3. Maybe the the most reflexively vapid anti-Sanders post I've seen so far on this site.

First post though, I guess that counts for something.

The Republicans have killed us Democrats too many times.

That said, we should be proud of what we have accomplished. I doesn't matter in the end how we get there, only in the results.

to grow a spine and ask for a very minor piece of gun control legislation? One that wouldn't have stopped Orlando, Sandy Hook, Mother Emmanuel? One that still allows the purchase of an AR-15 in 7 minutes? Glad to see the Establishment has finally gotten off their butts in their very small way. Let's see if they do something next or just congratulate themselves on how "progressive" they are.

The fight is over and the establishment has won, this time. Let's see what happens. We do have a long track record of their not doing much of anything because they don't want to anger their corporate donors. I'm sure the private prison industry, which contributes money to a certain candidate, will weigh in at some point.

11. Has Hillary managed to denounce the many NC Democrats who voted for the 'bathroom bill' while

also endorsing Hillary? That's the Establishment right there. They get it both ways. Cake and eat it too. They get to be bigoted, actively and legislatively, while also being lauded on DU for being 'Establishment'.

The Establishment was the thing preventing LGBT equality. It is still attempting to foster hate and discrimination against us, even in the face of Orlando those bigots in NC will not back down.

So let me know when Hillary gets around to condemning the actions of her bigoted endorsers in NC. They stand with her, you stand with her, you stand with them, proudly. You endorse that Establishment fully and totally and without reservation. Noted.

ourselves until St Ronnie showed us the way help or hinder the goal of a nonviolent and accepting society? If you believe that sort of thing helps, please explain why. If you agree with me that it hinders progress and understanding please explain why you are not vocally objecting to that tactic. Thanks in advance for your detailed answer to this very serious set of questions.
