That's what the primaries were for. We now have a winner. We already know what the Democrats wishes are.


This type of grandstanding and showboating... whining, disruptive and sore-loser behavior serves no good purpose.

It only creates division and distrust. Their negativity generates apathy. Apathy generates complacency. Complacency discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

I think that now is the time for mature adults to set aside their hurt feelings and move on.

I wouldn't be so self-indulgent or selfish. However, I can state that for the supporters of candidates other than Biden, their "disappointment" is certainly understandable... nevertheless, enough time has passed and it's time to get over it. Or at least fake the fuck out of it, and get on board (or just shut up about it until we're safely in the White House!)

All I'm trying to say is that the constant moaning... and groaning... and whining... and griping... and belly-aching serves no good purpose. That type of behavior is counterproductive and it deserves to be dismissed and ridiculed and discouraged.

How does it help our cause for anyone to continually be expressing sadness and regret that Biden is our party's nominee? How does it motivate people when they hear such overwrought distress such as "I'll vote for him, but..."; or "I guess we'll have to settle..."; or "he's the lesser of two evils..."; or "we're stuck with him..."; or "he's doesn't excite me", etc. etc.

All those things are just a few of the back-handed, passive-aggressive insults and smears that we keep hearing from people who demand that their feelings be respected.

Really? Is that so? Then why all the pouting and why be so "dismissive" of our party's nominee? Why all the reluctant and begrudging "support"?

People need to ask themselves: What's more important? Being able to continually express disappointment and regret? Or getting people motivated to get out and vote for Biden?

This is all very Sarandonesque in my opinion. All these veiled insults and negative comments that are cloaked with "I'm just disappointed, you must respect my feelings" are toxic and harmful. The lessons of the past are already being forgotten (or willfully ignored).

Here's the thing: The overt expressions of "regret" and continued nitpicking and words of disappointment (and having to "settle'') only serve to create an atmosphere of negativity. That negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

I hope that people will fast-forward to the 55-second mark to actually LISTEN to what she's saying. Or read it. (I've made it as easy as possible for others by including a transcript that I typed myself.)

People who enjoy attacking the Lincoln Project are engaging in a not-so-subtle pastime of letting others know how pure they are. It's not unique to this web site, I've seen it elsewhere on the Internet and on Facebook and Twitter.

All I'm saying is that from what I've observed, the overall goal appears to be one that involves showboating about their own pure morality while at the same time they are busy insulting others and dragging others down. It's divisive, demeaning, denigrating and bullying behavior. The message from those who do such things can be summed up thusly: "Nah-nah! Look at me! I'm better than you because I'm pure, you're not, you suck! Nyaaaah!"

It's just as annoying as that bratty kid, Stilwell, from the movie "A League of Their Own"

Kindly fast-forward to the 55-second mark to actually LISTEN to what she's saying. Or read it. (I've made it as easy as possible by including a transcript for you.)

Holly Gottawhine is letting her bitterness, resentment and bias shine through... when she resorts to writing in that manner. Her style and tone would be more appropriate for her own far-left blog, or as a random OP on some Internet political discussion forum. It really serves no good purpose for Politico (or anyone) to continue this charade of pretending that she's some kind of serious journalist or reporter.
