O'Rourke is also campaigning at the retail level gratuitous Aug 2018 #6

It would be a helluva victory for justice Dems Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #7

Wha'? Justice Democrats didn't endorse him in the Primary or for the General Election George II Aug 2018 #10

Thanks George. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #16

Yeah, Beto's on his own.. he doesn't need Cha Aug 2018 #25

Wow thats a mistake on their part. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #17

In a long line of mistakes. nt NCTraveler Aug 2018 #138

Mistake? I think they do things the way they do them for a reason. Eliot Rosewater Sep 2018 #195

"justice democrats" Just NO. cenk uygur's brainchild until he got Cha Aug 2018 #22

Well it's a nice idea Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #23

Why? (nt) ehrnst Aug 2018 #143

Not taking corporate corporate contributions is a nice idea. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #146

Sexism is OK, tho? (nt) ehrnst Aug 2018 #148

No. Sexism is not okay. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #149

"Well it's a nice idea" ehrnst Aug 2018 #150

Right. The "not taking money from corporations is a nice idea." Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #151

You didn't answer my question about your response to "sexist past" ehrnst Aug 2018 #152

What part of "no sexism is not okay" did you not understand? Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #154

Um... you didn't say that in response to me when I said "why?" ehrnst Aug 2018 #155

This message was self-deleted by its author Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #156

Sorry no intent to be insulting. That was what I figured your intention was. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #157

Thank you for the apology. ehrnst Aug 2018 #159

Thank you. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #160

That's one way to up a very poor record.. (nt) ehrnst Aug 2018 #85

Those groups have said they will and have endorsed REPUBLICANS! sheshe2 Aug 2018 #60

I respect that position Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #70

I have never in my life not supported the DEMOCRATIC candidate in the GE. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #75

So why do you think that the groups that support them take credit ehrnst Aug 2018 #86

Probably because they help fund them. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #87

I have been invited to at least two high dollar fundraisers for Beto by trial lawyer friends Gothmog Aug 2018 #96

Good! Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #100

The orgs suport candidates "because the orgs fund them?" Circular logic... ehrnst Aug 2018 #129

Oh right cause they endorse them. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #130
