"Thanks in part to the hard work of Amy, Luis, and Brad, the Democratic Party has adopted the most progressive platform in history, has put itself in financial position to win in November, and has begun the important work of investing in state party partnerships," Brazile said in a statement. "I’m so grateful for their commitment to this cause, and I wish them continued success in the next chapter of their career.”




No mention they did anything wrong just praise. I wonder why they resigned? Apparently they were doing a damn fine job.

They were doing a fine job, but seemingly broke campaign laws by colluding on behalf of the DNC to promote Hillary over Bernie.

This was wrong.

They took responsibility for their actions and resigned, which was the right thing to do.

They have may taken responsibility by resigning. All the Official DNC Donna Brazile offered was praise. Should Donna have condemned it?

In regular life when some employee commits some bad act the parent company fires the employee or let's them resign. Then they claim that the employee's action does not represent the corporate view.

This may be bullshit but in the DNCs case they praise them.

To be fair this happen's all over the place in life. She we accept this bullshit from anyone?

Yep. It is all OK if everyone is doing it. Just fine. We should never expect more.

No. There are three reasons to vote for the Democratic Party's nominee this cycle and they have nothing specifically to do with Hillary or blind adherence to a Party.

First, we were able to move the public policy agenda of the party is the direction that the country needs to continue to move in the direction of peace and prosperity. That was accomplished by the huge support that Bernie got within the party and the way he was able to leverage it for changes in the platform.

Second, The GOP nominee is a demagogue who has no plan, public policy foundation, foreign policy knowledge and is temperamentally unfit for the office. He simply cannot handle the pressure and represents a real danger to the country were he to become president. This cannot be over emphasized.

Third, the next president is going to nominate two and maybe three Justices to the SJC. The country simply cannot afford to have another Scalia or a Thomas on the court.

In the last two election cycles I voted Libertarian. I registered as a Democrat this cycle to vote for Bernie in the primaries. However I have been a dues paying Libertarian since 2009 (I am pretty sure, maybe 2008). In fact it pains me that I cannot in good conscience cast a vote for an incredible pair like Johnson/Weld for the Libertarian ticket.

In the final analysis, the risk is too great that this GOP demagogue slips into office. So, the best, mature and forward thinking and reasonable choice for the country in 2016 is to cast a Vote for Hillary Clinton. And it is a vote that can be cast with your head held high. She certainly is qualified, has the temperament and has the ability to get good people in positions of power. Plus, given a Democrat-controlled Senate and a powerful Bernie and Warren the Wall Street and Hawk-like Clinton tendencies will be mitigated.

That is all.

From your point of view, I agree with what you're saying...

From the point of view of someone who has watched her for years with her finger in the wind and all decisions based upon nothing more than the polling and focus-grouping of the moment...,



How the hell can you trust her to stick to the script when all those rich cronies and foreign entities are bribing her to get what they want out of her, and once she goes against what ya'll see as your interests, she'll simply lie to your face about it and the press and party will back her 100%

Honestly, good luck with that.

Hmmm...

Funny in the past, on SCOTUS appointments, if a Republican is in office, the bipartisan demand has always been for balance. Now the Democrats are telling us in pure partisan fashion, we are not about to have Constitutionalists on the court, our goal is to pack it with even more SJWs...

 

[RobDownSouth]

Yep. It is all OK if everyone is doing it. Just fine. We should never expect more.

You seem rather jaded. Bitter, in fact.

As far as I know, the DNC workers leaving their jobs will receive no cushy severance packages, so it's a start, right?

Keep in mind, Chief, that until very recently the Supreme Court was packed with extreme right wing judicial activists (Scalia, Thomas, and Alito) who had little to no respect for precedent and routinely legislated from the bench.

Someone to balance out these extremists was essential. The last time the so-called liberal faction had anything close to extremists was arguably William Douglas and Thurgood Marshall, and it's been a quarter century since they served.

I think Garrick is an excellent moderate choice to replace Scalia, but today's Senate won't give him the courtesy of a hearing. I'm hoping that the Democrats take the Senate this year, and we can get some centrists and liberals to more accurately reflect the evolving makeup of the electorate.

The entertaining thing about this thread is no matter what is said, no matter what poisonous rhetoric, baseless theories, facts, proof or logical arguments are made, the majority flapping their gums ain't gunna listen and it ain't gunna change any minds. None. Nada. Zip. That being said, like everyone else here I just had to put in my penny's worth.

To the OP: You seem to have selective hearing and vision. I can not say there isn't some of what you say coming from the Dem side of this. Hell you have the Bernie Dem's doing the same thing to Hillary as you say the whole of the party is doing to Trump. BUT, have you really listened to what's coming out of the mans mouth? And as far as the accusation of "phobias, racist (their favorite), stupid, ignorant" if it walks like a duck and well you know the rest, then it just might be don't you think? I am not entranced with either candidate, but I do know a loose cannon when I see you. Look up that term. The term came from the navy. Loose cannons weren't just something that was inconvenient. When a cannon came loose from it's moorings in battle it was a killer and could sink the ship. That is EXACTLY what Trump is.

To AJ: Really AJ? Really? Why is it that in the vast majority of political "discussions" you rarely, rarely argue the Libertarian view point when that's what you claim when asked? Like this thread you always come down on the side of ultra conservatism, yet try to convince those who read it that you're not. Yea, and a pig don't root in the mud either. Beyond that you're trying to convince the reader that the liberals are nasty, name calling, hateful, slavering blind bashers and have been for a long time. And by omission and construction of your post trying to infer that conservatives are victims of the abuse you mention. I've been here as long as you and have been through the same number of presidential elections and I can say unequivocally that here on this board, one side doesn't have the moral high ground over the other. There are those from both sides who use opinion as fact, rumor as gospel and name calling as if it will win the day. It won't. All it does is cause a larger rift. Anyone who has their mind already made up, anyone who is insulted to the point of anger isn't going to consider the opposing view point no matter how many facts, figures charts or documents are presented. An angry person automatically closes their mind and refuses to consider anything from the attacker. And that Sir has been going on for years from both sides.

To BBoy: You are one angry dude, dude. Two points I need to address here. The first, government regulation: How many people really want regulation? Let's see a show of hands. You in the back, put your damned hand down you're the one that wrote the damn thing. My point is the majority of us don't. I would love to have no regulations at all. I'd love to live under anarchy, each of us doing exactly what we wished to do. But that ain't gunna happen. We need regulations to live together. We as humans always have. In some places and times it was mandated by those who ruled, in others it was mandated by those who lived under them. Here it's a combination. I can't say all regulations are needed or serve a purpose, the majority of them do however do. If you want to blame a culprit it ain't the government. The big G is just the mechanism that gets it done. The base problem, the reason for more and more regulation is simple: population. The denser the population, the more regulations and rules are needed to keep things from going to hell in a hand basket. It's as simple as that. The cure? Not so simple. My thought? ZPG (zero population growth). A simple thing to say, an oh so complicated thing to do.

Trump. The Trumpster, the Donald, the flim flam man. you really are going to vote for him? you'll take the guy without a plan? Even though it's been proven over and over that the Donald is in this for one thing, to benefit the Donald? That and the fact that he has neither the temperament, training or ability to govern? While I am no fan of Hillary, it's apparent to me that she is far and way more qualified, can and will be better accepted by the leaders of the world and (for the most part) have the welfare of the nation at heart. I would love to vote for another candidate, but there isn't another who could seriously win. Johnson? Nope. He hasn't even gotten to 10% in the polls. And until the election process is made a level field, until all the money that is poured into it from all directions is halted, until each candidate is given a chance to be equally heard, a third party candidate stands a snowball's chance in hell of getting elected. So, for me, it's the bad or the down right scary. I can not sit by and throw my vote to a third party candidate when there is such a danger as the Trumpster looming on the horizon. Hillary has her faults god knows, but she isn't an erratic wreaking crew like Trump. Governing a country, filling the most powerful position in the world takes more then self centered, narcissism. It takes the ability to listen, learn and lead.
Trump has none of those qualities.
'nuff said.

Putting a penny's worth on your strap-on sucking which then ensued is inflation at its greatest use, gramps.

It's not okay. But at what point does expecting more of your own without getting that from the opposition defeat the purpose.

Morality is a luxury only winners can afford.

Yeah, zero population growth with an underfunded, pay as you go ponzi scheme called social security.

That will fix things.

It's right up there with government regulation sticking it to the 1% and fixing wealth inequality LOL

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

Don't you worry about "Lib Venom."

The real problem here is Trump. Trump and his mother fucking god damn hate. He's a dark, dark hater. The whole thing is dark. It's all about hate; everybody that doesn't support Hillary is a hater. They hate with a darkness that you can't help but hate if you are any kind of a decent human being.

In the conclusion: the whole thing is dark, just a dark hate.

Scott Adams called it, that the use of the word "Dark" would gain a lot of traction. I like seeing how it is sunk into your consciousness without your even realizing you have been manipulated into using the term over and over again.

Clinton Uses dark Magic

Or did you think you came up with that word to describe Trump on your own?

I'm independent. I think both sides are full of nothing but interest group controlled money grubbing bastards all full of themselves and not really giving two shits about the constituents that gave them power. But we have a two party system what ya gonna do?

Dismantle it.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Call me when we have the Constitutional Convention.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Comshaw, you are an idiot when you claim that I do not argue the Libertarian viewpoint, especially on economic matters.

On social matters, you will find a very mixed bag even among Libertarians.

So please, feel free to ignore me, I'm not going to answer to your purity tests.

Actually, I was poking fun.

Your observations are 100% spot-on especially when you are calling out the idea that people seem to think that they themselves came up with this idea about dark.

I had the same observation as you the other day as "Que" with someone here who argued that, no they were watching the convention and it just seemed, "dark to them just really dark."

I have been working on dialing back sarcastic parody to less than snark, with a ring of truth. I'm pleased it sounded sincere. The hope is reflecting such ideas back makes people think, rather than adopt a defensive posture. No success of note, mind.

That little speech that I penned that you quoted is not verbatim but it is taken from various actual statements made by other posters here on the board.

I've been in a real apolitical mood for the last couple of years so all the websites and blogs that I used to read on left and right, I don't bother with. I rarely pick up a paper and I have no TV. well actually I have one but it's not connected to anything not even over the air signals. From a technology standpoint, I'm probably living more Eyer than Eyer. When I turn on the radio it's for music.

What I'm doing more than anything, is just absorbing the tenor of what's going on in the nation strictly from what I see on the general board. I'm not at all behind the times because of course the themes never change, just the marketing and branding does. Obviously from time to time I Google this or that to see what the hell they're talking about. If someone links an article rather than an insipid newsreader videoclip, I read those, and follow rabbit holes.

[LadyFunkenstein]

The GB is a terrible place to gather the tenor of the nation and is a shitty new aggregator. I would say 5% of the people who post are able to discuss a current event issue without political bias. People here flip out like children and even verbally attack you if you even ponder something they think you shouldn't. I don't know anyone IRL who acts like that. Intellectual dishonest reigns supreme over the GB.

"Trump Trumps the Liberals’ Fake Outrage Clichés"


Wishful thinking, in my opinion. Trump will need a miracle to overcome the forces massed against him, including the press. The fact the press has so blatantly taken sides should be of great concern to every American, but obviously it isn't.

The only reason Trump is the nominee is because of all the free advertising the press gave him. His run started out as a PR stunt and there's nobody more surprised than he that he actually got the nomination.
