2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumA question for Hillary supporters from a veteran: Is this for real?
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).
The condescention...
The blatant disregard...
The hostility...
The intellectual dishonesty...
It felt like walking in a meeting for creationists who doesn't want to hear about Evolution in a positive way.
It's attitudes like this that sickens me.
"Do the supporters of the other team really believe that this primary is about popularity?"
"These are strong supporters of the Clintons who are unwilling to change."
"Respect, if not given, is enforced."
So why have ELECTIONS?? Or FORUMS?
The entire thread was just about pissing on Bernie, his supporters, threatening tones if not "respectfull", and the democratic process in general.
It was a prayer meeting.
And why do the establishment expect support from independents when we know how the GOP has rigged the system in so many states?
Do Hillary supporters insist on not only losing, but also alienating the voters brought in by the Independent that has been caucusing with the democratic party the last 20 years?
Are they so naive?`
No you also know why I am ashamed and repulsed "Defending western values" has all of a sudden become a fight to keep the establishment happy and stuffed and not upset their precious feelings and talk about how their bank accounts got so fat. It has NOT been about the will of the people, free speech and the right to dissent.
Freedom of speech and open debate has become empty phraces without meaning.
If one are afraid of different opinions, then ones own opinions are based on a house of cards.
Like blasphemy laws!

Oh looky!
Hillary lying for 13 minutes straight!
&index=19&list=WL
Democracy has now officially become a joke.
"Let's have an election folks! And ignore the results if we don't like them! We rely 100% on the loyalty of the Super delegates!"
And then you have the republicans to deal with...

But if the Corporate Ds try it, there will be a major bloodbath.

insurrection. The young, the workers, the oldsters like me will hunt them down and make them sorry they were born. I personally will camp outside any from here and make their life a living hell. None of them have the guts to do this thing. DWS is living proof of what awaits them if they try.
