37. What am I supposed to do? Not criticize dems? Not criticize

what I consider to be bad, dangerous ideas and trends? I'll vote for her if she's the nominee. No, I won't donate to her. I've donated to O'Malley. I want to see others get in the primary.

I think she's a corporate, centrist hawk who is fine on social issues. I don't think she's cautious and sticks her finger in the wind far too much (for example on Marriage Equality, she was hardly ahead of the curve). I will not vote for her in the primary no, matter what. I will never vote in the primary for someone who voted for the IWR- and who defended that vote for years. That is still important to me. She was told by people like Kennedy and Leahy precisely why it was so what dangerous.

Yes, she's better than a repuke. No, I don't think she's a good choice.

Why not just tell us? Otherwise your OP has zero content. arcane1 Apr 2015 #29

One of the biggees with this is what is considered the Interstate Commerce Clause. The constitution okaawhatever Apr 2015 #34
