Democratic Primaries

it is, your obvious quip cannot erase the values that Bernie stands for and the extent to which they resonate with so many. As much as you'd like to ignore his impact on the Democratic party and its shift to the left you can't. It's there forever. A bell has been rung that cannot be un rung and no one really gives a shit if you give him credit for it or not, especially not Bernie.

Though I am voting enthusiastically for Joe, his failure to do the hard work from the beginning of his campaign (i.e. raising funds, campaigning and opening offices all over etc.) is something I find troubling and hard to just sweep under the rug like you do. So go ahead, cover your ears. scream louder and wish it didn't happen but it totally happened. And it reveals a real flaw on Joe's part -- a callousness and a sense of entitlement that ought to trouble you. He rolled the dice with the future of our country at a perilous juncture when so much is at stake. It was very fucked up and definitely is not very Obama like. And whatever was at the root of it is still there and will likely resurface in some other, possibly unanticipated way. Trump might be a morally flawed person but he is in no way a flawed candidate. He is one very effective motherfucker in this regard. And I hope to God Joe is up to the task of shutting him down, because right now, he is all we got.
