In reply to the discussion: I would like to ask all the people who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton [View all]RandomNumbers
(19,072 posts)Folks here should take note. Spar in the primaries REASONABLY. Assume that any of the top 2 or 3 primary contenders WILL be the nominee - and it may not be the one you prefer.
The crap stirred up in primaries will come back to bite in the general. I know too many people IRL who had knives out for Hillary even after the primary, then grudgingly agreed to vote for her once it became clear TO THEM that she was indeed the nominee and that would not change. But it was too late to take away damage they had done in their circles of contacts who didn't understand the stakes well enough. Shorter version - they suppressed D votes in the general by their earlier success at convincing people they should "never" vote for Hillary no matter what.
Keep criticism to policies and why you prefer your preferred candidate. No amplifying CT or irrelevant bullshit against the others.
Whoever the R's put up in 2028 - it won't be TSF, and I'm not seeing it be Vance - there is no planet on which the D candidate will be worse. (unless we truly get rolled by AI gimmicks and some fascist plant somehow wins - not beyond imagination for that to happen, but extremely unlikely)
