2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Who We Are [View all]stupidicus
(2,570 posts)there'ws little to nothing that a Clinton supporter/thirdwayer could possibly say that I haven't seen before.
The simple fact of the matter is politics isn't the only thing they share in common with their rightwing cousins. As I've long observed and noted around here, starting with my participation prior to the last election, they also share their ways and means of "debating" -- like with the demonization and assorted other dodges.
ANd like with the like efforts of their cousins, it generally only leads to another in a long list of examples of where they become the best witnesses for their own prosecution, as the HC camps lies of late have shown.
This election has been a no-brainer for me from the beginning by merely weighing their past and present policy proposals and support, and things like judgement and character that flow from those positions.
It's all Bush's fault imo. Had we not had to ignore the flaws in the Clinton admin under discussion today like criminal justice and welfare reform, or his wmd lies, etc, in unity against the very real threat of rightwingnuttery we were all victimized by, we could had this intra-party battle long ago.
As I noted back then as well in my battles with the BHO-enamored crowd using the same tactics to silence his critics prior to the 2012 election, the BS-supporting/3rdway rejecting type like me likely outnumber them here on DU and in the wider electorate. It is of course my hope that the latter is established this election as the former has been in the interim.
