Articles and blog posts keep up the idea that the Republican party is in disarray. The Democratic party is a broken piece of porcelain glued together with missing and mismatched pieces. The very basis of the party is identity politics. What happens when all of those separate and mutually exclusive identities get together to find a unified platform? Fist fights. Chaos.
Some conservatives will stay home if their chosen candidate doesn’t make the nomination. (I think this inability to look at the larger picture gave us eight damaging years under Obama.) But not one will throw a punch at somebody they disagree with.
The people making up the parties could not be more different. For a visual aid look at the photos of the places where rallies were held. You would need to work hard to find trash after a Republican rally. But after a Democrat speaks the ground looks like a trash dump.
You THINK it gave us 8 yrs of Obama...You THINK???
Good Lord, man what does it take to convince you the total F'n brain dead butt wipes who sat out the last election because the Republican candidate failed to check off ALL their precious Conservative points, are the very epitome of clueless, self aggrandizing jerks.
I can see them standing around as the country falls to pieces around us and all which made her great about to disappear and thinking, "Yes, yes it sure is awful what this president has done but at least I still have my principles and proved it by being willing to sacrifice the entire nation and all her citizens in the name of MY self righteous belief".
Poster children for the stupid, each and every one of them.
Wanna bet?
Police called after Washoe GOP meeting erupts into chaos Tuesday
I love living in Nevada!
After the 2000 convention (wisely held outside of Philadelphia, accessible only by one otherwise closed interstate exit and one local train stop) a local talk show host who attended both conventions said that he was most impressed by two major differences. One was that there was no trash on the floor of the Republican convention while the Dems had trash all over the place. Same, by the way after inaugurations.
the other was that Republicans would make an appointment and keep it, while Dems would say, who are you. If they did make an appt for an interview they often didn't bother to show up.
Even if Sanders loses the nomination contest, which at this point appears likely, he represents an egalitarian, democratic vision that is highly skeptical of corporate power and the neoliberalism that Clinton represents. This agenda has resonated, fueling a surprisingly strong campaign that has energized many, especially younger voters, and those supporters expect that their message will be carried all the way to the convention. For Sanders, stopping the fight at this point would be senseless.
