In reply to the discussion: What a sense of entitlement - "It's my turn" [View all]GitRDun

Author James Mann, who the New York times described his book Rise of the Vulcans about Bush foreign policy advisers:
Lucid, shrewd and after so many high decibel screeds from both the right and the left, blessedly level headed. It is necessary reading for anyone interested in understanding how and why America came to deal with the rest of the world the way it is doing under the Bush administration.

The NYT describes him as level headed. To you he is either a flunkie or a running dog.
Jim Messina, National Chief of Staff in 2008, Campaign Manager in 2012 to President Obama is again either a flunkie or a running dog.
Their crime? Expressing an opinion you don't like.
You should delete your post as well.
The problem with some of you Sanders folks is you are so reflexive when hearing anything you don't like, you lash out with no thought for how an objective observer might see your posts.
It's false to make the claim Hillary says or thinks it's her turn. It is equally repulsive to denigrate two accomplished people who may use the term "her turn". For all we know they see "her turn" as meaning a continuation of Obama's agenda.
Your look isn't good. Running dog? Flunkie? I think not. That little bug in support of a Sanders write in campaign via Loonix isn't a good look either.
Try being positive about Bernie. It's a better strategy. You can see a few ideas in my journal if you are interested.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I was wondering the same thing. The OP has the phrase in quotes. I'd like to see the actual quote.

The poster wrote a whole dissertation for me based on not understanding a metaphor.

You've nailed! Every HRC devotee I have encountered supports her because it is "her turn."

A lot of the post here on DU suggest Sanders is saying it is his turn so he can start a revolution.

Who said "it's my turn"? I keep seeing people around here claiming that's what has been said...

The inference I make is it is okay to libel someone as long as you don't like him or her.
