I haven’t posted many diaries, but I’ve been following this site pretty closely from the 2008 election. It’s been my go to dose of progressive news. I don’t get to vote in the primaries until June 4. I will advocate my chosen candidate loudly until then; and I don’t think that calling it a done deal does anyone any service. In fact, this sort of rhetoric is something I bristle at; if you accept my concerns are legitimate and that I have valid points of view, I will eventually come to your point of view. If you dismiss what I care about; if you treat the ideas I care so deeply about as unworthy of discussion, then you’ve lost me.
If we can’t have a vociferous debate about the candidates through the convention, I’m done here.
I will be looking for a new place to hang my hat…
I don’t see a way to delete my account, which I’d much rather because I used my real (middle) name. Is there a way to do that? Or, perhaps an admin would do me the kindness of banning my account.
