Reply #93: Oh, yes, because we can win

[liberalhistorian]

the presidency by only Dems voting, we can afford to alienate an entire party (and look where that's gotten us in past elections).

And how dare any other candidates run against Hillary, the entitled one. And how dare people vote for anyone else besides her. What do they think this is, anyway, a democracy?

A real Democrat would not be bitter at any primary opposition, but would welcome the competition as giving people a choice and a voice. A real Democrat would not consider herself entitled to the presidency. A real Democrat would not have voted for the IWR and then continued to defend the vote years later, never apologizing for it or admitting she was wrong (whereas Obama's statments at the time as to what was likely to happen in the ME if we went ahead against Iraq have ALL proven true). A real Democrat would not have continued to unquestioningly vote for EVERY SINGLE war funding bill put before the Senate. A real Democrat would not be aiding and abetting the shredding of constitutional rights and principles without batting an eye. A real Democrat would have done SOMETHING to at least try to stop the bankruptcy "reform" bill that has been so devastating to so many desperate people. A real Democrat would not have voted for the PATRIOT Act. A real Democrat would not be an unabashed corporatist, pocketing money from insurance and drug companies, voting against worker's interests, etc., etc., etc. I could go on and on.
