It's time to "call it"
It could have been a hard fought contest of ideals, ideas and vision. Instead it became a shrieking demands of obedience in exchange for the presumed safety of the gilded cage of The Establishment -- except we get the cage and The Establishment gets the gild.
It could have been a debate about how to achieve the goals we once shared. Instead it became a timid retreat into every fable for failure put forward by the obstructionist opposition.
It could have been a rejection of unjust war, corporatism and lawless government. Instead we have been treated to hurricane force winds from all the hand-waving because not voting for blue corruption is supposedly a love of red corruption.
It could have been civil. Instead, every effort was made to brand those who have stood for decades fighting for civil rights and rallying around our beleaguered president for nigh-on 8 years into racist and sexists.
It couldn't even wait for the natural tides of a common foe to bring the unity that was supposedly being demanded. No, instead it became a cry to begin a countdown clock to blind, uncritical obedience; of party over principle; compliance over commonality.
Progressivism? Liberalism?
Yeah. Right.
It's time to call it.

1. Skinner says:
At this time it appears that we still have two candidates who are still in the race, and are still participating in elections in a number of states. Therefore it is still primary election season on DU.
At this point, the plan is for primary season to continue on DU until a candidate drops out or the voting is over -- whichever happens first.

54. Don't you love the FREELOADERS without a star next to their Username who complain/instruct the site?
.
Websites aren't free, and the guys who abuse the services the most, contribute the least financially!
It's like a party crasher who mooches off the food and entertainment and then complains about the host and guests!
They are nothing but disruptive and then in the end, one finds that they've also defiled the bathroom before leaving.
There are a shitload of complainers, about this site and its paying guests, on just this one OP alone.

5. It could have been civil...
instead, every effort was made to brand those who want to continue the slow yet real progress this country has made into corporate whores and false progressives who are actually Republicans.
It is time to call it. 'Progressivism' has a massive smugness problem.

14. If someone doesn't like being accused of doling out favors in exchange for payments there is a
good way to handle the situation --
PROVE THEM WRONG
Either show how there was no quid pro quo and/or stop engaging in the sorts of behaviors that lead to such allegations.
Many more responses at the link. Have fun..

And don't you forget it, BernieScum. The DNC bought and paid for DU, and Hillary continues to make sure that Skinner stays bought and paid for. :lol:

I never would have believed that BOTH parties could be consumed by class envy.

Chewing on lead paint chips for decades levels of stupid.
