2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: What gives with all the green party shit? [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)13. I lived through it
Although full disclosure I was on the other side then.
I only asked because of all of the discussion about it on here tonight. I thought it odd. There will always be a hard left who see the Democratic Party is a center right party and sites like DU draw them since it is a left leaning site.
And before anyone responds, I realize that compared to Europe the Democratic Party would be a centrist based party. But we are not Europe.
And at least after this cycle the word socialist will not be on the level as pedophile as it was in this country for so long.

Yup. Since Bernie asked his supporters to back Hillary, they've become unhinged.

There seems to be a lot of people arguing that we must remain a two-party nation.
