Good lord, how soon we forget BushCheney and the USA PATRIOT ACT

They are the ones who gave us Homeland Security and the TSA. In fact they are the ones who renamed our nation "The Homeland." They and the GOP gave us the super-acronymic USA PATRIOT ACT.

All else follows from this. They laid the groundwork and got it all in place. Please eschew amnesia.

Your information lacks a certain something. Stein DID draw voters away from the Dems....

Hillary did not waste any time "fighting" Stein, though Stein's followers kept up a lively flow of disinformation about Hillary throughout, and I for one am neither going to forgive nor forget that.

Jill Stein is no friend of the Democratic Party nor of Democrats -- and from the looks of those dinner party photos with Putin, she's no friend to democracy, either.

As for Bernie and Hillary, there was a thing called a Primary Election, and once it was over, Hillary got down to brass tacks while Bernie continued to grumble for awhile. Some of his supporters just could not let it go, and at DU they had to be escorted off the board until they cooled off. After a decent interval, Bernie came around and campaigned for Hillary like a gentleman.

The Primaries are over. The TOS says do not continue to refight them. Be advised.

Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay.
