    If only they’d put this much effort into getting one person to change her mind on the issue, instead of trying to get 10 million people to change their morals.

    It appears especially ghoulish now after it came out that even her campaign’s polling showed that it was a losing position.

      Morals are morals, but they shouldn’t be completely uncompromising

      In this case we had the status quo on one side and on the other, someone who was itching to throw the dial to 11 across the board.

      At this point, any blood spilled as on their hands just as much as the DNC.

        What status quo was there when Dems allow the rollback of everything even when they’re in power without even the suggestion of a fight? Unless you mean the status quo of everything continually getting worse under either party’s admin.

          the status quo of everything continually getting worse under either party’s admin.

          I always vomit a little in my mouth when I see comments like this.

          Completely unaware of things like Dems providing cheap healthcare to vulnerable people (Obamacare) and lowering the cost of prescription medicine, and banning medical debt from showing up on credit reports, etc etc etc.

          Only someone completely unaware of everything going on around them would state that the status quo for Dems is everything getting worse. Paying attention to the smallest degree destroys the lazy take that both parties are the same.
