this point. Utterly useless.

We have 2018 GOP fish to fry, and Drumpf is self-destructing before our very eyes. His cabinet is in shambles and Mueller is on the hunt.

It is time to stop the childish bullshit and get with the program of opposing the GOP and their minions. Democrats and their followers are not the enemy.

[tymorial]

26. If I could only press yes nonstop.

[rock]

27. Well, that is the way repukes deal with things

"That's in the past!"
"Let's look to the future!"
"we can't do anything about it now!"
