I hope we can all learn something from today

I'd love nothing more than to see the Hillary and Bernie camps carry on the solidarity we saw today. And it would be such a nice fuck you to all the right wing morons if the Republicans wasted $4M of our tax dollars in an attempt to make Hillary look bad which not only failed, but brought our two factions closer together.

Waddaya say, folks? Can we turn the ceasefire into a truce?

I won't get into all this silly DU bickering about candidates.

There seem to be just a few on each side that just can't stop themselves.

I couldn't give a rat's ass about the Benghazi hearings. They've been a political farce since 2013, since the real issues around Stevens' death will never be discussed. Has no impact on my primary support or vote.

Glad this has been put to bed forever.

While it is sad 4 people died, countless people are dying here and there and the repubs don't give a fig about them.

We still need to talk about the issue, Whoisnumberone and we will still disagree because there are some huge differences on issues that are important to each of us.

I hear that before 1968, the conventions were raucus.

We have a lot of issues to discuss. I won't call names of course. But, if I see people being disingenuous there is a good chance I will call them on it.

Any other time I would support Hillary but we really need to call Reaganomics the failure it is and get Wall Street's claws out of OUR government. So, I'm supporting the Liberal.

I think the criticism can come in a way that doesn't bash Clinton supporters, though, and that's my approach.

And actually, I wouldn't mind a ramp up of criticism, if it doesn't bash supporters. It's not hard to do but it's really difficult when these social media games become against other people.
