they could be taken exactly the opposite of how I meant them. I hope my subsequent comments cleared it up.

You're going to do great here.

He is now a registered independent.
From the Houston paper https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/Ted-Cruz-Beto-O-Rourke-Whataburger-spicy-ketchup-13144032.php?utm_campaign=fb-desktop&utm_source=CMS+Sharing+Button&utm_medium=social
Ted Cruz's campaign issued a statement to the Star-Telegram on Thursday concerning the likeness of Beto O'Rourke's campaign logo and Whataburger's spicy ketchup.
As many social media users have pointed out, both black and white designs share some similarities.

Interesting. Yeah, we need your support. It remains to be seen if we need to cede control of the entire party to you.
I get plenty of 'my way or the highway' crap from the right. Now I need to be threatened from the left, too?
Whatever.
How about we decide things, oh, I don't know, democratically?

And I like you.
walk away convinced he is still progressive.
Tough task convincing a base of that reality after the horse is outta the barn & running amok.
(Two days in a row of this...seems, convenient...don't you think??)
No text to give.
It’s these attacks on reality that are completely unsustainable and look to be soundly rejected by the majority of the electorate — going on two years now.

Wtf ever.
Oh, please! GMAFB! Who is going to donate to, or support, or vote for Democrats when all they hear someone saying is that we're "no different" from Republicans, or that "Democrats are corrupt"?? That's the sort of thing that Nader and Stein say. It's indefensible and it's not helping.
There's NO amount of coddling that will change that type of voter. Fuck them. Fuck anyone who wants to hold the party hostage with those types of threats to not support the nominee because they believe it's "his turn". That's Susan Sarandon's message. FUCK HER TOO!
I'd rather see our Big-Tent party put more effort in being able to attract "center" and "center-right" voters. Those voters are much more plentiful than the ones you've been describing. They're also much more mature and reliable. Why alienate millions of centrist voters in the pursuit of a handful of 2020 malcontents who will "only vote for the Democratic nominee if it's Bernie".
You know perfectly well that the Democrats and the Democratic party is not "feeble"... and Democrats are not "corrupt"... and Democrats are not "ideologically bankrupt"... and the Democratic party is not "the party of the one-percent"... and that the Democratic party doesn't tolerate anyone making excuses for racism or dismissing racist voting patterns... and that the Democratic party is NOT "the same as the GOP".
Laugh it up! But I can assure you that correcting the record, and stating the facts, and pushing-back against the lies and smears is NOT "attacking" anyone. All I'm trying to say is that as loyal Democrats we are duty-bound to hold his feet to the fire.
he's bashed constantly.
he's bashed constantly.
Do us all a favor and please post them. Any thread that attacks Sanders would be hidden, as would any thread attacking progressive democrats.
But I'm sure you're correct. I'm sure there's a plethora of such threads...must miss them since I'm "not on here often" 
BUSTED.....
Amazing how that works. Thanks for the history lesson here Totally Tunsie

It's been a while since I've seen one of these.
(Letitia James - New York state Attorney General-elect)
We all know about AOC, but how many others? I'd like to measure the electoral strength of this group of "progressives" you're so obsessed with.
So what you're saying is that Bernie2020 supporters are the only progressives, eh?
Response to NurseJackie (Reply #186)
Glad to see no one is falling for this crap any more.
Thanks for showing me that! 
I live in the inland northwest and in a college town...lots of the students supported Bernie in the primary. I wonder how many of those did vote for tRump or didn’t vote at all because their guy didn’t win. I am not understanding this Bernie loyalty pledge that’s being asked of us at this time....that somehow he is owed something.
More and more "divide and conquer" tactics are going to be used to cause divisions on DU. It isn't going to get any better, probably a lot worse, but you know the old saying "trolls got troll"!
Why doesn't Bernie or his supporters get that? For some reason, when Bernie does it, he is the most beloved politician on the face of the planet.
For all your big tent talk you sure seem to want to push anyone out who doesn't conform to your idea of progressive.
Sorry charlie. That's not how the Democratic Party works.
And no one here is trashing progressive Democrats. Bernie is not being "bashed" and he is not a Democrat. His feet are being held to the fire this time. He will be vetted if he decides to run again. Deal with it.
Here's another bump. Just for you. Glad to have made you happy.
In some cases it's not difficult at all to tell friend from foe.
Because the party is incapable of listening.
Would hate to see anything happen to it.
Threats? Seriously?
A true classic
get attacked regularly.
precious feelings and unify now.
No... these attacks on our great Democratic party originate from a single source. There's no "we" about it. Just one source.
Smart, mature and rational Democrats live in the REAL WORLD... not Opposite World. That's a good omen!
I've presented nothing but factual information and rather than trying to explain or refute my post, I'm instead having to read name-calling and insults. When that's all one has to offer, then one has run out of arguments and is fighting their battle from a very weak and disadvantageous position.
And that's all I had to say!
Have a nice day, Gothmog!
who need people like me.
These opposite world campaigns are getting really old.
Seems like there's a scene or a skit for every occasion! 
It was specifically and solely a Eyeroll like so.... with a couple of .
Tootles!
I certainly agree with you. Unity is important. So is trust. How do the things I mentioned above contribute to any of those important things? How does DEFENDING those lies accomplish anything other than create division and distrust?
All I'm trying to say here is that pushing BACK against the lies isn't what's divisive... it's the lies themselves (and of course, defending the lies or making excuses for those who tell lies... that's divisive too.)
Didn't work on me when I was 7, doesn't work on me now.
