Claiming for instance, that Sherrod Brown is a "corporatist".

Insisting that if they don't get their idea of a progressive candidate, Trump will win in 2020. (and yes, these are people who will not vote for someone they call a "corporate dem".)

Hopefully enough people learned their lesson in 2016. I do NOT want Cory Booker as the nominee (or several others), but if he is the nominee, I will be working to get him elected.

"if you don't luvluvluv every single Democratic candidate you must be a russian tool" whiners.

Hopefully enough people learned their lesson in 2016. I do NOT want to drive people out of the party because they are insufficiently enthusiastic about my candidate in the primary.

candidate gets selected in the primary, is bullshit, and I don't care who you support.

And yes, a post I saw this morning was a threat to withhold effort and votes in the general.

I don't luvluvluv any of the Democrats who have announced so far. I like some of them better than others. There are some that I hope realize quickly they are going nowhere but away, and go there (away) quickly. But if ANY of them are nominated, I **WILL** support them in the general - and by "support" I don't mean just grudgingly vote for them and slink away.

I would hope all progressives, liberals, or frankly pretty much anyone who wants Trump gone, would do the same.

Is saying there was domestic violence complaints by his ex wife.
Ex denies, she & her 2nd husband have hosted fundraisers for the Senator.

I expect that will float up soon.

they feel threatened. GOOD.

I hope there isn't anything of actual substance. I mentioned him though because I think it is ridiculous to call him a corporatist, and I wanted to show just how far around the bend some people seem to be. Or the level of lying they will do to smack down anyone but their preferred candidate.

There are at least a few pretty good candidates. I think Brown is one. Not necessarily who I will support by primary time - I am still investigating. I just think it's ludicrous to criticize him that particular way.

The then potential gop candidate- Josh Mandel- is a Koch property. Mandel & Brown ran against each other in 2012 & Koch $$$$$. Brown won. Mandel dropped out in early in Jan 2018,seems he caught the state gop by suprise.

(As a snide aside Mandel looks alot like trey gowdy, but with better hair)

I know of several people who refused to vote for Romney in '12 because "Hes a RINO". Working with these folks, I would just laugh to myself when they would whine about him being the candidate; "Pres Obama thanks you for your indignation". Silently of course!!!

I’m already leaning toward Kamala Harris but it’s WAY early. There definitely are people I’ve already ruled out. Keeping my eyes, ears, and mind open, though. We haven’t seen the whole field of availabilities and possibilities yet.

In a perfect world, Hillary. I STILL believe she’s the best of the bunch.

That said, however, I simply couldn’t bear to see her beaten up again. I couldn’t bear to see her muddied up and bloodied up and dragged through the dirt and lied about and hurt like that again. And once she got the job, the bad guys would never stop piling on, blocking her way, obstructing her efforts, smearing her name, preventing her from getting anything accomplished, overdosing on more meaningless investigations that never turned up anything in THREE FREAKIN’ DECADES of trying, and keeping all the scabs picked open and oozing on the many wounds they’ve inflicted upon her through the years.

Bastards.
