2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"Qualified" is now the D version of hand size
I have my own idea of what happened, but which one said it first or tricked the other into saying it is of less-than-zero concern to everyone outside this tiny bubble of yap-yap-yapping. This kind of politicians' personal comedy can only serve the status quo. Nobody you actually want to address in this campaign cares. The voters care about their own lives and the future. It's the Sanders supporters I'm disappointed in here. Don't fall for the daily distraction. Talk about issues, work to organize, push our own points of substance, do it mostly outside this forum, and we will win.

(35,015 posts)Bernie said as much in his comments - he wants to talk about the issues, the things that matter to the people. But then, he was compelled to say something about the disqualified smear. I'm glad he did.
Do you remember the vile swiftboating of John Kerry? He tried to stay above it but remaining silent didn't work.
We need to move on from this now and continue to talk about the things that matter. That's what Bernie will do, and his supporters as well.

(1,377 posts)When the anger should be at the WaPo for lying in a head line. They will not call out the WaPo for it because WaPo has done it whole campaign and the love it.
