The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!

1. This board is busier than my coke mirror
used to be.

Cutting and chopping until it was all divided into lots of tidy lines.

Get over yourselves and get on board. One bus.

2. If I tell an old friend that he's being used by a manipulative boss ...
... or an opportunitic ex-husband/wife, am I being divisive? Maybe. But if it is true, I am also being other things.

3. Strategy seems to be working quite nicely
The Hillary-hate machine from the dead-ender- diehards who see themselves as Obama folk rather than democrats seems to be pumping away quite nicely.

5. Plenty of nutters and dead enders about
who see themselves as supporting one dem over the other and who are still insisting on fighting a battle that is now over. That battle is over. Onward. That said - rubbing salt in wounds and behaving like spoiled brat sore losers is very unappealing. And very destructive.

7. I don't think you understand my point.
I'm saying that there are good dems who are being manipulated by the GOP to vote against their own best interests. There are plenty of threads about toning down the divisive rhetoric to post in. If you can't find any, you could start one. This thread is about the GOP playing a part of our base against another part of our base.
