Vote for Hillary? Can't Get Fooled Again [View all] NorthCarolina Oct 2014 OP

What a complete load of bullshit. giftedgirl77 Oct 2014 #1

Bingo! BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #4

Ah, more label BS. Dawgs Oct 2014 #8

Thanks for completely missing my point. Dawgs Oct 2014 #12

Thanks for completely missing my point. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #14

I didn't miss it. There's a reason you don't like Bernie and it's not the one you're throwing out. Dawgs Oct 2014 #18

Yeah, you actually did miss it because you're blinded by your preconceived notions that anybody BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #36

There we have it. "He's too extreme" which means he's un-electable, so let's not even try. Dawgs Oct 2014 #41

Variables and political skill matters. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #65

I agree with you. I think Sanders is a long shot because of his weaknesses. Dawgs Oct 2014 #90

My answer? So far on our side? Only Hillary Clinton. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #112

If always being a Democrat is your criterion, you've just ruled out both Hillary and Warren. merrily Oct 2014 #103

Not my criterion. I was referring to that of a-political voters. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #108

Bernie isn't the slightest bit extreme. Enthusiast Oct 2014 #99

That's not how he'll be projected by Republican billionaires. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #116

I believe we are more likely to see Social Security and Medicare Enthusiast Oct 2014 #149

JUST WTF is that... Historic NY Oct 2014 #20

Huh? Dawgs Oct 2014 #25

Can you name a republican that holds that position? If not, then that is pure hyperbola still_one Oct 2014 #28

Of course I can't. They don't exist. Dawgs Oct 2014 #31

If that happened they wouldn't be a republican anymore, at least by present definition. Would still_one Oct 2014 #56

making a stand by using an imaginary gnome isn't much of a stand Sheepshank Oct 2014 #128

The stand I'm taking is that I will support anyone that is truly far left, regardless of label. Dawgs Oct 2014 #132

Party vote weighs in heavily in my decision, see my post #131 n/t Sheepshank Oct 2014 #134

S/he'd be lucky to name a Democratic politician who holds all those positions. merrily Oct 2014 #102

I agree completely, no more party before Country. A Simple Game Oct 2014 #71

I thought this was a site for what remains sulphurdunn Oct 2014 #29

Actually, this is a site that supports the Democratic Party, to elect MORE Democrats, and BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #38

You blindly support the Democratic Party sulphurdunn Oct 2014 #43

Well, I'm not so arrogant to I believe that the Democratic Party is solely a liberal Party, BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #50

No, it is the Consevative "Democrats" that need to go. JEB Oct 2014 #73

Neoliberals are way too much like Republicans. merrily Oct 2014 #105

+1, that is it in a nutshell. Marr Oct 2014 #126

Be careful what you wish for. merrily Oct 2014 #104

Not wishing for that at all. And I'm not as certain as you BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #114

I was not reading on DU in 2008. From what I have read on DU, I am merrily Oct 2014 #115

I couldn't stay on DU during the 2008 presidential primaries. Too contentious. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #117

That's about all I see on DU about the 2008 primary season--contentious. merrily Oct 2014 #118

based on the lock-step of Senate and Congressional Republican vote... Sheepshank Oct 2014 #131

Sure that's all you want him to change? n/t Dawgs Oct 2014 #7

I have enough sense to know that it will cause a split giftedgirl77 Oct 2014 #10

No, I read the piece of shit OP & like I said unless giftedgirl77 Oct 2014 #13

Nope. Truth. eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #39

Well, since I'm the only one that could know, it's not "Truth". n/t Dawgs Oct 2014 #44

Yeah. And you're all-knowing. BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #52

You're not all-knowing about what you believe. Dawgs Oct 2014 #54

No. I find it weird that you don't what you feel. Dawgs Oct 2014 #89

Huh? eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #107

But that argument is BS, and I think you know this, because Bernie said he would change to D.. Dawgs Oct 2014 #17

Sanders can say he's going to change it all day long... giftedgirl77 Oct 2014 #21

So why the rabid dislike of Bernie? No one has declared they are running yet as a Democrat. Dawgs Oct 2014 #23

Ok, again read it slowly this time.... giftedgirl77 Oct 2014 #26

Good. Because, as I've mentioned, Bernie said he's running as Democrat. Dawgs Oct 2014 #27

IF Senator Sanders goes against his own principles and changes from I to D BlueCaliDem Oct 2014 #45

Works for me. n/t Dawgs Oct 2014 #48

Here's the thing BobbyBoring Oct 2014 #49

Don't know if we don't try. Bernie's position are all extremely popular with most Americans. Dawgs Oct 2014 #51

If he goes D I'm good, never said otherwise. giftedgirl77 Oct 2014 #60
