(11,122 posts)Again. You want to castigate someone for doing exactly what you do. So like Gillibrand.
Again. You seem to not read my posts. You act like a press office with a message to get out regardless of the dialogue.
Again. You just seem oblivious to the fact that Democrats hold Gillibrand responsible for this travesty, this nastiness, this inept political move. The hold her responsible because she rushed into take the credit, then chicken-shitted out when it didn't garner her the praise she so stupidly thought it would give her.
Again. You continue a thread, bumping it to the top with your every post, that condemns your hero. This thread represents the animosity of the Democratic rank and file for the political stupidity that Gillibrand and her "followers" committed. Totally out of touch with the base of the Democratic party. Totally vested in political advancement at the expense of any sense of decency and morality. Totally in thrall to the polls, which were obviously wrong. (Another sign of political inexperience or leadership.) No one is reading what we are writing. But they are reading the OP and the many posts agreeing with the position that Franken was screwed by a group of inept politicians following the lead of an more inept politician.
Again. You miss the point that the only way out of this is to lay low. Do something beneficial or wise or effective as a Democrat. Hope that it blows over eventually. Overtime the incident is brought up Democrats will seethe with the wrongness of the actions of the inept gang.
(Of course the senator could apologize to Al Franken. Could admit screwing up. Could ask for forgiveness. But Gillibrand admitting error is about as likely as trump doing so.)
