I've been saying for years how the Democrats have no spine and it turns out many Democrats are beginning to wonder if they have a spine.

Thanks to Roberto Bayardo for finding this.

They just aren't equipped to handle the amorality of the GOP. They need new tactics, they need to be more aggressive and they need to learn how to play a long game.

If 'have no spine' equates to 'not willing to lie, cheat, and steal their way to power, then brazenly defend the indefensible', then sure...

Unfortunately there are also too many situations where Democrats play along. Financial crisis? Bailouts? Wars? The Democrats as a party pretty much suppress any serious change, because too many of them have adjusted to the system that fills their pockets. I wonder if those in the party who want to improve it will succeed - or if another party is needed for that.

The writer of this article, for one, shows his love and preference for the Democratic Party, and thus two, fails to see how it's still controlled by the Clinton machine. I think the latter is why the Party is failing; it failed to acknowledge that America had moved to greater extremes than what the Clinton's had anticipated. The Republican Party was no different, it too was trying to back stodgy characters like Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz, only to be gifted by accident the knowledge of where it's electorate had moved to. The Democratic Party electorate is with Bernie Sanders and the rejection of representative government and the favor of pure democracy. Yet, as long as the Clinton Foundation holds all the money, the Democratic Party will continue to be ripped apart.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
