(45 posts)... that as we all acknowledged at one point or another -- both the supporters of Bernie and Hilary -- there are issues with the primary system. And if we begin to look at reform in earnest we may all regret some of these changes as the debate on how power will in the future be divided will be as much, if not more contentious, than this election. At this point we were just having a go at each other over two candidates who could have or may become President. When the hypothetical is extend out and leaders for the next 30 years are at stake ... let's say, I think the line between constructive and criticism will get blurry to say the least. I am not pointing fingers but it is going to get "Hot up in this joint." And not in a sexy music video way.
My worry I guess is best summed up this way. For years our friends in the GOP insulated themselves from criticism and now Birchers run the party and look at their freakin' candidate.
I know "constructive criticism" -- again, easily blurred line looking up or down the ladder, across the aisle, or just at the seat next to you.
Everyone loves your honesty until you say something to them.
