"It's a clear effort to turn the Democratic Party into an instrument of white male domination Besides you all have posted dozens of threads talking about how you want Manchin gone Now suddenly you hold him up as an example How stupid do you think people are"

"You all spent the primary denouncing arguments about practicality." Ummm, wrong.

Who are my candidates? You supported Hillary in 2016 who was objectively less "progressive" than Bernie. Your opportunistic purity is transparent.

Don't you think it's ironic that your argument has lead to actual white supremacists running the country?
