I find the dismissal of AOC here cilla4progress Nov 2020 #3

As disappointing as her dismissal of the Democratic Party as expressed in Heather Cherone's tweet? George II Nov 2020 #4

Still avoiding the relevant response, eh? LanternWaste Nov 2020 #71

I don't think you do get it melman Nov 2020 #73

I said on track, there are un-called races in CA we will likely lose when all is said and done nt liskddksil Nov 2020 #99

Well I guess we'll have to see if and when it becomes a "poor election cycle". Right now it's not. George II Nov 2020 #103

Names get floated and shot down all the time in these situations, and the party marches on. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2020 #35
