22. We already know that, so why do you bring it up? A weak "cryptic" message I suppose.

Without those who are willing to announce the problems with the Dem party DU will end up with a HIGHER % of people who only whine, point fingers of blame and want other people "banned".. Now, who does THAT sound like? POTUS 45, perhaps? It sure does to me and I'm disgusted by the thought of it.

I voted for Bernie in the primary as a 'voice for progress' vote, but voted for HRC in the GE and figured she'd win.. everyone did.. no contest.. landslide.. 1st woman POTUS.. progress... NOPE. Oh right, it was all W R Pitt's fault.. and Bernie's.. and Jill's... WRONG. More likely a problem of HRC being too easy of a target by the crooked, lying, cheating GOP along with the revealed shenanigans of DWS and Brazille.

I cringed when DWS was being interviewed on shows.. She could neither defend herself or our party by being quick on her feet, she was failing to convert voters to the Dem way of thinking, she could only lifelessly read off the series of Dem talking points. I kept thinking 'Jesus f'ing holy cr*p of Gawd' (not those words exactly) who HIRED her for this job? Let's get the right DNC Chair for 2018.

"one of the most informed, political observers" BULLSHIT. Anyone who calls President Obama a POS, still_one Jul 2017 #26

In your opinion... right? vkkv Jul 2017 #27

That he called President Obama a "POS",that was a fact. Not voting for Hillary in the GE is a fact. still_one Jul 2017 #30

Again, that doesn't prove that he is not an "informed, political observer" vkkv Jul 2017 #32

His vote against Hillary, though, does prove that he is not an informed political observer. Squinch Jul 2017 #34

The sad reality is that HRC LOST to Trump! vkkv Jul 2017 #39

Your response has nothing to do with the fact that Pitt didn't vote for the Democratic candidate Squinch Jul 2017 #45

Yes. All those things. Plus the assholes who say they are on the left and who Squinch Jul 2017 #73

Nope, sorry but Will's vote in deep blue NH was not an issue Arazi Jul 2017 #74

How about his purple prose exhortations to others not to vote for her? You think those helped? Squinch Jul 2017 #75

Will could only dream of having Sarandon's reach Arazi Jul 2017 #82

So you actually believe his writings didn't influence others to not vote for Clinton? brush Jul 2017 #81

Nope. Not at all Arazi Jul 2017 #83

So your answer, basically, is that he WOULD have been a force to elect Trump, just Squinch Jul 2017 #85
