Progressives could solve their electoral problem by distributing themselves more evenly among the 50 states.

The word is Liberal.....

The word is Liberal.....

No.

If I wanted to use the word liberal, I would have done so. This is a personal choice in terminology that I made some years back, and have stuck with ever since. I'm not going to debate my word choice with you here. I just want to make it absolutely clear that it's an intentional choice, and that your "correction" is unnecessary and unwanted. If you want to debate the term, start a thread or send me a PM. In this discussion, "progressive" is what I said, and it's what I meant.

right You meant Liberal, and you use all those other lame PC terms as well, showing that you are and meant to be.... a liberal. You're welcome.

Nope.... the Hillary campaign screwed the Bernie Campaign and put herself in as the nominee for the Dems, it was all her and all on her. That is straight up classic denial. Her baggage bagged her campaign, not bernie.

It's amazing to get so much wrong in so short a post.

Hillary didn't screw Bernie in any way. The DNC prefered her as a candidate, sure. But the real issue is that Sanders didn't get enough votes to overturn that preference. Any other claim is Sanders-biased conspiracy theory.

As for your last comment, it's true that Hillary's campaign was weak and unenthousiastic, but Bernie did much to damage it: first, by playging into Republican talking points about her, and second, Sanders refusing to give up his candidacy well after the point where his loss was obvious.

So in yet another case of projection, the denial is yours.

 

[Belz...]

Another flaw of the two party system, you assume because I dislike Hillary I must be a Trump guy, you would be wrong

I don't know. You keep refering to Trump as Trump and Clinton as "hag", despite you claiming that she would've been better than he is.

the same FBI that manufactures Terror plots to foil them and then pat themselves on the back.

You really need to stop visiting conspiracy theory sites.

Idem.

If you really believe that she put a server in the restroom, then you'll believe any stupid story.

Wrong.

Literally every clause in your post is wrong.

The two words are not interchangeable any more than Conservative and Alt-Right are.

Yes they are, Liberal is the one that got dirty so it was repackage into a less honest version, but it remains, liberal.

By which you mean Sanders had a campaign that pushed for change, and many wanted that change and Hag was in the way. The DNC is in it's own way. But hey so are the Republicans.

 

[Belz...]

Yes they are

They have absolutely nothing to do with one another. You simply don't know what those words mean.

You are clearly entirely in the right-wing bubble, and can't see the world outside of it. If you were a better person you'd ask in what way you're wrong.

On the odd chance that you're not completely lost to reason, look up progressivism and liberalism. You might want to look up conservatism as well, just to be on the safe side.

This tendency of yours to put words into other people's mouths is childish and unproductive. I suggest you select a different course of action.

Minimally better.

If you really believe that she put a server in the restroom, then you'll believe any stupid story.

You are the sad devotee to the Clinton machine, she had no business having her toilet server and she screwed Bernie. Repetition of your nonsense doesnt make you right it makes you repetitive, Toilet Server Denier.

How sad the Clinton haze has you so blinded, but Liberal is liberal and you are wrong.

I'm reminded of how when people get hardcore into their tribal bubbles that their preferred term for "The other" just becomes an all purpose, universally applied insult devoid of any context.

I've seem Feminists become so self-feeding that they used the term "Patriarchy" in a way that is functionally distinguishable from "Literally anything negative that occurs in a society." It's the way Fundamentalist describe every ill in the world as "Godless."

There's people here for whom "Liberalism" is what makes it hurt when they stub their toe and makes the crops die in a bad growing season.

Welcome to the forum, rockysmith76! It looks like we haven't been properly introduced yet. I apologize for the oversight. Stick around a bit. I think you'll soon discover that accusing me of cleaning up dirty terms for progressives will just embarrass you. Give it a month, you'll be looking back at this post and thinking, "that didn't age well!"

But actually he's just flabbergasted at how completely out of touch you are on this subject. You really need to spend a little time familiarizing yourself with my body of work, before you go off on these Quixotic adventures.
