(11,175 posts)Yeah, "the silence of the OP," right. I conspicuously failed to provide a complete roster of each of the 450 candidates, their demographics, the races they're in, their policy positions, and their proofs of loyalty to DU orthodoxy. The obvious inference is that they all hate the Democratic Party and are probably being bankrolled by the Russians and/or the Koch brothers. That would explain why Bernie Sanders spoke at the event, although tarring Elizabeth Warren with the same brush might be a bit much even for the Bernie-bashing brigade.
Of course, another possible inference is that my post included the link to the article and that the linked article constitutes the sum and substance of my knowledge of this event.
But, hey, it's much more fun to engage in guilt by association. The event was sponsored by two groups that don't agree with you 100%, therefore the whole thing was evil. Allowing for the possibility of nuance would take too long.
