(613 posts)I do have to say though, the way it is written, it sounds like you've presumed Clinton will be the nominee. It is not a done deal.
Why no mention of Sanders bashing?
I've read an awful lot of subtle and artful smear against Sanders on these pages. Heck, even this post seems to be slanted against him by error of omission.
I also wonder, if things go off the rails, and Sanders feels it is in the best interests of Americans to run as a third party candidate, then will you automatically denote him a "lost-cause, third-party spoiler candidate", even if a large chunk of the Democratic Party voters go with him?
I'm asking these things because, to me, what is really important, is that America elects the most suitable, best qualified, visionary, people-supported person to the Presidency and the Congress. Party is secondary to what is good for the whole of the country. Is it the same with Democrats? Do they place the good of the whole over and above the success of the Party?
I'm sorry, I really like this page, and enjoy a lot of the discussion, but I've been very badly treated here by Clinton supporters, and the more I've looked into it, the more it has become clear to me that I cannot in good conscience support Clinton, regardless who she is running for.
I want what is best for America, and neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton are it.
If the Democratic Party, and its support groups, are not putting America first, then they no more deserve to hold power than do the corrupt, fascist, anti-democratic gang who currently are running the GOP.
