2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Count Down [View all]NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)110. I'm dreaming with you!
Thank you so much for posting this, H20 Man; I've always enjoyed your thoughtful posts, even when I disagree somewhat. (I definitely don't disagree here.)
I have a preferred candidate. but any one of the three Democrats running would be infinitely better than any of the Republicans. Period. We can certainly debate the merits/demerits of the three Dems, but we cannot and must not seriously think, as some did in the Bush/Gore campaigns, that there is little or no difference between the two parties and their candidates. Yes, right here on DU people actually said there was no difference between Bush and Gore! That's when I get angry, when I see things like that.
Anyway, thanks again for your very useful and intelligent post.
