is certainly entitled to her opinion.

I appreciate the time it took to type all those interesting words.

I will be voting for the Democratic candidate for president, because I'm tired of the bullshit and people looking for fecking unicorns.

I've gotten to the point where if a Dead Slug had a D after its name and Jesus Christ had an R after his, I'd be voting for Dead Slug.

but I am weary of this media driven divisiveness.

Sorry, but I beyond finding anything humorous in this anymore.

The OP indicated that the NPR commentary was discussing the narrative of divisiveness or potential divisiveness. My frustration is with the commentator and the narrative.

It's not a revolution. It's evolution.

And there are no fecking unicorns.

And the perfect is the enemy of the good.

I'm too goddamn old for purity tests and perfection and 'If I don't get a rainbow colored pony who poops M&M's then I'm going to go in the garden and eat worms' voters.

because Trump thinks he is and Pat Robertson said he had mandate from god LOL oh my god i can't believe he said that. How twisted religion in America has become, if it weren't bad enough already.

The country turns more to the right.

Every single time.

Participate and push.

Boycott and despair some more.

Can we afford four more years of the incompetent in chief and his incompetent minions? I don't think so. It would only get much, much worse.

Some think if we hit rock bottom, we will see the progressive light. Yet, history tells us a very different story.

Vote! Participate and push!

I really get tired of this divisive commentary from the media. People will turn out and vote if the nominee can energize them to do so it is as simple as that. A candidate wants my vote tell me what you are going to do for me, not how bad the other side is (I already know that part).

But there is nothing remotely normal about the unindicted co-conspirator we have now.

If Joe Biden is the victor, he will reach out of that there is little doubt. He isn't a "no, we can't," either; he is simply more incremental than some of the others.

That said and even though I have respected and liked Joe Biden for years, this thing is not over yet.

to defeat Trump and take back the senate.

And did they ever say he was born in Kenya?

Most who don't vote watch like, MTV and such.

We definitely need to save the Republic from a Republican led revolution that intends to transform our nation into a dictatorship.

If you are upset about your candidate not getting the nomination, that's okay.
Four years ago I was upset that Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton.
But that didn't stop me from voting for her in the general election.
You can't always get what you want.
You have to rise above that stuff and help fix what the Republicans have broken, and are determined to smash beyond repair.

First priority is to defeat Trump and get a majority of the Senate.
If you folks want change, your only chance of having that happen depends on it.

Although the room was rented by the hour.

It's like the Great Depression. It took a generation to get over it. Same for WWII.

the giant tax cut for billionaire parasites. We should never forgive him for this, and to my mind it is criminal negligence.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO DIES as a result of coronavirus is a potential criminal negligence charge.

We need, more than ANYTHING else, to get this oaf out of office.

throw his ass in prison forever, seize his assets, and distribute them to the surviving members of the grieving families.

To hell with his kids. Make them learn a trade other than greasing or bleaching their hair.

Not voting democratic is the equivalent of condoning criminality this election.

We do not have the luxury to be “pure”. This literally will be an election between the good guy and the bad guy.

Well said.

The GREAT thing about this election cycle is we had EIGHTEEN candidates....ALL with good ideas! Anyone of them would be a life saver from this decomposition of our government and our American way of life.

Sad we didn't get a woman, an Asian, Hispanic or person of color to be the finalist. But WE THE PEOPLE made that decision! Both of our finalists are older than me, but both would be great...and a bazillion times better than this draft dodging coward, traitor, con artist grifter that we are threatened with for another four years of this escalating nightmare!

The VP could, and probably should be, a woman, minority or both. They can take the reins in 2024...as it is going to take a generation to fix the shit this deplorable loser dumped on our nation and the world. She is coming!!

And the administration will be filled with COMPETENT and people of all genders and ethnicities. This nightmare must end!! I have watched my country slowly sink into something I am embarrassed and ashamed of. The last three + years have been a free fall and a threat to our democracy, AND the welfare and safety of the world.

Have hope and VOTE!! It's the ONLY solution to our future.

& I'm 70!! Voting for any other candidate, other then the democratic nominee, is a vote for comrade donnie!!!

We all know, or should know, that there is no perfect candidate.

but you do have the privilege to vote for the Democratic candidate who can stop the madness that is no less than the destruction of the United States.
