the juvenile name-calling blame game sure to start immediately upon the coronation of a candidate, designed to allow the adolescent urge to gang warfare to proliferate, and to win the blame game when the candidate selected by the majority doesn't win?

I've got a better name for those who think that's a great idea: bullies.

That kind of bullying is likely to lose more votes than it wins, so let's be more specific: moronic bullies.

The Democratic Party loses more of my respect every time the majority refuses to be accountable for their own votes. If the nominee can't win, it's the fault of the nominee and the majority who chose to nominate him or her, not the fault of the voters who were taken for granted or thrown under the bus. Assuming a clean election process and vote count, of course.

Nobody owes the nominee a vote. Votes are earned. Why not go out and earn some, instead of trying to engage in more divisive bullshit?

Even better, if you already think you're going to lose, and need to gear up for this war before the nomination is even official, why not put all of that excess energy where it might do some good?

Instead of battling voters who don't agree with you, if you want warfare, take on the issue of election fraud and corruption. Without confronting and cleaning up that mess, you won't win anyway.
