LOL!!! ElementaryPenguin Mar 2025 #23

I remember that line. BigmanPigman Mar 2025 #66

that is exactly what I was going to say CANADIANBEAVER69 Mar 2025 #30

OK. So she won't support Democrats with her vote(s). no_hypocrisy Mar 2025 #27

Looks like performative politics to me. What is she going to be become a Republican now? I don't think so. Walleye Mar 2025 #28

This action tells you she was never really a Democrat anyway. A Democrat would not become an independent, but fight JohnSJ Mar 2025 #59

She used to work for Bernie Sanders, if I recall. Nixie Mar 2025 #62
