Sometimes I think you people really can't remember further back than 24 hours at a time. You should get this shit tattooed on your body like in the movie, Memento.

A staunch supporter of Democrats? Really? He may have caucused with him—because it's not like he could caucus with the Republicans and he'd have to caucus with someone to get anything done—but he is hardly what you could call a staunch supporter.



How about actually being a Democrat?

The fork is so dark ages. We use a popup timer now to tell when the fowl is done.

Like the little pop-ups in the Butterballs? Got it. It looked sort of like a hypodermic needle or something.
"Stick a meat thermometer in him, he's done," is still kinda rude, but not as bad as the fork.

Frankly I'd rather lighten up all the vitriol and anger. When we should really worry is when our nominee is going up against Trump. Whatever folks think of Hillary or Bernie, they are worlds better than that disaster. He'd probably have us in a nuclear war.

He's not my ideal candidate, but he is worlds better than anything the Republicans have to offer. The only saving grace of Trump is that he probably doesn't actually believe 90% of the things he spouts and contradicts himself constantly so we probably have no idea what he'd actually enact, but I still think he'd be the worst president we've ever had.

Not yet. If things don't go the way I've been working for and contributing toward, I'll need time.
But, hey, that's just one of two possible futures.
And I ain't giving up yet.

Best wishes to you!

We each own ours. I do think it's frighting to think what sitting this one out might mean, but then people say that every election so who knows. At the end of the day, nobody has a right to determine what we put to paper in the ballot box.

Best wishes to you as well!

After the way people who claim to be Democrats have been acting during this Primary it would be hypocritical.
That argument is lost now.
We can't complain about rigged elections if we overlook it in our own.

Both Sanders and Clinton themselves have questioned irregularities. People have been fired. Internal investigations are underway.

I am keeping a close eye on what is being looked into in NY and other places. I won't even think about commenting about it on DU in a grand way because many Clinton supporters want to incorrectly gloss over it and many Sanders supporters have turned it into an insane witch hunt often treating unnamed Twitter sources as verified news.

But look the other direction I have not. We have some issues.

This really is one of the best reasons to run until the convention.
By running hard and taxing the polls with tons of voters it makes a great dry run.
If Bernie dropped out then we wouldn't know where the problems might arise.
I just think we all lost a little high ground on the subject.

But if your candidate wins the nom, you will hear much more about oligarchy and third way.
