Maine Gov. Paul LePage: you shoot "the enemy" in war, and people of color are "the enemy" right now

No, my problem were the choices were shitty.

Okay. I guess you need to start doing the recruiting then. Bill Bradley was well liked in 2000 and ran to Gore's left. He got his ass kicked because...people liked Gore. But you know better than they do. So I guess they were all shitty. Or maybe you're just saying stuff. Who knows.

Bush was the sitting president during 9/11 and he was facing a war hero while he avoided fighting in a war.

Yikes. You think 9/11 was a disadvantage for Bush? Were you even over the age of 5 at the time?

Dirty campaigning like Clinton propping up John Lewis to claim that Sanders lied about his work during the civil rights movement (but then later claim that wasn't what he meant)?

Aw. Love the language here. Asserting that a civil rights hero doesn't have the autonomy to make his own statements and is just ordered around by the white people in the party. You know, I've never been able to figure out why you guys sucked at outreach to black voters? Why won't they just listen to you?

And yeah, that's not even on the same plane of existence. Again, how old were you in 2004? They ran constant ads calling John Kerry a liar about his service. He won multiple purple hearts and they called him a liar and, in effect, a pussy. The media didn't call them out for it. Bush didn't call them out for it. John Lewis answering one question badly and then trying to walk it back is about as pointless a comparison as you can make. But it is pretty fitting for you guys. Every slight is the most evil thing in the world. Literally not one negative ad was run in this primary, but her campaign was shameful and she's as bad as Bush swiftboating a damn war hero. Okay.

Change the argument? You brought up 2008 not me. I never claimed that the DNC violates its by-laws every single election.

"If we've learned anything from this primary is the organization pretty much ensures the candidate they want gets voted in"

You said this in the context of explaining why voters' don't have real choices. So yeah, it sounds like you were saying that they always force voters to pick their preference. And yes, the party preferred Hillary until Obama beat her in an election. Shocking how actually winning an election changes peoples' minds. You guys should try it sometime.

History either way. Unless you can produce leaked evidence of collusion that caused the head of the DNC to be replaced in 2008 like it did a few months ago.
