Just waiting for the “Lock her up” chanting to start. FFS, this is really not needed right now. I’m really disappointed with Rashida Tlaib.

That right there is why so many of us are turned off from voting for Sanders.

Fucking 65 million people voted for Hillary and many of them were happy to do so. You need those voters, stop ostracizing everyone who’s not 💯 on Bernie. That’s Trumpian, destructive, and will lead to yet another victory for the GOP.
I’m seriously so fucking pissed right now. She even had a moment to step away from booing, yet she kept on with the “Yeah, we’re going to boo” bullshit.

Criticize her, point out where you disagree with her, whatever. But booing? That's some fucking Trumpian performance theater and it's disgusting.

I understand being upset about Hillary’s comments toward Bernie if he’s your candidate. But that’s not how you handle it.

And again. Show me the lie (in regards to what Hillary said).
Hillary. Was. Right. About Trump. About everything.
She may be many things, but wrong is not one of them.

It’s interesting to lurk this thread. I feel like I have nothing to add, because my primary isn’t until May. Only once have I gotten to vote in a primary that actually mattered (Obama v Hillary). In 2016 the race was still going, but I chose to hold my nose and vote in the republican primary instead because I so desperately did not want Mike Braun to win the nomination for US Senate. (Spoiler it didn’t work). Our primaries are open; you just tell them which ballot to give you when you go. Often our more local races end up unopposed because no democrat even tries to run. So voting in the R primary is often the only way to get my voice heard. I end up researching everyone and voting for the person who seems like the least likely to fuck things up. In November, I will be voting blue no matter who. We have open primaries here too and I know of quite a few people who took Republican ballots in 2016 bc they were freaked out about Trump. I considered doing so as well but did not, in the end, and Rubio carried NoVA anyway

I actually really like Yang. Not for President, mind you, but I think he really has a pulse on what technology will mean in the upcoming years and decades. Someone like that having some actual power to influence policy is huge. That being said, I would never equate Bernie and Yang. The best I can tell, they both just have nicknames that are a bit of an earworm. Also, team #nomoreyellingoldwhitemen. I think Yang would make a great cabinet Secretary

Stacy Abrams says she’ll be president by 2040. She said it was her plan and she is very pragmatic. Ok, woman. Do the damn thing. I love this woman. She's just out there putting everyone on notice. Amazing. Oh and I 100% believe her and am going to help her make it happen

And look - I’m not tone policing another woman. But this is hella frustrating. If that’s how she feels and wants to act she is free to do so. I’m not demanding she have respect for HRC. I just find the mean girl, look at me you know I’m such a badass and can’t hold back attitude only to walk it back hours later more than a little FAKE. If she wants to make a point and distance her and her candidate from HRC she should do so and let the chips fall.

I would get behind Biden IF he runs for a single term and has someone like Kamala as VEEP with the understanding that she becomes the presumptive nominee in 2024 I truly don't believe it's a good idea to tie any candidate's hands so much - at any level, for any office. If nothing else, circumstances can change dramatically and what seemed reasonable in 2020 may be the height of folly in 2024. Should all the candidates have a VP candidate that could assume the presidency if required - sure, and I bet Biden thinks long and hard about this - not just due to his age, but I bet both he and Obama thought a tragedy could occur and Biden might have to step up. I cannot imagine what sort of threats the SS had to deal with during the Obama years that were never made public. Now, if contingent deals behind the scenes are made, well, not the first or last time. I still have the sinking feeling that the election is just being handed to Trump. That the Dems are practically the funhouse mirror of the 2016 Republican nominating process.

The moderator actively tried to shut the booing down and she encouraged them. Like get the fuck out of here with that. Focus on something that matters rather than someone who has been out of things for 4 years now.

Your 2018 post (which I didn't look at the date, bad me) was showing as most current after some of the talk about the Clinton booing. Something is amiss for me. That said, a very similar conversation just occurred for my neighbor, so guess it's still somewhat current? Although her conversation involved Biden and Booker as a team.

I just got a notification of greykitty's reply to me and I was like, "I haven't supported a single term pledge for awhile and have argued against it on this board" so I clicked on the quoted post and it is from December 2018. I think tapatalk is messing with us

dc2london, thank you for your understanding! BTW, thought of you yesterday when I saw the movie Last Full Measure. IIRC, you're a Bradley Whitford fan? He had a smaller role, but really sold it IMO - and made me miss him from the West Wing. Actually, the entire cast was really stellar. Also made me mad that our soldiers currently have just the worst CIC ever. Anyone serving deserves better leadership.

Wow reading the beginning of this thread is wild.
Also, I was going to ask if you guys want to start a fresh primary thread on Monday once the actual voting happens.

It's sentimental in places, but based on a true story about decades-long efforts to get a posthumous Medal of Honor for a Viet Nam pararescue pilot. I think it was filmed in 2017, and includes Peter Fonda's last performance. I bet it'll end up on Netflix or somewhere fairly soon. But, I can see why the story itself attracted the names it did. I admit, I went more for the cast on a Friday matinee, and knew very little of the story, but I had my kleenex out by the end. Viet Nam vets were not treated the way we should have cared for the IMO, and in hindsight - the county was so torn apart back then it was hard to separate opposition to the war itself from the men and women caught up in it. And, again, came away thinking I suspect Trump has no real idea of his duty to, and responsibility for, to our armed forces, and is not worthy of 'leading' them in any way. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_last_full_measure_2018
