Skinner, it's time to close down the Postmortem Forum [View all]

It has served its purpose (at least one would hope so), but like one of those strange fashion fads that has grown too long in the tooth, it is long past its prime and needs to be put out of its misery.

Oh, I readily admit that I did my share of re-fighting the primaries, but now the same old arguments about why Hilary should have won, how Bernie might or might not have done better, or whether it would be better or worse to nominate a more progressive in 2020 have been argued and then argued again in slightly different words hundreds of times and we are no closer to consensus than we were when we started. One can only hope that we that least gotten it out of systems.

If we haven't figured out by now that fighting like crazed animals during the primaries is destructive to our cause, we never will. If we haven't figured out by now that we have to support without reservation and with total dedication whoever is selected as our nominee, if we can't united solidly in 2020 against a common enemy, there is not hope for us or our progressive cause.

So please shut this forum down Skinner, we have clawed each other enough for at least another 4 year.
