Headline at hussypost is "democrats cave". This concerns the platform, and adding god

[still_one]

Back into it, along with a line saying Jerusalem should be the capital of Israel

My point is not whether these issues should or should not be in the platform,personally I believe they shouldn't, but how our wonderful friends in the corporate media will use this bullshot to try and divide us

Unless the Democrats win, it will really be over. there are elements, especially wall street, and certain corporate interests who wancoco plate control. Don't be distracted

After we win we can cross the t's and dot the i's

Putting god in a sentence in a platform doesn't change the Constitution

Saying a capital is part of a country doesn't make it so, and in fact goes against the agreements that have been recognized.

In other words they are both irrelevant

Do not let the republican run media divide you

Deal with it after the election

It is the same stuff of having Dolan give a benediction, don't let it divide the party, that is what the repukes and the media want

We will deal with it after we win

3. I hope you are not being sarcastic, but regardless, it is definitely trying to bait us. It was also

Argued that we caved on healthcare reform, and there are arguments on booths sides. One that a public option or Medicare for all should have been done, and the other that it could not have gotten through the blue dogs if we had a public option.

However, we are 2 months from the most important election in most of our life times, and this rhetoric has only one intent, to divide us

12. I do. That is why god created lobbyists

19. Agreed, that in itself is not a big deal. The way the vote was conducted was though from what

I understand

[DontTreadOnMe]

4. Bullshit.. they caved

They (OBAMA!) pandered to the Right. I am a Progressive and feel betrayed by this move.

"Grow a backbone" was only for Tuesday. Wednesday seems to be "Lean to the Right Day".

Piss off your base to appease.. who?

10. Was Obama even there? Second, the people who voted didn't cave, the people heading the proceeding

Pushed it on them. They voted for it three times. They should have done a written vote, or tabulation, not a group voice vote.

2. I am less concerned with the language, but PO'd by the totally UNDEMOCRATIC BS way they

put it back in. No reasonable person could say that they actually got a 2/3 vote to change it. They did it anyway, F the rules, F what the delegates think, F democracy at the DNC, we know best.

BULL F'ing SHIT!

[still_one]

6. and I agree with that, which actually contradicts the headline, but I am not sure who is in

There trying to create this bs, but I am very cynical when crap like this comes up in the 11th hour

8. I don't understand the in's and out's of how the

platform committee works.
It is my understanding that the platform had already been passed.
It was total BS how the platform was amended.
A voice vote to get 2/3's. What were they using, a decibel meter.
If the powers that be want something changed, they just change it. To hell with the delegates.

5. Who the fuck *else* are the gays and the atheists gonna vote for, eh?

[still_one]

7. They won't vote, and we need them to vote. Not a very judicious way to word it, but it sure brings

Up the point, however, at the same time insults certain groups, so they won't vote

Human nature doesn't always do thing that is in their ow best interest

[hay rick]

14. And teachers, and union members.

Yes, the Republicans are worse. That's one hell of a campaign pitch. The platform debacle was a breathtaking demonstration of lack of character.

[budkin]

11. They did cave, to the GOP

Who gives a shit about God and Jerusalem as part of the party platform? Now they look like buffoons. Good thing Clinton's speech will wipe it all way by tonight.

[still_one]

15. I hope so, and since the attention span of the public is 5 minutes you might be right

[WinkyDink]

16. Excuse me. WHAT?

"Saying a capital is part of a country doesn't make it so, and in fact goes against the agreements that have been recognized."

What "agreements" contradict the statement that Jerusalem is the UNDIVIDED capital of Israel, let alone "part of a country"?!?!?!?!

Wow. you think Jerusalem might not even be a PART of Israel??

[still_one]

18. You are correct. /nt
