Mar 2014

or is it just complaints without actually trying to do something ?

this happened with terry mcauliffe where he had no primary opponent and ended up winning the nomination. as we got closer to election day that's when these so called liberal activists started complaining about him not being liberal enough or some other shit.

so why didn't they run anyone in the primary.
