2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI want my fellow bernie supporters to keep something in mind...
We've been here before, we've done this before, and we've gotten great advice on how to deal with it before.
It's the same people, with the same arguments and rhetoric, and they will get the same result. Go forth, brush your shoulders off, and remember...

(62,325 posts)conversation, and together with OWS they've shined a light on all the corruption that permeates our entire system today. THAT is why I believe Bernie will win.
The public is more informed and more angry than ever at the greed and corruption that they know now, has caused so much harm to this country.

We should not be afraid to get in the mud and take on the powerful. Thanks for doing just that.
Those that sling mud lose ground. Those that stand up for truth prevail over those who wallow in the mud.

(14,459 posts)But I heard how bad it was. I'd say this one is bad too, but it's more of a bad joke. We're being forced to sit through a B movie and told it's the best we can do.
If that's the best we can do...we're screwn!

At the same time that primary took my breath away because it was exciting and despite what some said would be a very short primary (Oh, it will be over on Super Tuesday) it was a very long one. My state didn't vote until May, but I choose who I was going to vote for a full 13 months ahead of time. It was worth the wait when I finally did get to cast my ballot.
Being here overseas I was trying to teach my classes AND find out election results because it was the middle of the next day.

(1,364 posts)the vitriol is just skyrocketing. Almost seems worse than 2007-8. I often use this site for a news source, but it seems a madness has overtaken some of our party. The same outbreak has occurred on fb. I had only blocked 5 people in many years, and yesterday added 2 more because of the unfounded vitriol and outright lies. Several posters sprang to my defense. I am seeing it here, cranking up. And we have months to go before the primaries. Hate to quote Rotten Ronnie, but he said that a Commandment was to speak no ill of another Republic. We would do well to do the same: Speak no ill of a fellow Democrat or they who have caucused with Democrats.
