2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBerniecrat Lucy Flores opines on the Nevada events...
I understand and share the frustration that many progressives in Nevada feel, but there were actions over the weekend and at the Democratic convention that very clearly crossed the line.
Progressives need to speak out against those: making threats against someones life, defacing private property, and hurling vulgar language at our female leaders. Regardless of whether you agree with the leadership of our Chairwoman Roberta Lange, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do her actions warrant being harassed, insulted with misogynistic vulgarities and or threatened in any way.

(5,815 posts)Oh my stars and garters, chalk and pejoratives! The horror of it all. We must discuss this trauma over sweet tea while fanning ourselves gently on the lanai to overcome the friction of the moment.

Perhaps you missed the obvious sarcasm Prism meant?

(47,209 posts)So much for your cheesy excuse, should have thought that through a little better. Because his post was ugly as fuck.
So ugly, I will preserve it here:

(6,282 posts)The mocking is at the person talking in an affected manner ! Since POC did not talk like that, it is not mocking them. I don't know how much clearer this can be.
What Prism posted is not at all ugly, you just misunderstood it.
Source: every time Jon Stewart mocked Lindsey Graham for talking in an affected way.

Nice as it would be to give you some credit here, it's hard to believe it's not an act.
Zero points.

(2,578 posts)Maybe the Admins ARE watching now. And an awful lot of BSers on DU are complaining that they are not getting onto juries like they used to. And with high percentage numbers. As I said...maybe the Admins ARE watching now.

(45,319 posts)according to her only overcome by the courageous activism of original AIDS activists Ron and Nancy Reagan, both she and her supporters in life and on DU refused to discuss the matter. 'She tweeted an apology, she made a mistake, why do you keep talking about it, she said she's sorry!!!!!!'
So the people who insulted others should say sorry then we declare it to 'just a mistake' and we move on, like we did when your candidate praised the Republicans whose silence and inaction cost the lives of thousands of Americans.
One side gets to say and do anything, no matter how vile, ignorant or Pro Republican and yet they hold the other side to extreme culpability for the action of anyone claiming to be on that side. Your own candidate shat on the graves of my friends and family. And you all laughed about it.
Do not expect my vote, support nor affections in the future.
