I’m just happy there is nearly sitewide Agreement about Debbie, Hillary’s supporters should be just as Pissed because the reality is the Appearance of not being impartial has given Hillary even more Baggage to deal with, I’ve been one of the more outspoken opponents of Hillary on this site but the reality is that I started off Early defending her and have recently had to point out to some of the “FUCK THAT IF BERNIE DOESN’T WIN I’M VOTING TRUMP.” Crowd that Hillary is a Change candidate as well she’s just more of the Same Ole Gradualism we’re growing tired of.
I’m definately sympathetic towards more Revolutionary/accelerationist tactics but There’s no way in Hell I’m voting For Trump, Besides one thing that Irritates me is when Democrats Defect because our Candidate isn’t “liberal enough” by Voting republican. What the Fuck is wrong with you? At least have the Tactical Sense to send the Party a Message and vote Green.
I mean you’re going to LOSE that way but at least there’s NO way that message will be misinterepted.
and to make things clear I’m not actually advocating for Stein today, I’m calling out the “BERNIE OR TRUMP! idiots I’ve seen out there for having an idiotic tactic. IF you want the establishment leadership to hear you you have to give them a message they can’t misconstrue.
Because believe me the Last thing we want is for Trump to win and then Hear the missives the morning after that It's because Hillary was too liberal instead of too conservative which would be the reality of that situation.
So that crowd in particular Annoys me.
All of this Stated my Focus over the Next few months would be inappropiate to place on the Presidential election at all.
You see, the WOLF-PAC just had a Promise Broken to us Koscadia, by Tina Kotek to NOT put a legislative hold on HJM201 our bill to use the Article V process to overturn Citizens united, she had said she wasn’t going to Obstruct our bill this year but Let it die in Comittee IN SPITE of what she said so she lied to us.
For that my understanding is that the Crew is organizing a Primary challenger and already has a Name. My Primary focus should be On Making phone calls and Donating to this Candidate.
In other words this Electoral Cycle is about Local politics to me at this point 20000000 times more than the National stage so I really don’t have the energy nor the tim to Spar with the Site over Hillary.
So GOOD, We agree that the Caucus’s are a Disaster Debbie has to go and other things.
Tonight However I did leave a message for Howard Dean that I wanted to share with you Via Facebook:
I saw your commentary on MSNBC the other day and how the Democratic party had to go through a reorganization because the Party was too liberal for the american electorate and I just thought that I should share my thoughts with you as a member of the millennial generation. My generation is without precedent or a single shred of doubt the furthest left wing generation to ever grace the surface of this planet, terra. What irritates me is that the Democratic party was not mistaken back when it nominated candidates too liberal for the electorate 3 times in a row. It’s mistake was being ahead of it’s time and too early. If it were to make the Same decisions in 2016 Those Firebranding “too liberal” candidates would have gotten elected off the backs of my generation and i’m tired of the Party blaming millennials and spitting on us for not turning out, it’s tendency has been to pin the blame on us but you’ve got it backwards.It has given us too many conservative reagan loving democrats who still think in terms of the Cold War Red baiting and the reagan realignmen and make no mistake Howard, As as.millennial* I want nothing short of completely undoing the Reagan revolution and realignment.
further:
if it makes it simpler for you to understand though An Atheist Socialist Jew sounds like my IDEAL Presidential candidate.
My generation is disporportionately less religious less bigoted in EVERY sense of the word bigot more inclusive more socially left leaning, more ECONOMICALLY left leaning and the younger block of them are even MORE atheistiic.

So the partys elders can continue to Piss and moan and stamp their feet an complain about Utopianism and Purity test via people threatening to stay home or staying home when the party gives us insufficiently left wing candidates but It wont do them any good because instead of listening they’re choosing to be sour and bitter.
And I’m Not threatening to stay home myself! I WILL BE THERE. But I CANNOT CONTROL My generation, You HAVE to understand that much, I’m just ONE voice among many.
One Final thing however:
Finally.
and about 2014: prospect.org/...
Even in MIDTERMS they Turned out for the Progresssives. And notice “Progresssive” is an Ideology. Democrat is a Political party. There’s a difference.
the party was too liberal for THAT electorate back in the 1970s and 1980s. They aren’t too liberal for the 2016 Electorate.
That was them, This is us. Please get it right in the future.
Almost ALL of us have voted for Bernie.
With that I think it’s really starting to be time to focus on removing the Obstruction to amending the constitution to Deal with citizens united.
Because really campaign finance reform as an issue is so important that All other issues combined don’t hold a candle to the wind compared to how important it is.
That’s right, Every other issue combined raised to the power of about quadrillion doesn’t add up to a trillionth as important.
Because Campaign Finance Reform has become the defining issue of our times.
So I don’t have time to Spar with Kos, especially since Fighting with you usually bums me out and I am Self aware enough to realize that when I GET Depressed I get demotivated.
So I’m going to do what I can to keep the peace.
To be honest with you though I found myself In a protracted debate with Mon A’mour My love in Chicago leading the Charge against Two boys who were Saying they were going to Vote For Trump over Hillary because at least he’d create change even if it would ultimately fail and it would alienate enough people to Trigger the sleeping Dragon on the Far left.
They keep saying Hillary Clinton was the Status Quo.
Here’s the thing though: She’s not.
I found myself Defending her bizaarrely last night in spite of ALL of my anger at her supporters.
“On my first day as President, I'll set two big goals. I want the U.S. to have half a billion solar panels by 2020. And I want us to generate enough renewable electricity to power every home in America in the next 10 years. With the right investments, we’ll create good-paying jobs and make America the world’s clean energy superpower.
Hillary clinton.
I agree with that goal, that should go without saying after my Last couple of Post GLEEFULLY celebrating the solar tax credit extension, gleefully celebrating Oregon Kicking coal out of our states, etc.

So I’m -already- in the Process of Searching for Things I LIKE about her.
thinkprogress.org/…
I just hope that she keeps her Promises on this.
Hillary clinton is not the status quo.
She’s just a Gradualist.
