2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis is an actual, verifiable quote. It has been so verified. It was said in public.
You can find reference to it on reputable internet sites of renown. There is no legitimate reason to dispute it.
I will take his advice and counsel over yours.
This trumps any economic issue- (it's impact on Unions notwithstanding, for reasons that the SCOTUS has affirmed those rights over and over again).

Really she. This is below you.

(84,101 posts)Sorry, you are incorrect here. This is falsifying support for BS when there is none.

Unbelievable...

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is a personal attack only, with no comment on the post content itself. Lame insult of a DUer on the grounds they replied quickly should be discouraged. Please vote Hide!

Explanation: Rhett you know hoe to make an argument. You are better than this.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

(7,820 posts)Till we fix this, there's no fixing the other issues we face.We need to make sure people can vote and that their votes count, and we need real campaign finance reform.

(3,431 posts)As long as we are pretending that the votes count,
and watch Disney movies and sports events,
everything is running smoothly.

(2,707 posts), and both only won the popular vote once; Carter can go back to farming peanuts.
Garrett78
(10,721 posts)He was referring specifically to NSA surveillance and the Edward Snowden affair. Nothing more.
JonLeibowitz
(6,282 posts)Garrett78
(10,721 posts)While adding that the invasion of privacy has gone too far.
Personally, I wouldn't prosecute Snowden. Or Chelsea Manning. Or other whistle blowers, who often get charged while the whistle blown go free.
JonLeibowitz
(6,282 posts)Heck, Snowden himself has even indicated he would come back to the US for a fair trial (unlikely to occur), indicating he is (at least in his rhetoric) willing to accept responsibility for perhaps going across the line.
I personally lean towards a full pardon because his service to the country was immeasurable.
questionseverything
(9,667 posts)and he has decried the big money in politics so not just about snowden
Garrett78
(10,721 posts)That was my only point.

(10,493 posts)Etc. from any quotes you've ever posted. Because clearly the only thing more criminal and underhanded than remembering to attribute a quote to it's originator, is to agree with them and share it at all!
Btw, thank you to all who participated in this production of tonight's play on feigned outrage. It was a beautiful demonstration of how we get distracted from what the OP's quote highlighted. Your excellent acting skills will surely help everyone remember this moment, and get back to discussing real issues. If I could grant you all academy awards for best supporting actors/actresses, I would.
Bravo bravo

Sancho
(9,072 posts)Americans have been changing the system, who votes, and how to vote since George Washington.
Minority votes, women votes, and over 18 year old votes occurred within the lifetimes of people who are still alive.
There will continue to be changes. Glad to see that Bernie has noticed...he's a little slow perhaps.
