The Sexual Harrassment/Assault House of Cards

Then there's a good chance they will lose again.  Laugh all you want at Biden, but he would have crushed Trump and may again in 2020.  They have to find a middle of the road guy, unfortunately white, and then pick Elizabeth Warren for the vice-presidency, or a minority candidate.  Elizabeth warren will lose - I don't want that, I'm sorry to say it, but she will lose. But what they really have to do - is cut the bullshit. Fuck these primaries where everyone stabs everyone in the back and makes the eventual winner look like a piece of shit. These dumb-ass democrats need to understand the importance of the next 2 years, and if they can't figure that out, then they are in the fascist plan as well and the only hope is the military. They need to get together, all the "great" minds and come up  with who they want to run - and who they want as vice president- and runs them and then get some bozos who will throw any debates and primaries and the 2 golden couple win by landslides and look great . they need to pull together and come together =- and they need to be ruthless and call a spade a spade when debating that asshole in the white house - but if there is still this divided party, its the end. 
And black people have to vote. Read an article where the democratic party can't get the black voters in Alabama, 40% of the party, to the polls to vote against Moore.  WTF?  They want an end to white supremacy, bad cops killing them, black lives matter, reparations, etc etc etc ...get off your ass and vote 

Had Jim Webb gotten the Democratic nod in 2016, I would have voted for him in a heartbeat. 

It kinda defeats the purpose to have someone with Republican ideology win the Democratic nomination.  That's kinda like me saying "if Kamala Harris was the Republican candidate for President, she would get my vote!"

Yeah, I know. Eugene Debs is too far right for you.

I voted for Ross Perot.  I just would have had a problem voting for the guy who is more like the Vietnam Vet character from Seinfeld who helped Elaine write the Peterman catalog.  I also think running a Democrat who's really a Republican sorta defeats the purpose of what those of us on the left are discussing that we need to do to win elections promoting OUR values.  I don't think changing those values to Republican values is the strategic position we should take.  If we did, we'd just vote for the Republican and call it a week.

I didn't see Jim Webb as a Republican. I saw him as a moderate centrist with common sense. He impressed me with his comment about enemies, which you saw differently than I did. His enemy was out to kill him, not to fight him politically. Last I saw, the NRA, Hillary's "enemy" wasn't trying to kill her.

Was the question about political enemies or was it about enemies? I disagree with 99% of what you stand for, yet I don't consider you an enemy. I've never met Kim Jung Un, but since he wants to see us burn in a nuclear fire, I consider him an enemy.

IT WAS WEIRD!  Has nothing to do with whether or not he's a hero.  His response was gratuitous and manipulative.  It's like when Republicans say something about the media or Hillary and don't answer the actual question in the debate, and the audience goes nuts.  Sorry, PTSD boy.  That would work at a GOP debate.  Know your audience.  I mean, gawd knows that McCain is certainly a war hero, and at times, he would appropriately reference those experiences in his responses.  Like, if the questions were actually about war.  Or torture.  Saying you were proud about having the guy throwing the grenade at you as an enemy is ridiculous.  ***YOU*** WERE NOT HIS ENEMY.  ***YOU*** DID NOTHING TO BE HIS ENEMY.  The United States was his enemy.  Gratuitous.  Insane.

Considering what is currently sitting in the oval office...there's concern about Webb being a little on the odd side?
