that's how things work. they don't just fall on your lap

what are they pushing for, exactly?
they wanted debbie out. now she is
what next?
this is what id like to know. what are they pushing for?

you dont have to. i think that type of behaviour is childish- i dont know anything about these protesters- but i do have an opinion about this kind of behaviour.
we are to censor words now?

i hope so. but they just be enough of a constituency to win the candidacy for trump
not only that.... i can imagine what impact this is having on people *outside* of the DNC who might have been wavering
i.e. those (repugs and independents) who would've preferred anything but a vote trump
and are now like, definitely *not* - the DP is just as bad - because *we* are telling them that the DP is just as bad
instead of this being a focus on the platform and issues
its not. we are still being told, not enough of an accomodation

i think thats the reason i've given up on this constituency - not that i dont think dialogue is important. but this is not about wanting dialogue
this is about proving pre-conceived notions
