Some are anti democracy as well. BannonsLiver Nov 2017 #48

No you do not get to attack Liz Warren like that american_ideals Nov 2017 #37

It wasn't much of an attack. I just said she disappointed me today. In any event, I don't dispute StevieM Nov 2017 #44

That was very mild and was restricted to one comment. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #79

She's my senator and I must say, I am very disappointed in her. smirkymonkey Nov 2017 #47

That is what they are saying. This means...vote for Gillespie. Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #56

So the primary will cost us Virginia? The gift the keeps on giving...yeah... Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #53

While I think it's a poor decision by DFA, it's inaccurate to say it's because of Brazile PatsFan87 Nov 2017 #58

The timing is suspicious Pugster Nov 2017 #87

Intentionally misleading thread. KPN Nov 2017 #60

It seems to be one more attempt to divide us. I say "nyet." Vinca Nov 2017 #61

What do you think about the group founder's tweet? Pugster Nov 2017 #85

I don't even care about the supposed Sanders/Brazile link...why the hell are they not supporting Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #69

Northam said he would sign a bill KPN Nov 2017 #70

Ok..but can't they disagree with that position but still support him? Who is the better Kirk Lover Nov 2017 #71

If "support" means voluntarily donating their financial resources to Northam, apparently not. KPN Nov 2017 #73

What does Howard Dean have to say about his organization he founded doing this? Autumn Nov 2017 #84

Howard Dean is in shock. He tweeted this: Pugster Nov 2017 #86

It's not as if Gillespie wouldn't sign a bill banning sanctuary cities in a heartbeat. Autumn Nov 2017 #88

AND Gillespie is already running on it... Thanks for nothing you DFA useful idiots... Blue_Tires Nov 2017 #90

Yup and I don't doubt for a moment that they strategized with the Cons on this either GeneMcM Nov 2017 #92
