That's a great quote. Where's it from? I can't find it on Google.

"This is the conversation we should be having" - nope, been there, done that. Now it's "how to beat Trump and downticket Repubs?" plus "who will make the best VP?" When you use the pronoun "our" I've no idea whether you mean you, Sync and Wattree or the mainstream Democrats that just decided a rather stirring primary and are moving forward. Actually it is kinda obvious - you want a mulligan, a Hatfield-McCoys moment. Ain't gonna happen.

Czech euroskeptics are often

Czech euroskeptics are often building up their family-held money tunneling schemes and/or bolstering that special connection with the Russian mafia. Slovaks have been fighting off their right-wing nationalistic yearnings for decades now (it led to the split), and Hungary's gotten way into tje act now. Not sure Poland's situation, but I think Euroskepticism is as much about limits on stealing as it is about benefits for the underclass or tru self-determinism, thougj the prospect of taking a few thousand refugees has thrown some into a tizzy - forgetting their numbers that were refugees in communist days or that the Poles are the new vermin of the UK, despit the fact they're providing good skilled work ratherthan a drain in refugee camps.

Does anyone see Labor Party

Does anyone see Labor Party leader Corbyn's weak endorsement of stay and refusal to campaign for remain alongside Cameron as at fault for the vote?

He was anti-EU in the past as not being liberal enough, and being a tool of capitalists to oppress workers.

He is a 40 year MP veteran who voted against British entry into the EU in 1973.

Like Sanders, Corbyn talks incessantly of a 'new' politics, income inequality, attacks Israel while being soft on Hamas and British anti-terror policy, and has big support among the young social media generation.

He also seems to be a poor leader, as Labor MP's just voted overwhelmingly today to oust him for his lack of leadership, especially in the wake of the apparent disastrous referendum outcome. Most of the leave vote came from Labor Party strongholds.

Most Europeans seem to be Euroskeptics these days, no? Yes, the EU did grudgingly offer Cameron a deal that might have appeased British grumblings. I blame the government/official opposition's half-hearted Remain campaign far more than the EU bureaucracy (which had no role to play in the referendum). France and Germany now seem to realize the EU's problems run deeper than just financial and immigration rules, and are promising changes. Too late for the U.K. and possibly too late for the Union. Globalization is here to stay, and integrating national governments looked like the logical way to counter-balance unbridled capitalism. But despite practical successes, the EU never seemed to win any hearts among those powerless, ill-served and ignored by their own leaders. The European Parliament and executive, physically distant, felt like a further dilution of control. The Brexit vote was a cry of despair. One that will make things worse.

One of my points Hal is we've already had it. Several of us posted long comments with lists of her progressive accomplishments. We gradually got tired. You weren't ready to hear it then. And I understand why. I wasn't ready to hear good things about Obama in the heat of the 08 primary. But when it was over I swallowed my hurt and anger and voted for him. And you know, its silly but after all this time I can still occasionally get angry over things Obama did in 08 that I felt were malicious and unfair to Hillary. I suspect and understand that you feel the same about this year's primary.

Honestly Hal I want to put it behind me, all the debates we had the previous months. I'm really trying not to get involved in a rehash of those debates one more time. But that doesn't mean we won't still defend Hillary if she's attacked or that we won't criticize Sanders so long as he refuses to get on board with the winner of the primary.
