Because nothing will ever convince you that you're materially wrong. You just keep moving goalposts and this whole line of talking to you the brickwall is useless.

What would make you say that? I'm sure she has said what your saying, but I feel like you are implying that it was bigger in her campaign than trump was, or that you may be implying that it even was significant compared to trump talk

It's almost like the media didn't cover her fairly, and you, by not taking your civic duty seriously and doing some research, and instead kvetching because mommy didn't bake you cookies, are being a ginormous moron right now trying to relitigate the primary and the campaign?

I guess it is true that that is not an interrogative statement. I really mean it though, she really goofed up on that. Heck she could probably have drowned out the e-mail stuff if she had talked about that instead of trump.

Oh, you're the moron who sat in the culture war thread for three days who couldn't figure out why people shouldn't murder each other, like a little toddler.

It's pretty funny to hear you talk about this campaign like you know anything, then. It's not like the media went completely insane with the emails thing, and like, the FBI director didn't pull some last minute loving shenanigans with the emails poo poo.

I don't know, it seems like trump saying lots of shocking things seemed to keep people distracted from his russian piss parties.

But yeah boned up on the state of affairs through op, and Ellison has won? seems pretty nice, since bern and afl-cio support. From op, Perez would have also been okay, so I'm not sure what is the problem?

Platform doesn't mean poo poo it's who us pushing it and how authentic they are.

It's almost like a left right political scale is utterly, utterly irrelevant and it's solely about charisma. But if that were true you'd have things like insisting the guy who talked about how there is no liberal America or conservative America was totally a Marx quoting revolutionary trying to smash the capitalist system.

And if that were the case there would be no point in the slightest in dems ever making a single concession to the nebulously associated and self defined left since they are just looking for a cult of personality to attach themselves to, and treating them like they have coherent ideological requests is just stupid.

Hm? I get the feeling I understand why not to murder people, but it seems when I ask people to elucidate why they concur, they clam up.

Because I think it is enjoyable, It apparently has to do with organizing campaigns, which seems pretty relevant to what I've been thinking about, and I imagine the chair leads the organizations efforts, and probably other stuff too, and no, apparently people get pretty frustrated by low level questions, which is probably because you guys assume I'm intending to be a smart aleck. Only partially, because I've deluded myself into thinking I'm a lovely knock off socrates, but the other half is honestly wanting to get some answers, because I think we are both assuming the other is saying stuff that they aren't, and not hearing a whole bunch of implied stuff we forgot to articulate.

I also get why not to be racist, I just wonder why people think that there can be no reasonable justification for why people would want to not be racist. It is, once again, bleak sounding to say that we must think racism is only bad because someone said so, and not for the way it poisons every part of life, and makes things worse for everyone, even the racists.

It doesn't sound too bad from the site, but After the first mention of free-tuition, it just starts talking about student debt, and all that.

I would still have preferred to hear commercials about that, instead of ones about trump.
