au contraire bigtree Jul 2018 #19
Majorly Whinging. Cha Jul 2018 #133
LOL, how naive. R B Garr Jul 2018 #20

Or like one of our local popinjays says: Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2018 #119

K&R for visibility. lunamagica Jul 2018 #90
So...the just of the article is that there are different strands of "socialism". LiberalLovinLug Jul 2018 #91

there are other women competing in those races bigtree Jul 2018 #107
Welders supported AOC's primary campaign? SunSeeker Jul 2018 #112

Well, Davids' agenda is a livable wage, good education and universal health coverage. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #116

And GaryCnf Jul 2018 #155
And SunSeeker Jul 2018 #156
I post her words GaryCnf Jul 2018 #158
I posted Davids' words. You seem determined not to read them. nt SunSeeker Jul 2018 #160
What part of this is anything other than pure mainstream GaryCnf Jul 2018 #142
She is in the mainstrain of progressives Dems. She is to the left of many red state Dems on guns. SunSeeker Jul 2018 #161
Do you not see the irony GaryCnf Jul 2018 #162
So you admit you lied when you said she's "no further left that the most right-leaning Democrats." SunSeeker Jul 2018 #163
you know well that's the business of these individual campaigns bigtree Jul 2018 #126
So Bernie is just doing this "for his chance to represent Democrats in the fall"?! nt SunSeeker Jul 2018 #129
Sharice Davids is an excellent choice to represent her Cha Jul 2018 #128
Davids is not just as progressive as Welders oberliner Jul 2018 #117
