President Obama: Please Endorse Hillary Already
Mr. President, do you want your legacy to be nominating the next George McGovern? The only reason Bernie looks good in polls against Trump is because people who don't follow politics (yet still vote) don't know who he is. Once they did, his self-declared socialism would elect The Donald, either directly, or send Bloomberg into the race if Bernie is the nominee, or drive Hillary too far to the left to get elected. He is dividing our party and sowing needless dissent.
Now is when Hillary should be pivoting for the GE and starting to fight Trump. Now is the time to do what you should've done with OWS and some of the campus protesters, to have a Sister Souljah moment, and call out the crazies on our side, as not only does the GOP have them (mass-deporters, ammosexuals, etc.). Unlike Bernie, Hillary embraced your legacy. Bernie and his fans think you're not liberal enough. PLEASE Mr. President, for the good of America and the Party, endorse Hillary now.

strategery blunder (4,225 posts)
21. Not to mention, McGovern ran (and his VP was sabotaged) BEFORE Watergate broke.
|
The Democratic Party needs to confront its unresolved, 44-year-long phobia of McGovern if it is to have ANY credibility when addressing the set of problems now faced by this nation (especially on the economic front).
We now have an economy in which any any and all economic recovery accrues to the wealthy, who in turn can use such wealth to buy politicians on the open market and make "investments" in Congress to make themselves even wealthier. One such politician, however, is NOT FOR SALE, wants to break that cycle, and has consistently advocated policies that could have prevented and/or ameliorated the problems that the nation now must address. 
Alternatively, we can continue to quiver in fear of McGovern's shadow, and lose states like Michigan that have been particularly ravaged by these economic problems, where Rs have run riot on the state level the last few years, when during the general we hear "She negotiated the TPP before she was against it," "She took millions of dollars from the very same banks she says she told to 'cut it out,' " and so on, ad naseum. |
