(6,288 posts)All I see anymore are opportunists feeding off the craphole we allowed our country to be tossed into because of lack of attention last time around.
Sorry. These 2 aren't going to change a thing with Trump taxes.
They had the chance to prevent it & failed.

(259 posts)Certainty wasnt long term thinking strategically. Long term thinking is getting as many democrats as possible in the courts and in congress. A moderate Democrat is 100s better than any republican. The only somewhat fair minded republican in the entire congress seems to be McCain. And thats saying something. Its good to talk about these things, but the reality is there needs to be majorities to create and implement the agenda. Any comments at other times that can turn off others to the party is contrary to having any moderate or progressive goals enacted. A moderate republican does not exist. The only reason health care wasnt eliminated already is because a few republicans (Rand Paul) essentially thought it wasnt harsh enough of all things.

(259 posts)Hmm. Just gonna slip something like that in there eh
Well I think the original sin/stupidity by the DNC was allowing someone whos never been a member of the organization run for the highest position of the organization.
The whole point was that they looked at how the 2012 republican Primary ended up damaging all of the front runners in the general, while Obama, on the other hand, didnt have a primary battle or attacks from the left. It was unified support. Since he could not run again obviously, it was decided to try and unify ahead of time and avoid infighting or damage from within.
They thought that it would make sense to limit the damage from a primary battle for the front runner. Since Clinton was far and away that person, most other ambitious Democrats didnt run for that very reason in 16; in order to limit any damage to the standard bearer and avoid the cannabilsm and infighting of the 2012 Republican Primary. Well it didnt play out like that.

(8,261 posts)For every time someone said they hated her, refused to vote for hers, etc...I would not be angry every day that #45 is so totally inept. She failed to deliver our only hopes against this mad man.

So why all the complaining about the results now?
I don't get it.
She tried, America failed.

(6,288 posts)How bout Cambridge Analytica, Kushner, Assange, Wikileaks, Flynn Sr & Jr., the Trump family?
How about Paul Manafort & his friend from back in the Ukraine, Tad Devine?
We had an outstanding candidate with probably the most progressive platform this country has seen for a long time. Pathetic pity that people listened to Putin's organized criminal takeover of the US gov't, rather than bother to find out what they were voting away.
When the truth comes out as to Tad Devine's actual purpose in election 2016, I'll be sure to post it here for all to know.
Those who chose to follow Putin's social media bombshells are free to do so. Shiny objects are sure pretty., I'll stick with the only person who even bothered to write & present a policy platform that included the well being of the whole of American society.
And I'll stick with the only person who'll stand there, afte the dust has cleared from Mueller's masterful draining of the entire swamp, the only person from 2016 who was never indicted for colluding with a foreign adversary to overthrow the US govt.
The Democratic Party & its strongest fighters for human rights & fairness will be the only one left standing.
Tad Devine & Paul Manafort
Thanks
All of this is not news. I have more questions than I have answers.

(6,288 posts)I seriously can't believe you said that after all we now know.
Were you referring to Sanders or Clinton.
One ran for the sake of the country, one ran for "media & money". (His own words)

(259 posts)Does it exist?
There needs to be more effort to get this into the mainstream over and over. Republicans are very good at getting a consistent message out and to as many people as possible. During the election in 16 it was nonstop Kellyanne Conway. For every 25 times I saw Kellyanne, Id see the Dem equivalent John Podesta. The elections are won and lost on CNN, Fox, and MSNBC which then creates the narrative.

(259 posts)MSNBC programs or CNN right now. fox no. Washington Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Time etc I think would welcome Bernies imput considering he still has a significant following. I think Bernie could have easily campaigned with Hillary more than two occasions and he was heavy courted through the process to provide support/endorsement etc repeatedly. I look at it more as reluctance than lack of opportunity.
Is there a MSM bias. In some areas yes, but far less than the Bush years when any criticism was seen as treason in the media at points. I think his input sways a lot of minds still, and him being a loud voice on the issues like this one would be helpful. His followers are active, and just need a cause to fight right now IMO. He has the power to have half a million people storm Washington in prot sets at the drop of a hat. That little blurb above will reach what... .0005 of the population when it could reach millions. The opportunity exists if he wanted to be more visible for positive causes such as this. My opinion.

(6,288 posts)I'm going with Nina & Nomiki for the win.
Hey, whatever happened to Jane & the tanking of that college?
FBI must be digging deeper into financials.
S'pose they found that Off Shore acct she had set up for the St Lucie woodworking school/Burlington College abroad program?
I think I read that she claimed to have closed it when she drove Burlington College in that financial ditch.
Haven't heard if she's been indicted over the loan issues.
Gee I hope she comes out ok.
Never know when the Feds start snooping around!

or they could have said, I know, let's write a check for $17,000 to every single family in America making less than $200,000. And they still would have money left over.
