2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Email From Debbie Wasserman Schultz... Starting Lesser of Two Evils Argument Already? [View all]Hulk
(6,699 posts)33. "The lesser of two evils" is how I ALWAYS saw elections b4 Obama.
I've been spoiled, and I'm not going back. How excited would you be for Dukakis? Mondale? Humphrey? They may have been good men, but they were certainly nothing that excited anyone. Pitch those names against Reagan, HW Bush or Nixon....and it was just enough to vote for anyone.
Now we have a choice. We had a choice in 2008 and 2012, and it electrified the base. Now we have Bernie and HRC, and you tell me, WHO is the Dukakis in this race?

The most frustrating part about a republican president is the appeasement from Dems in congress.

Yes, this email clearly plays into Hillary's arguments (in keeping with her DLC roots)

If the party is actively working against my candidate, why, again, should I support the party?
