Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: It's over Bernie! Voters rejected you. [View all]The Magistrate
(95,247 posts)A good man, a patriot, a person with the best interests of the people and our country, would do so. That instead he persists in his petty, egotistic jihad against the 'Democratic Establishment', when the need of the hour is concentrating all available forces to remove this cheap thug Trump from office, brands him as a worthless, foolish, self-important scold at best, with the worst he could be taken for left to the imagination of the reader. Whether you want to vote for him is the least important factor in the situation imaginable. I want a great many things which have not happened, and which are not going to happen, and I manage to bear up under the burden. You claim nigh on eighty years drawing breath on the planet, and still cannot see the mawkish irrelevance of 'it's my right to do some wholly futile gesture or other' in a time of crisis. The appropriate phrase would seem to be 'get over yourself'. You and your feelings are not nearly so important as all that. Grow up.
"From Bernies perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they dont want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."
"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
