Peeps who realize that frinkiac is the greatest resource for humanity since the polyurethane wheel get a star from me.

Thank you for making a much more cogent point than I could have ever made in regards to the primary and the wisdom the party should have gleaned from it (I’m still far too resentful to discuss it calmly).

I’m still excited about her. I may not agree with everything that may have happened under her tenure as AG, and I hold her responsible for that even if she wasn’t directly involved. But I also know that no candidate will be flawless, many still have some evolving to do, and they may still make a fantastic President…

She also wouldn’t have defended white-supremacists. Yeah!

Yeah. Funny how Barack Obama has a ton of personality, and everyone loves him. Maybe there’s something there?

Excellent idea for compromising. Give up ground before the fight even starts.

No, he excited people. People wanted to hear what he had to say. He drew record-breaking crowds. Her, not so much.

And these almost exact words were said in one of the Sanders-Clinton debates and I cringed when she said it. There was a scattering of boos. It wasn’t good.

Warren isn’t a septuagenarian yet, but I suppose she would be in 2020.

She also made the classic establishment blunder of seeming to be running solely because she felt it was her turn and “owed” it by the party, not because of any really vision or message. That’s usually a Republican mistake (see McCain, Romney, Dole, etc)

Joe Biden and those 50 other democrats are also not qualified to be president.

The problem with Clinton is she is so paranoid and guarded, so her message was so carefully picked over and tested as to render it completely bland, canned, and paralyzed her from the outreach and openness she needed. Trump, on the other hand, is so shameless and needy, his out of control id demanding he be in the…

Voted for her but also glad she’s not running again. No more boomers, they’ve done enough damage to this country.

I think some “when they go low, we go high” tactics are good and necessary. My problem is that the Democratic leadership misunderstands that concept and keeps being surprised when their opponents go low. They were warned again and again about various voter disenfranchisement efforts and they seemed to prepare for it…

I wasn’t assigning blame. I’d be here all day if I were. It’s not like things suddenly became shitty after the 2008 financial crisis. The Reagan years mark the most obvious turning point, but a lot of politicians from both sides of the aisle have helped along the snowballing of income inequality through action and…

She probably wouldn’t have tried to ban Muslims from entering the US on multiple occasions, stacked her cabinet with the biggest load of unqualified cronies ever seen, and reneged on an official agreement between the federal government and 800,000 people who immigrated illegally through no fault of their own. Her…

Hilary Clinton was not more qualified than Joe Biden and certainly less likable. The centrist, neo liberal, blue dog, wing of the Democratic Party, which Clinton is part of, has run the party for the last 25 years and should be held responsible for its success and failure.

I’m just now learning about the concept of restorative justice as opposed to retributive justice, after reading about how small Indigenous communities in Oregon have been able to use their sovereign status to develop culturally-based criminal justice systems. I’ve always questioned the mindset of cops, as in who says…

Did the 2010 census and redistricting catch the DNC off guard? It happens every ten years.

She wouldn’t have destroyed our standing with the world, nor would she ducked out of the climate treaty either. Trump is literally “world threatening”.
