Anyone threatening to align with the GOP is dead to me - might as well join the GOP.

The House is the one body of government controlled by Democrats. It's leadership, focus, rules, etc should be decided by those dedicated to Democrats and working from within the party.

Any Democrat siding with the Republicans to install a Republican speaker after what happened in this election is performing political suicide.

Democrats need to sort these things out within the party - not threats to join Republicans.

I'm up for a transition from Nancy in 2020 but garbage like this makes me want to retain her all the more because where these folks are trying to take the party isn't what got Democrats control of the House.

After what the GOP has done with the judges and the 2016 election, bipartisanship is dead. Republicans are either criminals or covering for them in my view. Why should Democrats consort with criminals?

No one mentioned Justice Dems. Cenk is not even part of the Pac anymore. Bfd Nov 2018 #42

you are the one that constantly links them up on other threads, not me Celerity Nov 2018 #45

And? Wtf does that have to do with the subject of this thread? Bfd Nov 2018 #54

Interacting with you has helped train me Celerity Nov 2018 #70

Upon reflection (& a quick profile view,lol), I must admit that I find a TWO MONTH OLD poster (you) Celerity Nov 2018 #76

A bit creepy. As we used to say, "Dox much?" George II Nov 2018 #82

How is that doxxing? melman Nov 2018 #87

... lapucelle Nov 2018 #112

In other words, nobody mentioned Justice Democrats and/or TYT until you did. lapucelle Nov 2018 #71

it was (as I posted) from another thread where that poster did the same thing Celerity Nov 2018 #74

That is quite a BMUSing post! My goodness, full of false accusations. Bfd Nov 2018 #88

DOX??? what are you talking about? Celerity Nov 2018 #90

This message was self-deleted by its author Bfd Nov 2018 #95

Lol. No. But she did have a hand in it. Just so you know. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2018 #124

So the poster never mentioned Justice Democrats in this thread, lapucelle Nov 2018 #109

the poster I replied to injected Cenk and srandon and has a long history of always bringing Celerity Nov 2018 #110

Questioning the equation a person unaffiliated with a group with that group is not "microparsing". lapucelle Nov 2018 #111

that poster has a history of conflating Cenk and JD and TYT together Celerity Nov 2018 #113

All that post was saying is that AOC's district are Hillary R B Garr Nov 2018 #115

hello??? I am not trying to 'shut people up' Celerity Nov 2018 #117

You are the one who brought a whole tangent about R B Garr Nov 2018 #120

I don't keep track of other people's "histories". You were the one who conflated here. N/T lapucelle Nov 2018 #116

I wasn't keeping track, all I did was post direct previous replies to me from them Celerity Nov 2018 #118

In all my years at DU (a week shy of 15) I've only come across one person.... George II Nov 2018 #119

Ahh, R B Garr Nov 2018 #121

I am a gyazo user from my Skype usage, my groups uses it Celerity Nov 2018 #123

The original format was not an image. N/T lapucelle Nov 2018 #130

Why screen cap rather than post a link or excerpt? lapucelle Nov 2018 #125

It's gyazo. The user screen caps, the image is saved as a link, and then the user accesses the link lapucelle Nov 2018 #131

According to your profile Heddi Nov 2018 #133

Okay, so staying on topic, how many people have YOU seen post screen shots of other posts? George II Nov 2018 #134

Honestly, I really don't give a fuck Heddi Nov 2018 #135

If you "don't give a fuck", why did you comment in the first place? Just asking for a friend. George II Nov 2018 #136

Because you asked Heddi Nov 2018 #139

So, you research others' histories here and choose to comment on them..... George II Nov 2018 #140

So one isn't supposed to have a life outside of DU? Heddi Nov 2018 #143

Bless your heart, thanks for your concern about my well being, but I'm fine. From what I can see... George II Nov 2018 #145

It's amazing that you were able to pluck this one teeny R B Garr Nov 2018 #146

That doesn't make any sense. Sarandon didn't want bipartisanship with Trump or Republicans. JCanete Nov 2018 #11

As you know, Sarandon said before the election that it would be better for Trump pnwmom Nov 2018 #25

She was rooting for trump ever since the Convention ended. And she STILL, as you point out.. George II Nov 2018 #47

Debra Messing ripped Sarandon for claiming Trump was responsible for the Dems midterm successes. LastLiberal in PalmSprings Nov 2018 #66

Bazinga! George II Nov 2018 #77

It may not be encouraging, but we all know Trump was a big part of our midterm successes. Denying JCanete Nov 2018 #103
