If one more person tells me or insinuates who I should support..

[Peacetrain]

I may actually blow a gasket.. seriously.. I do not tell people who they should support or why.. do I let people know why I support someone.. absolutely, and I am interested in why other people have their candidate of choice.. but I do not get in someones space and have the unmitigated gall to tell them who they should support..

I am so sick of the pretentious, self righteous ,only my way or the highway muddle, that my inner peacetrain is almost off the rails..

Our people will either be selected or rejected on how they connect with the voters.. period.. stop..

And if Biden, or Sanders, or Warren, or Buttigieg, or Harris (that is where most of the vote is today June 26, 2019) cannot make their case.. well guess what.. they are not going to be the candidate who will go on to represent the Democratic Party..

rant off..

1. You SHOULD support...

the DEMOCRATIC Nominee.

[Peacetrain]

2. ROFL!!

Okay I needed that..

[dsp3000]

7. THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

All of this infighting goes away once WHOEVER the democratic nominee is. PERIOD.

[DesertRat]

16. 100%!

[DrToast]

20. Agree! They have the only shot of beating Trump!

[lapfog_1]

3. I had hoped that this primary season

would see all of the candidate be at least cordial with each other as they state their positions, never disparaging other democrats.

And that we would all support our chosen candidates with money and our votes... and let the best person win... and then we would all line up behind whoever wins the nomination and give that person our whole hearted support to defeat the republicans (not just Trump, but all republicans everywhere).

[Peacetrain]

5. I do not think it is as bad as it was in

2008 and 2016 just yet.. that was a different kind of hell.. but those special little talks you get from the elites can be just galling.. I am already getting commitment letters for caucus.. and I never commit till Sept.. after a few debates.. I know who I support.. but I still kick the tires if you get my drift..

[SouthernProgressive]

4. I support and thank you.

[Peacetrain]

6. Yeah me too!

[mitch96]

8. I send them a nice PM and then block them... nt

[brooklynite]

9. And who has done this to YOU?

You realize that this is a blog for people to express there thoughts about politics, right?

[Peacetrain]

10. Thank you for letting me know that..

I am too damn stupid to figure that out... I am expressing my thoughts about politics.. right? or is that reserved for the privileged few

[brooklynite]

12. My point is that if I think people should support John Hickenlooper...

...based on forty years of political experience, in depth research, and personal meetings, I may choose to let people know, because that's the sort of thing we do here. But be assured, I'm certainly not telling YOU.

[underpants]

11. Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell QUIMBY!

[cwydro]

13. I didn't know people were doing that.

No one should tell anyone else who to support. Period.

Good rant.

[Indygram]

14. This is kind of ironic to me because the only pressure I have felt to "get in line"

has been to do so for Biden.

[DesertRat]

15. From whom?

I attend monthly meetings with other Dems in my AZ legislative district as well as interacting with fellow Dems online. Most, like me, seem to like several candidates and current favorites seem to fluctuate. I haven't felt any pressure to pick a candidate whatsoever. We are 9 months away from our state's primary.
Are you in an early primary state?
From whom is this "pressure" that you feel to get in line for Biden coming from?

[cwydro]

18. I haven't felt that either.

It does seem that certain supporters of certain candidates are a wee bit sensitive.

This is politics people. Thick skins are a must.

[dalton99a]

19. Eh, that's how primaries should be run

You take a poll before the debates, you declare a winner and you tell everyone to drop out - the idea is to give the winner the peace of mind and a chance to be well rested before the general election

[LanternWaste]

21. Cool story, bro.

[question everything]

17. I have not run into anyone telling me who I should support

I do, however, read many posts here of individuals expressing their supports for candidates and their reasons. We all, of course, are free to "listen," to debate and and to draw our own conclusion.

Really, this is so basic that I am not even sure what is the point. But, perhaps, I am missing something - happens sometimes.
