How much money did the DNC contribute? Why didn't they help fund the Kansas race? Lone Star Apr 2017 #66

To be fair, she also did not fair well in Georgia quakerboy Apr 2017 #76

I'm pissed too fun n serious Apr 2017 #23

Then he should have said "I haven't followed that race." Instead of saying he didn't know pnwmom Apr 2017 #11

He's just not good at speaking off-script. randome Apr 2017 #15

Then he shouldn't go off script to speak about Democrats or his habitual negativity pnwmom Apr 2017 #17

His script is even worse when it comes to Democrats. nt. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #20

You are arguing a point not in contention in my post. NCTraveler Apr 2017 #16

Hear! Hear! kytngirl Apr 2017 #43

It confuses me that you think Bernie running as a spoiler would have been a good thing quakerboy Apr 2017 #78

A true progressive like Mello? RedWedge Apr 2017 #37

Mello, anti Pro Choice Fla Dem Apr 2017 #59

I'll use my sarcasm typeface next time. RedWedge Apr 2017 #60

Ossoff is lewis' guy and georgia went for hillary over him JI7 Apr 2017 #14

No, Georgia did not go for Hillary Clinton mtngirl47 Apr 2017 #32

I think he meant GA went for Hil ... Whiskeytide Apr 2017 #34

Ok....now I get it! mtngirl47 Apr 2017 #40

'doesn't know if Ossoff is a true progressive' musette_sf Apr 2017 #26

Uh, why is this such a huge problem? Warpy Apr 2017 #29

That's the way I see it, but there is a sizable number of people here refighting the primary That Guy 888 Apr 2017 #47

My ignore list is growing Warpy Apr 2017 #48

Exactly...this is a good thread to "thin the herd". Cattledog Apr 2017 #79

That pretty much sums it up. The same actors are involved in most of these OPs. TheBlackAdder Apr 2017 #51

What do you mean? Vesper Apr 2017 #53

This isn't just disagreement, this is a blatant attempt to split the party Warpy Apr 2017 #62

There are a lot of people disagreeing, and it might be a blatant attempt to split the party Vesper Apr 2017 #68

I didn't think a Democratic candidate should seek and accecpt the endorsement of war criminals. That Guy 888 Apr 2017 #95

No, thank you. Vesper Apr 2017 #96

I would be thrilled to never see Bernie's name on DU again. Unfortunately and stupidly some seaglass Apr 2017 #86

Your concern is noted n2doc Apr 2017 #49

Yikes... Mike Nelson Apr 2017 #56

But, he's campaigning for a pro-"lifer".. Cha Apr 2017 #63

I have seen quite a few of Bernie's posts on Facebook since election. kentuck Apr 2017 #64

You might want to listen to how Ossoff identifies himself before going off on Bernie. Ms. Toad Apr 2017 #65

Bernie could have read Jon's website and found that he IS a progressive, pnwmom Apr 2017 #67

Since Ossof has rejected labeling - for whatever reason Ms. Toad Apr 2017 #69

Which post violates which TOS? Do you think it's okay for Bernie to bash Democrats pnwmom Apr 2017 #70

If he is posting on DU, I would alert on it or hide it if I was on a jury. Ms. Toad Apr 2017 #72

Except he doesn't consider himself a Democrat. So why should we? pnwmom Apr 2017 #73

Because the TOS say he is treated as one here. n/t Ms. Toad Apr 2017 #74

The TOS allows constructive criticism, but not "disrespectful nicknames, insults, pnwmom Apr 2017 #75

You didn't include just plain old insults - Ms. Toad Apr 2017 #89

I dont get why yall think its an aspersion quakerboy Apr 2017 #81

He also didn't endorse the only Democrat in the race with a chance to beat the Republicans. pnwmom Apr 2017 #82

Did Ossoff ask for his support? quakerboy Apr 2017 #90

I wouldn't have minded if Bernie had just said , "I didn't follow that race." pnwmom Apr 2017 #91

I disagree quakerboy Apr 2017 #92

I think that Ossoff being labelled as a progressive would hurt him a lot more. Spider Jerusalem Apr 2017 #71

Were of you alerted for abuse? I'm asking because someone alerted on a tweet underthematrix Apr 2017 #80

I'll toast to that.. Cha Apr 2017 #83
