re: #454 piratedan

upon thinking on this stuff and the outrage and disdain that people feel this passionate about their politics and overall, I’m okay with most of it. Do I wish more of the niceties had been observed…. yes…

could Sanders have behaved better… yes… his delegates… yes
could I have wished that the Hilary folks just could have let it slide… yes, can I understand why they didn’t. Hell yes.

It’s the small stuff that is telling… Sanders says to make her the nominee by acclimation but he wants his delegate count noted into the record. Does that seem small. Yes it does. Does it change any fucking thing? No it doesn’t, but it just seems small. Especially so in the light of the moment where a woman heads a major party ticket in forever of this nation. He still seemed intent on winning the small coups instead of acknowledging that the race was over.

If anything, I think it speaks to the nature of Clinton’s character, the fact that she let him have his way on all of this small-small shit in order to rein him in and get the band together for the road trip gives me a fair amount of faith that if we manage to flip the house and/or the Senate for her, we may actually get some shit done in this country. Because I have the firm belief that once her ass is in the chair, she has no reason at all to play nice with those that have slung stones and arrows from afar, but she’ll be nice anyway.

Pretty much. I want a President who doesn’t spend her time mired in little bullshit details, who can keep focused on the goal.
