I think she's ethical enough Aerows Aug 2015 #16

Speaking as a Bernie fan, the DNC chair shouldn't be taking sides. backscatter712 Aug 2015 #32

No, you showed me an article where the guy was LEAVING Libertarianism for Bernie! cascadiance Sep 2015 #62

I'm a "people of color", and I could not be less interested in BS, and I don't give two shits when Tarheel_Dem Sep 2015 #63

The reason they supported Clinton, is the reason they are leaving Clinton Babel_17 Sep 2015 #51

That's how it works. JDPriestly Sep 2015 #53

Great speaker, but hardly a progressive. Scuba Aug 2015 #19

The Oligarchs that own the Democratic leadership don't like progressives. nm rhett o rick Aug 2015 #21

You noticed that too, eh? Scuba Aug 2015 #24

Gee, what a brilliant rebuttal! merrily Sep 2015 #42
