So the other 10% get a free pass? NurseJackie Sep 2017 #1

As I said, they were likely never Democrats berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #2

So why all the concern for them? NurseJackie Sep 2017 #6

I think you need to re-read my OP. There is no defense or sympathy for them. berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #8

No, those other "demographiics" never claimed to be progressive. SunSeeker Sep 2017 #98

Then we should be bashing Union Members too. 42% of them voted for trump. progressoid Sep 2017 #101

None of those thought they were voting for a progressive. nt SunSeeker Sep 2017 #105

So they get a pass? progressoid Sep 2017 #117

Call it defense if you want. I call it the facts. Stein got 1% of the vote, Autumn Sep 2017 #18

Non-and-Stein voters can go fuck themselves. No seat at the table... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #25

Irelevent. Stein got 1% of the vote and Hillary won the election by over three million votes. Autumn Sep 2017 #31

LOL! She wasn't irrelevant. You're ignoring facts. NurseJackie Sep 2017 #36

I don't do grudges either Jackie. A person getting 1% of the vote is irelevent, YMMV. Autumn Sep 2017 #43
