That’s Trumplang. People are not brands and they shouldn’t be branded.

Simple shorthand for a marketing or PR strategy. No slander meant in use of the term. All candidates seek to find a niche which separates them from competing candidates. Sanders does this too. And of course this extends beyond politicians or product sales. It's not a "bad" thing.

@snood,
1. Lewis lied about Bernie.
2. I’ll say what I damn well please.

I’ll reiterate here that I think Bernie did the right thing missing Selma this year—because, yes, he’s damned if he does and if he doesn’t.

Trump does regularly. But I wouldn't expect them to turn their big guns on the primary candidates. They'll wait until after the convention.

Good for you. But there were people who donated a lot more, enough to exceed individual limits on donations. Over 600 pages of violations:

@revelette3,
The Democratic Party used to be liberal.
The Clintons moved it right.
Progressives are pushing the party back closer to where it was.

A ‘majority’ of the D party of record is a bunch of racist republicans who don’t know what they are. Our case is there are Independents and voters who walked away in disgust from corruption and mediocrity and the ‘soft racism’ of a right-leaning Dem Party.

This, I think, is the last chance for anti-corruption and liberalism, American style.

We’ve got one more move up our sleeve if we’re cheated again.

Why you people fight real change, accountability in government, and a roaring end to structural racism is a mystery to me—but we’ll see who wins.

A lot of those stupid little blue hairs from Iowa had no idea Buttigieg was gay. Their basic political depth was butterfly leg deep.

They are nowhere in the vicinity of being ‘democratic’!

Last week I popped in to a site where I used to post a lot and where I still have a lot of friends. I suggested (with explanation) that we on the left ought to support whomever becomes the nominee. One fine fellow was strident that under no circumstances would he vote for Sanders. My further attempts to convince him otherwise were not successful.

We're going to have people with such strong opinion either as regards one candidate or another. That's just reality.

He added that he wouldn't work to discourage others re a Sanders vote but that he would spend all his energies working down ballot.

I find no fault with that whatsoever regardless of who's name is in that "I won't vote for _________" blank.

Trust me Bernie, when people brand you as anti-Democratic, it's not because they love you.

@Lash,
They likely didn't give a rat's tail section about Buttigeg's sexuality. Silver and blue haired people back in the 50s and 60s didn't care what Liberace did off stage. They enjoyed his music. The older folk voting in Iowa enjoyed Buttigieg's message. His platform. His ideas.


Incidentally, isn't your snide snide comment about 'blue hairs " from Iowa having no 'political depth' running contrary to the stated wishes of Sanders?


Keep up your game, soon there'll be a drawing of you in the encyclopedia next to the item about internet trolls.
(the drawing will be done in black marker by your buddy Trump)

@Sturgis,
When I first heard there was such a thing as gay people around age 14, I supported them, though I couldn’t figure out for the longest time how women had sex with each other. This was in rural South Georgia. I wholeheartedly support being who you are.

I saw a video—as most of you probably did—of an older woman at a polling place in Iowa, demanding her ballot back when she discovered after she voted that Pete was gay.

Low info voters are killing us.

Pete’s gayness is great with me—his horrible ideas and conservatism are not.

To risk 4 more years of Trump because you don't like an old Jewish social-democrat with a funny Brooklyn accent? That's fucked up, man, and not different in essence from Lash's "never Clinton" stance.

The risk is four more years without him. Maybe you should worry about the globalist suck puppy running your country.

Re-read my post. You have it backwards. I was arguing against his position. And I spent a fair bit of time and many words doing so.

How many worlds do we live on? 1 and everybody is tied together in a whole lot of ways. It's two centuries too late for isolationism to be feasible.. lots of food comes from abroad. Most of your electronics. Probablybly your car and certainly your car parts. No way to ignore a global perspective.
