for "political expediency" twist themselves into a pretzel when their anti-woman, hateful, misogynistic and bigoted views towards my reproductive rights aren't in ANY WAY SIMILAR to the suggestion that we run a candidate who is expressly anti-civil rights, or who is expressly anti-immigration, or who is blatantly anti-muslim. ooo no, that's different, see. We'd NEVER run a candidate who would take away rights of black people because that would be going against the basic principles of the democratic party!!! But supporting someone who doesn't believe in abortion, or birth control....eh, political expediency!
