I didn't say the media was supporting Hillary. merrily Mar 2015 #13

Your post could only be taken one way. William769 Mar 2015 #15

The polls are very poorly designed, even when they're trying not to push-poll. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #89

Maybe, this time, the primaries will be non existent or pro forma, at best, though. merrily Mar 2015 #8

Wow. If the Democratic Party wants to eliminate choice, they do it at their own peril. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #90

Do they really do it at their own peril, though? merrily Mar 2015 #93

It might be more accurate to say "at our own peril". True, it took a ton of money for 3rd party. NYC_SKP Mar 2015 #94

Given what Schumer, Brown and Frank--all prominent and powerful people within the party-- merrily Mar 2015 #95

Fear my awesome powers Man from Pickens Mar 2015 #23

Guess that lets Barack Obama out... brooklynite Mar 2015 #24

Take the loyalty oath, dammit! It was good enough for Joe McCarthy, it's good enough for New Dems. merrily Mar 2015 #44

No, he or she is deciding only whom he or she considers a Democrat. Surely, he or she has the power merrily Mar 2015 #29

As i said, I will vote for the candidate on the ballot who closest fits my ideals as a progressive Scootaloo Mar 2015 #25

On the assumption that you're not in a solid red or blue State... brooklynite Mar 2015 #40

Terrorism and the SCOTUS. I would think Democrats would be embarrassed to resort to either of merrily Mar 2015 #43

I understand! Then here we go again with the lesser of two evils! akbacchus_BC Mar 2015 #71

I will not vote for a Democrat that does not fight for economic equality, period. liberal_at_heart Mar 2015 #72

A vote that is not for a Democrat is a vote for the republican. akbacchus_BC Mar 2015 #76

I don't care if you think a vote not for a Democrat is a vote for a Republican. liberal_at_heart Mar 2015 #77

I care, because it's shitty reasoning. No one's vote is "owed" to any party or candidate. winter is coming Mar 2015 #97
