2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: The legacy of "The Left" [View all]Orsino
(37,428 posts)37. I think it's silly to worry about them.
After the shitshow of the RNC and the ongoing failheap that is the Trump campaign, some booing and chanting that have steadily grown weaker in Philly don't concern me. Not a bit. A month from now, they won't be remembered--and some of them will even have tacitly joined us. There are plenty of candidates running at all levels who heed broad support.
Let's worry less about punishing dissent and more about G'ing-O-T-fucking-V.
