Dems have to reject this circular firing meme. We are being played. I voted for Bernie. I voted for Hillary in the general with great enthusiasm.
No more looking back.

It's not about looking back, I think. Some are so thin skinned they cannot tolerate anyone calling out the man for what he's freely saying, repeatedly.

We're not the party that promotes religious idolatry over a politician. If one of our leaders says something stupid, we should be calling them out, and if they keep doing so, question why they're leading and whom they are leading. I don't care who it is, that's a basic part of being a responsible and engaged citizen.

than during the whole primary season. SCROTUS is an existential threat but DU is all wrapped up in refighting the primaries?? Guess some people can't stop picking at scabs.

And get us back on track. I do not understand RWers. I read Trumps 100 day accomplishments--he thinks he's done a lot because of executive orders, and certain companies have promised to promote American jobs in response to his...jargon.

Meanwhile the actual effects of deregulation and while simultaneously attacking Canada while dropping random
Big bombs are not conducive to a stable economy, not, that I'm a economist.

I don't get the attraction for Trump. Not to make light of a very serious topic, but I don't get the same attraction for Trump, the same way I don't understand how the mind of a pedophile works.

I got a little carried away with my post, and got a little wordy, but I not only want to trash Trump, I also want him IN the trash, along with his band of not-so-merry thieves. First working day of January, 2019 would be none too soon for me.

In the beginning I was a staunch supporter of Bernie. But with the crap that went on, after the primaries, and that other website (JPR), DU went though some horrible growing pains, and I was sucked along with it, like being trapped and dragged along in some raging river. I did vote for Hillary in the main election, but there were a few here who thought I was in Trump's camp. I told them...

"Hey! I am the kind of person, Trump would love to ship back to "China", why would you even think I would vote for that buffoon?"

I have also been clobbered so many times, being a Bernie Supporter, that I left that group, and vowed to Vote for Hillary and stay out of the Election group section.

The fighting was so intense there, that I just hated to be caught up in it. Said I would mostly post news from Asia and did that for a while. It became tiresome, but at least it kept me from being wrapped up in another scandal and branded with a stupid label.
