(626 posts)17. Wow. Are you prepared to be told what else you just said?
I remember seeing the name of the poster in question, but that is all I remember. However, I agree in part with what she apparently said in the quotes in OP. And you are proving the point.

Are you ready to accept responsibility for the actual blood on the hands of elected Democrats who vote for continuing military action in Yemen, Syria, etc?
Yes, Not electing Democrats harms what should be the agenda of the Democratic Party. But the kind of over the top holier-than-thou proclamations such as I have quoted invite criticisms like I have provided.

Seriously. What kind of an infant do you have to be to let someone else decide your vote for you?
