I'm taking a brief vacation from DU
As of this writing, there are five threads on the DU home page - yes FIVE - once again refighting the primary. Both Hillary and Bernie did any number of things wrong and both did any number of things right. However, that's all in the PAST! Does everyone really want to keep on re-fighting ancient history and bashing Hillary/bashing Bernie when:

1) Trump is doing his best to get us into a war with N Korea and alienating as many of our allies as he possibly can?

2) 800,000 dreamers have been betrayed by Trump ending DACA?

3) The strongest Hurricane in a century has just decimated Houston, and another may well be headed toward Florida?

4) Climate change is ramping up all over the earth and we are quickly losing the window to prevent the more drastic impacts of global warming (see above)?

5) The repugs are back in session and hoping to push thru tax cuts for the uber wealthy at the expense of affordable housing thru HUD, food stamps, meals on wheels for the elderly, medicare/medicaid, programs to help Americans with disabilities, the EPA, NOAA, the NIH, the infrastructure, and many, many more.

6) Women across the country are losing control of their own reproductive rights.

7) The so-called president is doing his best to encourage white supremacists and attacks on minorities of every single possible kind.

8) The education of our young people is under attack - public schools are underfunded and being replaced by elitist charter schools that often only a few can afford. Tuition at public universities just keeps going through the roof and young college graduates are facing an ever accumulating mountain of debt.

9) THE MIDTERMS ARE APPROACHING!

I left out all sorts of other stuff, but I know the folks here can easily fill in all the rest of the blanks.

Frankly, my dear I don't give a damn about what Bernie said or what Hillary said. I refuse to expend any further energy on that particular dead end.

I'm hoping that if I take a couple of days off, we will back on message again. This divisive infighting is extremely discouraging, to say the least.

3. The Hillary/Bernie thing will pass

These things run their course for abt 3 days.

New shiny object appears

There should be another 3 day-er in a few weeks when her book comes out

It'll also pass

You got that right.

Does everyone really want to keep on re-fighting ancient history and bashing Hillary/bashing Bernie when:

1) Trump is doing his best to get us into a war with N Korea and alienating as many of our allies as he possibly can?Who is touting he has nukes and is launching missile tests?  Which administration coddled fatboy and thought talk would solve the problem.  Not Trump

2) 800,000 dreamers have been betrayed by Trump ending DACA? obama betrayed them when he did an unconstitutional act of using an EO instead of having congress write a law.  But it made him and the dreamers feel good at the time so it's all good.  Trump is merely cleaning up the shit obama left on the floor and is portrayed as the villian

3) The strongest Hurricane in a century has just decimated Houston, and another may well be headed toward Florida? and that's Trump's fault how?

4) Climate change is ramping up all over the earth and we are quickly losing the window to prevent the more drastic impacts of global warming (see above)? When you alarmists provide true data (not phony doctored data)that global warming exists we will sit down and listen.

5) The repugs are back in session and hoping to push thru tax cuts for the uber wealthy at the expense of affordable housing thru HUD, food stamps, meals on wheels for the elderly, medicare/medicaid, programs to help Americans with disabilities, the EPA, NOAA, the NIH, the infrastructure, and many, many more. So we're back to giving tax cuts to the rich and pushing grandma off the cliff after we starve her.  Can't you get more original?

6) Women across the country are losing control of their own reproductive rights. cite one instance where this is true?  I'll wait

7) The so-called president is doing his best to encourage white supremacists and attacks on minorities of every single possible kind. Again, cite one instance where this is true?  I'll wait

8) The education of our young people is under attack - public schools are underfunded and being replaced by elitist charter schools that often only a few can afford. Tuition at public universities just keeps going through the roof and young college graduates are facing an ever accumulating mountain of debt. Public schools are maxed out with illegal alien children who don't speak English and are taxing the system.  Inner city youtes would rather ditch school and hang out with gangs than get an education.  How is that Trump's fault?

9) THE MIDTERMS ARE APPROACHING! Prepare for more losing and butthurt

I left out all sorts of other stuff, but I know the folks here can easily fill in all the rest of the blanks.

Frankly, my dear I don't give a damn about what Bernie said or what Hillary said. I refuse to expend any further energy on that particular dead end.

Well, my dear, you'd better start giving a damn what they said and did real quick.
But what am I saying... you pitiful ingrates will NEVER own it.
Now excuse me, my uneducated, deplorable, rural white ass has better things to read

Great job DLR.  Saved me doing it.  Especially like your answers to 6 and 7.  There's absolutely no evidence on either of these.   Bonus points for using "Youtes" in # 8
