Sorry, Dad - it ain't the same as when you were a Democratic ward worker, and took me to see JFK give a campaign speech. You wouldn't fucking recognize what passes for the Democratic Party now.

(7,656 posts)As an NPA you will not be able to choose a Grayson over a Murphy in the future. If you don't like the candidates the party is nominating you can either get involved in campaigns of progressive candidates before the primary- or you can take your ball and go home.
I support progressive candidates. I ignore people who complain on the sidelines.

(14,255 posts)Oh, and I can always re-register if I want to, for a specific primary.
I was not looking for your approval, really, just stating what I will do.
Oh, and I live in Florida. Almost distasteful, being registered in the same party as the party chair - Debbie Wasserman DINO, who openly campaigns for her GOP buddies. Obvious where the party is going.

(32,886 posts)YMMV, obviously.
Ned_Devine
(3,146 posts)And I don't know what YMMV means.
stevenleser
(32,886 posts)At some point, you will hopefully figure out a way to be politically effective rather than insulting other people when you fail.
Ned_Devine
(3,146 posts)You're a pointman for the corporate wing of the democratic party and that's how you make your money. If you find your own work to be insulting, maybe you should find another line of work.
stevenleser
(32,886 posts)you can figure out how not to fail next time. It's up to you.
Ned_Devine
(3,146 posts)Sin of my failure? What is this, the old time gospel hour? Voting my conscience is neither a sin nor failure.
stevenleser
(32,886 posts)And you are proving the exact reason why I thought Hillary's concession and support of Obama in 2008 was so spectacular and deserved a rethink of her character.
You're so bitter you are taking it out on someone who really had no effect on this at all, and at best you did one one millionth of the work that an actual candidate did/would do and you can't handle the loss, and she after fighting hard for two years and working 20 hours a day every day during that period was gracious in defeat.
Ned_Devine
(3,146 posts)Who says I'm bitter? You say so, but I'm perfectly fine. I voted for Bernie in my state as well as phone banked and canvassed for him in several states. I will continue to support him because I believe in his message.
HRC's minute of grace in that speech in support of Obama in 2008 didn't make up for the months long racist campaign she ran against him just weeks before.
Sore loser? Not one bit. I just don't side with the corporate wing of the democratic party. To me, they represent everything that's wrong with the party. I could never do what you do because I wouldn't believe in the product I was selling. You can and do. If your conscience is cool with that, then keep doing what you're doing.
stevenleser
(32,886 posts)You're not fooling anyone.
Ned_Devine
(3,146 posts)I'm obviously a Bernie fan and definitely not a fan of the centrist/right turn the party has taken. You defend that part of the party and for some reason you find it insulting that I know this. Time for this guy to hit the hay. Take care man.

(5,668 posts)B. she might win , H. she won't win. but thats looking at it in a positive light. Fairly sure though both Hillary and Bernie supporters know she bungled this from day one. Made things much worse than they needed to be.
