(3,473 posts)... If I don't get my way, I'm taking my ball and going home temper tantrums.
We had a faction (PUMAs) that said that's how they would act back in 2008 ... it never materialized.
My guess is that then and now, it's mostly just Republican ratf--king. Anyone that truly is that stupid, I'd just tell them fine, go away and go crawl back under your rock, we don't need you. If they're too blind to see the selfishness of what they're doing, they're not worth it anyways.
This election is about the Supreme Court as much as anything else is. And if another Republican is elected President, the court could continue to swing to the right for another generation. If you like seeing woman's health clinics disappearing like they are in Texas; For Profit Companies telling you they have religious objections to woman's health, gays and who knows what next; more money in politics; less power for workers; more power for corporations; more pollution; etc. ... then go ahead vote for tRump or write in Bernie's name. But when things continue to get worse here in the United States because of YOUR actions ... don't come crying to me about why things are as bad as they are ... because you've been part of the problem not part of the solution.
