I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

No one is causing Trump to win if he were to somehow miraculously win but the party that had a candidate that couldnt win the votes they needed because its not what people wanted.

But yes, gently caress me. The attacks show such unity. Great party, tons of fun.

Are people loving booing the woman talking about how her daughter's life was ruined by addiction and her grandchild almost got taken away?

She supports Clinton and not the old man from Vermont who thinks that the solution to heroin issues is to stop giving so dag many pain pills to people, while ignoring that it's already next to impossible to get needed pain medication for many Americans.

Trump is now ahead in the RealClearPolitics average of polls. There's nothing inevitable about a Clinton victory. You seem to think this is an intellectual exercise and not a battle for the literal future of the world.

Demographics don't support a Republican president, check your vacuum lines because you're not accelerating that quickly

so did you miss the literal "can we start a white progressive party" quote. And these are "the people who actually understand"?

So your solution is to side with white supremacists, for some reason? What?

You might wanna check your figures, 10 million votes is something like 38% of all votes cast in the primary

Bernie wasn't doing poo poo for us. Yea, he marched a few times in the 60's, but he couldn't even bother coming down to where the most of us live and throw us a loving bone during the primaries. He only started talking about his Civil Rights record when he realized he wasn't getting our votes.

lol I wasnt even trying to get into my politics because it sounds like I am some diehard Sanders supporter which is the furthest thing from the truth, he is just the first worthwhile candidate to me, but if you think his platform (which is now adopted) didnt do poo poo for you, and that "marching a few times" for the rights of black people instead of demonizing them or supporting groups that demonize them is not worth as much as coming to your town to put on party and pander to you personally about having hot sauce in his purse, then you kinda deserve things not getting any better for you.

Also, just because Bernie has asked his supporters to tone it down doesn't mean that they are being hypocrites or whatever for not doing so. These are a group of voters who are rallying around issues that they feel (sometimes correctly) are not being represented by the platform. Bernie isn't their god. They feel frustrated and want to speak out and they are doing so.

It does fit into the accusation that this supporters don't actually care about him or his values, and only about his cult of personality and sense of righteousness. Booing Hillary Clinton doesn't actually rally around any issue at all. Bernie's gotten more power in losing the primary than he's had in his decades in congress. His issues are in the platform, DWS is gone, and there is no conceivable scenario in which anything the DNC actually did made Hillary lose and Bernie win.

Their frustrations appear to be, more than anything, being on the losing side. Taking everyone down with you and helping (or even voting for) Donald Trump doesn't prove anything to those people who you haven't convinced except that you're a sore loser.

Sanders has great and important ideas but there were several signs during the campaign he didn't have the range of issues a president has to deal with

his foreign policy was basically the sound of crickets

Im not trying to persuade anyone of anything. There is no such possible thing. Privilege is strong and everyone is always right to themselves. I just dont sit back and let people have their party without being called on their poo poo when the time and place is right. And the internet is a much better place to do that then a convention that represents us, so Im doing it.

treat it as a public health issue, focus on treatment, better equip local cops to handle addicts than 'beat them to death and/or throw them in a cell to DT'
